The U.S. Supreme Court Disasters
Many people are looking at the recent Supreme Court decisions about ObamaCare and same-sex marriage in terms of whether they think these are good or bad policies. That is certainly a legitimate concern, for both those who favor those policies and those who oppose them. But there is a deeper and more long-lasting impact of…

The U.S. Supreme Court Undermines the Republic
The whole idea behind lifetime appointments to the highest court in the land is to provide justices with insulation from political pressure. They are perfectly positioned to resist the executive, the legislature, the news media and elite opinion to the point where they are free to issue rulings upholding the rule of law. At least…

Gun Control, Big Box Stores & National History, The Dots Don’t Connect
Each 2nd Amendment Patriots meeting we’ll be covering some ground on recent developments in our world in these past few weeks. I’ll just make an observation in this letter of one incident.

Quo Vadis, America?
“Natural law — God’s law — will always trump common law,” said Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a Christian leader in her own right, “God will have the final word in this matter.” But, for now, Justice Anthony Kennedy has the final word. Same-sex marriage is the law of the…

Gay Marriage Ruling Paves The Way for Concealed Carry National Reciprocity
When the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that every state must recognize same sex marriages, they used a basis for judgement that will not easily stop at same sex marriage. In fact, it is a basis for judgement that should offer itself to national reciprocity of concealed carry permits and permit holders.…

New Trade Deal Threatens The Continued Existence Of Gun Rights & U.S. Constitution
The events of the last two weeks will be remembered by Americans as the day Congress sold America down the river. Over sixty members of the U.S. Senate, along with the House of Representatives, voted to give President Obama carte blanche “fast track authority” to enter into trade agreements with foreign nations without need to…

WASHINGTON POST: Forget The Confederate Flag, Focus on Gun Control
On Friday, The Washington Post ran a column asking readers to “look away from the Confederate flag” and look instead at the gun alleged Charleston attacker Dylann Roof held in his hand.

Islamic Terrorist Attack: Why is Anyone Surprised?
The Beat Goes On! At a swanky beachside resort in Sousse, Tunisia, a place most Americans have never heard of, but popular with German, English, Irish, French, and other Western European vacationers, yet another major, but unsophisticated, Islamic terrorist attack took place recently. And, it was just one of several that made headlines within a…

The Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that in the first quarter of 2015 the U.S. economy declined at a 0.7 percent annual rate. Why is it taking the economy so long to recover?

Murder Rates: Why Comparing The U.S. Only To Other Developed Countries Is Deceitful
My recent article “Islands, Churches, and Guns” was met with a ridiculous criticism that gun rights advocates have left unrefuted for far too long. Namely, the idea that it’s only legitimate to compare the US murder rate to that of other developed countries. When one does compare the US to that cherry picked group the…

[WATCH] Which is Worse, The Confederate Flag or Blacks in Baltimore?
Who and/or what has done more damage? The Confederate Flag or the blacks who destroyed Baltimore, MD and Ferguson, MO.? Why not throw out Obama and Congress?

Sarah Palin Calls For Supreme Court Impeachment/Snubbed By FOX News
In an attempt to stir the rage that filled many conservatives, last week, Sarah Palin made an announcement calling for the impeachment of the Supreme Court justices who ruled in support of gay marriage.

Obama’s “N-Word” Moment Was Him Looking in Mirror
My late grandmother explained to me that, “a nigger was a lowdown, dirty, dishonest person you could not trust” and skin color had nothing to do with it. With that thought in mind I cannot point to two more “lowdown, dirty, dishonest persons” than the Obamas. Using the Ku Klux Klan as the standard for…
