May 25, 2009 - Many years ago, when I was in high school, I ran into kind of a strange, lonely, muscular young man with a keen intellect and a quick and inquiring mind. He was full of life and future promise. Many nights we would sit in his 1940 coup until well after midnight, [...]

May 25, 2009 - On Memorial Day I like to reflect on a few of my buddies who never made it back from Viet Nam.
Bobby Case never made it out of our tractor after hitting a land mine. The Amphibian tractor burned for two days, Bobby was burnt alive.
After being pinned down on a road [...]

There is a reason why up until now I have avoided discussing in any detail the particulars of the Constitution itself. My purpose in doing so was to ensure you had, at least, a basic understanding of the how and why it came to be written, and the difficulty in getting the states to ratify [...]

May 25, 2009 - I have this theory that every so often governments go insane.

May 20, 2009 - I predict that Hillary Clinton will be Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court. If not this time, she will most certainly get it the next time around.
Why?
During the elections, a mysterious transition occurred. Hillary went from slinging brickbats one day to being submissive and agreeable to everything Obama said the next – [...]

May 20, 2009 - As my last essay explained, the Constitution had been ratified by the required number of states. However to convince enough states to agree to the ratification the Federalists had made a promise to come up with a Bill, enumerating certain rights that were to be considered sacrosanct, rights which the government [...]

As I explained in my last segment, the Philadelphia Convention was, more often than not, nothing more than a heated argument over the size, scope, and structure of the proposed federal government.
Although the delegates were not unanimous in their approval, they did manage to come up with the Constitution as it exists today. Yet it [...]
