There was a real divide in the Presidential debate over the Patriot Act. Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman, and Herman Cain understand that we need reform. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry do not agree. Some say expand it. Read this and tell me there is no problem. How about this account of the abuse [...]

Rep. Job Killer aka Kowalko has decided that a Delawarean sharing her concerns about local issues is spam. He asked Teresa Garcia of the 9/12 Delaware Patriots to take him off her “list”. What list was it? Was it advertisement? Was it an organizational news letter? No it was an issue letter expressing her concern [...]

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 [...]
Back in September, one of our authors posted a parody of the controversial attackwatch website sponsored by the current administration. You can view it here. Some people considered it thought provoking, others considered funny, and still others considered it offensive and inappropriate. Everyone had their say. One person threatened to report it–which sort of proved [...]

You may know about the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death unless he recants his Christian faith. The Supreme Leader of Iran is now getting involved. Petitions are being sent. If you want to know more about this situation, read this column by Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice [...]

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 [...]

The latest fad in government is implementing a social media policy. Kent County tried to implement a ridiculously broad policy, I am pleased to say that I gave advise against it when asked. It was amended to protect off the job freedom of speech. Capital School district had no such qualms. Now the City [...]

Blocking social media would put Britain in the same camp as China, Libya, or Egypt. Britain is better than this. There are better ways. Use it to get a head start on the riots and find the leadership. Let’s hope the PM does not lower the bar for free societies.

“Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.” – Calvin Coolidge
Previously a lower court had ruled in favor of the Indian River School district. Now this new ruling by the 3rd Circuit court of appeals is bad news for not only IR but Sussex county as it overturns a precedent which favored the County. The good news is that the right of a legislative body to [...]

Two beams formed a cross and were about the only thing left standing after the 9/11 attacks. It almost as if Christ himself was honoring the Priests who gave their lives comforting, aiding, and blessing the injured and dying. It is part of the story that some radical godless bullies do not want told. The [...]

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 [...]

What a time to remember and rededicate ourselves to being a free people. We are celebrating Freedom Month, which is highlighted by the passage of the elegant Declaration of Independence. It laid out not only the case of grievances against Great Britain, but for Human Rights in general. We hold these truths to be self-evident, [...]

S. 978 in the U. S. Senate needs immediate opposition. The bill by Klobuchar, Cornyn, and our own Coons would create another federal felony. It would criminalize embedding videos deemed copyright infringement by redefining public performance to include 10 views in 180 days. The music industry would rue the day that such legislation passes because one [...]

What Delawareans don’t know will hurt them. Send a friend to project tattletale.
I believe that we are in an exciting era globally. Whether in Egypt or Delaware, the individual is becoming more intent on controlling his or her life. We are no longer in the era of big government, big business, big labor, and big religion. We are in the era of individual sovereignty. It is evidenced by [...]
Constitutional Republicans and Liberal Democrats joined to block a fast track of the Patriot Act extention in a sign of the emerging fidelity to the Constitution, it was the first vote where more than one Republican voted against their leadership this year. The House leadership kept the vote open an extra 15 minutes to no avail. It [...]

The New York Times July 3, 2008 The story of the tiny St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and its efforts to rebuild after the collapse of the World Trade Center is one of well-intentioned promises that led to endless negotiations, design disputes, delays and mounting costs. It is, in other words, a microcosm of 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 [...]

The FTC is floating a proposal which would wave anti-trust provisions and allow traditional media outlets to collude to set prices on content referred. Some people are referring to this as the Drudge Tax, but in reality it would have the potential to affect bloggers, Independent news clearing house sites, and everyone else not part of [...]

My understanding of the first amendment is that it primarily focused on protecting political and religious speech. Solicitor General Kagan is suppose to be a big speech advocate. She supported 2 Live Crew in a battle to limit obscenity in a landmark case. She considered it one of her most important contributions. She fought free [...]

AG Eric Holder wants legislation to give him more latitude in issuing Miranda warnings for International Terrorism. Will then nearly 50 year battle to reign in the Miranda ruling launched by Senator Strom Thurmond be won by the Obama Justice Department? Wouldn’t an easier solution be to let intelligence officials do their questioning then give [...]

The Maryland Senate passed Senate Bill 411, which is a 411 to criminals that says, for your information, Maryland will no longer allow you to use the civil law suit to persecute people who defend themselves against you.

Free speech means something different in Canada, Ann Coulter was told. A mob blocked her from entering a debate at the University of Ottawa. Ann is outrageous, provocative, and combative. Sometimes that is the best way to get attention and make a point. Sometimes it is the worst way. Freedom lets you discover which it [...]
