Love her or hate her, no one can question the ambition of Hillary Clinton. The woman set her sights very high and despite the accusations of corruption, and the e-mail scandal, she almost made it to the highest political office in the land. Two attempts at being president, and no wins. At least she can … Continue reading
The creators of the US Constitution should be considered a group of wise men. But in today’s ideologically charged atmosphere, where political correctness and Cultural Marxism reign, historical revision and reinterpretation have reduced Benjamin Franklin, James Madison and the rest as the supreme oppressors of the world. Even though they helped to create … Continue reading
Everyone knows that this presidential election will be one of the most contentious in U.S. History.

But ask anyone if they can list any of the other rights we have. Most Americans can’t. That’s why we’re slowly … Continue reading
Americans are a people of little faith – in government. And we should stay that way. In the past 16 years we’ve been lied to a lot. Remember when George Bush told us about the weapons of mass destruction being produced and hidden in the deserts of Iraq? We went to war, destabilized … Continue reading

The United States Constitution explains how our government is structured. It is split into three branches as everyone should know by the time they are in … Continue reading
