Liberty, The Greatest Power on Earth – you no longer possess!

By: Paul Nally

The query has been posed, “Which Liberty may you yield and still claim to be free?”

The Second Amendment is an archaic hold-over from a time when ideas such as security and justice necessitated its use. Today it is useless as a means to such ends.

By: Randy Evans

As the primary election results in Georgia came in on May 20, Republicans in Washington, D.C., heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Monday is a national holiday created to remember the life and death of Dr. Martin Luther King. King’s life changed America and his assassination in 1968 stirred America as America had not been stirred since the Civil War, a war that was suppose to remove the shackles of slavery in America. Breaking slavery’s back required wise men, compromise, a new constitution, a Civil War, and the … Read more...
