The Woke Shall Destroy the Earth
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” You may recognize it from the Psalms or Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. But today, we are not talking about the meek but the woke. I am not entirely sure who came up with the term “woke,” but according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary Online, “woke” means: “Aware of and actively attentive to important facts and…

Totalitarianism or Kleptocracy?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when the people are no longer the ones elected by the representatives? Where does that leave the republic that the Framers of the Constitution left us? It leaves us somewhere between totalitarianism and a kleptocracy. To be blunt, I’m not sure which is worse.

Judicial Revenge
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Noah Webster said, “An independent judiciary is the firmest bulwark of freedom.” But what happens when that bulwark is used to destroy our freedom? When courts of law are used as courts of revenge? Can liberty survive in such a climate? According to the statistics website statista.com, in 2021, there were approximately 950,000 doctors in the U.S. and 1.3 million lawyers. Why? Because…

Micro-Management in Government
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’ve worked for many different managers over the years. The ones I disliked the most were the micro-managers – the managers who need to control every aspect of what you do.

I’ve worked for micro-managers…

You can punish someone by simply putting them through the pain and costs of defending themselves.

Rule by Fear
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – F.D.R. famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” In America today, it seems we are so afraid of fear that we’ll throw our rights out the window. First, it was the climate hoax. A bunch of (usually) government-funded scientists said we’re all going to die, and we were willing to give up control of our energy independence in homage to the climate gods. Next, we knelt to…

Educated Into Imbecility!
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever noticed how often it is the well-educated that come up with the dumbest ideas? How often do we see ideas coming out of colleges and universities that just ignore reality yet keep on going? That’s not to say that colleges and universities don’t have their place. I want my doctor, engineer, and architect to have studied the realities they need to keep healthy and safe. And…

The Death of Public Liberty
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We often talk about freedom of speech and freedom of the press because they are important. But it’s not the speech or press that are truly important, but what they represent, the expression of thought. This explains why tyrants often try to squelch the expression of ideas they don’t like. To quote Benjamin Franklin, writing as Silence Dogood: “Without Freedom of Thought, there…
