First Principles
Conservatives in Name Only
The term “CINO” may be just what we need to sort the wheat from the chaff in political philosophy in America, just as “RINO” helps us understand American party politics.
Where Have We Placed Our Faith?
Instead of worshipping at the feet of political elites and offering our own freedoms as sacrifice, we must place our faith in the almighty Creator once more.
Addressing the Corruption of Power, Not Promoting Fatalism
The advancement of technology has tended to make us less patient and less willing to take the time to consider why those vital limits to power were set down as they were in the Constitution.
Laws of Nature, Not a State of Nature
If we cannot reconcile progress with preservation, if we believe the two are irreconcilable, we cannot be a nation of Hamiltonian powers and Jeffersonian rights.

Thank You For Smoking
By shuffling off early, we smokers are doing the ingrates a small favor. You can live as long as you like, as long as you don’t like living.
Counterfeit Civics
“Educating for American Democracy” is the return of Common Core under a new label, this time applied to history and civics. America can only restore its civics education by rejecting EAD.
The Moral and Religious Case Against Unconditional Love
If people are loved no matter how immorally they act, love becomes the one thing in life that is completely divorced from morality. Unconditional love makes love amoral.
Grievance and Forgiveness or Civil Strife
