  posted in Big Gov & Columns & End of the American Dream & Executive & Featured & Voices

  Why does the Obama administration treat our military veterans like human garbage?

  posted in Big Gov & Civil Liberties & Coercion & The Constitution

  I recently visited the new Ralph Carr Colorado Judicial Center—the huge and incredibly expensive building complex that now houses the Colorado Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

  Listeners to my Constitution Radio program on KCAA 1050 AM on Saturdays at 2:00 Pacific often email me to ask questions about things I say on the show.  One of the most common questions is my reference to myself as a Classical Centrist. What is a Classical Centrist? To understand my self-proclaimed political designation, one [...]

• Why do our elected officials so often act like children? - 26 Feb 2013
  posted in Big Gov & Columns

  The simple answer is because they can. The people permit it. Unfortunately, elected children do control our government. No wonder we have the mess we have.

• The President’s Miracle-Gro Government - 13 Feb 2013
  posted in Columns & Executive

  Of course he believes that we have a spending problem, President Obama assured us, immediately before a State of the Union address in which he called for — you guessed it — more spending. Like Saint Augustine praying “Lord grant me chastity and continence … but not yet,” President Obama paid lip service to the [...]

Similar bills have been introduced in other states after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.

  As Barack Obama begins his second term in office, trust in the federal government remains mired near a historic low, while frustration with government remains high.

  Today, January 21, 2013 Barack Obama was sworn in for his second time on not only Abraham Lincoln’s Bible but also quite appropriately on Martin Luther King’s Bible. As usual, haters of our Republic under God like the American Civil Liberties Union, Freedom From Religion Foundation et.al are having a nuclear meltdown as they decry [...]
