Economic Overview

I’ve been reading a lot of books and magazines lately having to do with the magnitude of government spending and the possible outcomes if we don’t drastically cut spending and reevaluate our entitlement programs.  It’s hard though to share the quantity of  information in a quality way.  Below is a …

Common Enemy

If one studies the founding of this country, using original sources, there’s no doubt about the key role Christianity played.  In fact morals and religion are the foundation our country was built on.  John Adams stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly …

8.28 Restoring Honor

Post Image

August 28th, 2010 will hold a special place for me as a day I got to spend with tens of thousands 500,000 loyal Americans.  We prayed together, sang together,gave together, and became friends (quite literally).  I’m not sure how to summarize it, I’ve spent the last two days wondering how …

New Political Rule

Post Image

I think we should demand a new rule in politics, perhaps even a new subsection of the first amendment. Everyone should have the freedom of speech, but politicians may not use adjectives in official discourse.  You might say this is an absurd limitation of liberties, but I believe that it …

Battlefield of Ideas

Our founders believed that an educated electorate was a critical component of a republic, so much so that they debated if the people at that time were aware enough to govern themselves before signing the Declaration of Independence.

Articulating American Values

So What Can I Do?

Post Image

I think the question all of us are currently wrestling with is, “What can I do to make a difference in the direction our country is heading?” I’m not sure I have the answer to that, but here’s four things you can start with.

First and foremost, educate yourself. Read …

Second Verse, Not the Same As the First

Post Image

Who knew that the Star Spangled Banner had four verses?  An ex-marine at a Tea Party rally shared the fourth verse with the crowd.  Very cool!

Four Verse

Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued …

Take Heed Parents!

Wilder Publications, a small publishing house out of Virginia, has begun placing this warning label on reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers:

What a tragic view of some of the world’s most significant government documents.
