First in the series “Discovering the Constitution”
The Bill of Rights – First Amendment
The first amendment guarantees our God given right to speak, worship, have an uncontrolled press, to assemble, and to request resolution to problems involving or caused by the government.
In our world it’s easy to say what you believe because of the first amendment; [...]

The Obama administration is enacting a Cloward and Piven plan to destroy the United States.  Part of it is to overwhelm the government, and illegal aliens are one tool in their arsenal.
Arizona is well within their rights under the U.S. Constitution.  The state (AZ) is not patrolling the border – they are enforcing the law [...]

Isaac Asimov wrote and used the Three Laws of Robotics as the foundation for the science fiction he wrote.  The three laws were adopted by other science fiction writers and have appeared throughout science fiction and are referenced in many other works.
Why do we start an opinion article with reference to a science fiction writer?  [...]

It’s Memorial Day and, as free citizens of the United States of America, we should be thinking of more than hamburgers, hotdogs, and NASCAR, but most of us won’t.  What a pity that the majority of us in the Land of the Free don’t have any idea why we are free.
The easy answer is that [...]

In a previous article we discussed making the federal government more honest, smaller, and more fiscally responsible. That was the first part of what we thought would be a two-part article.  We were wrong on that.  This is the second article, and there will be more.  Reversing the Progressive downhill slide our country has taken [...]

So here’s the deal – the health care bill(s) of 2009 were nothing more than a trough at which the pigs in Congress fed.  You need look no further than Joe Lieberman, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, and Arkansas’ own Blanche Lincoln to see what happened when Harry Reid put the right slop in the trough.  [...]

Before we start, let me say that this article is a very simplistic explanation of an exceptionally complex solution to non-responsive government.  It doesn’t take a Nobel Laureate to come to the conclusion that the government of the United States is broken.  In order to apply the fix I am advocating here will take years.  [...]

In his book, 1984, George Orwell wrote two lines that describe the strategy of progressives today:
“If all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.”
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
These two classic lines from Orwell describe how the [...]

Remember in the last installment we were talking about how Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama are two versions of the same poison.  It’s not exaggerating to define these two as poison if you believe the Constitution is the foundation on which this country is built.
You don’t remove or change the foundation of a house casually; [...]

Ever read about Woodrow Wilson?  Probably not.  Most people only know that he was president way back when.  Woodrow Wilson was the progressive’s progressive.  Many believe he was the father of the modern progressive movement in the United States.  Wilson was the first to advocate treating the Constitution as a “living” document, to be interpreted [...]
