Kudos to Gay Baker Who Understands Freedom and Schools Fellow Gays on the Truth About Their Bad Behavior (video)

My respect and applause goes out to Jesse Bartholomew, a baker, who happens to be gay, had the courage to stand up and tell fellow gays the truth about their appalling behavior in this 2 minute video.

Jesse expresses his frustration with fellow gays about the fact that they are punishing Christian bakers who have declined to bake their wedding cakes.

He has a really wonderful point. WHY would you even want someone who has a different view than you working on such a personal part of your wedding? There are so many bakers to go to, why focus on the one that has religious views that conflict with yours?

Because this isn't about cake. This isn't about hurt feelings. This is about ego. And punishing.

3 Truths About the Supreme Court Gay Marriage Ruling That You Should Know (article)

It's been a few weeks since the Supreme Court ruled for legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states. This is not a 'done and move on' deal. The repercussions from this decision will continue to be felt in America's future in ways most of us haven't considered.

This has nothing to do with not wanting equality for people, but everything to do with one group of people wanting something and violating the moral, just and lawful way of achieving it.

Unfortunately, many people seem to be ignoring the fact that the Obergefell vs. Hodges ruling violated the principles of America's judicial system, our religious liberties, our social structures, and our legal system.

Here are 3 important reasons why I think the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling hurts America's integrity and deteriorates our freedoms.

Americans Don’t Know Why We Celebrate the Fourth of July (short video & article)

Do you know why we celebrate July 4th?

Too many Americans say no. And it's a darn shame because it's such an important fact in our history. In fact, a majority of Americans don't know a lot of important facts in American history.

Watch Mark Dice talk with California beach goers about the 4th of July. He, embarrassingly, finds that many Americans simply don't know WHY we celebrate the 4th of July or what country we declared independence from.

The “Freest” Country in the World is now the Biggest Loser in Freedom and Wealth

I am sitting in one of the freest nations in the world right now. I'm sipping my coffee in my office overlooking a beautiful swimming pool in a landscaped garden of flowers and palm trees. High rise buildings, subway stations, and corporate developments are going up everywhere around me because of the abundance of capital in the country. Porsches, Bentleys, Mercedes, and any other car brand that could possibly make you salivate zooms by on the road below. The buzz of activity is everywhere and loads of people are hurrying to lunch before heading back to work. The unemployment rate is 1.9%. Taxes are some of the lowest in the world. Anywhere from 0-20%

He’s ‘Standing’ Up for Our Privacy Rights Until His Legs Give Out (short video & article)

“There comes a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer,” said presidential candidate Rand Paul. He went on, “that time is now, and I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go unchallenged.”

As I write this, Senator Rand Paul has taken to the Senate floor today in a filibuster to protest the renewal of the Patriot Act.  The Patriot Act is a Bush administration-era law that enables government surveillance on everyday Americans. He wants the government to "stop spying on innocent Americans" in the name of "safety."

If You Love America, And Your Rights, You Will Never Ever Call It a Democracy (Video & Article)

DEMOCRACY ~ You think you know this word, right? This word is misused more than I breathe air. Especially this sentence: “America is a democracy.” This is the most commonly incorrect statement that I have come across in the world. Everywhere I have traveled, from England to Singapore to Costa Rica and back to America, I find countless people mistakenly thinking that America is a democracy. They. Are. Wrong.

Are you thinking, “Wait a minute. I thought America was a democracy!”?

No.

An International Love Story and the Importance of Freedom (Video)

I have been on a grand adventure for the last three years! Falling in love. Traveling around the world. Living abroad. And most excitingly, seeing my years of study of economics and government systems come to real life in all the countries I have been blessed to visit.

Traveling the world has eased my mind about certain things, as well as introduced greater concerns into my heart. For example, it's good to see that so much of the fear mongering from America's media about other nations is just...false. Sri Lanka is not filled with terrorists, Cambodia is very safe to travel through, and everyone speaks English in Singapore.

My greatest concern is the number of nations that offer freedom and prosperity to its citizens. It's almost none.
