It’s pretty obvious at this point that our country is headed in the wrong direction. And with a little perspective, it’s just as obvious why. Over the last few decades, in many ways we have actually allowed our politicians to reverse the Constitution. Take a look: We no longer focus on what government can’t do [...]
The Republican Party must reclaim its mantle as the party that expands freedom. The GOP has a deep history of promoting liberty, both at home and abroad, and it must draw on this legacy to gain moral strength and clarity of vision. The party should thus distinguish itself from the progressive Democrat Party if it [...]
What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating of all cares and power into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or the aristocrats of a Venetian senate.” Thomas Jefferson It’s just a fact that [...]
“[T]he end of law is, not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.” John Locke, The Second Treatise of Government The purpose of making laws isn’t to prevent people from doing something, it’s to maximize their freedom.

But confinement of the person by secretly hurrying him to [jail], where his sufferings are [...]
A quiet Sunday morning in paradise. Balmy and breezy. The entire world seemed so far away; all the anguish, the uncertainty, the conflict. But here, here it is different. Deep blue ocean in every direction. There’s no depression here, no soup lines, no stock market crashes, just….. peace. The generation we have come to know [...]
Whether he knows it or not, on Tuesday President Obama is going to make the case for enslaving Justin Bieber. He is headed to Osawatomie, Kansas in a desperate attempt to recreate Teddy Roosevelt’s 1910 New Nationalism speech – in which Roosevelt put forward the same Bieber-enslaving arguments. In that speech, Roosevelt makes the point [...]
Someone needs to let Sen. Mary Landrieu know that the commercials for Southwest are supposed to be funny because apparently she didn’t get the joke. She thinks we honestly need a bag police: Airlines would no longer be allowed to charge passengers for their first checked bag under a bill being introduced in Congress ahead [...]

By proclamations of pioneers, framers and Presidents long since past, we have consecrated this final Thursday of November to be a day that we give thanks for all of the persons and things we hold dear to our hearts.

Occupy Wall Street can’t seem to get it’s message unified, even among themselves, but I think that in the minds of many of the more disillusioned participants is a vague vision.
