For years I’ve run into people who appeal to the Constitution for justification of the welfare state. The theme of high taxes on the productive that should be redistributed to the “less fortunate” is based on a misreading of the “general welfare” clause found in Article I, section 8 of

Mitt Romney is the presumptive GOP candidate who will face President Obama in November. I’m not happy about it, but it is what it is. I have to deal with it. Ron Paul supporters are hoping against hope that somehow he’s going to get the nomination. The best they can

The bureaucrats are at it again. Not only are they requiring that spas and swimming pools install permanent lifts for the disabled but a new set of opinions is coming out of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to protect prospective employees who have “gender identity” issues. If enacted, the

Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, said the following on Al Sharpton’s program: “We’re headed in the right direction. Unemployment continues to drop and those people who are unemployed, they’re not going to be voting for the party who wants to cut their benefits, cut access to food stamps,

Popular author and radio talk-show host Michael Medved wrote an article in the April 23, 2012 issue of USA Today dealing with religion and politics. He scolds “social conservatives who claim to revere the plain text of the Constitution [but] seem determined to ignore its prohibition on religious tests for

George Washington said, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” People who vote for a more powerful government are more dangerous than government itself. One way to keep these types of people from voting would

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to posses arms.  History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.” — Adolph Hitler 193 “Waiting periods are only a step.

Arizona governor Jan Brewer is considering signing into law a bill that would “make the Bible and its role in Western culture the subject of an elective high school course.” The Senate passed it with a vote of 21–9 after it was approved by the House. The content of the

“Bossip” is a black celebrity gossip website. Rep. Allen West, a black Republican representing Florida’s 22nd congressional district, was called a “house slave” and an “Uncle Tom” by members of the staff. They don’t like the fact that the successful West isn’t a slave to the Leftist welfare agenda and

There are no such restrictions on our government. Billions of dollars are at its disposal, and disposal is the right word. If the federal General Services Administration wants to take a trip to Las Vegas and spend nearly a million dollars, they can do it. It’s not their money. Now

The following article has been making its way around the internet. No one knows who wrote it, but it’s spot on. I’ve done some editing to make it more readable. — The Godfather Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells,

President Obama needs to stick to being the President and stay out of everybody else’s business. As a law professor, he surely knows his limited powers as specified in the Constitution, although his recent comments on judicial review make me wonder. He is not the nation’s policeman. Remember in 2009

Our founders wanted a free press. It was a gutsy move on the part of men who would one day hold public office. They would be open to criticism and there would be nothing they could do about it. I’ve heard a story that the first person marching in a

Christians would be a large voting-block if a majority of them voted and voted consistently. Unfortunately, too many Christians are under the false belief that whatever the government is doing, they must support it because it is “ordained by God.” Here is an email I received from one such confused

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “Stalinism is associated with a regime of terror and totalitarian rule.” Forcing people to buy a commodity like healthcare is the very definition of totalitarianism. The 2,700-page “Affordable Care Act” (Obamacare) can be nothing but totalitarian. There are so many unknowns in the law that

Professor Kari Norgaard has written a paper in which she argues that “cultural resistance” to the hypothesis that humans are responsible for climate-change “must be recognized and treated” as an aberrant sociological behavior. Yikes! Should we expect to see re-education camps being set up, similar those in the Gulag camps

“The Italians are coming,” Dave (Dennis Christopher) exclaims in the film Breaking Away (1979) as he learns that a professional Italian biking team is coming to Bloomington, Indiana. It turns out that these Italians have little concern for the rules of cycling as Dave finds out in a race with

The New Black Panther Party is offering a $10,000 bounty for a citizen’s arrest of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is accused of murdering Trayvon Martin. There have also been death threats against Zimmerman and his family. This is not free speech even though it’s being treated that way. The so-called New Black
