Let Them Eat Persecution Complex!
French Court Decimates Right To Free Speech By Forcing Twitter To Identify “Anti-Semitic” Tweets This is by far the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Who gets to judge what is anti-Semitic? I sure hope it isn’t American neocons, because if it is, no tweets will ever see the light of day on Twitter outside the […]
Jefferson: All Men Are Created Equal - Obama: That’s Not Good Enough
In his 2nd inaugural address, Obama continued to flaunt his axiological misunderstanding of America’s founding doctrines. Obama conjures equal rights, an alien theory dis-kindred to greater than hexadecaroon degree of the equal protection guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. For reference, here’s the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and […]
In Which WaPo’s Greg Sargent Gets Pwned on 2nd Amendment/Constitution, Tucks Tail, Runs Away
Last Wednesday, I had an interesting and protracted “debate” on Twitter with Greg Sargent (one of many resident tyrants riding the Washington Post’s meager staff).

Federalism Follow-up
I know what you’re thinking. “After those three posts in that series (somewhere around 12,000 words, in total), you’re writing another piece on federalism?” Why, yes. Yes I am. And, if you haven’t seen the others, you should read Part 1 (Context), and Part 2 (Theory), and, most importantly, Part 3 (Practice). Based on the […]
Federalism: In Context, In Theory, and In Practice - Part 3
Part 3 - Practice This series began with a lengthy article exposing the latest attempt to circumvent the Constitution, under the rubric of “Progressive Federalism”. Another in-depth piece was posted yesterday, attempting to explain what Founding-era federalism actually is, as opposed to what we’ve been so carefully taught to believe. With that foundation laid down, […]
Federalism: In Context, In Theory, and In Practice - Part 2
Part 2: In Theory In Part One of this series, I laid out the case that federalism has been widely misconstrued, mercilessly ridiculed, and meticulously bastardized throughout the 20th century. This has culminated, in the past two years, with Heather Gerken’s “progressive federalism” lunacy (which I exposed in gory detail in that piece). The fact […]
