The Founders’ Warnings on Power and Liberty

December 28, 2024December 28, 2024 Michael Boldin

The Founders warned us – again and again – that power always expands, no matter who holds it. You can’t trust anyone with power, no matter how much you like them or what they’re doing with it, because that same power will eventually fall into the hands of someone determined to destroy your liberty. Their … Read more

How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

December 17, 2023 Op-Ed

Power-hungry, lawless and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them.

Election Laws Have Been Changed without Our Consent

October 23, 2023 Op-Ed

What is the role of the Supreme Court at the state or federal level? The U.S. Supreme Court’s official website says, “First, as the highest court in the land (or state), it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Second, due to its power of judicial review, it plays an important role in ensuring that each branch of government recognizes the limits of its own power.”

What, you haven’t already figured this out? How can you NOT be paying attention if you love your children? “Free speech… that extraordinary thing we have that Muslim countries don’t.”

An Amplification of What Steve Said, About Political Power

October 19, 2023 Skip

While Steve said a number of things that are absolutely true in his post “At Least One Person Was Not Happy to See Me at the NHGOP Leadership Summit,” this one is the nugget, IMHO, that should stick with you.

“We Created a Very Very Wealthy Elite Not Subject to the Consequences of Their Own Ideology.”

This comes to us from the inimitable Victor Davis Hanson (VDH), one of Conservatisim’s deep thinkers and observers of what Society is doing – and where it is heading.

Benjamin Franklin Speech Exposes the Inherent Danger of Power and Money

June 7, 2023 Op-Ed

On June 2, 1787, Benjamin Franklin delivered a speech at the Philadelphia Convention opposing a provision in the proposed Constitution to pay the president a salary. The speech reveals some important aspects of human nature that we should keep in mind today. Franklin submitted a change to the proposed Constitution stipulating that instead of paying … Read more

The Expansion of The Tyrannical Admininstrative State is In Overdrive – Can It Be Stopped?

April 12, 2023 Skip

The 1948 Administrative Powers Act gave the Executive Branch, 75 years down the line, the Powers to be its own Government. I hate Congress for passing it and, in doing so, making itself irrelevant. Congress can’t even do their primary jobs anymore.

Colin Booth – So Nice of Him To Show Us What a Democrat Scumbag He Is

March 1, 2023 Skip

What are the watchwords of Progressive / Democrats / other assorted Leftists? In their own Wokeness, they are all about “tolerance,” “inclusive | inclusiveness,” “affirmation,” and “community.” They bandy them about as if they believed them as the highest attributes in the world. If only they acted and spoke in concert with them. Unfortunately, like … Read more

Hide and Seek

December 23, 2022 Steve Earle

No wonder Freedom of Information laws have had to be created in the past decade or so. So many elected officials have been hiding so many underhanded dealings that once could be expected to be uncovered by real reporters. Sadly, they are now few and far between. They used to keep those officials thinking about … Read more

They Said What?

August 12, 2022 Steve Earle

Listening to the Left is like an exercise in gibberish nonsense. In one LTE in the Daily Sun, the writer claims anyone questioning their narrative on “global warming” is a denial of science. Nonsense! Global warming exists and has for ten thousand years. What we on the right believe is: that no way is the … Read more

Resistance is Crucial to the Advancement of Liberty

Patrick Henry told us that “government is no more than a choice among evils.”

Thomas Paine held the same view. In Common Sense, he wrote, “Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”

German Ag Minister want higher food prices for Germans Appreciate them Instapundit

What is He, the Food Czar?

January 2, 2022 Skip

I see this a lot at Treehugger. Heck, I’ve seen American Elites say this as well. “Well, you’d ENJOY it more if you had to pay more for it!” At least with the Eco-Socialists, they want you to eat LESS food (like Oezdemir) so you hurt GAIA (the planet) less – you selfish nothing of a person!

Notable Quote – You Know That Old Saw about “Those that cannot do, teach…”

December 22, 2021 Skip

And then there is Government: One of the reasons why government absorbs so much money and takes on ever-increasing powers is that it is home to so many people whose beliefs could not withstand the draconian tests of science, the marketplace or a scoreboard. What we the taxpayers are ultimately paying for is their insulation … Read more

Too often, Capitalism is portrayed by the Left as being a selfish economic philosophy. Greed figures heavily into their diatribes as well. After all, if Socialism and Communism is your goal, why would anyone want to tell the truth about the system you want destroyed?
