Fight for Liberty?

In the background on my computer screen is a World War II poster. It shows some contemporary soldiers marching in front of some colonial militiamen. The caption reads, "Americans Will Always Fight for Liberty". There are two words that stuck out to me. They are not "Americans" and "Liberty", but are "Will" and "Always". During WWII, there was no doubt that the saying on that poster was true.

Shoot the Lame Duck!

When a horse goes lame, we shoot it and put it out of its misery. Why? Because it is understood that a lame horse cannot be fixed and is no longer good for any practical purpose.

The “Bone Yard”

I like to go to my parents home to see how I might be able to help them around the house and yard. They live in a 50 year old home and have a fairly large yard to maintain. Typically, there are some chores that need to be done and something that may require minor repair. Behind the house is a small workshop where my dad works on his various projects.

Well, I Swear! But to Who?

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." On 9/11, of 2010, I wrote an article with the title, "Domestic Enemies of the Constitution", which was published on Canada Free Press. This article discussed the various oaths that our elected officials and military personnel swear upon entering their new positions.

VOTE - No Citizenship Required

In 2004, Arizona voters passed Proposition 200, the Arizona Voter Identification Laws. What we attempted to accomplish was to help insure that only legal citizens of the U.S. would be voting in our elections. The law required anyone who registered to vote to provide a valid Arizona driver's license, or an Identification Card, or other form of record with a digitized signature on file with AZ Motor Vehicle Department (MVD).

Short Term Pain

How do we get from where we are to where we want to be? Be assured, this election is not going to solve the problems. If we have any dreams of an America that are based on what America used to be, then we have to be realistic. We are so far from where we started that we would not recognize our country if it were functioning strictly under the Constitution.

The Lone Military Superpower - China

Through much of our adult lives we were told about the two, military Superpowers; the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. After the political and economical collapse of the U.S.S.R., we have heard that the U.S.A. is the "lone Superpower". An analysis of military strength might show America to be on the top of the pile, but do not get too arrogant. Based on the current trends, within the next few years, it appears that China will be the top dog.

Are We Free?

Recently, there has been much discussion over the concern of losing our liberties. I, too, have written about the importance of the coming election in relation to protecting our freedom. All of this is based on the assumption that we are, or at least have recently been, FREE. Is this a correct base for our arguments and protests?

Life Cycle of a Crisis

Have you noticed, over the past twenty years, how most every potential crisis that any portion of the American public has faced, has been gobbled up by Washington and the main stream media, with each doing their assigned duties in transforming what may or may not be a legitimate news story into a doomsday scenario with predictions of apocalyptic destruction?

Jackass Crap With Make-Up

"Just Say NO!" Why do Republican leaders believe that their job is to take the crap proposed by the Democrats and just try to make it somewhat better?

When are Rights, Wrong?

1st Amendment to the Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Liberals vs. Liberty

Freedom! The word itself, can bring a tear to your eye and put a smile on your lips. Our country has enjoyed a reputation of being "the land of the free". Individuals from all around the world have sought ways to get to America. Many have left all they had and even risked the loss of life in order to become a part of this great experiment. I have never heard the phrase, "The Russian dream", or "The French dream", or "The Mexican dream". But, most people know what you mean by "The American dream".

Brush Fires of Spiritual Freedom

The Christian church in America, for too long, has been anemic. We have taken Sunday services and turned them into social gatherings where the congregation goes home no better informed than when they came. There is no message of urgency to walk close to God. Any mention of sin or disobedience, by a pastor, is weakly expressed and produces no shame or change.

RINO John is Back!

Rambo John (R.J.) McCain showed up in the Republican primary in Arizona. He launched an attack against his conservative opponent, with both barrels, before J.D. ever announced he was even in the race. Bart and Bret Maverick would have been proud, in fact they probably would have adopted R.J. into the family, officially.

IRS Section 501(c)(3) vs Freedom of Speech

"Tax-Exempt Organization" - Sounds pretty good and sort of makes you wish you were one, doesn't it? You must ask, whenever the government (IRS) tells you that you can keep some dollars in your right pocket, what are they taking out of your left pocket?

Domestic Enemies of the Constitution

Listed below are the various oaths that are administered to the people entering each specific position:

Are Christians least religious?

Lately, we have been hearing questions about whether Barack Obama is a Christian or a Muslim, or none of the above. A recent poll conducted by Pew Research indicated that approximately one out of four adults in America believe he is a Muslim and one out of three believe he is Christian. The rest have no idea.

Irreconcilable Differences

Is there any divorce that would meet with God's approval? What if the two sides realized that they will never, ever get along again? Remember, God hates divorce. Marriage is a uniting of two into one. Divorce is the taking of that one and tearing it into two, again. It was never meant to be.

The Color of the Soul

"Red and yellow, black and white; they are precious in His sight." Most of us know the children's chorus, but doesn't God have favorites? Wouldn't it just seem "normal" to prefer some above others? "Normal," yes; Godly, no! God is not "normal" as defined by man. (Rom 11:33 KJV) "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"

Does Your Vote Count?

America was at the crossroads two years ago. Americans voted Obama into office and gave the Democrats solid control of the House and Senate. That election determined which road we would travel upon. To my amazement and great disappointment, America chose socialism. The Liberals took complete control of Washington and began to launch a massive agenda to enlarge government, secure power, destroy capitalism, take over industry, control healthcare, increase dependency, and basically cement our future to a foundation of socialism.
