June 9, 2014 (updated June 10, 2014)

Note: In the first article, I explained that all of the parties had not yet been contacted.  The article went to press because the efforts of Mainstream Media to tie the Millers to the Bundy Ranch had to be addressed, as early as possible.  Though I seldom put out a story until all of the necessary research is completed, this was an exception.  What…

What?  Three Constitutions?  What must he be talking about?

What we will be looking at is that there are, in the minds of various people, especially those within certain vocations, who perceive the Constitution from a perspective differently than others might.  It may appear that when we speak of the Constitution, we think that we are all speaking…

Christmas Eve, 2013

Just a week before Christmas, the Spirit of the Christian Faith has arisen to a degree unseen for decades.  It began when a reality program personality, in an interview, made observations about his faith and the Bible, principally directed at queers - those who have aberrational lifestyles.

In just a few…

What is Habeas Corpus?

There is only one Right embodied in the Constitution; the remainder are found in the Bill of Rights. For the most part, the Constitution created a government and granted it only certain powers and authorities. So, what right is so significant as to be…

"We have Constitutional Rights!"  "They have violated the Constitution!"  We hear such exclamations on a regular basis.  However, have we ever really stopped to consider just what we are saying?  Just what we are supporting?  Just what we have…

Having touched upon the subject of Honor (Bound by Honor?), and Oaths (Bound by Oath!), we will now venture to the foundation of both Oath and Honor, the sense, or lack thereof, of moral…

November 5, 2013

Having touched upon the subject of Honor (Bound by Honor?), we shall now venture into the subject of that Honor.  From the ratification of the Constitution, through today, it has been held that an oath is one of the requisites for office.  It was required of the President…

November 3, 2013

There is an inherent tendency to suppose guilt, when someone lies about an incident.  Many applauded when Martha Stewart was sent to prison for 5 months for lying to investigators about some stock dealings.  The charge was not perjury, rather, "obstruction of justice" If someone lies about, say, a relative's whereabouts, though the lie…

Appeasement

n. The action or process of appeasing.

Appease

v. pacify or placate (someone) by acceding to their demands.

So, what does appeasement have to do with anything?  Perhaps pacifying or placating someone would avoid potential problems.  It can't be a bad approach, can it?

Perhaps a brief history of…

For the first time since the Tea Party element realized that something was seriously wrong in government, thereby becoming a part of the patriot/constitutionalist community, people were seen on the streets carrying something other than signs.  Though not quite on the level…

National Parks Held Hostage

Just what is a "public" park?

October 12, 2013

Recent events have demonstrated that the US government is more than willing to create any inconvenience, whether lawful, or not, in an effort to achieve their ends. This has become abundantly apparent in the closure of portions of National Parks, without regard to the cost, or the inconvenience and private costs, as…

Outpost of Freedom

September 2, 2013

There comes a time when we are past the point of words; only action will achieve the goal that we have set.  That goal is founded upon our belief in, and our determination to support, the Constitution -- and, the peaceful transition of the office of President.  Now, we must consider what to do when that transfer appears to be the harbinger of the total…

The Bill of Rights was ratified after the Constitution because many feared that the government created by the Constitution might overreach the limitations imposed upon it.  This is explained in the Preamble to the Bill of Rights.  Preamble means: The introductory... showing the meaning or intent.

Outpost of Freedom

July 21, 2013

For those who have decided that George Zimmerman was not justified in shooting Trayvon Martin, consider whether Trayvon Martin would agree with your advocacy of beating or killing whites. If Trayvon Martin would not support your advocacy, then that verdict was in error. If, however, Trayvon Martin would support such advocacy, then that justifies the actions of George Zimmerman and…
