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.

Senator Thune Offers Immigration Reform With Backbone
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, has introduced several amendments designed to strengthen border security as part of the Immigration Reform Bill (S. 744). These amendments include requiring 700 miles of double-layered border fence, requiring the involvement of border-state governors, adding 500 new border agents, mandatory e-verify and more.
Does the NSA Record Your Phone Calls?
We were originally told the NSA was just recording phone call metadata. But now National Security Agency (NSA) head Gen. Keith Alexander seems to have admitted the NSA is recording the actual contents of our phone calls. It raises the question of how else these sweeping surveillance powers might be abused, posing not just threats to the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, but also to the First Amendment’s protection of the freedom of the press. This is too much power.

Productive discourse requires reason, authenticity and passion, and, in showing passion, one does not walk on eggshells worrying about how the self-appointed etiquette experts will perceive him. The voters can discern the heat of the moment from the cold, hard facts. The next great Republican leader will offer choice, contrast, charisma and principle, and if the water carriers for the D.C. status quo label him an “extremist,” hopefully he (or she) will wear that charge as the proverbial badge of honor.

The Left is amazingly predictable. Since they don’t have truth, facts, or science on their side, they must resort to lies, deception and distortion in order to advance their dark agenda. One of the favorite plays of liberals is the “race card.” Another is the “sex card.”

People are so vulnerable to the opinions of celebrities or to the publicly approved opinion makers. But fewer people actually speak and act on their own convictions. Now is the time for believers to know what they believe and speak and act accordingly. There is no legitimate place for political correctness in a democracy — especially a federal republic. We all need to get real and get back to the basics.

In this clip, you’ll see Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) extol the virtues of extending amnesty to lawbreakers. Yeah, we want citizens serving on our juries, serving in the military and voting who have demonstrated they don’t give a rip about our nation’s laws and national sovereignty. Sean Hannity interviews Ann Coulter on this topic, alluding to her latest column “If the GOP is this stupid, it deserves to die.” I have to agree. The only thing is, if the GOP dies, then so dies the last hope of saving America from a Leftist hell.

A border fence has worked well for Israel. Before the border fence was built and guarded, Hezbollah terrorists regularly crossed the border to bomb buses, schools, and wedding receptions in Israel. The border fence on Israel’s north border reduced the terrorism tremendously. If only American leaders would care enough about America and Americans to fund, build, and guard a border fence and screen every illegal alien.

The disputed ‘West Bank’, which is the ancient biblical heartland of Israel, is now the territory U.S. Secretary of State, John Forbes Kerry, just like his predecessor, Hillary Clinton, is pressuring Israel to give away to the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians. One wonders if Secretary Kerry knows that 91 years ago an original two-state solution was enacted in infamy.
