The Games They Play
By Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired When we elect people to serve in congress, we are supposed to be selecting members of community, the citizens we know and trust; people to actually represent us, personally, directly, and exactly.

America Must Go
By Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired I began life as a mechanic wearing three cornered pants, and from the first, “natural law” controlled everything I did.

A Measured Response

The Real Issue at Hand
By Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired The single most important aspect of the agitation of our founders against The British Empire across an ocean, dictating to us our laws absent our representation, without ever setting foot on the land here, was the seminal idea "The Great Enlightenment" provided via...

On the Other Hand

Equal Rights
By Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired The founding premise of the issue of homosexual marriage and the entire “normalization” of homosexuality is the suggestion homosexuals don’t have equal rights as people, and are by this way discriminated against.
