    Christians praying for Mandela’s recovery

    I suggest that you read Into the Cannibal's Pot by Ilana Mercer, a native South African. The evil of Mandela's legacy will become obvious.

    Article: Is The Constitution Outdated?

    The Vatican's power nor the Church's power, and those are two very different things, the Vatican being a state and the Church being, well, the Church, was never remotely that of the federal government, never. That is Enlightenment and Protestant propaganda. For the record, I am not Roman...

    Article: Is The Constitution Outdated?

    John C. Calhoun, who remains arguably the best political philosopher America has been privileged to have, has said, and I paraphrase, that societies are an product of Providence; but constitutions are wrought by the minds and the hands of men; thus, constitutions are not something to be seen as...

    Article: Is The Constitution Outdated?

    The vote is the least effective way to check politicians; that is why they play it up; they want you to think that it can stop them. The Barons understood the elements which would stop a tyrannical king. Not found among them was the "vote."

    Iran cuts off oil exports to France!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

    Iran is astutely denying oil to those European countries which import the least from them. It is the European countries of the Mediterranean, namely Greece and Italy, which import the most oil from Iran.

    Explanation of Rand Paul's Vote For Iran Sanctions

    Sanctions are in and of themselves an act of war, an intrusion into the internal affairs of a country. I am disappointed in Dr. Rand Paul and will be watching him like a hawk watching a chicken in his future votes.

    Chris Christie on Friday vetoed a bill that would allow same-sex couples to wed

    Of course, people of the same gender cannot marry. Now, they can pressure a state to give a license which bears the title "marriage" and like two mice in a cookie jar, live in the cookie jar as if they were cookies, said mice having even perhaps pressured the Keebler elves into giving them a...

    Will the Federal Government Confiscate your Gold and Silver

    Of course the general government, the Leviathan, the Hobbesian state will confiscate our specie - gold and silver. Modern man does not like to live within limitations. The constructs of modern man, particularly the abstract corporation with a monopoly on coercion and with the ability to define...
