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 […]
“There are only two parties … the people and its enemies. We must exterminate those miserable villains who are eternally conspiring against the rights of man. … [W]e must exterminate all our enemies.” ~ Robespierre For the progressive left, all roads lead to the French Revolution (1789-99), which was the first totalitarian revolution, the genesis […]
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.

Skinner, to socialist, liberal, progressive thinkers and politicians in modern times.

During this Independence Day time frame, we reflect with exceeding gratitude on the tremendous sacrifices our Founding Fathers made fighting the Revolutionary War of Independence (1775-83), putting in jeopardy their collective lives, liberty and sacred honor to fight against England and against the tyrannical rule of King George III.
Justice Thomas was born 65 years ago this day in the little town of Pin Point, Ga. This tribute essay celebrates the Natural Law and originalist jurisprudence of Thomas, which mandates a synthesis between legality and morality. For 23 years now, Justice Thomas has almost single-handedly upheld a reverential respect, reliance and expertise for the original ideals and intent of the constitutional framers that is tantamount to the transcendent.
Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old college dropout and contract computer analyst for the National Security Administration has leaked very sensitive information of national concern, which can harm all Americans by putting our safety in jeopardy by alerting America’s enemies of our vulnerabilities. Snowden, in violating his oath of secrecy, was unrepentant: “Everyone everywhere now understands how bad things have gotten – and they’re talking about it. They have the power to decide for themselves whether they are willing to sacrifice their privacy to the surveillance state.”
“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

Is there not a cause?
“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. Unlike Greek mythology it has the added advantage of being an actual historical event proven to have occurred by biblical archeologists, theologians and historians and written by […]
