A “light”-hearted look at the rank corruption in the Obama administration.

In honor of Constitution Day, some thoughts on the indelible written word.

‘Compromise’ for its own sake sounds like a higher moral value, and we seem to hold it up as an example of civility and progress, but if evil is evil, and good is good, then isn’t a dilution of “good” for the sake of compromise, actually not a high moral value at all?

WWTFT’s very own James Best has just released his latest novel, the third in his popular Steve Dancy series. It is available in both print and downloadable editions.

While it’s a good thing that we have a government of laws and not of men, the federal government has taken this to extremes with the sheer volume of legislation and enabling regulations passed each session.

One of the “Essential Documents” featured in The Patriot’s History Reader, is President Jackson’s veto message. Jackson’s words are perhaps more applicable to today than for his own time.

The limit of executive power under the Constitution and the prerogatives of the states in a federal system were vexing in 1832 and have continued to be so. John C. Calhoun’s arguments regarding nullification resonate today.

Calvin Coolidge deserves a good deal more attention. Strangely, he is not much more than a footnote in most history textbooks. He exists in the education system as a kind of witless boob Neanderthal relic of the pre-Depression 20’s. Progressives can’t refute his argument, so they seek to shut Silent Cal up instead.
