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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
The U.S. Constitution is a Contract, Not a Rule Book
October 1st, 2012
Yet another email attack intended to confuse what people think about the United States Constitution has hit the web. The claim is that the idea the U.S. Constitution is a contract is a myth. The message further asserts that the Constitution, rather than being a contract, is a rule book, a set of instructions if you may, given by a bunch of delegates in 1787 to a soon-to-exist federal government.
The argument has been presented to serve as a distraction. The aim by the originators of this Read more [...]

September 9th, 2012
September 6, 2012 - Kerry Washington at the Democrat National Convention: "Today, there are people out there trying to take away rights that our mothers, our grandmothers, and our great-grandmothers fought for. Rights that we fought for. Our right to vote. Our right to choose. Our right to affordable quality education. Equal pay. Access to health care. We the people cannot let that happen."

Trouble with Treaties
July 30th, 2012
The second clause of Article VI. of the United States Constitution reads: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land.
The Obama administration is poised to sign a number of draconian treaties offered by the international leftists of the United Nations. There is a concern because of the unconstitutional nature of these Read more [...]
California’s War Over Red-Light Cameras
July 23rd, 2012
In California the war over Red Light Cameras at traffic intersections is being waged city by city, to the point that lawsuits are emerging in an attempt to stop the citizens from petitioning their local governments for a redress of grievances. Cities like Murrieta claim the cameras reduce accidents, and provides much needed revenue for the city. The real interests lie in the private companies that maintain the camera systems, who are willing to do anything to protect their profit source, including Read more [...]
