I met my neighbor Rus Walton in 1974 before a financial disaster moved us from our lovely country home near Sacramento. We also enjoyed some of Governor Ronald Reagan’s staff. Rus gave me a copy of his new book, “One Nation Under God.” Rus ran The Plymouth Rock Foundation for many years and was a noted Christian speaker and prolific writer.
People of faith have understood the principle of subsidiarity for a long, long time. It just means taking personal responsibility. When needed, the hierarchy of assistance offered or given begins with the family; then the community; the state; the national government, and in major disasters, the nations. Key to subsidiarity is the higher up the ladder help comes from, the less time the higher entity is involved. Coupled with the solidarity of “e pluribus unum” a successful society is created and maintained. As “progressives” gained power, their penchant for top down control … Continue Reading:Ignore subsidiarity, pay the price

“Politics and religion don’t mix” is an ill-conceived America adage that has been passed from generation to generation. It is false an ideology and an essential reason why America, the greatest nation on earth has fallen to its knees spiritually, morally, and economically.
The Founding Fathers never envisioned an America where the Bible was out-of-bounds when defining public policy. They unabashedly called upon the name of the Lord God Almighty for His providence and applied His principals when forming the Constitution of the United States of America.
Their words speak for themselves:
• George Washington: ”Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.
• Benjamin Franklin: “”I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of … Continue Reading:Politics and Religion Do Mix –

Let us begin by defining who we are in terms of convictions and goals; the enemy in terms of how they are manifest. We are a contemplative, geographically disparate coalition of like-minded individuals seeking restoration of our Country by attending the Constitution, a people prepared to sacrifice, using, but not limiting ourselves to the peaceful ballot box, taking as literal the words and wisdom of Jefferson, Adams and Madison.
We are humble servants, a conduit for a future generations lifeblood; an arrogant yet factually accurate statement. We are versed in the documents giving birth to our Constitution, namely the Federalist Papers, vehemently dispelling the notion of an over reaching Federal government, taxation, regulations and denial of individual liberties. We indeed hold certain truths to be self-evident, defending our borders against enemies, foreign and domestic, honoring sacrifices made by our fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters in uniform.
A macro examination yields … Continue Reading:Reflections On the Battlefield: The Enemy Within and How To Overcome

With the broad and deep attack on our values and Constitution by the Administration and its handlers, we must restore our armor against the snares of the evil that swirls through our halls of government. Oaths to uphold and protect the Constitution are laughed at and Judeo-Christian values vilified. More than politics, it’s spiritual warfare!
Here are a few simple observations that a few of us might grasp and try to understand:
1. The Declaration of Independence sets the spiritual, moral and philosophical base of the Constitution. It also warns of “pretended legislation” and the “sending out of agents to eat out the peoples’ substance.”
2. Political Correctness is Academia’s contribution to arrogance and ignorance. Free speech and free exchange of ideas are lost. There is nothing in PC that exudes love, only a failed attempt at sensitivity and compassion to control critical thinking and true charity.
3. The Principles of Subsidiarity … Continue Reading:Simple Values for Politicians and the People Who Vote for Them

Apart from not having the first delegate commitment, exactly what have “victories” in Iowa, Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota acknowledged?
First: that participants in caucuses are underwhelmed to voice their solidarity with their higher ground constituents. This “group think” forum is void, by necessity, of critical thought. This is not to say that the caucus forum is the antithesis of the primary process. It is always much easier when espousing your “heartfelt commitment” to an issue to take the high road when exposed to the crowd in a non-binding farcical display. These same “voters” will doubtlessly “rethink” that stance when confronted with the isolation of a voting booth. It’s easy to sound righteous in a public forum. Even easier when that cry is meaningless. It’s an entirely different matter when the fate of one’s country hangs in the balance.
Second: that voters will turn out when a perceived mandate is on … Continue Reading:The InSantorum illusion
