Our leaders will serve the common good with better laws and better actions only when we serve it first, by casting better votes.
We may well soon be subjected to anything that judges want to enforce.... The result will be an enforced inability of the states to pass laws that reflect the principled judgment of their own citizens....And as our Founders taught us so well, ...[that] will be the end of liberty and the establishment of tyranny in America.
The gun control mentality is ruthlessly absurd. It suggests that you pass a law which will bind law-abiding citizens — they won't have access to weapons. Now, we know that criminals, by definition, are people who don't obey laws. Therefore, you can pass all the laws that you want, they will still have access to these weapons, just as they have access to illegal drugs and other things right now. That means you end up with a situation in which the law-abiding folks can't defend themselves, and the crooks have all the guns.
Without the basis in written law, and without the basis in our Constitution ratified by the people, judges can't make laws. And if we accept the notion that their dictates are law, then we have not only submitted to tyranny, we have abandoned a republican form of government.

Why am I here? It's because I'm the sentimental favorite,
One individual doesn't really accept the pro-life position of the party, and the other ... says he supports it and takes a position that is logically inconsistent.
We need to get rid of the 16th amendment, and return to the original system that funds government with a variety of tariffs and duties.
I don't think that has to be our choice... This party was born in principle. This party will die if it doesn't stand by its decision of principle.
Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.
