Critically Thinking about CRT

People Over Party

Critical Race Theory or CRT is all in the news. It seems to be a call to arms for Ultra Conservatives, and a litmus test for Ultra Liberals to identify racists. We thought we would take a look to better understand the issue. First, CRT is not new, and it is just a theory. Like…

Where’s Your Mask?

People Over Party

We don’t want to be forced to wear a mask, but we didn’t want to be forced to wear a seatbelt either. We don’t want to be forced to wear a motorcycle helmet, and we don’t want big government interfering in our lives. Some things are just necessary for the greater good. If the point…

Everybody Gets a Pardon

People Over Party

Article II, Section 2.1 of the Constitution clearly says that “The President shall… have the Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” The rest of the Constitution, however, is full of things like checks and balances, and limits on power. One of the Framers’ primary…
