Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Americanism on Oct 24th, 2011
Nearly a year ago on of my favorite liberal commenters took issue with my use of this term. “America was founded on taking up arms for the Holy cause of Liberty.” That’s one way of looking at it. Another would be that a minority of English citizens of the American colonies, in refusing to bear [...]

Most people I know are concerned about UN Agenda 21, being slowly implemented in America as well around the world affecting every sovereign nation on the planet. We have heard bits and pieces of the creation of a New World Order that would rip America’s sovereignty from our grasp, never to be recaptured, but is [...]

The First Amendment. Everybody has an opinion and each person views the exact wording a bit different. The real issue is, what were the intentions of the Founders on this very important issue that has caused so much passionate discussion, since the Founders discussed this issue from June to September of 1789. I will quote [...]

It seems that whether we are arguing about state rights or our personal civil rights or liberties, this is certainly not a new issue in the United States. The fact that the preamble to the Constitution starts with, “We the people,” sets the tone of more to come as opposed to, “we the states.” Samuel [...]

This is Constitution Week. 214 years ago a miracle occurred in Philadelphia. The colonies were free and independent from Great Britain, but they were going nowhere. The French revolution showed that obtaining Freedom is only one phase. Functioning as free people is the next phase. Prospering as a free people is the third. The American [...]

No, I haven’t forgotten. Nor have I forgotten those who continue to risking their lives for others. Today, we do not honor just the fallen, but the living who sacrifice everyday so we remain a free and secure people, firefighters, police, servicemembers, and others . Let us not forget the clergy who lost their lives [...]

I am pleased to say that 10 years after 9/11 America is still free and unbowed. There have been many attempts against us since, but we are safer and more secure. We have thwarted their attempts because of the vigilance of the American people who refused to sit in fear and let people try to [...]

It has been ten years since that clear day in September. Much has happened since then. Some things are related to the attacks of 9/11 and some are a result of the attacks. The day after the attacks, we as a nation, were in shock. We were frightened by the unknown. We were [...]

I know you read them too. Obama has a secret plan to Islamize America by the end of his second term. Why isn’t John Boehner investigating the serial forger (birth certificate) in the White House? Obama (who doesn’t even want to jail terrorists) has a secret plan to round up conservatives into FEMA camps located [...]

Chairman Urquhart of the Sussex County GOP Committee released a statement today titled, “Why Ban The Faith That Gave Us Freedom?” The “radical transformers” seem bent on stamping out cherished and vital traditions. Having tried to expunge “Easter,” they’re now attacking prayer before Sussex County Council meetings. All that’s left is attempting to force the [...]

Whereas, The Sussex County Republican Party Executive Committee acknowledges that the First amendment prohibits Congress from passing any law establishing religion, the practice of reciting the Lords Prayer does not constitute establishment by Congress or by the Sussex County Council, from the founding of this nation prayer to the almighty has been the norm in [...]

Please read the first part for context. Now let us examine the political implications. I read that the change in demographics means the Republican Party will disappear or it will have to become like the Democrats. Is that true? The question for the Republican Party is how will it adjust? The nation is changing faster [...]

We are on the verge of losing our country, said a Professor who wanted my support for the Republican nomination for Congress against Mike Castle. How I asked? He said, through an invasion of immigrants. All that we built up is about to be lost. America is like Rome, about to fall to the barbarians [...]

Under the leadership of Mary Spicer, the Delaware Federation of Republican Women have taken the next step to impacting public policy. Based on a resolution within their own group, the Republican Women have recognized that those who defend our freedoms, including our right to vote, are being penalized by the late primary election in Delaware. The Brave [...]

As a Sussex County Committeeman, I attended Monday night’s GOP meeting that started in chaos and ended in chaos. Instead of parliamentary rule, a dictatorship emerged and seemingly established itself over the cries of dissension of the the body of republicans. People attempted to move resolutions to the floor and were disallowed and no reason [...]

The FCC has chosen December 21, to take its first step toward regulating the inner workings of the internet This step will bypass the Congress and defy a recent court ruling. I say if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. According to a Wall Street Journal article by Robert M McDowell, the Internet has been [...]

This is cute but even more amusing. I forgot the President wrote a children’s book. I guess he decided to remind us. No, nothing critical here, just amused that the President picked his own book to read to kids at a photo op. It is actually a quite worthy book. It is sort of a [...]

Reid blinks, but waits for another day. The Dream Act had 40 Democrats oppose it in the House and has several Democrats in the Senate led by Sen. Ben Nelson opposing it. Most Republicans oppose it as well. I do not think most Americans are immigration hardliners, but we do not believe in an open borders [...]

Liberal commentator Michael Kinsley takes the cake with U. S. Is Not Greatest Country Ever. He says in public what many on the progressive side fear to let into the wider arena. They believe like Mr. Kinsley that patriotism is criticizing one’s country. I like Mr. Kinsley, but like President Obama who says ’I guess I believe in American Exceptionalism like the Brits [...]

Every society is based upon certain majoritarian assumptions.Such assumptions in a free society are starting points not a straight jacket. While this is true of every society, some are threatened by the idea America too has such a starting point. The second part of this discussion is once you get beyond certain hot button [...]

There seems to be a major cultural disconnect between those who want a secular state and those who believe in traditional American values. When discussing the issue of returning to the governing principles of the Judeo Christian ethic some hear establishing some theocratic Christian state where Christians rule and others are tolerated. Christians hear the [...]

Radical Democrat Congressman Peter Stark-CA was asked a simple question by one of his constituents. What limits would remain on the federal government if Congress could get away with passing a bill as destructive of individual rights as Obamacare? Congressman Stark gave an answer which even shocked his constituency. “I think that there are very [...]

America is slipping into a religious apartheid. Jefferson’s wall of separation between church and state has quietly morphed into a separation of church and state, then into a separation of Christianity from public policy and education. It is contrary to the founder’s vision. The founders wanted to protect American religious expression in the public square [...]

The 234th anniversary of the founding of this country is something special. I love America as do all of you. I love the freedom to find one’s own path in faith, jobs, family, and fun. In many parts of the world, these areas are dictated by government. There is no class restriction in America. You can [...]

Kagan: “To be honest with you, I don’t have a view of what are natural rights independent of the Constitution.” Yes, she sounds mainstream enough for me. Let’s hurry up and confirm her. Who needs natural law?

I agree 100% with Bishop Nancy Pelosi, the archbishop of Capitol Hill. WWJD. It is too bad her voting record doesn’t seem to match at least as most Christians including her own church read in the Scriptures. My first reaction was wow the Democrats must really be in trouble this year. The party that said [...]

The International Red Cross is a non-partisan, non-sectarian, impartial humanitarian organization. They were established to bring humanitarian aid to all nations. There is some controversy about the fact that they taught first aid to the Taliban terrorists recently. First Aid training is not some secret that changes the war. It is available to everyone.
