Ritter – Not a Defender of Colorado, Not a Defender of the U.S. Constitution

by Elliot Fladen | 10:10 am, October 16, 2010

Colorado Governor Ritter has announced that he will be joining with several governors in support of the Federal law to require that every person purchase health insurance. Let’s get something straight – our federal government was set out to be a government of limited, enumerated powers.  The power to regulate health care is nowhere listed [...]

The Cyberbullying of Gay Youth

by Julian Dunraven | 4:03 pm, October 13, 2010

Of particular interest is the relatively recent phenomenon of cyberbullying . . . The Post cited several methods of addressing this problem, ranging from additional tolerance education and awareness programs to school administrative punishments to new legislation criminalizing cyberbullying. Such legalistic outcomes, however, would render an already tragic situation truly ghastly.

Ground Zero Mosque – Will Political Correctness Trump Private Property Rights?

by Elliot Fladen | 7:49 am, August 7, 2010

As far as I can tell (and if I am mistaken, please let me know), here are the facts about the Ground Zero mosque: (1) It is being built on private, not public, land; (2) It is being built using private, not public, money; (3) Its planned use is not one of an illegal purpose; [...]

Public Service Announcement – Yes, the Arizona Court had Jurisdiction to Hear the SB1070 case.

by Elliot Fladen | 9:36 pm, July 31, 2010

Over facebook today a series of posts have exploded implying that Judge Bolton, who recently enjoined portions of Arizona’s new immigration law, was without jurisdiction to do so: “Does anyone read the U.S. Constitution these days? American lawyers don’t read it. Federal Judge Susan R. Bolton apparently has never read it. Same goes for our [...]

Sanctuary Cities – The Real Reason the Feds Aren’t Suing – The Tenth Amendment

by Elliot Fladen | 10:57 pm, July 21, 2010

Recently, much ink has been spilt on the question of why the federal government has targeted Arizona for seeking “to enforce the laws that the federal government won’t” while refusing to target “Sanctuary Cities” – i.e. cities that refuse to expend their resources on looking into immigration violations.  Even the potential Republican nominee for the Senate, [...]

Inconsistency Exploited

by Justin Longo | 8:23 am, December 11, 2009

I feel bad for minarchists / delusional limited government lovers / constitutionalists / whatever you want to call them. Because when you don’t apply first principles fully and to their logical conclusions, you are forced to bite many bullets — bullets that an intelligent leftist can easily exploit. Let me give you a simple example. [...]

America’s First Thanksgiving almost didn’t happen – “thanks” to “spreading the wealth”

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 9:12 am, November 26, 2009

As we gather together with our families and friends on this long holiday weekend, it’s worth remembering not only that we, as Americans, have much for which to be thankful – but also why. It is no accident that prosperity and freedom blossomed in this country like no other – before or since. Even before [...]

Hiding Behind Legislation – When Convenient

by Justin Longo | 9:12 am, November 16, 2009

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. “They call it illegal immigration for a reason. Keyword being ILLEGAL.” Then the conservative goes on to talk about how awful it is that workers from other countries disrespect our laws, and how it proves they are criminals at heart because of their complete disregard for our immigration [...]

Sharia Law Condones Statutory Rape of 14 Year-Old Girls

by wesley | 6:23 am, November 12, 2009

Do I have your attention? I’ve heard a lot about the required tolerance and political correctness when it comes to some of the facets of Islam. I’ve been told by some Globalists and Multiculturalists that denying Muslims the “right” to live in a system of Sharia Law that the Quran codifies is hateful, racist, and [...]
