OP-ED By  AnjaliReed Phukan Since the dawn of time, people have ignored bad behavior, indulged in it, or degraded others for it, and this must change. Political sex scandals today, such as with Al Franken or Roy Moore, are no different. Sex is the bedrock and curse of humans. It's needed for population continuation, but improperly used it leads to war and disease. Sex fears also lead to self-centered resentments, addictions, and other sins. Enter Jesus (probably spelled ישוע and pronounced Yeshua), who's lesson, called, “Pericope Adulterae,” was so controversial it isn't in the oldest manuscripts like Codex Sinaticus, my go-to for biblical study. This is not about religion – even Atheists can benefit from this philosophy. Breaking from the punishment law to stone an adulterer, Jesus directs her to “go and sin no more.” Jesus, for example, teaches us to teach others Good Orderly Direction, rather than to punish. Our founding fathers understood this - our constit

Judge Roy Moore, you just did not get it.  I know, I know, you are a brilliant strict constructionist.  So brilliant are you that you defeated your enemies twice to gain victories to the Alabama State Supreme Court.  When you saw America surrendering to the immoral machinations of the Left, in 2003, you founded the Foundation for Moral Law to educate the public and promote current litigation activity aimed at moral and religious issues.  Your organization is anti-abortion, opposed to same-sex marriage, and supportive of public prayer.  Your ideologies and values were easy to embrace by the Right's voters.  You fed them red meat and they howled in celebration.  However, behind the political iron curtain, you were always a threat to the status quo.  The Establishment thought you were cute and deemed you a tool that could cloak their clandestine political and judicial pursuits as palatable endeavors on behalf of the American people.  They simmered at your ability to stand amidst

"The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both." — William Rawle , A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829) There is a constant drumbeat in America.  It is the Left's persistent, almost insatiable, need to control the past, present, and future through its mighty narratives and charming messengers.  Since the last Presidential Election, they have displayed their Resistance by a show of force and by deadly force itself.  They are protected by the Wealth of Wall Street, the Representative Power of the Establishment on Capitol Hill, and the Unrelenting Presentation of Myth and Rhetoric expressed as News.  What worsens this pl

One of the best lessons that I ever learned about lobbying and federal subsidy came by way of my wife and daughters.  Although I saw myself as a hard-core disciplinarian parent committed to the principles of frugality, my daughters, and my wife, were far more wise to my weaknesses as a father.  Yes, I loved and spoiled my daughters.  They were so cute, so sweet, and so smart.  They would look at me with their adoring eyes as I threatened to pound flesh and they would walk away with only a verbal warning.  They were my babies and they knew how to stroke Daddy's ego well.  "O, father, you are so wise.  Please tell us again your opinions on the Sixteenth Amendment."  My daughters would normally ask me such questions at about bedtime, in my home office where the cable television link broadcast.  Swollen with great pride that they had chosen me as their historical link to American politics and economics, I was more than willing to bend the strict regard for their bedt
