Nullification Against Gun Control
March 22nd, 2013
"Shall not be infringed." Those words are an order to the federal government. The central government shall not infringe, in any way, against the fundamental right of keeping and bearing arms. The Second Amendment is clear. For the purpose of having a militia that is in good order so that it may protect the States against tyranny, be it foreign, or domestic, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
When breaking down the language of the Second Amendment, one Read more [...]
Sarah Palin’s Defiance
March 18th, 2013
When Sarah Palin was the governor of the State of Alaska, before she was asked to be McCain's running mate, she was among the most popular governors in the country. Her style, and adherence to strict conservative principles, were among the reasons I predicted she would be the Vice Presidential candidate in the 2008 Election.
During those early days of the campaign, when eight or ten candidates remained in the race, there were others that pushed for Sarah Palin to be chosen as the candidate Read more [...]
Classical Centrist
March 4th, 2013
By Douglas V. Gibbs
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 must understand the political spectrum we use here in the United States, and the political climate we seem to find ourselves in.
In France, during Read more [...]
Obama’s Dr. Ben Carson Problem
February 24th, 2013
The Democrat Party has hoisted Barack Obama up as some kind of liberal, god-like, superhero. Barry has been very happy to fill the britches of such a false god, but as some kind of anti-hero that, armed with his arrogance, can destroy federal budgets with a single bound. To the horror of Republicans, even no-nos like gun control and stomping all over freedom of religion has proven to be areas this president is willing go after. Like every cloud-skipping false-prophet, however, Barry Sotero Read more [...]
Debt Ceiling and the 14th Amendment
January 15th, 2013
In June of 2012, Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that the 14th Amendment makes the federal Debt Limit unconstitutional. According to the House Democrat Leader, Barack Obama could avoid the whole debt-ceiling showdown with Republicans by simply invoking the "obscure constitutional provision" in the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. According to Pelosi, the statutory borrowing limit is inconsistent with Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, which states that "the validity of the public debt of Read more [...]
Wrong Side of History, Right Side of Reality
January 6th, 2013
There is an old saying: "History is written by the winners." That is not always necessarily so. History is often written by the well funded, the most devious, and in today's society, whoever controls media and the education system. History, however, can be discovered if one is willing to look, and for America, our history has always flowed through the United States Constitution.
An old liberal friend, who I have battled with Online for years upon years, told me recently that he believes Read more [...]
Let’s Not Give Up On The Constitution
January 4th, 2013
As my nephew reviewed his history book, he became excited when he noticed an entire chapter of the text book was dedicated to the United States Constitution. Like his Uncle Doug, Branden loves history, and has studied extensively the various Founding Fathers, and the Constitutional Convention. The opportunity to discuss the law of the land in class was more than he ever expected. Branden waited patiently through the school year as the class marched through the textbook, chapter by chapter. Read more [...]
Newtown, CT: Slaughter of Innocents, and the Culture of Death
December 15th, 2012
A gunman in Newtown, Connecticut shot his mother, then went to a school where it is believed she was once a teacher, and killed twenty young children, and six adults. My God, the evil that exists in this world is staggering. My prayers go out to those parents who will be closing the doors of their children's bedrooms forever, putting away the car seats that the child will never sit in again, and grieve for the loss of their child - a horrible process most of us will never understand, or have Read more [...]
The Light of America During the Storms of a Dark World
December 4th, 2012
Life is full of storms, and it is those storms that can make us stronger, and help us in the building of our character - if we choose. We choose how to respond to storms. We can grow, or become darker. Society, it seems, has chosen darkness.
As our sin-darkened world employs the same kind of activities that ultimately brought down past civilizations, we are reminded that the Founding Fathers determined that only a value driven people could keep America from going the way of Ancient Greece, Read more [...]
