I am not a church going man, but I AM a God fearing man, I guess you could say. I can’t quote scripture, I can’t elaborate on the more subtle lessons of the Bible if I tried. But, I do know God exists, and I do know that we, as humans, were granted indelible rights [...]
(The Conclusion, Part 1 of 2) In Part 1 of this series, we delved into the nature of judicial tyranny, legislative malfeasance, executive fiat, and bureaucratic overreach. In Part 2, we highlighted a disturbing trend in modern America, where this extensive usurpation of the Constitution is seemingly dismissed or outright defended, albeit halfheartedly. And, mostly, unwittingly. [...]
The base is fired up! The fundraising numbers are astounding! The turnout at campaign stops has increased twenty-fold! The RNC Convention is going to be a time to party like it’s 1999! All these headlines and many more flooded the newsstands and right half of the interweb tubes over the past three weeks, as news [...]
I have come to the conclusion that the 1960s pretty much destroyed any semblance of cohesive “sisterhood” between various factions of women in America. Radical feminism of the time pit housewives against college attending girls. Being a mother was looked down upon. Writers like Alice Walker gave birth to a daughter, fellow writer Rebecca Walker [...]
Let me preface the rest of this article with the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Muslims. I call many friends. And see them as family. Had this tragedy happened at a mosque, it would have been equally awful. I seek not to compare or contrast the two faiths. Rather point out a [...]
Of Patriotism In Part 1 of this series, I discussed the US Supreme Court and their steady decades-long march toward full-on judicial tyranny. If you haven’t read it yet, please do. I’ll wait right here. In fact, I’ll go read it now, while you do the same. Alrighty, then. Now that we’re both all caught [...]
“Fuck you…. WAR!” —Andrew Breitbart, from the upcoming film, “Hating Breitbart” Andrew Breitbart understood it. We here at The Trenches believe we understand it. And it’s slowly becoming clear that many others within the world of online conservative activism understand it, as well. This is a war we’re in, a war for everything. And, for [...]
Part One: Of Penumbras Recently, the United States Supreme Court had two huge opportunities to reaffirm (or, rather, re-establish) our founding-era philosophy of Federalism. In both instances, they got caught with their emanations down, allowing their collective (and grossly deformed) penumbras to hang out in full public view. A more grotesque sight has not been [...]
Let me introduce myself. I’m nothing more than a liberty loving, America in my veins, small government, federalist at heart. I write, I organize, I stir the pot, but most of all I believe in the cause with all my heart. I’ve given my adult (and part of my teenage) life to politics and activism. [...]
It did not begin or end with these words, but July 4th, 1776 altered the course of History. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume [...]
