Let states do the job Obama won’t: Sanction Iran

IranDealJokePresident Obama’s executive agreement with Iran is enormously controversial for good reason. Negotiated in coordination with Russia, China, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the deal welcomes Iran as a participant in the world community conditioned only on marginal changes to its nuclear program.

It effectively allows Iran to maintain technology that would lead to a nuclear weapon, as well as continue its human-rights abuses, sponsoring of terrorism, imprisoning of American hostages, and threats to American allies, including Israel.

Fortunately, the U.S. states have the power to limit these threats, if they all choose to use it.

Santorum: An immigration policy to reward

ImmigrationFamilyTulsaIf the last few weeks have proven anything, it is that bombast trumps substance. Literally.

Government schools have already been indoctrinating children in the “new normal” with books like Heather Has Two Mommies.

Supreme Court murders Rule of Law

SupremeCourt2Opinion: Morality is always higher than law. Any sincere system of law, beginning with the Ten Commandments, is the human attempt to express morality in language. Law is itself higher than whim.

When law expresses “malus in se” it expresses that an offense against that law is “evil in itself” as determined by human experience. “Malus in se” laws include those against murder, robbery, bearing false witness, adultery, child abuse, and so forth. “Malus in se” is distinguished from “malus prohibitus.”
