I’ve written in the past about existential issues – policy questions that settle the political debate for many Americans. Some focus on Second Amendment rights, others on taxes or religion. Abortion – reproductive health care – is one of the big ones. Most activists frame the abortion discussion in terms of rights. The pro-life side […]

But the Virginia courts have suddenly been dealt with a number of cases discussing these clauses that forbid legal contests over what […]

Progressive Stan Scott v. Libertarian/Conservative Sandy Sanders! Next Friday, April 17, we’ll have what I called a written version of the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 – I am not you-know-who – it is just a reference to the STYLE of debating. It is Stan Scott, noted progressive and Democrat candidate for the 4th District state […]

Others should too! I want to make it clear: I am for Rep. Thomas Massie.

The Other Members of Congress Should Have Stayed In Town Until Business Was Done! So Stop Whining! Those words were my tweet back to the Congressman from Kentucky Thomas H. Massie.

No, and Neither Should Non-Members of Congress!
