Newt’s Victory is Tea Party’s Loss

Sen. Rand Paul has said that Newt Gingrich “goes against everything the tea party stands for.” This might be an understatement.
The tea party originally stood for one simple but important message: Stop spending. For tea partiers, the “Troubled Asset Relief Program” or TARP was the litmus test and any Republican who supported it faced the wrath of the movement. Explained Utah tea party leader David Kirkham in May 2010:
I think it’s a matter of fiscal or financial responsibility … What the tea party people are about and the vote for …

Sugar and condoms

I have a question for you; where would we be w/o that purveyor of truth and tolerance…. the education system? What must it be like to be so concerned about children that you can begin to dictate what they are allowed to eat at school and more importantly at home.
I bought some frosted flakes the other day and failed to notice that they came with a 3rd less sugar. Let me make this crystal clear. There is only one reason why I buy frosted flakes…FOR THE FROSTED PART!
If I wanted …

Dear Mr. Gleason….

The Sam Rohrer for Senate campaign has launched a new initiative found at http://www.dearmrgleason.com. It is a petition site that encourages supporters to sign on to a letter to Rob Gleason, the PA GOP Chairman, asking him to stop endorsing candidates in primaries. The idea is to allow the people decide who their Republican nominee should be, rather than a bunch of party bigwigs in smoky backrooms.
We have proudly affixed our names to this petition and encourage you to do so as well regardless of who you are supporting …

Education in 2012 and Beyond

Education is one of the most important issues of this election and the future of our nation. Education is very important to me as a close friend of many teachers and a relative of even more. The last few years I have spend a lot of time talking with friends and family who are teachers and they all seem to express the same concern over the education, mainly directed at the Kennedy bill known as No Child Left Behind. Every teacher I have talked to says that it was a …

It’s Over – Only Two Republican Candidates on Virginia Ballot

From RonPaul2012.com :
In the Commonwealth, real change candidate and Champion of the Constitution Ron Paul will face down establishment flip-flopper Mitt Romney
LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul, the constitutionally-observant candidate of real change, will face down establishment candidate and notorious flip-flopper Mitt Romney in a head-to-head matchup in the Virginia primary.
The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied four candidates’ appeals to appear on the ballot after their glaring failure to comply with the Commonwealth’s stringent, but widely-known, ballot access requirements.
Former candidate Jon Huntsman and Rick …

Didn’t God make us naked?

When Adam and Eve fell from grace after eating from the tree of good and evil, one of the “evil” things they came to realize was they were naked.
I don’t know exactly why being naked with your wife while being the only humans on earth would be considered evil?
It seems to me it should have been considered exactly how it felt prior to the apple…GOOD!
I can’t speak for women, but for a man to get to wander around outside nude surrounded by beautiful trees and sky and, oh yeah, a …

Truth Justice and the American Way

When I was growing up, Superman was the ultimate hero on American television. The opening promotion proudly proclaimed that Superman was fighting for “truth, justice, and the American way!” Unfortunately, Superman is fiction, and there is neither truth nor justice in our American court rooms today.
My good friend, Bernard Von Nothaus has been convicted of counterfeiting in what I perceive to be one of the most blatant examples of fraud this world has ever known. An Alice in Wonderland event where up is down, and nothing is real. Bernard is …

Report on Oklahoma City class

On Saturday (January 14th) I presented my Constitution class on the floor of the Oklahoma State House.

I also want to thank Eddie Allen for driving me from Dallas to Oklahoma City, and Tisha Casida and Steve Thompson for driving all the way from Pueblo, Colorado to Oklahoma City to attend my class.
The purpose of this event was to present my class to as …

County Sheriff Project – pre-report

The countdown continues! We are less than two weeks away from the very first County Sheriff Project event, scheduled for January 30th in Las Vegas, Nevada. I will be the very first presentation on the schedule, and it is my job to teach the sheriffs about rights vs privileges in general, and the Bill of Rights in particular. The plan is to generate enthusiasm very early, and continue raising that enthusiasm until the end of the day. The schedule we have crafted is very likely to do just that.
This project …

The War Prayer

After watching the lackluster debate in South Carolina last night, I’m a bit sick to my stomach and a bit mystified. Last night the so called “Evangelical Christians” who make up the base of the South Carolina GOP, booed, hissed and mockingly laughed at the teaching of Jesus found in Matthew 7:12. What was the offense? What was the radical, dangerous idea being proposed? Ron Paul suggested that we should use the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” – in our …
