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

Certainly, the political process has long been recognized as a messy one. It is a jumbled amalgamation of give and take, often unrecognizable and un-understandable before completion. However, never before in our nation’s history have I heard of nor witnessed what is happening today.
I’m sure elected officials see SOME smaller things like this […]

Most politicians think us regular citizens are fools. They will tell us lies with a straight face and expect us to accept what they say as fact.
Disturbingly, the media no longer challenges such assertions…
Not so many years ago, the “fourth estate” could be counted on to dig deep and bring the truth […]

Now is the time for action.
Regardless what happens on the health care fraud that’s being perpetrated in Washington right now, there are too many other areas where the government… and the non-contributing faction of the “citizenry” (which includes, sadly, many non-citizens)… are grabbing what rightfully belongs to the rest of us: the […]

While most acknowledge our current system of health care has flaws, it is absolutely NOT as bad as many would lead you to believe and, on the whole, works better than any other system.

We elect our country’s “leaders” to REPRESENT us… to express our wishes when developing laws and making decisions about spending OUR money. While it is impossible for them to follow any given individual’s wishes since there will be conflicting views, I find it deplorable that those in charge of our government are seriously considering […]

A coalition of Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical Christians has formed and published a document stating a firm […]

Despite denials from about half of our own citizens, it’s readily apparent that changes are happening in the U.S… and not for the better. It’s a sad day, though, when it’s recognized by the Russians:
From Pravda-

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening […]

A single line from an excellent book, The 5000 Year Leap, has really made me think:
