The shootings of at least 18 people (6 killed, at least 12 wounded) in Tucson, Arizona, has predictably ignited a firestorm of anti-gun, anti-right, and anti-anything not “liberal” diatribes from the typical big government talking heads in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Anti-freedom congressmen railed for more gun control, including resurrecting Bill Clinton’s so-called [...]

When one studies Montana’s constitution, something should become apparent—and perhaps alarming. That is, there is virtually no limit to the government’s power to pass and execute any law it deems right in its own discretion. The only limitations of government power expressed in Montana’s constitution are the Declaration of Rights (Article 2). While the Declaration of Rights [...]

For me, it is always disheartening to see men and women who have held, who hold or who wish to hold American political office possess political ideas dangerous to the fundamental liberties which America’s Declaration of Independence holds are inalienable. Yet, while disheartening as it is, it is also common. So, it is perhaps no [...]

In 2010, there seems to be a battle of the qualities of human nature: the side that desires independence and autonomy to acquire freedom and the side that accepts convenience and ease at the cost of slavery. Of course, ideology has much to do with how human [...]

In a recent article, Thomas H. Naylor, professor emeritus of economics at Duke University, described the disparaging thought that the state of Vermont is not as freedom- and independent-minded as one would think or hope–in light of the 2010 gubernatorial election. To Naylor, if the people of Vermont were really as independent-minded and -spirited as [...]

A recent article reflects a Secession Movement is taking more serious effect in Belgium. The cause for the movement?–well, the cause is the same that most always exist in a Secession Movement:

too many fundamentally opposed interests and philosophies among the citizens of the country, mismanagement of government’s role and purpose under the central authority, cultural [...]

Read parts 1, 2 and 3. Those who would classify themselves as the enemies of tyranny and advocates of freedom have offered—and for quite some time—many reasons why the United States are in the condition they are in. These reasons need to be reduced to their principle and need to be studied in terms of both society and government [...]

Those who would classify themselves as the enemies of tyranny and advocates of freedom have offered—and for quite some time—many reasons why the United States are in the condition they are in. These reasons need to be reduced to their principle and need to be studied in terms of both society and government phenomenon before [...]

A universal maxim has been admitted before: a “constitution may happen to be free, and the not”. America’s founding generation understood this well, and thus, the political systems in America were founded on the notion of the consent of the governed , knowing that a constitution itself does not sufficiently guard against tyranny. Consent of the governed is [...]

I have watched my dad’s (Chuck Baldwin) pastoral ministry at Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL my entire life (now 31 years). My mom (Connie), sister (Sarah), brother-in-law (Allan), brother (Chris), sister-in-law (Jana), nieces and nephews (Emily, Amy, Jay, Charlie, James and Jeb), wife (Jennifer) and grandparents (Betty and Bill) have all served under my [...]

Americans have historically prided themselves in being different from all other nations of the earth. Stemming from our independent lives and station from Great Britain–even while being politically subject to it–the foundation of America rested upon the ideal of independence, individualism, self-determination and freedom. A massive and motivating Secession Movement from Great Britain took only [...]

In recent years throughout the States of America, there has been what is referred to as the State Nullification Movement. This movement is based upon the concepts expressed in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and 1799, drafted and advocated by founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Nullification’s idea is this: the United [...]

Read part 1 The United States Constitution has become the very form and substance of what dynamic patriots like Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Samuel Chase, Samuel Adams and others warned against, “namely, that the new plan of government…seriously endangered the rights and liberties of the people of the several States.” If their predictions have come [...]

Freedom mostly—if not only—comes by revolution. Revolution is the change of political power from one to another. In the case of America’s founding, power transferred from Great Britain to the individual States of America. Inevitably, revolution results in the division and separation from that form or system of government causing the plight. Rarely, if ever, [...]

There is no question that the United States Constitution was considered to be an EXPERIMENT. The Federalists and Anti-Federalists alike admitted it was an experiment, and it has been described as such ever since. Evidently, Americans use the term not knowing what it actually means or implies. So, what was it that made this form [...]

This past week, my son and constitutional attorney, Tim Baldwin, wrote the following and then delivered it to his elementary age Bible class at our church. It tells the story of our brave forebears’ struggle for freedom and independence in a way that even children can comprehend. Oh! By the way, the class stood up [...]

Read part 1 The objections I will likely receive from part 1 of this article are these main two: (1) the fourteenth amendment guarantees to every “United States citizen” the privileges and immunities in the United States Constitution and that includes the second amendment; and (2) the states do not have a right to deprive their [...]

One of my highly-esteemed colleagues, Wilton Strickland, who is an author, columnist, attorney in Florida and Montana, magna cum laude graduate of the college of William and Mary law school and a fond friend of liberty accurately described a major problem in America relative to restoring freedom in the States in his recently-released article entitled, [...]
