Republic Rules - The U.S.A. is a great representative republic.

An ongoing discussion of how it works… and why it works.

Not Democrat, not Republican - Constitutional Conservative

The Melting Pot

Continuing the discussion of yesterday…
 Just as an amalgam of metals becomes a stronger combined material than any of the individual components (which surrender some of their own unique chemical properties in the process),  the collective PEOPLE of our country… the “melting pot”… is stronger by becoming “one”.  It should be obvious, then, that WE cannot […]

A Right Almost Lost

This past week, the Supreme Court affirmed our right to bear arms.  Barely.  It was a 5-4 decision.  That is how close we came to losing the Second Amendment:
 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
There […]

Technology Spinoffs

I have suggested our country needs a special energy initiative, much like the space program, to focus on a national effort to become both more energy efficient and energy independent.  An intensive research and development program is exactly the type of thing our government should be doing to help protect our long-term interests… especially given […]

The Tyranny of Tolerance

The level of freedom we enjoy in the U.S.A. was embedded in our collective attitude from our country’s beginning. So long as they didn’t break the law or infringe on the rights of others, individuals were free to do most anything they wanted. Maverick behavior — what some today call “thinking outside the […]

Less Is More

A smaller government (not to be confused with NO government) means greater freedom for those people under it.  The larger a government entity becomes, the more controlling it becomes… and this is true whether it is a municipal government, state agency, or federal department.  While some control may be good… it prevents chaos… I believe […]

Think!

I believe it was IBM that used this as an advertising tag line many years ago:  Think!  This was back when IBM was the symbol of corporate efficiency, integrity, and success. They were also a good corporate citizen, very involved in the community and well respected internationally.  The saying at the time went:  what’s good […]

When A “Solution” Doesn’t Work…

… do you blindly keep doing it or do you try something else?
You’ve heard this before… and it has truth in it:
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.”
One of the inherent weaknesses of our government and political system is the momentum gained when a “program” […]

Hope and Opportunity

Since early in its history, the United States of America has been known as the nation of freedom and hope and opportunity… not just for its native countrymen… but also for people who could emigrate, become full-fledged citizens of our great country, and pursue their dreams. The U.S. was one of the very few […]

Government Intrusion

I think the majority of people would agree that we don’t want the government to “intrude” in our lives… but the definition of intrusion is apparently very different for some of us.
To be sure, government touches all of us in many, many ways every day. Whether it is the set of laws governing our […]

Bending Over Backwards

There’s an odd phenomenon that worries me since it’s becoming more prevalent than ever before. Some of it seems to be a human characteristic… at least, a trait of caring humans… and leads to unanticipated results that are entirely opposed to what is really desired.
When “good people” see a wrong, they tend to want […]
