Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

The Time Has Come For an Article V Convention!

My fellow Michiganders. My fellow Americans, treating a disease and becoming well again can only be accomplished through a proper diagnosis of the disease. As Americans we must put aside the romantic notion of living in a constitutionally limited republic. If the last 100 years don't provide sufficient evidence, the events of this last year should provide all that is needed. Our country is firmly in the clutches of International Marxists who seek our complete enslavement and have no problem admitting it, and even laughing about it publicly.

As cases in point, click here to see speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi laughing at the thought of her power being limited by the United States Constitution. Click here, to see Illinois congressman Phil Hare, telling his constituents "I don't worry about the Constitution". And the coupe d'etat, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the majority of the court in Gonzalez v Raich :

"Unlike the power to regulate activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, the power to enact laws enabling effective regulation of interstate commerce can only be exercised in conjunction with congressional regulation of an interstate market, and it extends only to those measures necessary to make the interstate regulation effective. As Lopez itself states, and the Court affirms today, Congress may regulate noneconomic intrastate activities only where the failure to do so "could ... undercut" its regulation of interstate commerce. ... This is not a power that threatens to obliterate the line between "what is truly national and what is truly local."

Based on this interpretation of the Commerce Clause, no aspect of human behavior is outside of the clutches of congress. Justice Clarence Thomas put it best writing in dissent,

If the majority is to be taken seriously, the Federal Government may now regulate quilting bees, clothes drives, and potluck suppers throughout the 50 States. This makes a mockery of Madison's assurance to the people of New York that the "powers delegated" to the Federal Government are "few and defined", while those of the States are "numerous and indefinite."
