Davy Crocket was quite the speaker. His introductory speech in Congress was a tall tale about how he won election by trickery--essentially a lesson in how sceptical we-the-people need to be . . .

As a resident of East Tennessee, I'm struck by how far a field from honoring the integrity of our forefathers we've strayed. As I consider but a few points of our cultural malaise (abortion as a protected 'reproductive right', affirmation of deviants as a minority, porkbarrel spending out of control, immoral politicians like clinton protect in high office despoiling our White House, etc.), I am convinced honorable men such as built this nation would find the current stewardship worthy of contempt and revolution. I'm 57. When I was a boy, my grandfather was already disgusted with the government for its corruption and cronyism. It has only gotten far worse due to lack of attention to our sovereign responsibilities as 'We The People'.
