The Battle of Athens, Tennessee - 1946


James Madison stated, in reasoning and defense of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States …
The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit to.

FairTax Act NOW!



I just completed my annual tax paperwork and I am exhausted -- and peeved.
I want to reiterate about the 16th Amendment – unconstitutional, unfair, unwieldy, inefficient, intrusive, and gives too much power over our personal lives, specifically our income.
As many have said, the original “Tea Party” was because of taxation and the abuse of it. Yet, here we are in the 21st century and we have traded monarchy tyrants for those who sit in the seats of Congress and the Oval Office of the White House. I don't mind supporting the government to do its job; but why does it have to be complicated, inefficient and wasteful? Why is it taking so long to reform the tax code? What are the politicians in Washington (and some state governments) so afraid of? The change? Losing control? No longer having carte' de blanche in spending money that is not theirs to waste?
