In Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District, Howard Houchen rose up early to call out Dan Boren for his bailout vote in public venues [video link here]. For many months, Howard has been traveling his widespread district and beyond, spreading the message of limited, Constitutional government. His commitment to reaching out to young and old, R's and D's, conservative and liberal, proves he would make a conscientious representative in Congress. In addition to his winning approach to working with people, he is a dynamic speaker, and more importantly, thoughtful and well-read on the issues. Howard's work ethic and thorough approach to research provide him with important skills necessary to be a measured legislator. He will serve District 2 well.
The story goes that Benjamin Franklin was approached by a woman as he left the Constitutional Convention (1, 2). She asked, “What have you given us?” Franklin is said to have replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” This exchange was common knowledge 50 years or so ago, as commonly taught to schoolchildren as [...]
Recently, we’ve run a series of posts responding to a misleading article in the July 4 edition of the Lincoln Journal Star. One of those posts was entitled Is Ignorance Bliss? No. Ignorance is Ignorance. It addressed the problems inherent in our education system – people don’t know history anymore. For at least the past [...]

We’ve recently posted a series inspired by a Lincoln Journal Star on July 4 entitled “Whose side are the Founding Fathers on?” Part One: “The Founding? Move Along Folks, Nothing to See There. Onward Progress!” Part one points out that the author of the LJS article attempts to appear [...]
Editor’s note: This article is the final installment (for now) in a series “inspired” by a July 4 piece in the Lincoln Journal Star (title noted below). Click here for a full list of titles in the series. Whatever the Founders’ reasons, slavery’s omission from the political agenda remains a shameful spot on our nation’s founding, [...]
First we found the humorous look at authoritarians featured on Ludwig von Mises Institute's marvelous site. Then we discovered what prompted the post on Ampersand's left leaning site. And now we just cannot stop laughing at both of them. Do we find both of these so humourous because most of us recognize ourselves in both of them? Does that mean that we are somewhere in the mushy middle of America working to survive daily as we also strive to restore the republic? The art of relationships and healthy debate can be aided by humor if we let it. We hope you enjoy this little side by side or a walk on the far side. You decide.
Special thanks to Barry Deutsch for a delightful original graphic piece on Ampersand.
