Jack Kerwick denigrates neo-conservatism as a form of Enlightenment liberal rationalism; but Kerwick's embrace of Classical Conservatism, heavily dependent on tradition, offers little improvement.
One things voters can be assured of — Democratic "change" is always a very expensive proposition.
Each elected delegate is backed up by approximately 6,000 votes, while each Super Delagate is backed by . . . Bill Clinton.
So far as I am concerned, the People of the United States are free to decide who does and who does not live in their country – and that is how it should be.
Nothing would serve the Islamic cause more effectively than a military confrontation between the West and Russia, and Russia has said that any breach on the NATO mandate on Kosovo would provoke an armed response.
Kosovo’s recognition by the United States and other European allies like Britain, Germany and France has handed to Islam a victory it has been denied for the last millennium – an Islamic foothold in Europe.
If McCain wins the presidency, I fear it will be the end of the Republican Party as a home for conservatives.
When you refuse to acknowledge the enemy for fear of offending people, by definition, you cannot know whether you are triumphing over the enemy.
If John McCain is to be believed, the torture that our servicemen and women have endured is the fault of the US military itself.
Why is it that every new "right" seems to cost an extraordinary amount of money.
Ron Paul did not reinvent the wheel with his Principles of Freedom; he was simply restating the thinking which prevailed when the United States declared independence, and subsequently drew up the Constitution.
The Iraqi and Afghani constitutions contain the foundations for these states to transition smoothly to Fundamentalist Islamic States, once the American military presence has ended.
The Ten Principles do not look to government to bestow on us certain freedoms; instead, they define the extent to which each and every individual would agree to limit and modify their freedom by consenting to the Ten Principles, and thus the obligations that attach to those Principles.
Anyone contemplating joining in a union to create a new human being has an obligation to ensure that the other party to the union will honor the obligations which will attach to the union, and attach to the creation of human life.
Those who create new life have an obligation not to kill or harm that new life, to protect that new life, and to provide for it, and from emerges the general Principle that we should not use or threaten violence against others.
No person, group of people, or government, can force another person to form a union with someone they don’t want to form a union with, and likewise, neither can anyone force another person to fulfill the only discernable purpose of life by creating new life. However, those who engage in the act to create new […]
The only discernable purpose of life that everyone could agree on is the perpetuation of human life itself. Because, whatever else any individual, or group of individuals, wants to do with their own life, they need to have life in the first place.
People in a natural state of equal freedom would only agree to surrender such part of that freedom they enjoy in order to collectively protect that freedom, not to surrender it to the will and determination of the majority. The first principle that can be derived from the condition of equal of freedom is: no person, group […]
John Locke claimed that men would give up their natural state of equal freedom to be subjected to government. But placing government in the hands of a majority, and endowing it with absolute authority to use force, makes it impossible to remove government so long as it attracts majority support, no matter how much it tramples […]
