“Many who think themselves infinitely superior to the aberrations of Nazism, and sincerely hate all manifestations, work at the same time for ideals whose realization would lead straight to the abhorred tyranny.” ~ F.A. Hayek With the official launching of Obamacare on Oct. 1st, I am reminded of the famous aphorism attributed to playwright George […]
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” ~Proverbs 23:7 Socrates (470-399 B.C.) was a famous Greek philosopher from Athens, who taught Plato, and Plato taught Aristotle, and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Socrates used a simple but cleverly profound method of teaching by asking revelatory, piercing questions. The Greeks called this form […]

“When injustice becomes a law, rebellion becomes a duty.” ~Jefferson The Bible story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular and enduring narratives ever told.

Hitler, a movie fanatic, well understood the infinite propaganda power of the cinema “Hollywood [circa 1930-42] is not just collaborating with Nazi Germany; it’s also collaborating with Adolf Hitler, the person and human being.” ~Ben Urwand Is it possible that such an iconic American institution as Hollywood, including all of the biggest studios and studio […]
Note: Read “C.S. Lewis: When science becomes magic, Part 1.” “I dread government in the name of science; that is how tyrannies come in.” ~ C. S. Lewis “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” ~ Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Buck v.

In an interesting USA Today op-ed by George Mason University law professor Llya Somin explores the galling paradox Obama messiah must face when the White House loses high-court cases 9-0 time after time. Professor Somin thinks that the president “is going too far” in pushing what I call his Marxist/Alinsky agenda to systematically deconstruct American law and society. A literary analogy would be Don Quixote tilting at windmills. A historical analogy is Hitler (a National Socialist) burning down the Reichstag and blaming it on his fellow fascists, the communists, and on his scapegoat, the Jews.
As Detroit stood at the pinnacle of her greatness in 1950, she was also at the precipice ready to plunge into the abyss for all of her former glory, as the economic engine that drove the great ship USA was built upon a Big Lie – Detroit’s rise in the 20th century violated Natural Law and violated fundamental principles of capitalism. Detroit was at the height of her powers yet would mark the year the Germans called die Rechnung (the reckoning) – a planned period of economic, political, moral and social deconstruction that would take the next 60 years to complete its ultimate damnation.
“The corruption, crime, and incompetence of the D.C. government has been an embarrassment to our nation’s capital for decades.

The Keep Nine Amendment: A Permanent Solution to Threats of Court-Packing
“I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court. If anything would make the court appear more partisan, it would be that. So, I am not at all in favor of that solution. Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a […]
