The erosion of biblical Judao/Christian ethics and the philosophy of “hate God, family and country” has waged an ever-increasing war for the past century on the philosophy of Americanism: “governments are instituted among men to secure the God-given rights of “we the people”—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This challenge to the world of … Read more
A refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union.” That was James Madison’s answer to federal overreach – a strategy rooted in the very principles that founded the American republic. But you won’t hear about Madison’s enforcement strategy in government-run schools. Instead, they push the myth that only the federal government can determine the extent … Read more
I, admit that I do frequent Carbon Upfront! to debate the Left. That said, at least most of the folks there are normal when it comes to their writing/comments even if it is a bit blinkered regarding Freedom and Liberty. It is, after all, a Left-leaning Eco-Socialist site, but at least the conversations are a … Read more

Words from years ago yet with an impact. Sorrowfully, they are needed as we, as an American Society, are hanging over that precipice of the proverbial tipping point: “Who is serving who?” We CALL them elected Representatives, but who do they really serve? Emphasis mine: “Mr. Speaker, I was sent here not to make Government … Read more
