The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

Acting as if some extreme leftist clique has somehow duped the American public into giving the executive branch to an inexperienced, unknown commodity backed-up by a shoot-from-the-lip knee-jerk liberal with a rubber-stamp Read the rest of this entry »
What’s the difference between…
What’s the difference between nationalistic and federalist views of the federal government? Is there a difference? Does this change anything that congress does? What’s the conservative viewpoint?
Time to turn Back
Identifying oneself with the Conservative Party can often bring forth a barrage of comments that we, as Conservatives, are a “party of the past”, that we are “always looking back, never forward”, and so on. This is probably meant as criticism, but the truth of the matter is that there are periods in history where retreat was, and is, smart. And not just in warfare. Read the rest of this entry »
