Become a FanAmerica – Land of the Free?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013We may like to call America “the land of the free,” but statistics prove otherwise. The good old USA is sinking in ratings that measure economic and personal freedom, but it can boast, by far, the world’s largest prison population per capita on earth. More people sit in local, county, state or federal prisons in [...]
Obama’s Drones – Coming to a Window Near You!
Tuesday, February 12th, 2013There are two Capitol Hills in America and last week they seemed far apart on one issue. The better known hill is in Washington, D.C., which has served as American media shorthand to describe the U.S. Senate and House ever since congressmen first met in sessions on the Hill in 1800. The other Capitol Hill [...]
The Only Way to End U.S. Taxes

How to Counter American Pessimism

Democracy’s Real Laboratories: States of the Union
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Shades of 1861 and the bombardment of Fort Sumter, less than two weeks after President Obama won re-election by a slim 51% margin last November, petitions were filed on the White House website from all 50 States seeking secession from the federal Union. Started by one petition to secede from Louisiana, within a week over [...]
Inauguration Day: Pray that God Will Bless America
Monday, January 21st, 2013Fifty-seven times in American history the oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” has been administered to a president, most usually in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Government Wants Your Private Retirement Pension!
Thursday, January 17th, 2013Think of the number $17.5 trillion – that’s the total value of all U.S. private pensions, more than 25% of it in personal individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Is it just a coincidence that this number is close to the fast-growing U.S. national debt, which today stands at an alarming $16.5 trillion? And that figure is [...]
Truth and Consequences
Wednesday, January 9th, 2013The Wall Street Journal, last week, noted rather astutely: “One of Mr. Obama’s political gifts is that he can sound so plausible describing the opposite of his real intentions.” That is a gentlemanly way of saying the president of the United States often lies – either intentionally or perhaps pathologically. I don’t know about you, but [...]
Why it’s the Year of the Snake
Monday, December 31st, 2012Just before President Obama jetted off to Hawaii and the U.S. Congress broke up for its short Christmas recess on Thursday, Dec. 28, the U.S. Senate debated renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It’s not for nothing the Chinese calendar calls 2013 the Year of the Snake. FISA allows government spying on almost [...]

Tuesday, December 25th, 2012Today’s Comment is by SAINT LUKE, the Apostle, 2:1-20, with a wish for a very Merry Christmas from all of us at The Sovereign Society.
