The Founders and National Debt
July 25th, 2019 8:19 PM
The Founders of the United States of America warned against massive federal debt, but, to our detriment, their political descendants are not paying attention.

May 29th, 2019 6:45 PM
The favorite leftist tool for the attack on our nation's founding is that slavery was sanctioned.

Frederic Bastiat, a French economist and member of the French National Assembly, lived from 1801 to 1850. He had great admiration for our country, except for our two faults -- slavery and tariffs.

It's Our Constitution -- Not Kavanaugh
September 12th, 2018 11:45 PM
One of the best statements of how the Framers saw the role of the federal government is found in Federalist Paper 45, written by James Madison, who is known as the "Father of the Constitution": "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be…

Yes, the Electoral College Still Works
November 16th, 2016 5:29 PM
What would the Founders think of presumptive President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral vote victory, earned in the face of a popular vote loss? Hint: It’s not what many media commentators would have you believe. We can find a small clue to the Founders’ feelings in something Benjamin Franklin said as he left the Constitutional Convention. As delegates departed from the old Pennsylvania State House…

March 14th, 2016 1:08 PM
George Washington, our first president, is probably our greatest and most decent statesman. We celebrate Washington's Birthday each February. But March 16th marks the birthday of probably the second-most important and decent American, James Madison.

April 1st, 2015 7:17 AM
In a commentary masquerading as a news brief, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley took multiple shots at Indiana and its Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on Tuesday by complaining about the bill’s length and indirectly using the First Amendment to support opponents of the law: “We may have found the reason for all this confusion.” He complained it contains “eleven paragraphs, 62 lines,…
