It is the inability of any human being, let alone any form of government to provide and guarantee and fulfill the expectation of equal outcomes and perpetual happiness that has created unparalleled and unprecedented levels of hate, discontent, envy, anger, frustration, violence, and rage. Everyone, or at least most people want to be happy. It is in our DNA. Happiness decreases stress and brings about contentment. But how do we define happiness? How do we know when we are happy? How long will our happiness last? How do we find happiness? Should we be responsible for the happiness of other people? Should other people be responsible for our happiness? We hold the keys to happiness. No one ...

The Right to Life, our most basic and important right was clearly stated in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” It is not wealth and technology that should define a civilization but our morals, our principles, our compassion, our generosity, and most of all our willingness to protect and defend the sanctity of human life, no matter how young or old, weak or strong, large or small, no matter our skin color, our beliefs, and our convictions. When government or individuals can decid ...

Our country is experiencing the greatest transformation since its inception as a Republic. It bears little resemblance to the greatest nation the world has seen. Our Constitution, the Rule of Law, Congress, the Separation of Powers, our culture, our Judeo Christian values, and our heritage have come under a relentless assault. As Alexander Tyler has observed, democracies and republics are temporary in nature and have a lifecycle of about 200 years. We have exceeded that life expectancy. A complacent and apathetic electorate has embraced a benevolent all-powerful government that has become their new religion. Our President has become their new god. The Progressive movement, with a ...

For those of us who lived long enough, spanning many decades, the nation we live in is no longer recognizable. Our history, our culture, our Constitution, our Judeo-Christian heritage are but distant memories. Gone are the Mayberrys, carefree afternoons, a quiet stroll among the blossoms, sitting on the front porch rocker, dreaming of better days, boundless opportunities, individual freedoms, and personal responsibilities. The Animal Farm, “1984”, and Fahrenheit 451, are no longer books of fiction. It is not that we are against change when change is used for the betterment of mankind, leading to a more caring, just, and benevolent society. We have seen man move faster and farther wit ...

A few centuries ago, we were a nation of rugged individuals that carved out their place in this nation, through toil, sweat, hardship, loss, hunger, illness, and even death. We relied on no one except God, ourselves, and fellow Christians. There was no central government, food stamps, public housing, free medical care or often, no medical care, public schools, super highways, grief counselors, or food pantries to tend to our every need. Ronald Reagan once said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in our bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunse ...

We were a nation born of the people, by the people, and for the people. But our road to freedom was a rocky treacherous path, fraught with obstacles, pitfalls, and detours. Steel is hardened in fire. Soldiers are forged in battle. Leaders are made in crises. Prior to COVID-19, we took all outbreaks of disease seriously but we took them in stride. But something changed, we changed when we were confronted with COVID-19. Draconian measures were forced on our citizens. Neighbors turned against neighbors, family against family. They closed our Churches. Politicians enforced their edicts with Gestapo like tactics. The freedom that patriots fought and died for had been summarily stripped away. ...

The final words of the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag", "With Liberty and Justice for All", are powerful words, as powerful as any words found in any of our national document. Every day, millions of children say the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag" in schools throughout the country. They are words that stir the emotions and inspire individuals to great acts of courage. They are words that inspire patriotism and national spirit. Liberty and Justice often seem elusive. Liberty and Justice mean different things to different people. Many people feel freedom gives them the absolute right to do what they choose without regard to other people. For many people, justice is considered a l ...
