What we do today shapes our future; similarly, what we do shapes the country, and what the country does shapes the future of the world. Decreased freedom and the sacrilege of the constitution defile what our founding fathers intended for our nation to be. As a result, we are propelled on a slow but constant [...]

I went home last week for Thanksgiving break to find a surprise waiting for me - a letter from Selective Service. Apparently I’d failed to register for Selective Service and was in danger of prosecution if I did not respond within 10 days. The registration for the draft, essentially - if it was ever needed, [...]

It’s been a few weeks since Barrack Obama won the Presidency, and already we’re seeing signs of his pro-government, socialistic tendencies.

Many times, with the increased legislation and laws, it apparently creates more problems than it solves. It seems, as of late, that the federal government intends to continue policing morality.

The issue of the drinking age has recently come to public attention once more. Over 100 college presidents are calling for lawmakers to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18. The argument that many presidents of the 100 colleges, including presidents from Duke, Dartmouth, and Ohio State use, is that the current age encourages [...]

A recent Zogby poll shows that 55% of Americans think Bob Barr should be included on the national debates. He has also been polling around 6% nationally.
