I Demur
By Steve Farrell Emily Dickinson spoke to her time as well as ours when she penned this penetrating line: Assent — and you are sane — Demur — you're straightway dangerous And handled with a chain. I wonder, this day, can the State of Arizona and its good people relate to the treatment Dickinson predicted? I'm sure they can. Have they [...]
Americanus Speaks to Arizona’s Immigration Crisis and to All of Us
By Steve Farrell As the illegal immigration crisis proceeds a pace, and an American President has so far removed himself from his duty (and his wits) that he has ordered his Justice Department to sue an American state (Arizona) for doing its duty and for having its wits about it in defense of its citizens and their property — a little wit and [...]
Glen Beck On the C.F.R. and Media Bias
By Steve Farrell In video clips posted today at JBS.org, Glen Beck addresses what the John Birch Society has been warning about for the past 50 years, a cabal of Insiders (member of the Council of Foreign Relations - CFR) who have infiltrated the government and the media working hand and glove to deceive the America people with the goal of [...]
Nil Desperandum
By Steve Farrell Liberty Letters, Samuel Adams, 1772 Human nature being what it is, patriotic fervor tends to come and go. In 1772, when it seemed to be more going than coming, James Warren reported to Samuel Adams from Plymouth about the towns he had been canvassing: "They are dead," he lamented, "and the dead can't be raised without a [...]
University of Illinois Professor Fired For Standing By Catholic Teaching on Homesexuality — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell Calling it hate speech, the University of Illinois has fired a Catholic professor hired to teach an introductory course on Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought for responding to a student question about why homosexuality is immoral under Natural Law. The professor, Ken Howell answered in his email: "Natural Law says [...]
What Goes Around Comes Around — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell There's a maxim everyone's heard, personally mouthed, and undoubtedly believes: "What goes around comes around." Or, "the boomerang effect." Remarkably, however, although we've all heard, mouthed, and believed it, many arrogantly claim a personal exception from this law of God and Nature — even when it comes to some [...]
Rescuing Our Kids and Country From Karl Marx — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell It bears repeating: If we hope to halt, reverse and permanently alter America's descent into the gutter of debauchery and that political tyranny that is forever its companion — "education is the key." (1) And if so, it must be, it can only be that that education is initiated, financed, and controlled by parents, not by [...]
The Loyal Opposition — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell On the 6th of June 1776, Boston's Samuel Adams wrote to fellow Son of Liberty, James Warren, President of the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts: "Tomorrow, a motion will be made, and a question I hope decided, the most important that was ever agitated in America." Indeed it was. The motion introduced in the Second [...]
A Rare Phenomena! — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell It is a rare phenomena, but sometimes Johnny-come-lately political movements get it right. Case in point: The Tea Party Revolution's wise choice to hold up the The United States Constitution rather than the Republican Party as the standard, the true red, white and blue American Ensign to which we must rally to save our [...]
What Is To Be Done? — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell In response to the question, "What is to be done?" Or more to the point, 'What is to be done to save the Republic from the grasp of the Establishment and its drive toward domestic and international socialism?' Barry Goldwater, in his 1994 book, "The Conscience of a Conservative," advised: "The ancient and tested truths that [...]
Term Limits and the Citizen Legislature Scam — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell In April of 1996, the traditionally liberal Democratic Party did something it is, in theory, never supposed to do. It out-conservatived the Republican Party, stood up for the U.S. Constitution, and threw out a radical proposal designed to transform the United States from a republic to a democracy. This the congressional [...]
When Commies Are Patriots — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell If you haven't stepped inside a college classroom of late, you ought to. There you will see your taxes doing some of their "best" work; there you will discover whence cometh the appellation "rebel" so graciously attached to America's Founding Fathers. I first heard it in an undergraduate Early American history class nearly [...]
Who Are The Real Rebels? — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell Aldolf Hitler taught: "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it" Maybe you've heard this big one repeated a few times: The Founding Fathers were parochial, self-serving rebels against the existing order -- not unlike today's Progressives, Communists, and Globalists, who, [...]
Arizona ‘Birther’ Bill Moves Forward: Eligibility Issue Refuses to Go Away — Farrell
By Steve Farrell The Arizona House of Representatives moved forward a provision on Monday (April 19) that would require presidential candidates to produce documents proving their eligibility to serve if they expect their name to appear on the Arizona ballot in 2012. The United States Constitution, Section 1, Article 1, requires that: No [...]
American Pride, Gratitude, and Work — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell TheNewAmerican.com. I’ve always been proud to be an American, proud about her independent spirit, her inspired — even Providential — founding, her many heroes during those difficult early days and the difficult days and years that followed, proud of all those men and women of vision, virtue, and [...]
Utah Land Revolt Spreads – California County Stands Up to B.L.M.
Steve Farrell, Exclusive to The New American In response to what is being called “an avalanche of proposed closures on federal lands” in the State of California, the San Benito County Board of Supervisors has voted to “reassert its jurisdiction on 25 miles of county roads in an area currently closed by the federal government,” giving [...]
Using Jefferson As A Cloak for Revolution — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 7, Steve Farrell Tyranny will never bind a great and free people by preceding its terrible deed with a confession of ill intent. To believe that is to believe nonsense. In free societies slavery is won by consent; and consent is won with a disarming smile, a sympathetic heart, a list of promises to groups, a series of [...]
Fighting Back: Utah Oks Eminent Domain Use on Federal Land — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell Ready to give up in midst of the biggest and most important political battle of our time? The states aren't. And this time it's Utah ... again. On Saturday Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed two bills into law that authorize the use of eminent domain to take back land Utah says is rightfully theirs under the [...]
The Rebellion Grows: 39 States to Fight Obamacare
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell It is a shocking, appalling, perplexing dilemma that we still have in the United States of America -- the greatest, freest, most prosperous country in the world -- a major political party, indeed the ruling party, dedicated to bullying Marx and Lenin's dream of a socialist Utopia upon us (for our own good -- [...]
The Armor That Renders Us Invincible — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell One of our sacred American hymns pleads for in behalf of America that "God mend every flaw," and most importantly, "confirm soul in self-control, liberty in law." The hymn's poetess, Katherine Lee Bates, apparently knew what most of America's Founding Fathers knew, what common sense knew, what every [...]
The Optimistic First Lady of Conservatism — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell Speaking in Naples, Florida at the 30th Annual Eagle Forum luncheon, Phyllis Schlafly, the First Lady of Conservatism, called the 2010 election “the most important election of our lifetime.” She urged the audience to vote for good conservative, pro-family Republicans. “I am optimistic we can do it [...]
Contract With America: The Betrayal Begins — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 6, Steve Farrell On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 27, 1994, more than 300 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives stood under an unusually warm, sun-filled sky and made history. All of them were there joining hands and rubbing shoulders with one goal in mind: to help launch a new revolution -- the [...]
Tea Party Progressivism — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell The Tea Party movement claims to be for the Constitution, but I'm not convinced they have not already been subverted by the same radical socialist progressives they say they oppose. Case in point: This morning we learn that the Tea Party movement has hired the American Civil Rights Union to push for a ballot recall of [...]
Eradicating the U.S. Constitution by Design — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 5, Steve Farrell A half-century ago, in a classic exchange between two men on opposite ends of the moral and political spectrum, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev bragged to American patriot and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson: "Your grandchildren will live under communism!" To which Secretary Benson [...]
Groveling in the Gutter of the Gulags — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 4, Steve Farrell If ever there was a person suffering under the delusion that there really was a nickel's difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich's surfing in Alvin Toffler's Third Wave and his application of the same as the launching pad of 21st century Republicanism should have [...]
Gingrich, Toffler, and Gore, A Peculiar Trio — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 3, Steve Farrell The most-heralded achievement and high water mark of Republican leadership since the revival of America's military superiority under Ronald Reagan is, without question, the coming forth of the "Contract With America" during the election of 1994. Its 100-day surge through the House of Representatives, [...]
Changing Definitions — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell Definitions can be important. An important technique of the socialist revolution against religion, morality, and true liberty has been to hijack words and reinvent their definitions to their exact opposites. One example is the word liberalism. In the founding era, liberalism, or as we call it today, [...]
Greatest Polarizer In Chief — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell More bad news for Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the sinking yet ever strident Obama Administration: According to Gallup, President Obama is the most polarizing first year president in the history of the United States. Jeffrey Jones at Gallup notes, "The 65 percentage-point gap between Democrats' (88%) and Republicans' (23%) [...]
Clinton and Blair’s Center-Left Democracy — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 2, Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 1, "Technology, Sovereignty, and the Third Wave," raised a justifiable flap about the hush-hush history of that Tsunami for political and sociological change called the Third Wave or the Third Way. It presented the first layer of evidence that the 1990's famously popular Third [...]
Democrat Implosion Continues — Southers Quits
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell This morning offers two more signs that the Obama Administration's socialist assault on America is imploding: one, the shocking election of conservative Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate in the liberal Democrat stronghold of Massachusetts -- where the folks seem to be saying, 'We may be liberals, but [...]
