A Raging Bull

A Raging Bull

We are talking about standing firm against unwarranted, unconstitutional and illegal acts.


Sorry fed, you got nuttin’

Sorry fed, you got nuttin'

In and of itself, the federal government possesses no power.


You Can Fool All the People … Yeah, Pretty Much All the Time

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.


The Constitution and Liberty

The Constitution and Liberty

Unless we turn things around, we can no longer claim to be the Constitutional Republic that our founders gave to us and that generations of proud Americans fought to protect.


State Sovereignty: A Tool to Protect Freedom

State Sovereignty: A Tool to Protect Freedom

The Founders knew that if permitted, the federal government would transgress the limits of the constitution, and, as Thomas Jefferson remarked, “[annihilate] the state governments and erect upon their ruins a general consolidated government.”


Absolute Power Corrupts. Absolutely.

Absolute Power Corrupts. Absolutely.

The solution to our problem is not to find the right people and send them to Washington. By all means, vote the bums out, but if that is the end of it, the new crop of bums (from both parties) will forget their limited government rhetoric just as surely as their predecessors did.


Gulf Crisis Exposes Failures of Centralized Power

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.


When the Buck Stops with the President, People Lose

Every president between Truman and Obama have told the people the President is where the buck stops when it comes to most anything. They’re wrong.


Free and Total Reign Over the States?

Relying on the Supreme Court to be an impartial player in intergovernmental disputes is like relying on your ex’s Mother to be your mediator in your divorce settlement.


Endless Power and the Death of Freedom

Endless Power and the Death of Freedom

The word “commerce” has wrongly been interpreted by the Supreme Court to cover every person that moves.


The Problem Will Never Fix the Problem

The Problem Will Never Fix the Problem

A Call from “We the People” to All State Representatives. Put up, or get out.


Washington: Are they drunk, or just stoned?

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.


Our Goal is Federalism, not “States’ Rights”

Freedom is not outdated, federal government is an agreement among the people of different sovereign states, the 10th Amendment has never been repealed, and virtue is still necessary for securing our posterity’s future rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.


Our Dead Constitution

Our Dead Constitution

Our Constitution is dead. Rigor mortis set in a long time ago. Peculiar enough, many Americans who claim to love our constitution believe it is alive and well with hot red blood running through its vein. Plainly put: they are naïve, deceived or ignorant.


It’s Not Just Obama, It’s the System

It's Not Just Obama, It's the System

A new President would no more change the form and system of the federal government than would pumping trillions of dollars of tax payer monies create a stable and sound economic system in America


Presidential Tyranny 2.0: Executive Power as the Enemy of Freedom

Presidential Tyranny 2.0: Executive Power as the Enemy of Freedom

Presidential power has been on a pathway of expansion beyond what the Constitution outlined, and what a government of, by, and for the people requires, since George Washington was president.


A Suggestion Manual or the Supreme Law of the Land?

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.”


Stealth Expansion of Government Power

We’re experiencing a fundamental shift in national priorities – in the form of a rapid and pervasive expansion of government power over the private sector of the economy.


Line in the Stand: The State Sovereignty Movement

Line in the Stand: The State Sovereignty Movement

An observer of history and these current events cannot help but draw strikingly similar comparisons to America’s political struggles during the early to mid-1800s, where there was a serious threat to our original form of constitutional government by the Centralists of that day.


The American Revolution Revisted

The American Revolution Revisted

The Sovereigns of each State have never ceded to the Federal government any power not granted to it by the US Constitution


The New King George

The New King George

Welcome to 21st century America – where federal politics is largely centered on a single question: How much can the stupid and greedy plunder from their hardworking, productive neighbors?


Fascist Temptations

Fascist Temptations

I know the temptation to seek help from the all-powerful federal government, but as citizens in a supposedly free society, we must reject these tactics. Although we may achieve success via these means, such success will only be temporary.


Against All Enemies

If we truly want to strengthen freedom and regain what we have already lost, we will pledge ourselves to defending the Constitution. We cannot support our Constitution, however, unless we face the fact that it is being continually ignored and betrayed. It is time that we give some serious thought to the Constitution.


Only the States can stop the Feds now

by Rich Hand It is completely out of control in Washington DC. We have a bunch of bumbling idiots in charge of the treasury and the country’s future. Talk of trillion dollar deficits, cap and trade, bailouts, tax welfare to those that don’t pay, taking over our healthcare and economy; like in the Meatloaf song [...]
