Twenty five years later I still can’t get used to saying Arizona Cardinals — or St. Louis Rams, for that matter I know this confusion has a long history but I just don’t think it’s healthy.

Maryland, my Maryland

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Michael Anthony Peroutka

In the Spring of 1861, there was a strong secessionist sentiment sweeping through Maryland. Maryland citizens were becoming weary of the Federal Government violating the Constitution with its unlawful spending, its dangerous military build-up, and its usurpation of authority that the Constitution specifically reserved to the State of Maryland and to her people.

Abraham Lincoln decided to route federal troops through Baltimore on their way to attack Virginia and other states that had already seceded.

Right v. Right

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Michael Anthony Peroutka

Does it seem to you like no matter what candidate you vote for and no matter who gets elected, nothing ever changes for the good?

In fact, doesn’t it seem like no matter if we elect Republicans or Democrats, or liberals or conservatives, or right wingers or left wingers, socialism becomes more entrenched – the welfare state continues to grow exponentially – liberty further diminishes – property rights disappear – the economy weakens – the value of the dollar drops – and on and on?

Are you starting to feel like there might be an aspect or two to this whole government game that is rigged against us?

  • What is this American View?

    Briefly stated, "The American View" of government is that there is a God, the God of the Bible, our rights come from Him, and the purpose of civil government is to secure our rights.

    There are many views of government, from equally numerous world views. Americans are blessed that our Founders' Biblical Worldview informed their political philosophy and the framing of our founding documents.
