VIDEO: Too Late To Apologize - A Declaration

We have to get back to the America that grew into the greatest country in history. This means electing people who love and respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they are written. We conservatives must search for new leaders; candidates who would step forward and say: “Give me a pen and I’ll sign right there under John Hancock!” Today both of these sacred American documents are under ferocious assault from a Marxist cabal bent on destroying them and rewriting every line. The Marxists are clear about what they want. Conservatives have to be equally clear about our...

The first Independence Day rolled unevenly across the country, prompting spontaneous celebrations and demonstrations. Today, of course, legislation is available for viewing throughout the process. But these days, one can hardly imagine a public declaration of the massive bills that govern our lives. Even Congress and the president can't be bothered to read them.

John Adans: Yesterday, the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, "that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." ...

by Mark Finkelstein September 8, 2006 - 08:53 Paul Krugman is right about one thing, "We are, finally, having a national discussion about inequality." This thanks to liberals such as himself who have dragged the issue front and center, using as their springboard statistics suggesting wages aren't rising as fast as profits or productivity. At the end of his subscription-required column of today, Whining Over Discontent, Krugman indulges in a bit of 'bring it on bravado', claiming that "[we liberals have] got the arguments, and the facts, to win this debate." But just which debate is he talking about? Let's...

In his book, “The Cube and the Cathedral,” Catholic scholar George Weigel explains why the proposed constitution for the European Union, a 70,000-word document, does not contain the word Christianity – in other words, why its framers deliberately ignored 1,000 years of European history. Weigel writes: “In the minds of many Europeans, Christianity was not simply a non-factor in the development of contemporary European public life; Christianity was (and is) an obstacle to the evolution of a Europe at peace, a Europe that champions human rights, a Europe that governs itself democratically.” This also explains the Judeo-Christophobia of the U.S....

The late Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn once wrote, "If we call the American statesmen of the late eighteenth century the Founding Fathers of the United States, then the Pilgrims and Puritans were the grandfathers and Calvin the great-grandfather . . . though the fashionable eighteenth century Deism may have pervaded some intellectual circles, the prevailing spirit of Americans before and after the War of Independence was essentially Calvinistic." Religion, and a particular one at that, was a pervasive influence in the founding of America. Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 34 were Anglican, thirteen were Congregationalists, and there...
