Because taxation and deficit spending (pre-taxation of the yet unborn) have been employed to fund these socialistic government programs, any discussion regarding the erosion of freedoms must logically begin with a sound understanding of taxation

Part I - Legitimate Government Taxation

A. National Security (intelligence, army, navy, air force, coast guard, etc.)

B. Commerce (roads, bridges, airports, waterways, seaways, etc

C. Protection of Life and Property (fire, police, public health, water purification & distribution, sewage and garbage collection and disposal)

D. Enforcement of laws and contracts that promote public order (judicial/penal system)

E. General Welfare Preamble to the Constitution

Impressive evidence has been revealed showing what we thought we knew was wrong all along.

Our history shows that Calhoun's analysis is true. The Republicans opposed big government when the Democrats were in power, but spoke of concepts such as "executive privilege" when their own party held positions of authority. The Democrats have done exactly the same thing.

This review of the history of Islamic confrontation with the West is not to condemn Muslim people. It is to condemn the spirit and motivation to conquer and subjugate other cultures.

The fight for Islamic dominance over 1300 years has not gone well for Muslims. Nevertheless, the universal longing, kept alive in the education of Muslim children for a great leader, or caliph, continues in the attempt to set right the perceived historic wrong. The longed-for resurrection of the glory of Islam will be achieved by the defeat of Western dominance and the worldwide imposition of full sharia – Islamic law.

That is, contrary to the contemporary assumption that government is the source of rights, the signers of the Declaration believed that governments are constructed entities, a set of contrived offices; they have no rights themselves, only responsibilities. And what is made by the people can be unmade.

Justice Alito cogently refutes one of the central claims of the government’s opposition to Hobby Lobby and Conestoga. That assertion was that corporations do not have free exercise of religion rights.

In short, President Obama’s appointments to the NLRB are defeated, but the recess appointment power is still very much alive.

Father Walker's three great passions were preserving the older form of the Roman Mass, protecting the unborn, and defending human dignity.

Ultimately, World War II far surpassed World War I’s carnage, and the Soviet global communist ideology killed even more still; both precipitated by a “Great War” in which no great moral issues were at stake.

Whoever gathers information from the TV network news media elite may have missed what is going on in the world. Below are listed headlines from alternative media sources today known as the “Fifth Estate” (cyber sources, social media and media outlets operating outside the mainstream media).

.....

"Gallup: Public Confidence in TV News at All-Time" (CNSNews.com 6/20/2014).

Superise, suprise.

This is by means an exhaustive list of headlines. Thought you'd like to know what you're missing.

Normal folks - the "virtuous people" of the Founders - stare in disbelief as the Red Team - Blue Team farce distracts us from the obvious: both Obamanites and Neocons have abandoned any sense of responsibility. They always cause chaos, and they always blame somebody else.

We are our brothers’ keepers, and we need to be wise as we plan international policy and personal treatment. Nevertheless, it is idealistic and unreasonable to expect that the insane consequences of our human condition will be eradicated this side of eternity.

Currency devaluation, along with rampant inflation are the inevitable results of the Federal Reserve and its usual misguided efforts to mask our departure from free markets and capitalism to the almost universal poverty that accompany socialism. Ask a Russian citizen, “How’s it going?” the “shoulder shrugging” answer has been eighty years in the making, but many in Russia, and even here, still believe the “promise”…

So rather than cut or even eliminate the income and property taxes in North Dakota, we can all look forward to that eventual day when it all comes tumbling down and we are left with no choice but to bail out our public employee’s defined benefit plans with the revenues that should have been left in our pockets to truly diversify our North Dakota economy! My 401K is almost fully converted to low-risk corporate securities. As they say in the commercial, “What's is YOUR wallet?”

Conservatives have tired of their party leaders who have gotten comfortable splashing around in the Hot Tub to keep their own private party going.

What will it mean if Republicans win the Senate with Obama as president? Last month Dick Morris published a rather insightful article about what to expect if the Republicans take control of the US Senate in November. In all likelihood they will not acquire 67 votes that would permit them to override Obama’s vetoes. They may not even acquire 60 votes permitting them to cut off filibusters.

But why do human beings, with their particular anatomical configuration, want to use their feet for a task performed infinitely better by the hands?

He killed half his victims with a knife, but the whole focus was on guns. (And he’s widely referred to as a “shooter.” I think he was a slasher.) He was half Asian, but the whole focus was on whites. You could also call it situational attribution: a mixed race person is defined by his minority half when he achieves, as with our first “black” president. But when such an individual is recognized as having committed a crime, he’s suddenly white. This can only make us wonder how long it will be before Barack Obama becomes white.

However, the importance of honesty, integrity, transparency, and reliability are still requirements for the job. Dad, I thank you for modeling those traits.

Book Review of "A Time for Truth" by Os Guinness

The book title certainly begs the question “What is truth?” Guinness answers straightforwardly. After setting the scene in the first two-thirds of the book, he defines truth. “In the Biblical view, truth is that which is ultimately, finally, and absolutely real, or the ‘way it is,’ and therefore is utterly trustworthy and dependable, being grounded and anchored in God’s own reality and truthfulness....Both accuracy and authenticity are important to truth....If in our ordinary speech, telling the truth is ‘telling it like it is,’ we can say that a statement, an idea or a belief is true if what it is about is as it is presented in the statement.”

A Time for Truth: Get it. Read it. Heed it. You will be the wiser for it.

Today, the IRS continues to review the vast majority of these applications. Many groups have simply shuttered because they are at a significant disadvantage for fundraising. But now we know that it is legal to ask about the process the agency is using. It’s okay to expect the Constitution will be upheld when tax-exempt applications are under consideration. It’s fair for the public to know the principles behind the policies that motivate IRS decisions.

Joe wants you to help the poor by giving your money to the government. Then he can give it away.

 So what’s the answer we don’t want to hear? The critical difference among these regions and nations is explained right in Sowell’s title: it’s “not guns.”

My point is that amid all of that legwork, when I sat down to try to conceive a list of principles of Reagan conservatism—which I did for a conference on conservatism hosted by the Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College—I ultimately came up with 11 principles.

Once we understand the V.A., we need to determine the extent of the problem and the extent of dishonesty about the problem. It is clear that there is significant dishonesty in both of the two major components of the V.A., the Veterans' Health Administration (VHA) and the Veterans' Benefits Administration (VBA).
