Chancellorsville
Here lies in sultry grave The last full breath of freedom’s brave. Her last great breath that heaven gave, Was taken fro’ at Chancellorsville. The scores of soldiers lives well spent, Went to her bosom which hell hath rent. Their final hour, their cries forth sent, Was gallant spilled at Chancellorsville. The finest Christian which… Continue reading Chancellorsville
A Citizen
Hark muse do tell t’what m’eyes do grasp,Whose shoulders broad, whose hands a’clasp,The sword and shield, for freedom wield,And life a’pleged; a citizen.Here no mere man astride our road,A priest, a king, a man of old.No subject he, but to the Lord,He rules himself, by God adored.Where go ye sir, with shouldered gun?From mortal duty,… Continue reading A Citizen
De Amicitia
The law of life is change. That is what they say. And erstwhile still this young, It seems to be that way. Put not your trust in princes, For riches lead astray. The law of life is change, That is what I now say. A good friend never easy, For that one you must pray.… Continue reading De Amicitia
The Third Amendment and Problem of The Police State
The Third Amendment is one of the most overlooked amendments to the Constitution. Unlike the previous series of articles concerning the Second Amendment, the technical wording of the Third Amendment does not seem on its face to be being actively violated by any governmental institution in our day. Most people would think, perhaps rightly so,… Continue reading The Third Amendment and Problem of The Police State
The Devil Eats Human Flesh
“S’el fu si bel com’ elli è ora brutto, e contra ‘l suo fattore alzo le ciglia . . .” The recent very strange admission of Hollywood actress Megan Fox that both she and her boyfriend, rapper “Machinegun Kelley,” consume each other’s blood ritualistically seems, besides extremely disturbing on a superficial level, contradictory to the… Continue reading The Devil Eats Human Flesh
Inside Pandora’s Box . . . a Pill
Poor Pandora. She didn’t know when she sought after the knowledge of what lay hidden inside of the box she had been given by Zeus, she would unleash all the ills and evils that the world knows today; death, suffering, greed, envy . . . and pride. In the ancient Greek myth of Pandora’s box,… Continue reading Inside Pandora’s Box . . . a Pill
“The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed:” The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
Part III The wording of the Second Amendment speaks for itself in the context of the founding generation’s aversion to a standing army. Their aversion came not simply as a result of their experiences with the British army which was maintained during times of peace. Indeed, their aversion was part and parcel of their political… Continue reading “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed:” The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
“Being Necessary to the Security of a Free State:” The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
Part II What Blackstone articulated in his treatises on the laws of England was put into practice in the colonial governments before the revolution. None of the colonies had standing armies or even standing militias but had the military defense their societies needed built into the social structures. Much as the original military defense of… Continue reading “Being Necessary to the Security of a Free State:” The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
Jeffersonianism Be Damned!: The Case of Pastor James Coates
The recent arrest of Grace Life Church pastor James Coates in Alberta is not just a travesty because it violates freedom of religion in Canada, but because it is a harbinger of the church to come. From mandatory mask mandates to the banning of indoor church services what we are seeing is the destruction of… Continue reading Jeffersonianism Be Damned!: The Case of Pastor James Coates
“A well regulated Militia”: The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
Part I: Where Did the Right to Bear Arms Originate? Few articles or clauses in the Constitution have generated more debates over the last century than the 2nd Amendment. Out of all of the freedoms in the Bill of Rights, the 2nd Amendment has definitely been seen to be the most irrelevant, backward, and obnoxious to… Continue reading “A well regulated Militia”: The 2nd Amendment and the Purpose of the Founders
