Until Men Are All Like Angels, We’ll Need the 10th Amendment
Here’s a great article from last week’s Houston Chronicle, reminding us all why we need a government in the first place. Men, no matter how noble today, can be corrupted in the snake pit known as Washington DC. We can even look to FDR himself in this respect. While governor of New York, Roosevelt touted [...]
Heading for a Cliff
Catastrophe is dead ahead, and it is clear to see – so why are we not stepping on the brakes? I think the November election will be a small “pump” of the brake but will that be enough? Our kid’s future is being spent on bailing out unionized, entitled Greek workers, who need to cut [...]
The Bondage of Good Intentions
Editor’s note: I was copied on an e-mail exchange discussing spending and the national debt. I didn’t know many of the people on the cc’ list, so I didn’t want to push my opinion into their inboxes. However, I do think this is an important topic, so I thought I would post my thoughts here. [...]
Guard the Constitution
“Guard the Constitution” monologue (by Joshua Lyons) on the Jan. 16, 2010 “The Forgotten Men” radio show along with commentary by Mark Kreslins. For the transcript of the Monologue, contact us at ForgottenMen.com. Excerpt: its important to understand the nature of how we have gotten here. We as a people, our educational system, the court [...]
Obama Bashing and Bigger Fish to Fry
Can we finally agree that in general, “Obama” isn’t at issue and we could honestly care less who he is or what he supposedly represents, or where he was born for that matter. I’m honestly disgusted and more than tired of the name calling in response to opposition to democratic ideas. What are you people [...]
Let Them Eat Health Care
Newsflash: Congressional Democrats don’t care what you think! In fact, they don’t even care what members of their own party think. From a report on USNews.com Democratic Leaders Plan Secret Health Reform Deliberations Despite their claims to the contrary, the way that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have handled the [...]
The Latest Edict from our “Supreme” Rulers
Writes Lew Rockwell: The Anti-Federalists predicted that a “Supreme” Court would help pave the way towards tyranny. Now the Nine Creeps have agreed with the Dictator that if he or any of his army of highly paid dependents declares a person to be a suspected enemy combatant (i.e., an enemy of the people), anything can [...]
Homeland Security or Homeland Enslavement?
For the last 8 years, the American people have been told they must sacrifice certain liberties in order that the federal government might protect them. And for the most part, the American people have been happy to accommodate this incessant intrusion into their personal liberties.
Conservative or Liberal: Pick Your Poison
Human nature and history teach us that political labels are used to influence society to accomplish a certain political end. Many times, words used to describe original principles are somehow conquered or hijacked and then proclaimed to be a part of those original principles, but are realistically far from them. As I was growing up, [...]
Decentralizing Our Federal Government – The Only Viable Solution
As we observe the ignoble acts of the Senate this past weekend and our frustrations grow as we see an ever expanding central government devour more liberty and property, it’s time to state the obvious…we must force Washington DC to decentralize. The 9th and 10th Amendments will be our tool. Implicit in the Declaration and [...]
American Guinea Pigs
Why is it that federal government terrorism always gets brushed aside in the media? Horrifically, the GAO found that the DOD and other agencies were involved with terrorism against Americans from 1940-1970s. I do not recall the media ever speaking of this back in the 90s. The report was done in 1994, so I am [...]
Cat Out Of The Bag?
I can’t recall how many times I’ve written or talked about the Healthcare legislation not being about healthcare. It is interesting that a recent Wall Street Journal article validates this notion. The author of the article covered a piece on the New Yorker’s website from the week before by John Cassidy.
Constitutional Contempt
Listening to the Glenn Beck show last week, I was struck by an exchange between Glenn and one of his co-hosts. They were discussing the Monica Lewinsky debacle of the late nineties and paraphrased the national dialog at the time as something like this: Republicans: President Clinton had an affair in the Oval Office. Democrats: [...]
Freedom to Withdraw Your Consent
A tyranny begins when power is unchecked. The federal government is becoming more tyrannical everyday that the people and the states don’t defend their rights. The shift has occurred because the check on federal power, largely responsible by state governments; has been trampled, bribed, threatened, or manipulated by those in power. One should never forget [...]
