Allen Keller: Richard Dawkins and the Death of the West

private property Alabama News
Col. John Eidsmoe: Decalogue principle – respect for property

Property is an extension of the person; we use property for self-expression, for creativity and for productivity. And property in the hands of private individuals is a bulwark against tyranny. If the government owns all property, it makes resistance nearly impossible.

U.S. Rep. Aderholt: Alabama leaders join forces to address migrant influx caused by Democrats' open-border policies

If you want to know who is in charge, simply look for who benefits the most from prevailing double standards – especially those beneficiaries who reap their reward without hint of embarrassment, guilt or shame – even after being found out. 

Alabama political news berlin airlift Alabama News
Phil Williams: The Communist States of America

Communism stifles joy, crushes the human spirit, and abolishes benevolence. You are happy when the state tells you to be happy, you must think like the collective, and there is no reason to give unto others because the state will do that for you.

DNC, Kamala Harris Alabama News
Ashley Carter: Undermining the family and celebrating the culture of convenience at the DNC

Alabama political news 10 commandments movie Alabama News
Col. John Eidsmoe: Whose 10 Commandments should we display?

When we display the 10 Commandments in schoolhouses or courthouses or public parks, leave them unnumbered and let them speak for themselves. This won’t satisfy the critics, but it will leave them with one less leg to stand on.
