Profile
Jerry McDaniel has been retired since 1996 after a wide-ranging
career spanning more than sixty years. He is a former Pastor,
entrepreneur, business owner, and corporate trainer. His academic
training is in Theology and Business Management. For most of his
career he was engaged in a variety of professional training positions
as an independent consultant, minister or corporate trainer.
Politically, He is a Constitution Fundamentalist. With formal training in
hermeneutics, --the science and methodology of interpreting texts--
his approach to our founding documents is somewhat different than
the majority of writers and bloggers. The common practice in
interpreting the Constitution is to approach it from a lawyer’s point of
view, taking into account the changes brought about by court cases
and Supreme Court decisions.
His approach is to apply textual criticism in an effort to determine the
intent of the Framers. His goal is to let the Constitution speak for itself
without twisting its meaning to fit his personal social or political
preferences. He often reviews court cases and judicial opinions,
however, his guiding principle is Article Six of the Constitution which
declares the Constitution itself to be the Supreme Law of the Land
trumping actions of the Judicial, Legislative and Executive Branches of
government.

The Enemy Within
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the
gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within
the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the
traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their
arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works
secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no
longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero (Ancient Roman Lawyer, Writer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman)

| “It is my firm belief that most of our social, economic and political problems stem from our departure from the principles on which this nation was founded. Unless we return to those principles future generations are destined to live under the yoke of tyranny and deprivation. During my lifetime I have watched the steady progress of socialism as it crowds out liberty and freedom. I fear that unless this course is reversed, and soon, America is destined to follow in the footsteps of other illustrious nations whose former greatness is little more than a faded memory today.” ~Jerry McDaniel |
