Labels are a lazy form of discrimination
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Labels are lazy. They are an easy way to dismiss someone or something without actually having to investigate it. Label someone a terrorist, and you can throw due process out the window. Label someone a racist, and you can simply ignore them. Label someone a threat to democracy, and you can do just about anything to keep them out of office...
The latest jobs numbers are not as good as DC would like you to believe
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are three types of lies in the world. Lies, Darn Lies, and Statistics. We should keep that in mind as we read and hear about the latest jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These numbers are not nearly as good as D.C. would like you to believe. Then again, they aren’t nearly as bad as their political opponents would want you to believe either...

America’s injustice system
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Pledge of Allegiance ends in the words, “With Liberty and Justice for all.” What happens when the laws and the legal system are not seeking justice?

America’s largest organized crime syndicate
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When we think of organized crime, figures like Al Capone and fictional characters such as Vito Corleone often come to mind.
