Dr. Robert Owens
Dr. Robert Owens, one of our beloved authors featured here at American Clarion, was interviewed on Wallbuilders Live with David Barton and Rick Green.
The title of today’s broadcast was “If You Don’t Maintain Your Constitution, it Could Break Down” and it began with a humorous and educational example of a woman who was taken for a ride on her car repairs because she knew nothing about her car or how it was supposed to work.
The same is true with our United States Constitution and our God-given liberties: if we don’t know anything about them and how they are supposed to work, it’s easy for others to fool us and cheat us out of what is rightfully ours. Actually, this has been going on for decades, as Leftists have ignored what the Constitution clearly says about limits on government, and “found” things in the Constitution which simply don’t exist.
History professor and columnist Dr. Owens was on Wallbuilders Live to discuss this. You can find the podcast of today’s broadcast on the homepage at Wallbuilders Live or on the archives page.

The South Dakota Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles, wants to remind motor vehicle owners that the second phase of the non-commercial motor vehicle registration fee increase will go into effect on July 1, 2013.
There’s a reason George Orwell’s 1984 is a predominant theme in my new book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. Orwell understood what many Americans, caught up in their partisan flag-waving, are still struggling to come to terms with: that there is no such thing as a government organized for the good of the people—even the best intentions among those in government inevitably give way to the desire to maintain power and control at all costs.
Unintended consequences have a way of coming back to bite you, and the IRS targeting of conservative groups and contributors has done just that to the agenda driven hard left in the Obama Administration. A funny thing happened on the way to the 2014 Democrat victory celebration — Lois Lerner.
If Jesus commands us to “seek first the kingdom” then it is imperative that we know more precisely what this means. If the kingdom is as the Bible describes, the rule and reign of God come to earth through Jesus the King over all other kings then this reality carries enormous implications for how we are to live and act as faithful followers of Christ.
Our Founding Fathers struggled to protect property rights, human rights and interstate commerce. They defended freedom admirably. It's hard to believe they would both protest a tariff-created monopoly at the Boston Tea Party and then create one at the first congress.

"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 |
