  • Educating the Defenders of Liberty - By Alan Keyes - December 17, 1999 - "The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is in jeopardy these days -- dangerously so. The purpose of the Second Amendment is to ensure that we will remain an armed people, able to defend our liberty..." - Originally published on WorldNetDaily.com
  • Defending the Declaration - By Alan Keyes - November 19, 1999 - "Last week I pointed out that Christians bear a special responsibility to labor in the field of American politics because of the providential connection between the Christian vocation and the fundamental principles of American life. This week I want to lay out in more detail the presentation of moral truth that people of faith should make in our politics..." - Originally published on WorldNetDaily.com
  • Preaching the Declaration - By Alan Keyes - November 12, 1999 - "Do Christians have a vocation in American politics? A frequent answer recently has been that they do not, because politics is not a means to salvation, and anyway politics and religion are separate in America... Christian entry into politics is in fact necessary, at least for those in a position to do so, as part of our effort to fulfill a key element of our Christian vocation, the challenge of loving our neighbor..." - Originally published on WorldNetDaily.com
  • Independence Day, Every Day - By Alan Keyes - July 9, 1999 - "No doubt because of the uproar that would have resulted from losing a day of vacation, this year's Fourth of July celebration was moved to July 5. One result was that many people had to think a bit more than usual about the significance and nature of the holiday -- after all, there must be more to it than the Fourth if we can celebrate it on the Fifth..." - Originally published on WorldNetDaily.com

  • Tradition without Religion is Empty - By Dr. Andrew Seeley - The Grinch, not Santa, has come to Ventura, and this time he's more threatening than ever. Stealing Christmas was not enough to satisfy his shrunken heart; this year, the Grinch (played by Pierpont Elementary School Principal Lee Warner) stuffed his sleigh with Halloween, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, in fact, every holiday. No celebrating these festivals at Pierpont. Too disturbing, too distracting, too religious...
  • McKinley? Why McKinley? - By Richard Ferrier and David Quackenbush - August 6, 1999 - "The source and direction of the amorphous gales filling the sails of the good ship George W. got a little clearer this week. It turns out that the way to understand the George Bush campaign is to spend some time recalling the lessons of what George W's father might have called "the McKinley thing." The Washington Post reported that "the party of Lincoln and Reagan has gone dizzy" over William McKinley, and that the "swami of McKinley Mania" is none other than chief Bush campaign strategist Karl Rove..." - Originally published on WorldNetDaily.com
  • Introducing FoundingFather.com - By Claremont Institute - March 19, 2001 - America's Founders believed that limited, constitutional government, and the free society it gives rise to, demands the highest kind of civic education and civic virtue among its citizens. We agree. Unfortunately, civic education today is in a state of decline...

  • Drowning in 'Constitutional Rights' - By Mark Trapp - September 2, 2000 - In China last month, a group of government "family planning" officials pulled a newborn baby boy from its family and drowned him in a nearby rice field. This murder was committed in furtherance of China's "one-child policy." You see, the Chinese government has decreed that families may have only one child each. Apparently, exceeding these government-set limits can result in drastic consequences. Thus, when this peasant woman had the awful temerity to become pregnant with her fourth child, the Chinese government decided that enough was enough...
  • Deadbeat Dads of the World, Unite! - By Mark Trapp - 2001 - I've always been a solid pro-life guy. For me, it is simply a matter of common sense. An unborn baby is undeniably an innocent human life, and should therefore be respected and protected. Furthermore, the Declaration of Independence holds out as a "self-evident" truth the fact that "all men are created equal" and "that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights," chiefly the right to life...
  • Planet of the Apes? - By Mark Trapp - October 5, 1999 - There is a strange congruence between the views of those who advocate animal rights and those who push for abortion rights. Peter Singer, the newly installed Ira W. DeCamp Profesor of Bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values, epitomizes the logical outcome of these positions taken to their extreme. Professor Singer and others who feel like him believe that humans have an obligation to treat their pets better than their children. In other words, Cheetah has more inherent worth than Tarzan...
  • Natural Un-born Killers - By Mark Trapp - February 13, 2001 - What is the difference between a baby an hour before birth, and an hour after? Why can't a mother decide that her three-day old son, or ten-year old daughter is no longer wanted, and pay someone to kill them? This might be called the post-birth abortion, and it may be the next new constitutional right dreamed up by the Supreme Court...
  • Addicted to Abortion - By Mark Trapp - May 25, 2001 - Last week in Conway, South Carolina, Regina McKnight was convicted of homicide by child abuse for killing her unborn daughter by smoking crack cocaine while pregnant. She was sentenced to twelve years in prison. Many supporters of abortion are worried that this conviction may place in jeopardy their raison d' etre...
  • Spoiled by Freedom - By Mark Trapp - June 25, 2001 - Tennessee State Representative Henri Brooks, a black woman, refuses to pledge allegiance to the American flag...
