Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun. — Patrick Henry

Mr. President, You Reap What You Sow

Bradlee Dean

As the Obama Administration is being uncovered for scandal after scandal, his plans are beginning to backfire. For example, the ever-increasing scandals at the Internal Revenue Service are now jeopardizing critical funding for the agency as it attempts to play a major role in the implementation of Obamacare. Obama was planning a major budget increase for the IRS, but now the feat is proving difficult as Congress sees that the IRS has proven to be untrustworthy. This proves the famous, unchangeable law of sowing and reaping.

Fixing a Broken Election System

Rick Manning

James Ware, a candidate for Controller in the state of California in 1978, was frustrated by the mail in voter registration system and decided to publicize the potential for abuse. Ware proceeded to register his cat to vote, and let the media in on the secret. State authorities proceeded to threaten Ware with prosecution due to his abuse of the system, but his point was made, anyone or anything could be registered to vote, and with mail in voting, there was no way for the government to prevent voter fraud.

Using Obama Phones to Buy Drugs

Bob Ellis

You know those ObamaPhones you, the American taxpayer, are paying for? You probably didn't know that you were also helping to pay for other people's drug habits as well. Yes, undercover video reveals some people are accepting the taxpayer-funded ObamaPhones and then selling them to get money for drugs. Isn't it great to be forced to be a "charitable" taxpayer?

Syria

Why Should America Get Involved in Syria?

Bob Ellis

Why is it that the only conflicts liberals want to get involved in are (1) ones in which there is no compelling American interest, and (2) usually on the side of the worst scumbag in the game? I spent 10 years in the military, some of those years under President Ronald Reagan. I've seen the good that American military force can do in the world. But I see no compelling American interest in play in Syria. I also see no clear "good guys" (both sides are scumbags who support terrorism and brutality).

Supreme Court ‘Produces Truly Strange Results’ in Arizona Decision

Gina Miller

There is no end to the America-killing insanity coming from our enemy elites in Washington, and on Monday, the Supreme Court stupidly shot down a provision of Arizona’s voting law—which was approved by a 2004 referendum of the state’s residents—that required people to prove they are citizens of the United States when registering to vote by mail.

Colorado Fires and the Fires to Come

David Pepe

Deadly wildfires continue to ravage Colorado Springs and have thus far destroyed 473 homes making this wild fire the most destructive fire in Colorado's history. The images of these wild fires are apocalyptic and grips the imagination. It is in such times like these... while these images are fresh in the minds of Americans that we want to exponentially magnify this event and focus our attention to the very soon coming Day of the Lord.

The Lost Art of Education

Ken Connor

There is a general consensus that there is a dumbing down of America underway. There is a growing recognition that our move away from the classical understanding of what constitutes a proper education – and the ends of that education – is largely responsible for the problems we're seeing in the classroom, the workforce, and the culture at large.

The woman verbally and physically attacked two ministry workers Elizabeth Ilse and Chase Schomberg.

Senate Rejects Amdt to Strengthen Border Security

Newswire

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued a statement today following the Senate’s rejection of his border security amendment (S. Amdt. 1197) to the immigration reform bill (S. 744). Thune’s amendment would have required construction of approximately 350 miles of reinforced, double-layer fencing, which was required by the immigration bill passed in 1996, as a trigger prior to Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status being granted.

You ‘Say’ It But How Do We ‘Really’ Know?

Carrie K. Hutchens

Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Jay Carney and President Obama all lied to us about Benghazi.   Holder has lied to Congress and has been held in contempt.  Lies have been told about many things, including the gathering of reporters' phone calls and the IRS targeting.  Yet, people in the government and their agencies are surprised that we are doubtful as to the truthfulness of their words?

Obama’s Stealth Strategy Against the Second Amendment

Woodrow Wilcox

Soon after President Obama and his allies lost key votes in the U.S. Senate on their push for more federal gun control laws, they started pushing for immigration reform. Part of the purpose of the immigration reform drive is a stealth strategy against the Second Amendment and its supporters. Obama hopes that adding millions of new voters from among the illegal aliens who get citizenship will overwhelm American voters and politicians who support the Second Amendment.

Rep. Noem: Promoting a Healthy Economy

Guest Author

This past month, the number of those unemployed in the United States increased by 110,000, bringing the total number of unemployed individuals to almost 12 million. However, in South Dakota, we’re doing something right. While the national unemployment rate is 7.6 percent, South Dakota’s continues to be substantially lower at 4.1 percent. Members of both parties need to work together to put forth real solutions that provide for a secure future.

British ‘Girl Scouts’ Jettison Commitment to God

Bob Ellis

The Boy Scouts of America recently decided they have greater loyalty to homosexual activists than to the God they pledge duty to and decided to allow homosexual boys to join the organization. Not to be left behind in the West's headlong plunge into immorality and insanity, the British equivalent of the Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, has decided to embrace narcissism over God.

Government Limited to Certain Enumerated Powers

Bob Ellis

I have written numerous times about numerous statements made by James Madison (and other founders) which indicate that our federal constitution is a "limited government" constitution that restricts the federal government from acting ONLY on subjects specifically authorized by Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Today I came across a new and powerful citation by one of the founders which reinforces this.

The Balance of Powers Act – How People Are Destroyed For Lack of Knowledge

Publius Huldah

Our own ignorance is destroying us. Mark Twain wrote about this in his autobiography, where people base their opinions on the opinions of others rather than the facts. That is what has been going on in our country for a very long time. Our “intellectuals” can’t think; our “scholars” parrot each other; the self-educated fixate on idiotic theories; no one studies original source writings; and The People jump on every bandwagon that rolls by.

The Founders: Right Then, Right Now

Bob Ellis

ObamaCare is an abomination to the American way of life in many ways. Many groups, organizations, companies and people across the nation are getting engaged in fighting this monstrosity. Will you stand with them--and with the founders who established our nation--and do everything within your power to resist and overthrow this socialist tyranny?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
