The Constitution Study
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…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are plenty of examples of those in government rewriting the rules and only a few of those trying to stop them. They have become so common some people have started calling these attempts war. War on freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and even the Constitution itself. In this battle, for who creates the rules and who follows them, which side…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While many people say, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” I contend that what you know that just ain’t so is what really bites you in the butt. I know there are English majors across the county yelling at me right now, but let’s put aside the bad grammar for a moment and consider if the sentiment is…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Terrorism isn’t merely acts of destruction, but the use of terror, intense and overwhelming fear, as a means of coercion. Take a look around, and you’ll get a sense of just how often fear is used to coerce people into behaving a certain way and then thinking a certain way. If intense fear is being used to coerce…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Did you have a bully in school? I had a couple of low-level ones. Nothing too serious, but when I grew up, I realized that all bullies seem to follow the same playbook. They pick out someone they think they can intimidate, isolate them, and metaphorically work them over as long as…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There was a time when doctors were looked up to like gods, but something rotten is now festering in our medical system. The story of Grace Schara is a heartbreaking example of medical malpractice and wrongful death. Her family is fighting for justice and to prevent this from happening…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you noticed that people are referring to the United States as a democracy more often? But the problem is more complex than a simple misunderstanding. Our republic is in danger of crumbling, as both democracy and aristocracy gain power. As George Washington warned, this leads to a despotism…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are many variations on this truth, but it is still true. Act in haste, repent at leisure. It’s true when you’re building something, when you’re cooking, and especially when you’re making public policy. There are plenty of examples of people’s haste in making public policy turn out to be a waste of time, money, and liberty. We’ve seen it in…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How often does a government program actually help you compared to how often it simply infringes on your rights? It’s not just presidential executive orders or even Congress, but the courts and states are just as likely to “help” you by taking away your liberty. While government actors still put on the facade that they do all this to help you, it should be quite apparent to…
