The Real, Forgotten Enforcement Mechanism of the Constitution

Gizmodo Should Have Stayed with Gizmos and Techie Stuff

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.

Making the Government Live By the Same Rules as Everyone Else

Skip

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?

Doubtful At Best

Jim Bowman
