    With Memorial Day approaching Americans should be preparing to honor our veterans and military heroes currently fighting for us as well as remembering those we have lost.

    A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the beltway outside Washington DC.  Nothing had moved for 30 minutes.  Suddenly, a man walks up and taps on his window. The driver rolls it down and asks, "What's going on?" "Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million...

    This is a tough question but one that needs to be addressed. All you have to do is search this topic and just read the one liner’s that pop up. Things like “the world is doomed” and “total chaos” will come up almost immediately. The sad thing is that for most citizens t...

Obamacare is Upheld on the Anniversary of James Madison's Death

  • Posted by Tom Upton June 28, 2012 - Filed in History - 411 views

    On this day in 1836, the 5th President of the United States and an author of the Federalist Papers died at the age of 85.
     
    James Madison was one of the architects of our Constitution and a proponent of limited, sensible government. In a letter to Edmund Pendleton, Madison once warned that "If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one...."

     


     
    Today the Supreme Court affirmed that whatever congress does is constitutional, so long as there is financial reprucussions for not participating. This is the epitome of what Madison warned against.
     
    It should be food for thought that on the day that this ruling is handed down, one of the architects of our limited constitution died.  What would he say? What would he think?
