Socialist Riots

May Day is historically a day for the workers of the world to unite, and march. In other words, a call for socialism. In the 2016 campaign picture, Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, has decided to run as a Democrat for the presidency. As Newsweek said when Obama took office, "We are all socialists now."

A Godly Right to Privacy

First, we must understand that the Constitution does not give rights, and it does not guarantee rights. We institute government to protect our rights from being infringed upon by other individuals, groups, organizations, and from the government itself that has been put into place to safeguard those rights by following the rule of law. In the end, our rights belong to us, so it is really our own responsibility to guarantee our rights.

Supreme Court's Supreme Problems

MSNBC asks, "Is the Supreme Court broken?" The logic in the online article that asks that question has some merit, and in fact, in some ways the writer asks the right questions. Sometimes, leftists teeter on the truth, but usually their ideology doesn't allow them to locate the right answers.

California Drought: All About Control

If Barack Obama can bypass his legislature, and seize executive control like a dictator at the national level, California Governor Jerry Brown has determined he can do the same at the state level. The liberal left blames Pat Brown, the California governor that was Jerry Brown's father, for the water crisis California faces by determining it was Pat Brown's decision to bring water to Southern California which encouraged millions upon millions to come to Southern California, which in turn created a population so big that there isn't enough water to quench the thirst of all of them.

World Prepares for Russian Aggression

In 2008, Russia gained control over South Ossetia and Abkhazia from neighboring Georgia, and then last month, on the anniversary of occupying Crimea, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a 25 year Treaty of Alliance and Integration, solidifying control over South Ossetia.

When the Iran Deal Hits the Fan

Neville Chamberlain's name will live in infamy. Chamberlain was Prime Minister of Great Britain when the Nazis were on the rise in Germany prior to the Second World War. Neville was a pacifist, a guy that, if alive today, would have peace signs plastered throughout his office. His foreign policy was much like Barack Obama's, filled with "negotiate first" and "appeasement" insertions to the point that it was disastrous.

Ted Cruz: Eligible for President, or not?

The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent

Obama and United Nations to Force Netanyahu into Two-State Solution

President Barack Obama always gets what he wants. He circumvents the Constitution, and circumvents Congress, to do it, but he always gets what he wants in the end. I am sure it is frustrating to him that the Republicans refuse to be a rubber stamp for Obama's foreign anti-American policies. But, despite the "obstructionists," as he likes to call them, in Congress, Obama has succeeded in federalizing a number of issues, creating racial divide, and knocking America down a few notches on the world stage.

Hidden Truth: The Poison of Statism

The true enemy is statism. We can argue ideology, Democrat versus Republican, liberalism versus conservativism, or left versus right all we want, but in the end "big government," especially in a manner that is in direct opposition to the rule of law, and the United States Constitution, is the enemy.

World War II Vet: "I Was Young"

A couple of years ago at a Veteran's Day event in Hemet, California, I had the opportunity to talk to a 92-year-old World War II veteran. Today I spoke with an 89-year-old World War II veteran. Both said the same thing to me. "It was hell, but I was proud to serve."

Obama's Empowerment of Islam

Numerous conversations I have with folks have shown me that there are a number of people out there that not only believe that President Obama is an anti-American President, but that he is a Muslim. In the end, it is all speculation, for Barack Obama has never given anyone indisputable evidence regarding his faith, which is why Scott Walker accurately indicated he had no idea what Obama's faith is.

Obama's Threat of War Against Israel

There is an old saying. If Islam was to lay down its weapons in the Middle East, there would be no more war in the region. If Israel was to lay down its weapons in the Middle East, there would be no more Israel in the region. When a threat against Israel rises, time and time again the small Jewish nation launching a first strike has saved them from annihilation.

Obama's True Enemy

Republicans, and conservatives that file into Tea Party meetings and rallies, Constitution Classes, and Libertarian gatherings, say time and time again that they are so tired of having to battle the failures of President Barack Obama. His failed policies are nearly more than they can digest.

FCC: You Won't Know What's In Net Neutrality Until We Force It Upon You

The power grab is on, and the Obama Executive Branch will keep it all under wraps until it is too late for you to protest against it. Such has been the tendency of the Obama White House for six years, but now the brazen tyranny is being pranced in front of us as if the hard left minions of President Obama are daring us to make a peep about it.

Fiscal Policy and the Federal Reserve

While the politicians in Washington, D.C., claim we have a revenue problem and they must increase our taxes to fix the problem, the truth is we have a spending problem that they are unwilling to address. Unconstitutional spending by the federal government runs rampant, and the professional politicians of both parties are battling for control over that money, and the control of our liberty that accompanies that spending. Both sides of the political coin defend big government, seeking more power, and spending more and more of We the People's money to achieve that power.

FCC and Obama Claims Federal Supremacy to Regulate Internet

When it comes to actions by the federal government, people get caught up in the myth that the federal government has legal supremacy over everything. If the federal government does it, we are convinced, the States must get out of the way. There is nothing you can do about it, the federal government is legally supreme in all cases, making the federal government king and ruler over all.

Fair Tax, Flat Tax, and the United States Constitution

As Federal Spending continues to skyrocket, and the deflation of the American Dollar worsens while the Federal Reserve keeps pumping fiat money into our weakened economy (while deceptively telling us we are in an economic recovery), we have come to the conclusion as Americans that something needs to be done about the madness.

The Brian Williams Untruth

Brian Williams lied. It turns out he was not on a helicopter that was hit in Iraq. He was not caught in a war scenario, and if he had been, he probably would have soiled his pants, and cried big giant pacifist tears. He's not the first to make such false claims, and he won't be the last.

No Extremists in Islam

The United States Government, the Mainstream Media, and the demands of Political Correctness all label Muslims committing terrorism as being "extremists." We constantly ask where the peaceful Muslims are. We are told that Islam is a Religion of Peace, and "radicals" who are committing atrocities in the name of Islam are not the true representation of Islam. The White House has gone so far as to label acts of terrorism as being "workplace violence," or "violence by extremist radicals uncharacteristic of Islam."

DRUDGE: Scott Walker Clear Front-Runner

As the 2016 GOP field for President of the United States takes shape, we have seen a clear division between the progressive establishment, and the conservatives. Mitt Romney has bowed out of the race early, but according to the media, his establishment colleague, Jeb Bush, is the front-runner of the massive field of republican candidates
