The Constitution is Dangerous to Incumbents
Writes Tim Shoemaker at the Campaign for Liberty: Watch this video clip from a town hall in Pete Stark’s district (CA-13). The crowd voiced their disapproval when he states: “The federal government can do most anything in this country…”
Servants or Masters?
I am an American. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. I mention that for a couple of reasons. Being a veteran has deeply magnified my appreciation to live in the greatest country in the world. As a veteran I did take an oath to serve and protect the Constitution of the greatest country in the [...]
Taking Tentherism seriously in Minnesota
A good article in the Minnesota post on how some politicians are jumping on the Tenther bandwagon – but aren’t the real deal. No surprise, of course, but nice to see this coverage. Here’s an excerpt: You don’t have to be crazy, stupid or evil to believe that over the years, federal power has grown [...]
Constitutional Platform or Just the Best that Money can Buy?
Let’s backup a few years. In 1992, people had had enough of the Republican agenda and Democrat Bill Clinton proved to be the candidate that made the most and best sounding promises that resulted in the Best President that money could buy. He also proved to be one of the most immoral presidents. Under Bill [...]
Until Men Are All Like Angels, We’ll Need the 10th Amendment

That’s the subject of an article in the Baltimore Sun last week. Here’s an excerpt: On Nov. 5, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, [...]
The Bread and Circus of Federal Elections
Scott Brown’s victory inspires confidence that no campaign is hopeless for a candidate willing to take a principled stand, maintain a simple and direct message, and reject the preconceptions of conventional wisdom. Such inspiration matters to those of us who struggle against the preconceptions that the Constitution doesn’t mean what the words of the document [...]
Liars, Thieves, Kidnappers, and Murderers
No, I am not referring to some mafia family, I am referring to your federal government. There are a lot of similarities between between those in charge in Washington DC, compared with the worst mafias in history. There are several enterprises that any mafia partakes in; drug trafficking, arms trafficking, loan sharking, control of contracting, [...]
A Thug in a Suit
Before this week, I had never heard Senator Charles Grassley speak – on anything. In the last few days, though, I’ve been sent a number of emails about him being a “strong 10th Amendment supporter.” Skeptical of any Senator in DC actually supporting the Constitution in a meaningful way, I browsed around YouTube and found [...]
