Have Americans Forgotten Their Pledge, God, And Protected Rights?

Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The Bill of Rights

The Ten Commandments

John Locke, in The Second Treatise of Government, introduces the notion of the individual's God-given inalienable rights, of which all individuals are entitled, and which provide the moral collection of civil society.  "The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges everyone, and reason, which is at that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions; for men being all the workmanship of one omnipotent and infinitely wise Maker; all the servants of one sovereign Master, sent into the world by His order and about His business; they are His property, whose workmanship they are made to last during His, not one another's place..."  John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philospher who wrote two important works, Essay concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises on Civil Government, both published in 1690, quickly established him as the leading philosopher of freedom.

Censorship, Media Bias, and Fake Impeachment Charges

Censorship, Media Bias, and Fake Impeachment Charges President Trump hasn't even left office and the left has run over all conservatives in its quest for Communism.  The unprecedented censorship and yet another fruitless impeachment process couldn't wait.  After calling for violence at least 28 times in the last year, the Democrats have the gall to suggest Trump incited violence on January 6th.  Anyone reading his message knows that claim has absolutely no merit whatsoever. In fact, read it yourself : Donald Trump: (02:44) The media will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I, when I turned on today, I looked, and I saw thousands of people here, but you don’t see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don’t want to show that. We have hundreds of thousands of people here, and I just want them to be recognized by the fake news media. Turn your cameras please and show what’s really happening out here because these people are not going to take it any lo...

Raising Minimum Wages Results In More Unemployment

Raising Minimum Wages Results In More Unemployment In a truly free market, the right wage is found where the demand for labor (D1) intersects with the supply of labor (S1).  The supply is simply the number of individuals (Quantity = q1) willing to work for the wage (W1) provided.  The demand is simply the number of employees businesses are willing to hire at a particular wage.  On a graph this is depicted as the intersection where the labor supply (S1) and labor demand (D1) lines intersect. Raising the minimum wage results in an influx of workers and shifts the supply line left (S2).  It also results in a leftward shift of the demand for labor (D2), as employers are unwilling to hire and/or retain the same number of employees at the higher wage.  The raise increases the number of workers willing to work than before, but the demand for labor decreases from q1 to q2 resulting in greater unemployment numbers. The reasoning for this shift is simple.  The employ...
