Obama, Levin wrong on war powers
The Constitution is the set of rules that governs the federal government. It’s authorized to exercise only those powers delegated to it, and nothing more. Obama would have us believe that the decision on whether or not to start a war rests on his decision alone. Rob Natelson, one of the nation’s leading experts on [...]

Mark Levin Wrong on War Powers
Yes, I’m as shocked as you are. Let’s go down the list of fallacies: “We’ve been involved in many military engagements; we’ve had very few declarations of war. And I’m including military engagements that were involved in by people you consider Founders of this nation. It’s because they’ve never, ever, required as a requisite—to defending this [...]
Obamacare Is Making Us Ill
cross-posted from the Nevada Tenth Amendment Center It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the Obamacare plan violates the Constitution. What most Americans don’t realize is that it violates it on so many levels. The average person can clearly see that the federal government does not have the power to force citizens to buy [...]

Good Morning American Citizen…
“Good Morning Dave…” This was the cold voice of a machine that went insane and killed everyone in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

He’s Not Your Commander In Chief, Dennis Miller!

GOP Failure; Again…
The Grand Old Party is anything but grand. The freshman republicans that were sent to congress with a mandate to cut, cut, and cut the budget until it bled are being stifled by the Republican Party. Hugh Hewitt would say it is a leadership failure, I say it is a party failure. You see, party [...]
End the War on Libya!
We finally did what John McCain, a Republican Party Presidential candidate, said that we should do in Libya and it was Barak Obama, the Democratic Party Presidential candidate and ultimate victor, who then did it—enforce a no-fly zone on another country who poised no military threat to the United States. Are there any real differences [...]
