A friendly Reminder

Peroutka Resolution Claims Constitutional Rights for the Unborn! by Jake MacAulay Does anyone doubt that American culture is in a downward spiral? Shootings in schools, attacks on police, misuse of authority by police, disrespect of teachers, disobedience by children of parents, drugs, gangs, violence…   Why is this happening?   There are many answers, but do these effects trace back to a common thread?   I think they might.   At the risk of over-simplicity, let’s try this ou

Government of the United States, How About Some Common Sense by Jake MacAulay   “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right…” So wrote Thomas Paine in a pamphlet called Common Sense, which aided the cause of American Independence with a logic and a passion that aroused public opinion to hot anger and a firm resolve to resist English tyranny.   Paine’s point is that no matter how long you have been doing a wrong thing, it is st

Are Un-American Youth Becoming a Trend? by Jake MacAulay On my travels throughout America, I have the privilege to speak to youth in public, private, and home schools and occasionally churches.  While touring in Iowa I had the chance to address a mixed crowd that included a high school church youth group.  My first thought when speaking to youth is, Awesome, I can teach and equip these kids with what they need to stand against the secularists in America’s current culture war.

The Shot Heard Round the World That Prevented Gun Confiscation in America by Jake MacAulay “What a glorious morning this is!” said Samuel Adams to John Hancock at the Battle of Lexington, Massachusetts, 243 years ago on April 19, 1775. It was the day of the “The Shot Heard Round the World”. Indeed, that first bloodshed in the American War for Independence was an extremely important event. Due to the modern day revisionist history tactics of education textbooks in America, we

Are Gun Control Restrictions Making the Law or Breaking the Law? by Jake MacAulay In the light of the still very recent calamitous shooting in Parkland, Florida, there has been continuous talk about the authority the U.S. government and its agencies have to restrict the use of individual firearms of American citizens. In my travels I hear individuals in airports, hotels, restaurants, and all over speaking about it. So I felt compelled to make a non-emotional, Constitutional p

The Constitutional Pardon of Joe Arpaio by Jake MacAulay Article 2, Section 2, of the United States Constitution defines one of a handful of powers the President has: “He shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”   The reason for the exclusion in cases of impeachment is because during the time of our founders, the English king had frustrated Parliament’s impeachment power by pardoning impeached off

In America Hate is Taught but The Bible is Not by Jake MacAulay I am sure by now you all are aware of the recent devastating event in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a 20 year-old, sin-possessed man named James Alex Fields, Jr. plowed his car through a crowd of demonstrators practicing their First Amendment right of assembly.   Following this godless event, President Donald Trump made the statement, “Racism is evil… Those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thug

Military Transgender Funding is Unconstitutional by Jake MacAulay   The Declaration of Independence gives us the fundamental philosophy of government in America.  As we say at Institute on the Constitution, the Declaration is the “why” document of American government juxtaposed with the Constitution, which is the “how” of American government.    The undeniable basic presupposition of the Declaration of Independence - which transcends all cultures and people groups unequivocal

The Democrat Platform Wants You to Pay for Murder! by Jake MacAulay   Abortion is illegal. And protecting, committing, funding, or participating in the act is criminal. Period.   I do not make this statement because the Constitution says it, but because God says it.   The Bible was the chief source of law and morality for the founders of our nation. They understood that God’s protective laws such as “thou shalt not murder” were not negotiable.    The truth of my assertion ca
