A message to the Tea Party, 9/12 groups, the Republican Liberty Caucus, Ron Paul supporters, and other Liberty-minded groups and individuals….  

In this article, I hope to…

In a recent article, Be Careful What You Wish For, I outlined the administration's "secret" financing of al Qaeda in Syria. What is the penalty for aiding terrorists if you are a US citizen under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)? This legislation…

In light of all the distortions and half-truths that are constantly repeated, let’s be clear –what sparked the ire of our founders was not taxes; it was tyranny.  Their theme was not simply Taxed Enough Already – it was Tyrannized Enough Already.  Their tolerance for tyranny was taxed to the max – that’s the taxation the founders could no longer take.

The original tea party was not just about money and the driving force toward American independence was not simply taxation.  At the…

On March 2, 2012 I gave a legal analysis of HR347/S1794 (which included some links to frightening government abuses) and how it unquestionably violates the First Amendment.  Upon hearing numerous reports the following week, I realized that the people are not getting the whole truth. 

For those who have not read my blog, please do so, but here is a brief summary.   …

Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has caused a great deal of controversy.  Congressmen all over the nation have defended their vote in favor of these sections in spite of the criticism that these sections allow the President to detain US Citizens indefinitely.  These Congressmen have said over and over again, with great vigor, that these sections specifically exclude US Citizens.  They justify their position by quoting language from these sections that…

As a young man I joined the Boy Scouts.  The scout motto has stayed with me my entire life: Be Prepared.  Never in my six decades has this value of preparedness ever been more relevant and urgent than in these the days of Barack Hussein Obama.

It would be foolish to blame Obama alone for the ills that face our nation.  He is merely the tip of the iceberg, the manifested logical…

At the risk of sounding like an alarmist, again, here comes another dangerous tool aimed at avoiding Constitutional restrictions in the name of fighting terrorism.  It is clear that our Congressmen believe that the pesky Constitution severely limits them in their noble efforts to keep us poor defenseless little citizens safe.  Members of Congress vehemently defended their vote for NDAA by stating that…

The National Defense Authorization Act's latest consequence is the "modification" of the conditions for receiving imminent danger pay. How much money will this save the government? No figures have been released but the cost to the moral of our soldiers fighting and dying on the front lines is immeasurable.…

Pay close attention. This is how it…

Allow me to draw your attention to a very relevant article that was just posted on the Oath Keepers website. Oath Keepers are current and former military, law enforcement, reserves, national guard, firefighters and "just plain citizens" who either have or are willing to take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God". Members of this group pledge that,…

I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic

The above oath is taken by our military, elected officials and even immigrants becoming US citizens. At what point are our leaders…

The following legislation in the House of Representatives (HR 3166) and the Senate will give the government the authority to remove a United State national's citizenship:

Congressman Dent comments on the Enemy Expatriation Act (H.R. 3166), bipartisan legislation he introduced on Wednesday, October 12, 2011, with Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA). A companion bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate…

President Obama has sign the NDAA into law today (December 31, 2011). His reasons for signing this legislation after pledging to veto it are given below. He does state:

Moreover, I want to clarify that my  Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American…

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was approved by the Senate on December  15th (the Bill of Rights Day). This legislation will federalize the National Guard, eliminate posse comitatus and may allow the federal government to suspend US…

The new spending bill passed by Congress has a provision to defund enforcement of the incandescent light bulb until October 1, 2012. This is being hailed as a victory for the Republican party. As usual, I have some questions concerning this "victory".

1. Since the incandescent light bulb is still illegal as of January 1, 2012, who is going to sell them?
2. Will there be repercussions for vendors who did sell them once funding is put into…
