Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Americans losing faith in government: 6 of 35

One pundit claims their is no faith, because the US Government is gridlocked. This seems plausible; but in reality, there is no "...of,... by... and for the people..", which is why Tuan Nguyen said, "...government today is directly associated with the grid-lock that has been embedded into our own constitution..." In order to...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders 1-10-07 President Bush's address to the nation: What he should have said ...: 3 of 9

My fellow Americans, we must needs be responsible. I call for a constitutional Renaissance of the republican principles of self-government; which has nothing to do with the Republican party, just as democracy has nothing to do with the Democratic party. We need to instill responsibility throughout the world. Being that so ma...
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies The basic principles of the US government: 2 of 6

The authors of the preamble of the US Constitution gave much thought to American principles, and the purpose and limits of their government. Millenniums of history gave them insight; history can actually show where the future is not. They ameliorated future possibilities, because they foresaw human behavior and thought in th...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Building a bridge to sustainable peace: 1 of 3

BUILDING THE BRIDGE TO SUSTAINABLE PEACE To begin, we must have a plan, a vision common to all; which, amazingly enough, was provided before you and I were born. A new society in a 'new world' envisioned their people regarding themselves as equal, and equitably responsible. They formed a polity, thinking politics would serve...
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Anarco-capitalism explored: 1 of 3

Purpose And Limits Of Government The writers of the US constitution gave humankind a road map, they looked at history and saw where the future was not. The purpose and limits of the US federal government are clearly defined by the preamble. It explains why, and is a guide to show how 'we the people,' want to be self-governed...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms A new society culturally sustained with peace: 1 of 1

As we flip through the pages of history, we can see where the future is not; to keep history from repeating itself, we must learn its lessons. The beginning of a new society of people consenting to govern themselves began when people agreed to ordain and establish a supreme law to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquili...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Gay rights and the Christian church: 40 of 71

Those who are proud to be gay, and those who want to make all things Christian are, at best, smoke screens clouding the purpose and limits of government. Making political issues out of personal choices, that have no general applicability, have done more damage to the American polity than any act of foreign aggression/terror....
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace America's war dependent culture: 5 of 7

-"I hardly think that anyone can truly think that America's "culture" is dependent on war." - Are you saying some American don't truly think. Is it not obvious most Americans wallow around in denial? They contradict themselves with statements like, "As an American, I deplore war but by the same token, I also think that somet...
Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) A secret society that rules the world: 19 of 23

There is really nothing secret about how the world is ruled; but it does insult human dignity by combining art with scientific skill to sway popular opinion in the most lucrative direction. Red, white and blue logos, and military fashion, inspired with religion, feeds a misguided need to feel proud. Fear makes people feel mi...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Your job and happiness: 39 of 39

Too few actually exploit their passion(s) in life, which is why too many live in denial; but one's passion, weather it be in the arts or sciences, or just having a family comprises the sanctity of human life. Exploiting it insults the human soul; it scars like prostitution. The bane of American culture is a misguided quest t...
