The Math And Science Is Clear: Gun Control Doesn’t Work.

(But it’s not really about guns, laws, math or science—it’s all about tyrannical power.) If you don’t have time to read my lengthy essay, just watch this. (You might decide to come back read the whole thing afterward—or even to share it.) Gun control laws not working is a big claim. While I already felt……

Free Or Cheap, No Bar-To-Entry Law School

While I’ve worked in education, I’ve never been formally employed at a university. I received free ministerial ordination through an organization unaffiliated with any faith tradition. After following Josh Kaufman’s Personal MBA blog for years and later reading his book of the same name, it occurred to me that there isn’t much reason not to……

The Future of American Politics

With politics this year, all seems in flux, doesn’t it? The GOP is in Public disarray, and the Democrats aren’t all that far behind. Why is that so? I suspect we are seeing a major realignment in the parties, neither of the Washington establishments seem to have much in common with their voters anymore, and……

The last, best hope for America

If America is the last, best hope for the world then the conservative ideology is the last, best hope for America. Conservatives are the conscience of the nation and while the conservative message may be difficult to hear on occasion, it has the inescapable ring of truth about it. Conservatism is a civilized ideology. It champions……

The Great Gathering – The Best of CPAC 2015 [Full Videos]

The always fun and interesting 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference at last arrived and for three days the “who’s who” of the various wings within the conservative movement strutted their stuff. A few RINO’s were snuck into the mix, but CPAC is always a great gathering of the who’s who of the American Right, presidential……

Liberal Hit Piece by Mother Jones: How a Pro-Gun, Anti-Gay “Political Terrorist” Could Help Keep Colorado Democrats in Power

They say that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. And that apparently applies to political battles and ideological warfare as well. You know you are doing something right when the Left goes after you in a hit piece like this. The Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners is Dudley Brown. He and……

Another ‘Time for Choosing’ : Our Rendezvous With Destiny

– By Mark Alexander – “Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human……

That Wind Blowing and That Tide

When I was 5 or 6 was the first time I was allowed to go to the funeral home with my parents. The person who had died was my Great Uncle Henry, and yes I knew him although not all that well, I had met him several times at family reunions. He was a very……

Defending Liberty From All Her Enemies

We exist in a vast sea of ignorance and lack of understanding in regards to history, politics, and ideology. Not to mention the implications of each upon our nation and civilization. Perhaps we should not be surprised that large segments of society can’t put the Civil War in the correct century or begin to find……

Tyranny Is Transient — Liberty Is Eternal

-by Mark Alexander-   “Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us.” –Thomas Jefferson (1775) I began this week, in which we celebrate the 238th anniversary of the codification of our Declaration of……

A Most Conservative Revolution

Today we celebrate for the 238th time, something the Founders did not want. Independence. What they wanted was restoration of their rights as freeborn Englishmen. Our revolution was in direct line of succession from Magna Charta, The English Civil War, and The Glorious Revolution (and its Bill of Rights upon which our own was mostly based). Washington’s……

The Second Amendment as an Expression of First Principles

– by Edward J. Erler – We are currently mired in a frantic debate about the rights of gun owners. One example should suffice to prove that the debate has become hysterical: Second Amendment supporters, one prominent but less than articulate member of Congress alleges, have become “enablers of mass murder.” Special animus has been……

Why Not Rand Paul?

“Mr. President, we will not let you run roughshod over our rights. We will challenge you in the courts, we will battle you at the ballot box. Mr. President, we will not let you shred our Constitution… It is decidedly not a time for the faint of heart. It is a time for boldness and……

The Right Roars – CPAC 2014 Full Videos – Day 3

Conservative Principles and the Common Man

The raging, twenty-four-seven political debates that virtually consume social media, many news sites, and entire cable stations is mostly filled with cheap shots, one-liners, bumper sticker slogans, and the same tired, half-truth arguments. The endless, partisan maneuvering and jockeying for power among the political parties and branches of government often completely masks the fact that……

Let’s Review Here – The RINO Legacy

Just a reminder of what has happened over the last 25 plus years of Republicans nominating RINOs1980 Reagan – Conservative (for the most part) – Won as a Conservative1984 Reagan – Conservative (for the most part) – Won – Reelected as a ConservativeReagan was the last President to even come close to being a true……

The Right Side Of History

Time and time again I have been accused of being on the “wrong side of history” when it comes to the arguments over abortion and, especially, to so-called gay marriage. This linguistic fad has exploded in use lately as if history itself is the sole arbitrator of what is right and true. It is the……

Why Are You Thinking of College?

I talk about this fairly often on my blog, but not so much here. Why exactly are you (or your kids) thinking of going to college? Because you have to, to get a good job? That was my answer, until I got to college. And then I realized that with what I wanted to do,……

Untitled

My two cents (if it is worth that much in an Obama economy) for victory over the Republican party opposition is as follows. I’ll preface my comments by saying I do not purport to be another Lee Atwater, Mike Murphy, Karl Rove or James Carville when it comes to political strategy. I, however, like many……

Watching Liberalism Flounder: It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over (No Fireworks Yet)

Last week, Jeffrey Lord of The American Spectator published an upbeat article heavily quoting R. Emmett Tyrrell’s book The Death Of Liberalism, a short read from 2011 where Mr. Tyrrell presents the case for American liberalism’s eminent demise based on the expected failure of the Affordable Care Act, or, as we affectionately call it, ObamaCare.……
