The shameless gall of the Current Marxist Administration

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 08:30 PM PDT

Here. I've always called a spade, a spade and there's no reason for me to change now. I'm amazed and appalled at the lack of honesty of the current administration.

Independence and the Right to Private Property

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 05:42 PM PDT

Joseph C. Phillips The right to private property was one of the central issues involved in the American Revolution. The colonists' cries of "taxation without representation" were but protests of what they saw as an unjust taking of private property. The Declaration of Independence charges the King of England with engaging in 10 acts of abuse, of which half are offenses against private property. Most significantly, the Declaration lists the pursuit of happiness as one of man's primary...

by Jim Kouri On the day following the holiday weekend on which Americans celebrated their nation's independence from a foreign country, Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department filed its lawsuit against the State of Arizona for daring to pass a law that protects innocent people from criminal aliens, terrorists and other malefactors who violate U.S. immigration laws and live in Arizona illegally.

America's Great Religious Document

Phyllis Schlafly Tea Parties and other spontaneous groups of activists are bringing a new appreciation of the U.S. Constitution to grassroots America, so this Fourth of July would be a good occasion to make sure that they also appreciate our other essential founding document, the Declaration of Independence.
