You cannot help but wonder which side of America the mainstream media stands. Do they want a civil society? Or, do they work for a unlawful society?
Which side of America do governors and mayors support? Do they support lawlessness or a constitutional society? Do “Sanctuary City” mayors and governors choose law and order, or do they stand for anarchy?
Is the United States of America a sovereign nation with laws to protect its citizens, with a border and the “Rule of Law” to ensure its viability as a civilization?
Apparently, as of last week, certain fringe-group citizens think they can violate the “Social Contract” without consequences. What is the “Social Contract?”
“The Social Contract, by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762), is a foundational work of political philosophy arguing … Read more...
The Madison Forum was very pleased to have Gary Pernice, Esq., Madison Forum Secretary, as our Guest Speaker, Monday, December 29th at our Madison Forum Dinner Meeting
Gary’s speech was titled, “The 17th Amendment: Why Constitutional Procedural Law Matters!”
This is a very timely topic, and worthy of strong consideration and ethical thought.
Most Americans enjoy a sound mind, spiritual balance, and common sense. We go to work. We drive home. We kiss our spouse. We hug our kids. We pay our bills. We eat dinner. We watch TV, and we go to bed.
Whatever goes on in Washington DC, and in certain governors’ offices around America defies understanding.

The Madison Forum was pleased to have Garland Favorito,founder of VoterGa.org and Madison Forum Member, as Guest Speaker at our Breakfast Meeting Saturday, December 28th at the “Come-N-Get It” Family Restaurant.
Garland spoke about: “What Every American Should Know about the Trump Impeachment Inquiry.”
Serious students of the Constitution know that the federal government is operating well beyond the bounds of the powers the states delegated to it. Those who defend this extra-constitutional power expansion argue that the Founders could not have envisioned the complexities and advanced technologies of the 21st century and therefore the need for corresponding additional federal powers.
In fact the Framers did anticipate the need to modify … Read more...
Any student of history knows that rampant corruption is one of the symptoms of a country in decline. When the corruption is encouraged by the government of the country, one must wonder how far the rot has spread and whether it’s spreading up or oozing down.
Our elected representatives have, lately (and way past time) been criticized for writing laws that both did not and could not address the problem for which they were written and, at the same time, created yet more problems.
I am altogether confident that part of the problem is that of our representatives being less competent at fulfilling the duties of their office than at convincing their constituents … Read more...
Have you ever seen a child, when they just really didn’t want to hear what you were telling them, put their fingers in their ears, shut their eyes and go “Na na na na….”? I expect we all have.

Today’s excellent Forbes article “Tim Geithner Covers for Corruption On Pennsylvania Avenue” by Charles Kadlec inspired me to dig into my pile of “Why the Crash?” writings. Mr Kradlec does an excellent job of summarizing the various crimes that led to the crash, so what I’ve collected here is, mostly, for detail and a clearer look at the perpetrators.
