Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.

We here at Blue Stars For A Safe Return are working hard to honor all of our military, past and present, and their families. Inlcuding the veterans, and POW/MIA's. I feel that not enough is done to recognize the past efforts of the veterans, and remember those who have never been found.

I realized that our Veterans have no "official" seal, so we created one as part of that recognition. To see what it looks like and the Star that we have dedicated to you, the Veteran, please check out our site.

"King Philip's War" has become an icon of political correctness in American historiography.

"Political Correctness" requires "War is Wrong", whatever that means. As Clausewitz pointed out, war is normal politics, everyday life, where the killing gets organized. Wholesale instead of retail, sort of.

The cutting of the Gordian Knot by Alexander is a metaphor of this, that politics becomes so tangled and intractable that the sword is the only answer.

As Douglas MacArthur quoted Plato (can't find the quote myself) "Only the dead have seen the last of war."

Churchill said that "Jaw, Jaw, is better than War, War." Well, sure, as long as you are the one getting what you want.

Really, war is just everyday life. Nothing more human, or cat like, dog like, cow like, bird like, etc., etc., than to seek to dominate others of your kind. Nothing more human, etc., etc., than to resent others attempting to dominate you. Politics. Humans just have a more abstract language than the rest of the critters.
