Share on Facebook Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution says “Congress shall have power to … declare War”. If Donald goes to war, he will be in violation of the US Constitution. His advisors are trying to spin their illegal activity as a “preventive war.” Starting a war has never prevented one. We haven’t […]
A Tale of Two Amendments
Thursday, January 11th, 2018Share on Facebook How often have you heard people say, “We respect our teachers”? When the Teacher of the Year from Vermillion Parish Louisiana spoke her mind, however, we saw with our own eyes how meaningless this statement has become. On January 8th Deyshia Hargrave stood up to exercise her First Amendment rights during a […]
My Presidents vs Not My Presidents
Friday, August 18th, 2017Share on Facebook Since people have a hard time understanding honor, let me offer this. Not all men are perfect. We know this.

CSA Constitution
Tuesday, April 25th, 2017Share on Facebook The CSA Constitution left most of the USA Constitution intact, including the supremacy clause.

Promoting Responsible Gun Ownership
Sunday, October 11th, 2015Share on Facebook Rewriting the Second Amendment has made us all less safe, particularly Police Officers and Children. Guns should be treated like cars. Owners should be trained, licensed and have insurance, then we could have real responsible gun ownership. The authors of the Constitution understood their own language. In fact, they confronted many of […]
Lincoln won the election of 1860
Tuesday, July 28th, 2015Share on Facebook Why did the Slave states rebell? Abraham Lincoln won the election of 1860. What upset them about losing the election? What did Lincoln say? We know he didn’t do anything as President because the slave states seceded BEFORE he was inaugurated? What did they fear? Read Lincoln’s own words from 1859. We […]

Predicting Supreme Court Healthcare Decision
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012Share on Facebook “Glenn how is the Supreme Court going to rule on the healthcare Individual mandate? Any predictions? If they lose the mandate what happens to the plan? Obviously there are some good points to the plan but do they go back to the drawing board?” Awesome question. I’m not a lawyer but I […]
Revisiting “Who would Jesus Torture?”
Sunday, November 13th, 2011Share on Facebook Once again, the extremists were on display last night. One of the most disgusting moments was when the self proclaimed “Conservative Christian” audience cheered torture. Resuming torture will, however, betray both our history and our values. I wrote the following essay on April 28, 2009. My oldest son will enter the US […]
