Can You Imagine This Country?
We hear much today about the American dream. By “the American dream,” most people mean buying a big house, driving an expensive automobile, and making a lot of money. However, this was not the dream envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Remember that, for the most part, America’s founders gave up their material wealth and substance [...]

Independence Now And Forever
On this Independence Day, it behooves us to recall the principles of America’s founding, especially in light of the ongoing attempt by today’s political and commercial leaders to merge the United States into a hemispheric government. In fact, the clarion call for independence is just as fundamental, just as revolutionary as it was 230 years [...]

The Worst Tragedy Of The Bush Presidency
It gives me no pleasure to say that the George W. Bush presidency has been an absolute and dismal failure! In fact, the Bush II regime is worse than those of Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and even Bill Clinton. The only potential bright spot to his legacy might be a slight swing to the right [...]

A Great Idea For Independence Day
A few years ago, I sadly discovered that it was next to impossible to find our nation’s great historic documents together in one volume, so we decided to fix that problem. It took us a full year to research and compile over 50 of our country’s greatest historical documents, but we did it!
Now, just in [...]

Not Our Fathers’ America
Every country goes through changes. However, stable countries are able to maintain their basic culture, identity, language, and heritage throughout the various gradations of societal evolution. Hence, through major wars, minor conflicts, turmoil, depression, and dissension, America, for the most part, has been able to maintain the fundamental underpinnings that made our country unique. But, [...]

Needed: 3-Dimensional Leaders
I recently delivered a Sunday address entitled “The 3-Dimensional Life.” This address was motivated by my belief that a major part of America’s overall problem today derives from the fact that most people, including our leaders, live 1-dimensional lives. For the most part, they are ignorant of the past and oblivious to the future. Such [...]

Did The Religious Right Die With Jerry Falwell?
More than any other single person, Jerry Falwell was the embodiment and single most recognizable icon of the Religious Right. However, the association is even deeper than that. In many respects, Jerry Falwell was the heart and soul of the Religious Right, which is why many people hated him so much. They fully understood that [...]

George W. Bush Is GOP’s Bill Clinton
Those of you who heard my radio program back in 2001 know that I predicted then that George W. Bush would do to the Republican Party much the same thing that Bill Clinton did to the Democratic Party. However, I must confess, I could not then realize the magnitude of that prediction.
Most of us remember [...]

By Any Other Name, Amnesty Bill Still Stinks!
One of Shakespeare’s most oft-quoted phrases comes from Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet asks Romeo: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Accordingly, President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can call their immigration bill by any name they want to, but it [...]

A Tribute To Jerry Falwell
I first met Jerry Falwell when I was a Sophomore at Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan. The year was 1972. I can honestly say, hearing and meeting Dr. Falwell was a turning point in my life.
I was so impressed with Jerry’s vision, courage, and compassion that the very next year, 1973, I transferred from [...]

No Sanctuary For Illegal Aliens At Our Church
For the past several days, news reports have been circulating throughout the mainstream media regarding the decision by several churches to provide “sanctuary” to illegal aliens. For example, a Fox News report dated May 9, 2007 said, “Two churches intend to give sanctuary to illegal immigrants to protect them from deportation and pressure lawmakers to [...]

Our Christian Duty
I recently delivered an address to the people of Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida entitled, Our Christian Duty.
For sure, “duty” is a much under-appreciated word among this irresponsible, avant-garde generation. Fortunately, this has not always been the case.
America’s history is replete with the stories of brave and selfless men and women who were willing [...]

Paul, Not Romney, Won First GOP Debate
No less than ten Republican hopefuls in the 2008 White House race participated in the first national GOP debate last Thursday, May 3. Even before the 90-minute debate had concluded, media pundits were declaring that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney had won.
Even my friend, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough wrote, “During the debate I was flooded by [...]

Dear Fellow Christians, Please Wake Up!
I suppose there was a time in American politics when there was a significant difference between conservatives and liberals, between Republicans and Democrats, and between Christians and unbelievers. However, with only limited exceptions, that time has largely gone. When it comes to the salient issues that are currently waging war against America’s future survival, it [...]

Me In A Nutshell
This week, I will celebrate my 55th birthday. Therefore, my column today will be strictly personal. I think it only fair that readers should have an opportunity to learn a little something about the person who writes the words they read. Today’s column is designed with that goal in mind.
I was born in a small [...]

On The Partial Birth Abortion Ruling
In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the so-called Partial Birth Abortion ban passed by Congress in 2003 and signed into law by President George W. Bush. Pro-life conservatives around the country are enthusiastically hailing this ruling as a first step toward reversing the infamous 1973 Roe v Wade decision, which legalized abortion [...]

My Speech In Boise, Idaho
Last week, I was privileged to speak before the National Committee Meeting of the Constitution Party assembled in Boise, Idaho. After a two-day whirlwind speaking tour in Utah earlier in the week, I delivered this address to the assemblage in Boise. This is an edited version of that Idaho speech.
Christians tell me constantly, “Chuck, we [...]

When Do Bad Policies Become Treasonous?
That America’s two most recent presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, have been guilty of egregiously flawed and fallacious decisions and activities is obvious. However, at what point do bad policies and conduct become treasonous? At what point do we conclude that our country’s Chief Executive has crossed the line of mere inanity or [...]

Have Christians Become Dupes?
As I peruse the hundreds of email letters I receive, one observation leaps out at me: in the last few years, there has been a distinct philosophical shift taking place in the reasoning of professing Christians. Somewhere along the way, politicians seem to have been granted a kind of spiritual status. This trend is very [...]
