The Constitution Study
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are plenty of disagreements about what policy is best, but does anyone bother to see if those policies actually work? Want a scarier thought? What if these policies actually ARE working? Albert Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over against expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. But what if those…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – With the release of the Durham Report, we have yet another example of the corruption that seems to be so evident in Washington, D.C. We should ask ourselves, is government corrupt by nature, or is it something else? While I’m sure, many of you may answer that question with a hearty “YES!” I think a closer look will show…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Years ago, I taught Sunday School, and for several of those years, I was teaching high-school-level teenagers. Every year I pointed out to my students that the most difficult question I would ask all year was, “Why?” What makes that the most difficult question for a group of Sunday School students? Because many of them…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’m beginning to think all government programs should come with a warning label, just like the ones on cigarettes. You may think I’m being hyperbolic, but look at how many programs that were created to help us are now used to harm We the People. As Ronald Reagan said, “[A] government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Does anyone else remember the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing”? I think of that song just about every time I hear some people talk about the national debt and the debt ceiling and claim that we just need to raise the ceiling without worrying about spending. There are plenty of people who want to ignore the impact of our…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I was listening to a comedian the other day. She was talking to a group of millennials and pointed out that she could take out the entire generation with a jar of peanuts. After I stopped laughing, I started thinking, that doesn’t seem to be as outrageous as you might think. Thinking back, very few children seemed to have peanut allergies…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – My maternal grandfather was from Italy. In fact, his younger brother was born on the boat as they came to America. He was convinced, to his dying day, that the Mafia was not Italian. Similarly, there are those today who cannot fathom the idea that many of our governments today act more like an organized crime family than the representatives…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I’m old enough to remember the Soviet Union and the Marxist nations it held under its sway. I remember the wall separating East and West Germany, the secret police of the various Eastern Bloc nations, and the violent suppression…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As a fan of the Science Fiction genre for decades, I’ve read several books and seen several movies where the protagonist ends up in a parallel universe or another timeline where things look the same but are completely different. That’s exactly how I feel when I look at America today, the buildings look the same, but…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the media, politicians, and celebrities seem to always point our focus toward what is going wrong, there are examples of things going right. From people standing up for the truth and the preservation of their rights, to the occasional elected employee getting to the root of an issue rather than just making…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are plenty of people out there who think America’s best days are behind her. Some believe we will fall to second or even third-world status, while others think we will effectively be taken over by another country or the United Nations. I try not to focus on the doom and gloom, I much prefer focusing on what…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Most of us have had a parent ask us, “If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you follow them?” There are studies showing the power of peer pressure, and I’m sure all of us know of someone who “Fell in with a bad crowd.” Does this tendency to be swayed by bad ideas only exist in childhood, or is it something…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Public schools had an honorable start in the republic. First, people taught their children at home. Then communities would get together, build a schoolhouse and hire a teacher. Then it was agreed that it was a public responsibility to ensure every child had a basic education, the chance to learn to read, write, do…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There have been a lot of really big news items we’ve talked about here at The Constitution Study lately, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other things we should be aware of. So this time, I want to take a whirlwind tour across the country and discuss those stories that haven’t gotten…
