Confusing the snowflakes

At the risk of melting a few more snowflakes, herewith the following short, heartbreaking thoughts.

Vladimir Lenin, shouting "Forward!" in a classic propaganda poster. Obama imitates him in propaganda and disinformation. Saul Alinsky said it, also. Forward into what? Into socialism. Into an era of comrades, but no friends.

Saul Alinsky said it best

History is replete with a plethora of infamous characters who lead many astray. To be sure, they are as brilliant as they are conniving, and they...

Donald Trump (now President) addresses his fans. Note to Michael Horton: Donald Trump never called himself Messiah. The one who did, trashed Christian values, and you said nothing. But now comes the counter-coup against Obama. But one thing more: is Trump the antichrist, or will he protect us from him? More recently: herewith a call to action to support a President who stands against oppression.

Execrable coup–exhilarating counter-coup

In 2009, America experienced a genuine coup d’état, exquisitely formulated and flawlessly executed after decades of planning by the socialists, communists, and jihadists among us who...

Politicians betray America almost as Judas did.

American politicians: yes, we are corrupt

“You can’t get rich in politics unless you are a crook.” So said President Harry S. Truman. Few politicians were as forthright as he in this...

Donald Trump accepting the 2016 Republican nomination. A vote for him was a vote for freedom. He owes his victory to the electoral college. He also now leads the armies of freedom in their war against the socialists. But he needs to learn now: the other side are playing without rules. His latest stand against illegal immigration further illustrates the problem. More recently: Trump should bury the DACA order and leave it buried.

Electoral College: stroke of statecraft

“We too [in Israel] need an electoral college,” says Avi Berkowitz (Jerusalem Post December 11, 2016).

Flawed policies come from a flawed election system of proportional representation and endless coalition government. Israel turns out to be a democratically elected despotism. In fact its policies cast doubt on whether Israel is a Jewish State or not. A Prime Minister who changes this system can become truly great. But it means ditching Israel's democratic reputation. The Likud Party make it worse when, dependent on Arab votes, they let insurrection slide.

Election 2009 in Israel: manifest insanity

The results of the February 10, 2009 election contained an interesting twist relevant to this day.

Donald Trump has raised expectations. His State of the Union message satisifed some and raised others. To satisfy them, he must drain the swamp in and of the federal government itself. To make America great again he must re-establish the rule of law. Now he's taking a gamble--with tariffs.

Alexander Hamilton, who brilliantly explained the Commerce Clause and our Presidential system. He also saw the danger in a man without a theory. He is a prize example of American exceptionalism and the statesmanship that produced it. And also such things as the electoral college. Sadly, he also founded paper money, the bane of a free republic.

Electoral College – an important safeguard

Many have urged me to explain the Electoral College vs. popular vote provision of our Constitution and the reasoning behind it. Close analysis without biased political...

The Constitution, which sets forth the principle of rule of law, defines what is unconstitutional, and guarantees freedom of speech and other liberties of a Constitutional republic, and also describes the impeachment power. (How many know of the Jewish roots of this document?) Hypocrisy threatens Constitutional government. Could Israel use a constitution like this? More to the point: would a Convention of States save it, or destroy it? (Example: civil asset forfeiture violates the Constitution.) Quick fixes like Regulation Freedom Amendments weaken it. Furthermore: the Constitution provides for removing, and punishing, a judge who commits treason in his rulings. Furthermore, opponents who engage in lawfare against an elected President risk breaking the Constitution.
