There’s a great new book, “Original Intent” by David Barton.
David runs an organization called “Wallbuilders”. Just search for Wallbuilders Press and you should be able to get a copy. I’ve heard David talk about this info when he spoke at my church. It’s mesmerizing to listen to him tell us how the founders felt about our country and why they worked so hard to make our Constitution so tough and resilliant.
Everybody should read it .. along with Mark Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny”.
Another author and speaker I admired greatly on the subject of "Liberty and Tyranny" was Milton Friedman. You can find a wealth of videos of Friedman on YouTube - worth a look-see. Bork and Friedman along with Reagan were my heroes. They are now gone, and the world is poorer without them, but may their values and what they stood for live on and be carried forward in us.
If it had not been for Sarah’s endorsement, Cruz would not have been in the debates!!! Dewhurst would have won in the first primary...
Thanks so much for the book reference. I’m also a big fan of Bork.
Opinion...yours.
I voted Cruz three times..but not on the same day. :)
I suggest you look at the Cruz’ introduction of Sarah at CPAC... His opinion also...

How many times have I said I SAW & HEARD his comments @ CPAC.
Bears repeating:
The next day Feinstein was still stewing and admitted as much. She’s been on the shelf way past her expiration date. The Senate is full of old fools and I am convinced half of them are on meds that mess up their mind. Voinovich, Pelosi, Arlen Spector being fine examples. John McCain too [I would add Durbin, Schumer, Reid and Rangel...All the other long termers too] In many House and Senate Offices the senior staff does 99% of the real work such as reading [And writing!] & analyzing a bill and telling the Rep or Senator how to vote and what to say. Also dealing with angry constituents and brushing them off because the man our Reps and Senators really wants to see is the lobbyist and preferably with a satchel of campaign fund cash. The Rep or Senators job is just to show up on Capital Hill sometimes, ask questions at hearings that will get him TV face time, to see/network with money laden lobbyists all the time, and to go out for lunch and at night to /network and do dirty deals with the other dirty denizens of DCYup, that's what it has evolved to from our Constitutional Republic to a good ol' boys game of money money money power power power, not giving a hoot about American Citizens whom they ARE ELECTED TO SERVE!
Barton is a JEWEL!
I've been influenced by him and his writings for over two decades.
He knows, and puts it out there so well, the ins and outs of our government and how very connected it was in the beginning to Christianity and the Bible. And should be to this day.
Sounds like a great book CyberAnt!
If anyone knows the "Original Intent" it is David Barton.
I totally agree, Barton is a master at telling the real meaning of our founding.
