We as Americans have a tremendous regard and respect for the framers of our Constitution because it was they that laid the foundation stones for the greatest country on earth.  But on top of the many amazing aspects of the Constitution, one stands out as an act of wisdom and foresight that made sure the Constitution would remain a living document for centuries.  That was the provision of the

Sometimes when a country is just getting organized, its citizens are considered to be uneducated, out of touch or primitive.  But exactly opposite was the truth when the great American experiment began to take shape.  The world did not see America as provincial or simple and that is due to a large part to the work of the man many that many have called “The First American”.  That man was Benjamin

America has been part of some devastating battles over her long history.   World War I and World War II were tremendously difficult conflicts and ones that taxed the nation’s resources to the maximum.  But none of those conflicts can compare to The Civil War not only for the brutality and devastation of human life but in the damage to social fabric that was caused by that terrible conflict.

Americans have a unique vision of themselves and their role in the world.  Unlike perhaps any other peoples in history, Americans see themselves as people of destiny and a people who were put here to do something phenomenal and something significant for history and for all peoples of the earth.  This unique self-concept, sometimes perceived as arrogance, is deeply grounded in a set of archetypes

If you ask any student even in elementary school why the town of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is significant to American history, they will know the answer immediately.  They will know that this was the place that Orville and Wilber Wright made the first working airplane and discovered that man could fly.  Today, with thousands of airplanes taking to the sky at any given moment and the experience

I have been putting a lot of thought into whether or not to do a website devoted to the Civil War of the United States. It would be a site where the history is told through the words of the people who experienced it. Although the people who fought those battles long ago are no longer with us, there are plenty of books and documents in the public domain that were written by the participants. With

The mid-term elections are fast approaching and I just wanted to take the time out and encourage everyone to vote. If you are having primary or runoff elections, don't forget to get out and vote in those as well. The right to vote is one that has not yet been screwed with too much and we should take full advantage of it while we can and maybe by doing so we can elect people who will work to

The cartoon says it all...While the U.S. government bails out the big banks and auto makers, the small business owners (who create most of the jobs in this country) get screwed! Leave it to the Wizard of Id to put everything in perspective.

Who's to blame for the current economic crisis? Its a good idea to follow the money trail and see where it leads.The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977 was the beginning of this current mess. This act requires (yes it is still in force) lenders under penalty of law to make loans to lower income earners to provide them with the ability to own their own home. Under the watch of Bill Clinton

There are those who are bounded by laws and rules, yet success is too distant for them. On the other hand, there are those who appears to be easy going people but are successful. Think you have what it takes to be like them? Or would you rather do something different to achieve the elusive success? Take heart and set your goals.What do goals represent by the way? These are actually

There are things both known and unknown and there between lies the doors (to the truth). That statement holds true to many things, including the current war in Iraq. Most people have their theories as to why we are at war. Some say it's all about oil or G-Dub's plot to avenge his father's planned assassination (which was never carried out and was probably just some of Saddam's propaganda to begin
