Big Government Utopia, Obama Style

November 20, 2010

It has been said that every cloud has a silver lining. If there is a silver lining in the current liberal progressive cloud floating this country towards a social democracy, it is that we now have ample evidence allowing us to sketch what the current idea of a liberal utopia looks like. In the new […]

Conservatives, Defenders of Liberty

November 1, 2010

I would like to send a special thanks to my liberty-loving friend Dan Shippey, founder and President of the Breed’s Hill Institute, for inspiring this post. Dan introduced me to the idea of making the case for the “restoration of our foundation,” which, in my view would be based on a return to natural law in […]

Politics As “The Art of Compromise”

October 22, 2010

Politics is commonly called “the art of compromise.” The problem today, however, is that many politicians don’t agree on fundamental principles of government. Instead of disagreement on various distinctions within the framework of Constitutional principles, there is disagreement on the very role of the Constitution, which all politicians must take an oath to uphold and protect (shockingly, […]

“Falling” Into Moral Relativism

October 17, 2010

I have a couple of family members through marriage that grew up Catholic and attended Catholic schools. Personally I think Catholic schools are wonderful, but it is well known within the Catholic church that a high percentage of children who go to Catholic schools fall away from the Christian faith in adulthood. In fact, I […]

On Values (Oct. 9 Tea Party Speech)

October 9, 2010

Just last Saturday there was the One Nation rally on the National Mall in Washington, DC.  I don’t know how many of you have had the opportunity to see either photos or footage from the rally, but it represented dozens of liberal groups from across the country.  If you did, then you are probably just […]

The Case for Conservatism (Relax, You’re in Good Company)

September 19, 2010

I recently finished Benjamin Wiker’s 10 Books Every Conservative Must Read. This is a powerful book that I would argue is itself a candidate for the 11th book every conservative must read (albeit poorly titled, as all would profit). Wiker brings great clarity to what defines a conservative, providing insightful, brief synopses of 10 books […]

September 18, 2010

For those not familiar with the story, Ines Sainz, a sports reporter with TV Azteca, was at the New York Jets facility last weekend to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez. Reportedly, Sainz was “bombarded with catcalls and boorish antics” by some New York Jets players. Afterwards, Sainz stated that she felt “uncomfortable” in the team’s locker […]

A Proposal for Resolving Illegal Immigration

August 7, 2010

In my prolegomenon, I discussed the historical context of illegal immigration and my initial thoughts on the true nature of the problem. In this post I will offer my humble proposal for solving the immigration problem, after much reading and deliberation of what is a highly complex issue. Though highly complex, I believe this can […]

Prolegomenon on Solving the Illegal Immigration Problem: The Bracero Program

August 4, 2010

Yes, prolegomenon is a big word that I have always been impressed with. Basically, it is defined as a preliminary discussion introducing a piece of work that is of considerable length or complexity. So in this post, I won’t discuss how I believe we can resolve the illegal immigration problem, but my desire is to […]

Christians, Liberal Democrats, and Virtue

July 26, 2010

I will open this post with the following quote: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” – Benjamin Franklin This is a follow up to my previous post about Christians and liberal dogma. To begin, I want to point out something a […]
