Obama versus the Constitution February 7, 2012 By Matt Maddox I heard a clip of Jay Carney explaining the administration’s position on the new rule, under Obamacare, that mandates contraception be provided by private insurers, such as the Catholic Church. He said that the new guidelines, which President Obama had carefully considered, were meant to force private insurers to cover “

President Obama said on Saturday that his State of the Union speech will focus on economic fairness for the middle class.  After listening to him Tuesday, that was entirely right.  But there's always a catch when economic fairness is mentioned.  From listening to his speech you'd think that America's economic problems are as simple as the afternoon your mom accidentally gave your

According to Marianne Gingrich, Newt isn't a man of character and is therefore unsuited to be the president of the United States.  She claims that he wanted an open marriage and that he wasn't willing to keep his marital vows.  Newt, on national television, not only flatly denied the allegations, but shamed the network and their debate host for bringing up such a trivial matter during

Rick Santorum probably did the most for his campaign in last night's CNN Republican Debate in South Carolina.  His main point was that he is the candidate that has a proven Conservative record and is consistent enough to draw a clear distinction between himself and Obama.  He was forceful and articulate when he explained his positions and policies.  His criticism of Newt was

In order to for New York City taxi drivers to operate legally, the drivers of the iconic yellow taxis must have a medallion issued by the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission—the going rate for one is a cool $750,000.  That's more money than the combined debt loads of a legal and dental student in New York.  That would cover more than 1,500 permits to have a microbrewery in the same

Why I’m ConservativeBy N. D. Cordon In this highly polarized political era in which we live, its easy to develop a us vs. them mentality; Republicans vs. Democrats, conservatives vs. liberals, right vs. left, us vs. them. With such a mentality, it’s easy to forget that we aren’t always right and that each side has valid points.  So here's why I side with the conservatives. I am a

Wisconsin is in the hole $3,600,000,000.00. They can't print money and going into debt to pay it off makes even less sense. So Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, proposed drastic cuts to get the budget in line and put Wisconsin's financial house in order. And just like in New Jersey when similar cuts were announced, the teacher's union flipped out.For the past two days teachers and union

President Obama was quick to call for the ouster of President Mubarak; so did the Muslim Brotherhood, but both have been slow to say who or what type of government should replace him.  Many others have been similarly quick in their praise for the rioters. Why do we suddenly favor the tyranny of the violent minority to the democratic process that Egypt already has?  True, Mubarak has

A recent Gallup poll found that almost 71% of Americans think it is important for the GOP to listen to the Tea Party ideas when trying to confront the nation's problems.  The numbers don't just fall along party lines either.   Sure 88% of Republican respondents said that listening to the Tea Party was important, but the other two identified groups (Democrats and independents) had

I attended a forum on gay marriage at Brigham Young University, presented by the Sociology department.  The keynote speaker asked, “Why would you study the effects of pre-marital, physical intimacy on subsequent marriages?” Nobly, many responded that they would study the effects of such immorality to show that their moral stance on pre-marital intimacy was right.  The professor

According to President Obama, "...if we truly care about our deficit, we simply cannot afford a permanent extension of the tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Before we take money away from our schools, or scholarships away from our students, we should ask millionaires to give up their tax breaks." Is the President seriously asking us to suspend our reasonable disbelief and buy

We are pleased to bring you the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights on our blog.  We hope that you enjoy reading these important documents and that you take the time to read and study them.  If you are interested in learning more about the principles the documents are based on, we recommend you take a look at "The Christian History of the Constitution,"

Caroline Fredrickson, opinion writer at the Politico, scolded Representative Michele Bachmann for not wanting to learn a "comprehensive" view of the Constitution.  Ms. Fredrickson rejected an originalist interpretation of the Constitution as inexcusable because the changes in culture, technology, and values make the original intent irrelevant. Would Ms. Fredrickson go to President Kennedy

Virginia's Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, has subpoenaed documents from a scientist working at the University of Virginia. Such an action is permissible under a statute passed in 2002 to help curb and prevent employees at public Universities from defrauding public tax dollars. The Democrats in the State Assembly are, of course, aghast. Funny that the Democrats should be concerned about the

An appellate panel in Chicago ruled that Rahm Emanuel is not a Chicago resident and is ineligible to run for Mayor (read it here). People are now bemoaning the judicial activism in the courts because of this ruling. This in spite of the fact that the courts are designated to rule on legal issues. It makes you wonder why people want Rahm as Mayor in the first place.  Chicago is notorious

It looks like Ezra Klein was wrong again.  Yesterday he savaged the republicans for repealing Obamacare but not having a replacement.  Little did he know (or maybe he wasn't paying attention) that the GOP was working to make good replacement policy (read about it here).  The GOP has set up committees to actually study and find verifiable evidence of policies which would actually

China's president indicated yesterday (read the story here) that his country wasn't going to change its stance on human rights.  Congressional leaders such as Speaker Boehner, and Representative Pelosi, both urged China to commit to better preserving human rights.  Hu said that the US should respect cultural differences and let them deal with their issues their way.

Ezra Klein, Washington Post columnist, blasted the repeal of Obamacare yesterday in the house (read it here). His biggest complaint about the GOP was that they don't have any replacement bill. His point might be valid if it weren't fatally flawed.  He completely ignores the faulty premises of Obamacare. We'll forgive him since he is young (26) and can't understand old things. In the

One year after the passage of Obamacare, the House of Representatives voted yesterday in a 245 to 189 vote, to repeal Obamacare.   Now we wait to see if Harry Reid will bring it to the floor of the Senate for a vote.  If you'd like to contact your senator click here.    Hopefully the Senate will be persuaded that Obamacare needs to be repealed.  Let's let our voices

Eugene Robinson, in his editorial today (click here to read it), said that Sarah Palin, reminds him of Eva Peron. ...Really? Perhaps he meant to compare the way in which they both came to govern? Oh, wait, no, Eva Peron was never elected (though she was nominated once). Since Evita didn't ever win an election maybe he means that they gained popularity and power the same way?  If that is

The tragedy of the shooting in Tucson leaves people asking all sorts of questions.  "Why did he do it?" "Why didn't someone stop him before he started shooting" "Can such tragedies be prevented" etc.  One of the answers that the politicians love to give is that yes it can be prevented (giving comfort to their constituents) and all they have to do is pass a bill to provide more
