Notable Quote – Goerge Will

The Declaration is not just chronologically prior to the Constitution, it is logically prior. As Timothy Sandefur writes, the Declaration “sets the framework for reading” the Constitution, so it is the Constitution’s “conscience”: By the terms with which the Declaration articulates the Constitution’s purpose – the purpose is to “secure” unalienable rights – the Declaration intimates … Read more

Our Dress Rehearsal for a Police State

May 2, 2020 Rick Olson

By Dennis Prager, writing on Town Hall

All my life, I have dismissed paranoids on the right (“America is headed to communism”) and the left (“It can happen here” — referring to fascism). It’s not that I’ve ever believed liberty was guaranteed. Being familiar with history and a pessimist regarding the human condition, I never believed that.

But the ease with which police state tactics have been employed and the equal ease with which most Americans have accepted them have been breathtaking.

People will argue that a temporary police state has been justified because of the allegedly unique threat to life posed by the new coronavirus. I do not believe the data will bear that out. Regardless, let us at least agree that we are closer to a police state than ever in American history.

So, how far down Despot Lane have State Governors gone – Anecdotes, Part 1

May 2, 2020 Skip

Almost as soon as they started to bubble up I’ve been trying to keep all the links portraying how roughshod various Governors have gotten and overstepping their bounds with ignoring Constitutional Values and precepts and, perhaps, what their reactions have been.

Marriage, moms and dads, never mattered more.

May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 Stephen Scaer

Children need their moms and dads, especially in times of crisis. Sadly, marriage rates fell by 6% in 2018, dropping to the lowest rates since the US started measuring that rate in 1867, according to the Center for Disease Control. Why should we care? Well, marriage as an exclusive, life-long relationship between one man and … Read more

NH Dem Convinced Tara Reade could not have been sexually assaulted unless she helped

March 29, 2024May 1, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The media avoided the story for as long as it could. Yes, the Tara Reade “rape allegation.” The classic comparison is to the Kavanaugh witch trials. And that’s a fair bit of hypocrisy from Democrats who are avoiding this like the COVID Plague. But my first take was a bit different.

Notable Quote – Orrin J. H. Johnson

On Nevada about to open up: emphasis mine: These shutdowns were always meant to be temporary, emergency measures, like a donut spare tire you can only use until you get to the shop. It was to give us time to expand our hospital capacity, which we’ve done, and to spread out the infections so we … Read more
