What We Need: A Shrinking Ship
The stark reality is that the United States is functionally bankrupt – the behemoth needs to shrink.
You Can Fool All the People … Yeah, Pretty Much All the Time
Observing our two party system in the United States, it strikes me that it’s much like professional wrestling – choreographed combat.
Trading freedom for safety’s illusion
Modern American’s seem to have lost sight of essential truths clear to the country’s founders more than 200 years ago.
The Founders Wanted Big Government? I Object.
Were the Framers “nationalists†who all along, despite their own words to the contrary, secretly intended to establish in the original Constitution a federal leviathan?
More Republican Pledge Hypocrisy
Republicans are such hypocrites that even while they preach smaller and less intrusive government they pass legislation to increase the size and scope of government.
What does it really mean?
While Republicans trumpet their victory, they would do well to ground themselves in an important reality. This election was not a ringing endorsement of the GOP. It was instead a repudiation of progressive ideology.
Election Results: A Boost to Big Government
There is no lesser of evils between the two major parties.
Sticking to the Rules
The Constitution provides a framework, the rulebook if you will, for government. Each clause, each principle, was carefully crafted for a specific reason.
Fear-Mongering from the Left and the Right
It’s time for both sides to start imagining what they fear most: What if government did nothing?
EduJobs Bill Further erodes Federalism
In typical spaghetti bowl approach the national government has found a way to tie three seemingly different areas into a single bill easily marketed as a way to help teachers and children across the country. Who would not want to help teachers and children?
Only Our State Legislatures Can Save Us Now!
When we look at the source of the problem, most every problem in America today stems from a failure to respect and understand sovereignty: national, state, local and individual.
Big Government is Wobbly
Big Government. Collectivism. Central authority. Corporatism, fascism, socialism, etc. Call it what you want, but it’s an overbearing master, operating in the name of we-know-best-and-we’ll-take-care-of-you type of government.
Gulf Crisis Exposes Failures of Centralized Power
After 100 years of ignoring this division of power, we are faced with a daunting task; but our country cannot continue to be the land of the free without decentralization.
We Were Warned
The celebration of our founders’ 1776 revolt against King George III and the English Parliament is over. Let’s reflect how the founders might judge today’s Americans and how today’s Americans might judge them.
Uncelebrating the 4th
Unfortunately, July 4th has become a day of deceit – the America that’s celebrated no longer exists.
Washington: Are they drunk, or just stoned?
It seems clear that Washington today is constitutionally stoned. Only a return to the constitutional balance of federalism — of strong, sovereign states that check the overreaching intrusions by the federal government — will restore the principles of liberty and prosperity that made this nation the light to the world.
Are We Seeing a Constitutional Awakening?
If there is anything good to say about Democrat control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, it’s that their extraordinarily brazen, heavy-handed acts have aroused a level of constitutional interest among the American people that has been dormant for far too long.
The American Pipe Dream
Turn your attention to your state house and demand your legislators draft nullification legislation, and begin the winning process of ignoring the federal government. It’s time the States entered the room.
What Happened to the Land of the Free?
America once was unique in all the history of the world. Its essence was having an abundance of something rarely found in other countries: freedom from government.
The Great Lie of the Nanny State: Government Works
Those who seek the protective hand of big brother pay a high price as they trust their quality of life to a largely self serving group of legislators. If the goal is a better quality of life, the solution is simple: more responsibility and less government involvement.
Big Government Solutions Don’t Work
Ron Paul: “A limited, constitutional government would not tempt special interests to buy the politicians who wield power.”
The Fed: Forcing Americans Into Indentured Servitude
In the end, it only took the money changers and the power brokers 81 years to undue the actions of Andrew Jackson and get their way again, by convincing the U. S. Congress and President Wilson that we needed another central bank, euphemistically called the Federal Reserve, which isn’t federal and it doesn’t have any reserves.
A Suggestion Manual or the Supreme Law of the Land?
Writes Ron Paul: “I continue to hope that enough Americans will realize that the true strength of our country doesn’t come from Washington, but rather the limitations placed on government in the Constitution. We must resolve to reverse the destructive course that we are on and then never again let big government problem-solving take over our lives and our country.”
Stimulus for Who?
by Rep Ron Paul This week the House is expected to pass an $825 billion economic stimulus package. In reality, this bill is just an escalation of a government-created economic mess.  As before, a sense of urgency and impending doom is being used to extract mountains of money from Congress with minimal debate. So much [...]
