The Supreme Court, Not Supreme Wisdom
I am not a lawyer, but I have read the Constitution and I cannot find any indication that the Founding Fathers intended the guarantee of “equal protection of the laws” in the 14th Amendment to include same-sex marriage.

Mainstream Newspapers Dupe The Public On Gun Debate
It is a curious fact that mainstream newspapers consistently fail to provide their readers with logically sound arguments to support their case against civilian ownership of guns. Rather, these newspapers prefer to recite banal normative prescriptions, empty slogans, and vague statements devoid of any meaningful content. They take as a given that civilian gun ownership is untenable. And upon that faulty foundation they spout pious sentiments and posit specious…

Obama’s Master Plan With Eric Holder ~ SCOTUS
Last week, I discussed how I believe Rush Limbaugh was right in saying that Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation is not in any way a simple bon voyage.
