Is multiculturalism a good thing or a bad thing for our American society? by Michael Peroutka You might not realize it, but this is a very important question.  The current “politically correct” viewpoint argues that pluralism – the acceptance and celebration of differing religions, philosophies and ideologies -- contributes to the strength of America. You can see this in the widespread attempt to sanitize schools, courts and courthouses, and public buildings and public places

SHUTDOWN:  IS OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY “BROKEN”? by Michael Peroutka   With all the finger pointing between democrats and republicans over the "SHUTDOWN" of the national government, we have constantly heard that our government is "broken" and, of course, each party blames the other for causing the damage.   This got me to wondering:  "Is the system really "broken" as we are being told?  Or is our present Godless system of government simply working the way a Godless system works?

SHOW US THE LAW OR FREE KIM DAVIS by Michael Peroutka   This past Saturday, I had the great privilege of addressing a rally in support of Kim Davis.   Kim Davis is the elected clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky and she has been jailed by a federal judge for disobeying his order to her to issue marriage licenses to people of the same sex.   She refuses to do so.   Other speakers at the rally addressed the moral argument against her confinement.  That argument rests on the idea th

Roosevelt Revolution by Michael Peroutka “We have met the enemy…and he is us.” This is, perhaps, the most remembered phrase attributed to the cartoon character Pogo in a syndicated cartoon strip of the same name. Pogo was the invention of cartoonist Walt Kelly and first appeared 66 years ago, this week, on October 4 th , 1948. The phrase “We have met the enemy, and he is us” pretty well sums up the Kelly’s attitude toward the foibles of mankind and the nature of the human con

DO WE NEED A SECOND PARTY?  by Michael Peroutka When we hear political commentary today, we frequently hear the word “bipartisan” used in a positive sense. For example, “the bill received bipartisan support ”; or “the issue was studied by a bipartisan commission ”. Webster defines bipartisan as “cooperation and agreement between two major political parties”. This got me to thinking. It seems to me that from a legal, constitutional standpoint, the major parties cooperate and a

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NEW YEAR, GAY MARRIAGE IS STILL AGAINST THE LAW by Michael Peroutka Would you like a little good news for the New Year? Here it is: What some people call gay marriage (I have taken to call it sodomite unmarriage because I believe that is a more accurate description), is still against the law in Maryland. That’s what I said…gay marriage is still illegal in Maryland. “But Michael,” you say, “don’t you know that the Maryland legislature voted favorably for a pi

NO MATTER WHAT COURTS MAY SAY, MARRIAGE IS A BLESSING AND SODOMY IS A SIN by Michael Peroutka   Last week I heard a talk show host say that the “marriage issue” will eventually be settled in the courts.   Well if he’s talking about earthly courts, I don’t think so.   Here is the definition of marriage.  But, don’t take my word for it.  These are the Words of Christ as recorded in the 19 th Chapter of Matthew:   “Have you not read that He Who made them at the beginning ‘ma

LEARNING TO LIVE LIBERTY by Michael Peroutka Our twelve session course of study on the Constitution has now been presented to tens of thousands of Americans. The design of our course, using videos and student and teacher texts, makes it possible for any individual, or for any small or large group, to gain an essential understanding of law and liberty.  No prior legal knowledge is required. Anybody can do it.  Frequently, when a group completes our course, they will invite me

REALITY OR MAKE BELIEVE: CIVIL RIGHTS IN FERGUSON by Michael Peroutka If your home is like my home, you have a kitchen where you, among other things, prepare and maybe also eat your meals. Again, if you are like me, you, of course, stand and walk around on the floor of the kitchen and you don’t try to walk on the ceiling or on any of the walls.  And you don’t try to place, say, a bowl of soup on the wall because it would immediately spill to the floor. The very idea of tryin

DOES YOUR HEAD HURT? by Michael Peroutka When you hear politicians propose programs that are clearly unconstitutional, does it hurt your head? And as much as you may have an allegiance to one political party or another, have you finally come to the realization that both democrats and republicans promote agendas that are not only unconstitutional, but actually anti-American? For example, listening to one of the Republican presidential debates, every single candidate on the sta

MARYLAND BALLOT QUESTIONS?  JUST SAY NO by Michael Peroutka   In recent days you have heard many opinions regarding the 7 ballot questions which will appear statewide on election day, 2012.  In the next few seconds you will hear one more.   Generally speaking, from a Constitutional standpoint, most ballot question usually represent some government mischief – some lawlessness – that local government either has already done or wants to do and to blame it on you.   The seven qu

STEVEN BREYER DEMOCRACY by Michael Peroutka   I saw something today that just can’t go by without comment I learned today that Supreme Court Justice Steven G. Breyer has just written a new book. Before I tell you the title let me remind you that Steven Breyer once served as a clerk for a Supreme Court Justice Breyer was also an assistant for 2 U.S. Attorneys general He was a professor of law at Harvard University for over 25 years.
