Let’s Talk America: Dr. Alan Keyes ft. Paul Engel

Pondering Our Future

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The future, often called the ‘undiscovered country,’ remains uncertain. Yet, by examining our current path, we can foresee potential outcomes. Today, increasing government control, censorship, and a declining standard of living signal a shift. The American experiment in self-government faces a pivotal moment. Will we alter our course before our cherished republic transforms into a corrupt…

396 – Hard Cases Make Bad Precedent

There is an adage in the legal profession, “Hard cases make bad law.” Well, since cases in this country to not truly make law only precedent, you might be tempted to dismiss this saying. However, since our courts are so devoted to their precedent, we should be very careful when hard cases come to the Supreme Court. For example, one case heard by the court has a very unsavory respondent. The question is, will Mr. Zackey Rahimi’s shady past be used to infringe on the right of the rest of Americans?

When Deprogramming Becomes Programming

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In my early career as a programmer, I observed subtle yet significant shifts in societal norms.

Exploring the notion that politics reflects our culture, I delve into the relationship between the electorate and the elected, revealing how our attitudes and actions shape the political landscape and mirror our own values and shortcomings…

A Crumbling Sense of Justice

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Exploring the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, I delve into the complex notion of justice in today’s society. I contrast traditional definitions of justice, like Noah Webster’s 1828 interpretation, with contemporary forms such as social, racial, and economic justice. I argue these modern interpretations erode the true essence of liberty and justice, urging a reevaluation to strengthen these…

Strange New World

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” lives are predestined, much like our 21st-century society. Currently, political turmoil unfolds with prolonged Speaker of the House conflicts, Trump’s indictments, and emerging evidence of election fraud. As these events unravel, it’s clear we’re transitioning from a predetermined world to an increasingly unpredictable and strange future, challenging…
