Get Off My Back

As Election Day quickly approaches, I’m starting to get some heat about my decision to vote for Michael Peroutka. Those who believe in the Boogie Man are clamoring to get me to change my mind and just vote for Bush. “You have to or Kerry will win, and that would be the end of the [...]

The Constitution Party appreciates the contributions of our servicemen and veterans to the preservation of American freedom.

Faith

My Utmost for His Highest
Without faith it is impossible to please Him. – Hebrews 11:6

Which is it?

As I’ve said countless times before, I’m no fan of President Bush. However, that’s no reason to shun critisizing Kerry.
Here’s the latest thing I can’t figure out. He’s saying the President screwed up and allowed 300 tons of explosives to disappear in Iraq. Then the number was reduced to 3 tons (but that’s inconsequential to [...]
