It was a glorious morning. The sun was shining and the wind was from the southeast. Up especially early, a tall bony, redheaded young Virginian found time to buy a new thermometer, for which he paid three pounds, fifteen shillings. He also bought gloves for Martha, his wife, who was ill at home. » read more »

Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution starts:

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. (emphasis added)

Notice the plurality used to reference "United States". The United States are not the federal government but the 50 sovereign states themselves. The United States are not synonymous with the federal government. The United States are a federal collection of otherwise free and independent states. » read more »

I decided to participate in Voxiversity III^*, which is a study of Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. In the comments after the first "class" (for lack of a better word), someone posted pieces of an essay written by Benito Mussolini containing his (Mussolini's) definition of fascism. » read more »

I recently read Shocked By the Bible^* by Joe Kovacs. In its pages, I found an interesting claim. It involves the ascension of Elijah, described in 2 Kings, chapter 2. Kovacs' claim is that Elijah was not translated directly to the third heaven to be with the Lord, as is commonly held. » read more »

Sabers are only now rattling in response to the prolonged tyrannies of the fedgov. State legislatures' resolutions, "tea parties", etc., are merely the beginnings of popular groans against corruption and totalitarianism. As intellectually and morally retarded as our society is, I wonder how long it will take before such impotent grumblings grow to calls for secession and then to rebellion and revolution. » read more »

Naturalists—those religious fanatics who invent all kinds of wacky "theories" in futile attempts to deny the historical truth recorded in the Bible—have again had their stupidity flaunted before the world. The asteroid-killed-the-dinosaurs fantasy has again failed to pan out. The impact crater in Mexico is predating the mass extinction by a long time. » read more »

As we watch the power-grabs of the Executive Branch, we see the power of Congress declining. Even in the war in Iraq, Congress failed to exercise their Constitutional authority—nay, duty—to declare war, preferring to delegate it to the President (illegally, of course). I see article after article, column after column, describing how the Chief Executive and his minions are leaving Congress out of the business of running the nation [into the ground]. » read more »

When George Muller was younger, he started going to church, even more than just once a week. Those sermons really spoke to him. He started praying all the time, for things like food, and money. When he cut off all ties between himself and his father, he had to get money somewhere. But he had no job, or even any offers. So he decided to pray for God’s help in finding a job and making money for food and bills. Then, a miracle happened. George found a job and a Christian partner as well. He married Mary soon, and they were on their way to be missionaries. » read more »

Walter Williams does an excellent job of exposing the hypocrisy of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

"What comes around, goes around." "You will reap what you sow."

I've been pondering both the history and future of our country, and I cannot help but wonder if we are reaping what we've sown. I'm not talking about how our Declaration and Constitution were created by God-fearing men who believed that the Bible should be the moral compass of our country's framework. » read more »
