Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Constitution: What does it mean: 1 of 9

The Constitution means the creation of a general government, stronger than the Articles of Confederation, within the context of a limited representative government. Not trying to be flippant, it means what it says. We should keep in mind that the several State Delegates came to the convention with the intent to alter the Art...
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Do we need a new Constitution?: 2 of 14

A new Constitution is not needed, nor is even a Constitutional Convention needed to address perceived weaknesses. What is needed is the resolve to return to the original intent of the Founders inclusive of the expansion of the franchise of individual freedoms which have occurred in the intervening years.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Are we losing our second amendment rights: 1 of 7

Answering this question begins with articulating a factual foundation. The first step is to state what some may consider as 'splitting a hair.' That is, the Second Ratified Amendment is not the definition of rights or the granting of rights or even the stating of rights. It is the stating of a restriction on government so th...

Courage can be viewed from many perspectives, one of which is personal, such as one dictionary suggests, "the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person ...
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Assessing the future of gun rights in the US: 3 of 14

You would think that the recent case of DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. HELLER [2008]; (No. 07-290) 478 F. 3d 370; which affirmed Heller in his defense would make the questions about the right to keep and bear arms finally moot, but no, the forces of darkness (those advocating gun control) are striving even more diligently than even...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Arguments against the United States Bill of Rights: 2 of 9

The idea of an argument against' the United States Bill of Rights is not a new concept. It began before the convention creating the Constitution of the United States was adjourned and the proposed Constitution transmitted to the Continental Congress. Prior to the end of this Convention it became clear that ratification of th...
Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Should laws be passed to limit gun ownership further: 3 of 13

In short no! If anything is to be done about laws concerning guns, it is to eliminate such laws! If the legal system means anything then the recent case of "District to Columbia et al. v. Heller" should make this obvious. Within the United States there is no legal foundation to support any federal laws restricting the person...

For the most part he is pretty much what one would expect, a student of the Progressive approach to government as exemplified ay past presidents such as President Franklin Roosevelt and President Wilson. Even so, whi...
