I’d be willing to bet that the U.S. Constitution is not the #1 topic of your conversations today. It’s one of those things you take for granted, like the sunrise… it’s there supporting you, but you don’t think about it too much. What you don’t know is that the Constitution is very much the topic […]
There is a move afoot, brought to the mass of grassroots tea party participants by Mark Levin, whose book, “The Liberty Amendments,” is all the latest rage. Glenn Beck, who was NOT on board, has been convinced to take on the job of pushing the idea of a Constitutional Convention, but renamed “Convention of States.” […]
I have never been a class warfare kind of person. Honestly, the whole script of envy left me when I was very young, thanks to parents who taught me how much of a waste of time and emotion that was. Not to mention the Biblical lessons on coveting. I’m grateful for those lessons. Not to say I […]
Recently I was asked to help with an effort just north of Charlotte to stop yet another ludicrous project by transportation departments. Along the way, as I’ve researched this project, into my inbox has come the daily influx of travesties in all sectors of government meddling. There’s the marriage issue, the monetary policy issue, the latest healthcare […]
I have been going through government documents and unelected bureaucracies’ documents while researching policies being put in place locally. I say “being put in place” because these policies are obfuscated from the public and sold to the public with false premises and false predictions. One thing in particular stands out in all of these documents. The […]
A new product hits the market. You hear the hype. It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s an iPhone, or a Cuisinart food processor, or On Star for your car. Whatever the new invention idea is, it is supposed to make your life easier and take away all of your work and worries. At the risk of […]
Some days I think if I see and read the word “sustainable” one more time, I’m going to go into convulsions, throw up, and pass out. The word has become so ridiculous at this point you could substitute the word “rubbish” and get the same meaning. It has to be the most used and abused word that […]
There is a lot of talk right now about the Republican Party being fractured. From what I see around me, this is very true. The fracture I see is between three factions: progressives (RINOs), Christian conservatives, and libertarians. Let me see if I can wade through the mess. Social liberalism, a.k.a. libertarianism, is a strange animal. I […]
The idea behind keeping your moral integrity intact if you are in the military is that, if you don’t, you could be blackmailed into endangering the security of the United States. Right? So the FBI steps in on getting a sniff of General Petraeus’ extramarital affair some months ago and starts investigating him and his […]
Planners. You don’t elect them. You likely don’t even know them. They sit at desks in your city and county government buildings. They sit on bureaucratic boards you didn’t elect and you don’t see. Higher up in the echelons are the unelected planners and enforcers in Washington. They are appointed for their political ideology, which […]
