Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. --Abraham Lincoln
The Culture Wars and The Rule of Law By Theresa Fritz Camoriano There can be no doubt that our country is in the midst of a culture war. While this is a disturbing trend, what is even more disturbing is the fact that people on both sides of the war are willing to trample the rule of law in order to impose their values on others. While much of the destruction of our legal foundations has been achieved by those on the left, the right is getting into the act too. Unfortunately, by the time they are both finished, we are likely to have a tyranny that harms everyone. (click to read more) Charles Krauthammer…and sexually challenged marriages! By John William Kurowski, American Constitutional Research Service I am sad to report that Charles Krauthammer has missed the most important points regarding same sex “marriage” in his column titled NOT AGAIN! Revolution by Fiat (click to read more) Choice: The right thing for public schools, too By: Mr. Jim Waters Opponents of school choice usually base their arguments on a professed interest in protecting public education from the “evils” of private institutions. (click to read more) Sustaining Freedom in America By Henry Lamb Sustaining freedom in America is far too important to be left up to the politicians. This fact was well understood by our founders, who constructed a system that requires the people to periodically elect representatives, at every level of government, to formulate public policies that govern society.

OSHA begs to differ. (click to read more) ABOLISH THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX (Third in a Series) by Rod D. Martin, 4 March 2004 In my ongoing series on making the flat tax a reality, I have noted that there are five key reforms which must take place before a completely new system can be enacted. Successful navigation of this "road map to reform" will improve fairness while preparing the system for an entirely new tax code; it will also teach average Americans -- and their legislators -- the lessons needed to guide them toward the best possible change.

(click to read more) Terry's Tidbits by Terry Gray The Politics of the Christ Jonathan David Morris I suppose since this essay is largely inspired by Mel Gibson's new God flick, The Passion of the Christ, I should start with a quick review. I had a chance to see it this past weekend, and in short: I thought it was good. (click to read more)
"Our preference would be for a more
modest (gay marriage) amendment, one that would prevent the federal courts
from imposing same-sex marriage on the country, but would not foreclose
the possibility of its establishment (at the individual state level) if
proponents could succeed in the democratic process. (O)ur amendment would
read as follows: 'Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to
require any state or the federal government to recognize any marriage
except between a man and a woman.' This would not solve the current
problems in Massachusetts and California, but it would prevent them from
becoming problems for other states--and in that case, there's no reason to
make a federal case out of it."

“The very principle of capitalist entrepreneurship is to provide for the common man. In his capacity as consumer the common man is the sovereign whose buying or abstention from buying decides the fate of entrepreneurial activities. There is in the market economy no other means of acquiring and preserving wealth than by supplying the masses in the best and cheapest way with all the goods they ask for.”-- Ludwig von Mises
"The single most prevalent form of child abuse in this country is the act
of sending a child to a government school. We worry incessantly about the
separation of church and state. We would do well to devote half as much
attention to the separation of
“True conservatives and libertarians should understand that the solution to our moral and cultural decline does not lie in a strong centralized government." - Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Republican
