America’s Founding Father: Thomas Jefferson
“I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers and salaries merely to make partisans, and for increasing by every device the public debt on the principle of its being a public […]

Dave Hammer’s Top 50 Rock and Roll Classics
Some people say that rock and roll began with the Chords singing Sh-Boom, but I can’t buy the idea that it was rock and roll.

The principal author of the Constitution, James Madison, wrote that the powers of the federal government were “few and defined.” The 10th Amendment made clear that any powers […]
