Well did Thomas Paine say, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

After Alexis de Tocqueville, a French Jurist, visited America in 1831, he wrote, “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there.  Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.  America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

This great nation was founded by those fleeing religious persecution from the tyrannical governments of Europe. Religious liberty was of so great importance to them and our Founding Fathers that they ensured our right to religious freedom as item one in our Bill of Rights. The First Amendment of our Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .” [Emphasis added.]

On 29 January, from the pulpits of every Catholic Parish in the United States, a letter was read (more…)

This clip is 10.5 Minutes but is very informative on the political spectrum and the form of our federal government.

Well, folks, here are some answers about the President’s social security number.
Rather interesting.

An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security Number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who (more…)

Article I. Section 8. of our Constitution has a clause which has become known as the “Commerce Clause.” This clause states that the Congress shall have power – “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” [Emphasis added.] The effect of this clause is a grant of power to the federal government by We the People to regulate inter-state commerce between or “among the several States” but NOT intra-state commerce since intra-state commerce is contained within the boundary of a single State. This coupled with the Tenth Amendment which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people” has been a powerful check on the federal government’s intrusion into We the People’s private and personal business affairs.

An understanding of the Commerce Clause is very important for We the People. This is particularly true in the case of healthcare. The Affordable Health Care for America Act (ObamaCare) is presently before the Supreme Court. Many believe, including twenty-six States Attorney Generals, that ObamaCare violates the Commerce Clause as it requires individual citizens to purchase health insurance. This writer agrees with the States Attorney Generals’ position as explained in the following.

Regulation of insurance has always been a States Right. Each of the several States have their own (more…)

By Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

(…it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!)

SO, USE IT!!!

Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:

1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put ‘PHOTO ID REQUIRED.’

2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the ‘For’ line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling (more…)

Each of us, as individuals and as a nation, from time to time find ourselves at a crossroad or “The Forks in the Road.” Clara Keniston, in her poem by that title, has left us some wisdom concerning this time in our lives or the life of our Constitutional Republic.

Oh, could I go back to the forks of the road -
Back over the long miles I have carried the load;
Back to the place where I had to decide,
By this sign or that my footsteps to guide.

Back to the sorrow, back to the care,
Back to the place where the future was fair.
Oh, were I there now, decision to make,
My Father in Heaven, which road would I take?

We the People, individually and as a nation, are at such a junction in our history. We are eleven months away from the most important election this nation has ever seen. An election that will determine (more…)

We, as a nation, are once again in the throws of a Presidential election. In just eleven months we will have to decide which direction we want our Constitutional Republic to go. The choice this election cycle is clearly one of the most, if not the most, critical We the People have had to make in our 225 years as a Constitutional Republic. The question of this election is nothing more nor less than do We the People want to remain a Constitutional Republic or do we want to move further to the Left toward Totalitarianism, remain a Republic just right of center,  or further to the Right toward Anarchy.

There are those on the Left, the Socialist-DINOs and the Progressives of both parties, who clearly want us to continue our march toward a totalitarian Welfare Socialist State with those in power forming an oligarchy while We the People become servants [slaves] dependent on the federal government. There are those on the Right, Libertarians and the extreme far-right, who clearly want us to move toward Anarchy with absolute freedom without restriction. Correct thinking Americans, including Christian conservatives, would prefer that we have Constitutional Restoration where the federal government is the servant and We the People are the rulers. This is the position that our Founding Fathers gave to us along the continuum between Totalitarianism and Anarchy. A position often referred to as “just right of center.”

There are many Americans, including Christian conservatives, who seem to agree that our Constitutional Republic is infected (more…)

Many people make resolutions to start the year, but I think a list of things that must be done to protect and preserve the Republic should be tallied.

1. President Obama must be defeated in 2012 and the obstructionist Democratic Party must lose power in the Senate to ensure both houses of Congress will be Republican and in a position to initiate real change.

2. The Environmental Protection Agency must be reined in with increased Congressional oversight and (more…)

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it.. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, (more…)
