eddie says, "the rich and powerful designed and wrote the u.s. constitution." Fortunately, the value of a principle is in its demonstrable effects, not its source. The economic status, race, religious beliefs or sexual orientation of the founders has NO BEARING on the validity of the Constitution. The failure of the American system of government lies in the fact that since the ink dried on the Declaration and Constitution, collectivist thugs and scam artists have been undermining it. We've never even come close to living by its specific mandates, so condemning the document is bass ackwards.

Five Good Men

There are a few good men. And by “a few,” I mean five.

Certainly there are far more than five good men in America. But in the U.S. Senate, there are just five moral Republicans.

Who am I referring to? Let me introduce you to the five men in the Senate who stood their ground while their Republican peers (save two abstainers) voted for a fiscal cliff deal that essentially codifies theft:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Alabama), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).

I think conservatives and libertarians...
