Is America Headed Towards Another Civil War?
It seems that forces within this country are hell bent on rendering America in two once again. Extremist groups, some with the backing of the media and academia seem intent on exploiting our political divide for their purposes. Do you think America is headed towards a second Civil War?
Libertarians are Cool on Kavanaugh
Liberals don't like Kavanaugh, they are deathly afraid of him overturning Roe v. Wade, and would prefer a justice who believes in a "living Constitution". Conservatives like him because they think he won't legislate from the bench. Libertarians are concerned that he will opt for an interpretation of the Constitution that favors the government over individual rights.
It’s OK to Love America
To hear it from some people, you'd think that America was a terrible place with a terrible history with few redeeming qualities. Some of their points are valid, but they do not give a balanced perspective on our nation. Our Founding Fathers were men of wisdom and courage who sacrificed much and were prepared to give, even more, even their lives if necessary for us to gain our independence. That spirit of sacrifice, of putting liberty and freedom above our own lives and fortunes carries on to this day.
Happy Independence Day 2018!
American exceptionalism is real, celebrate it!
