From George Washington’s farewell address: “Political factions may seek to obstruct the execution of the laws created by the government or to prevent the branches of government from exercising the powers provided to them by the constitution.

Ben Shapiro and Ana Kasparian on Civil Debate
We need way more of this in America. Too many of US are afraid to engage or we demonize those with whom we disagree. There is no way forward if we truly believe that those with different ideas are evil.

What’s Wrong America?
We live in the most accepting generation in American history, yet we have more suicide, mental illness, murder, and issues of self-acceptance than ever before.

Separation of Church and State
I believe in the separation of Church and State not because the Constitution supports it but because my faith supports it. When the Church and the State are married, the State gains even more power (which it does not need), and the Church becomes more tainted and corrupted by the power structure of the World.… Continue reading Separation of Church and State
