Still Fighting for His Country

image(Editor's Note: American hearts broken over yesterday's tragic loss of 30 American soldiers, most of them elite Navy SEALs, include those of SEAL-for-Life Jim O'Neill and Marine Jerry McConnell. From foreign soil, Courageous SEALS have kept us living in freedom for decades. Today marks the 69th anniversary of McConnell's arrival on Guadalcanal and the beginning of the epic World War II battle.) "The circle of life begins at home midst family, then sometimes it ends away from home, but still in midst of family, now called friends. They were as much my brothers as if we shared the same last name. I couldn't have loved them more." Jerry McConnell -- First Marine Division, First Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion, K Company It is important that as many Americans as possible wake up to the dire straits we are in, and it is especially important that the young adults of America wake up to how they are being led down a path to servitude, poverty, and mediocrity by the political/banking/corporate elites.

Sad About the SEALs?  No

"A time to love and a time to hate...." Ecclesiastes 3:8 It was like a punch in the gut when I first learned of the death of more then thirty US military personnel -- including over twenty SEALs -- during a recent operation in Afghanistan. My prayers go out them, and to their families -- may God comfort them in their grief.

Tea Party Hobbits Vs. Sauron and His Minions

image[Gandalf said],"'Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.' 'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo. 'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. And already, Frodo, our time is beginning to look black. The enemy is fast becoming very strong.'" -- J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) "The Fellowship of the Ring" "There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil." -- From the LOTR film trilogy "The Fellowship of the Ring" John McCain, Maureen Dowd, "The Wall Street Journal" (WSJ), and others, have taken to referring to the Tea Party, and conservative members of Congress, as "hobbits" -- the wee folk from the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy (LOTR). As Brian Wesbury notes, "This is not a term of endearment. What the WSJ editors [et al.] mean is that Tea Partiers live in a 'fantasy world.'"

Oslo and Profanity for Profane Times

"Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer." -- Mark Twain (1835-1910) "If you can't say #, you can't say, '# the government.'" -- Lenny Bruce (1925-1966) "I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bulls--t." -- Mel Brooks Before getting into the meat of this article I would like to briefly discuss the recent acts of terrorism in Oslo, Norway. No sane person, and certainly no Christian worthy of the name, could possibly condone such horrific activity. Link

News Bias, Civil Disobedience, and John Adams’ Rule of Thumb

image"I heartily accept the motto, 'That government is best which governs least;' and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe -- 'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which we will have." -- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) From his essay "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" 1849 "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -- George Washington (1732-1799)

Time to Reboot America

image"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." "We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." -- George Orwell, author of "1984" (1903-1950) I originally titled this article as a query, "Time To Reboot America?," but after a little thought realized that there is no question -- it is past time to reboot America. By "reboot" I mean that it is time for "we the people" to avail ourselves of the instructions left to us by the Founders:

We Know They Know and United in Hate vs. United We Stand Part II

"The real disunity is between a doomed Status Quo and those willing to deal with reality. Right now those willing to deal with reality are few, but they have the distinct advantage of reality on their side, while the Status Quo has only propaganda, artifice, phony political theater and empty promises. ...Every attempt to lead the public toward the realization that the present is unsustainable will be crushed by a frantic assault of the fiefdoms, cartels and players who will lose power and profits when the Status Quo crumbles under its own weight." -- Charles Hugh Smith "The Shape of Things To Come"

United in Hate vs. United We Stand

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." --Ephesians 6:10--13 (NKJV) "My friends, we will stand together. We will stand firm. We will not submit. Never. Not in Israel, not in Europe, not in America. Nowhere." --Geert Wilders Nashville, TN, May 11, 2011

Bachmann/West, Identity Politics, and Nuclear Trouble in the Heartland

This article consists of some quick thoughts thrown out for reader reaction and edification. First I would appreciate some feedback on a Bachmann/West ticket for 2012. I ask this knowing that (1) the Presidential campaign may be something of a moot point by the time November 2012 rolls around, and (2) there is growing resentment over the refusal of Congressional members to address Obama's eligibility to be POTUS -- Bachmann and West included.

Up and Down With Demonic

"Democrats are the heirs to the French Revolution, the uprising of the mob. ...It was the Rousseauian idea of a few select individuals exercising the "general will" that gave the world the gulag, the concentration camp, the killing fields, the reeducation camps, and corpse upon corpse without end. ...France was one of the most advanced, sophisticated, important nations in the world.... In the blink of an eye, a great civilization was reduced to rubble, its most valuable citizens dead or living elsewhere. ...How did the nation of Voltaire, Descartes, Pascal, and Molière transform itself into a bloody saturnalia overnight? This is a question liberals don't want us to think about." -- Ann Coulter Demonic

Nazi Homosexuals and the Slow Steady Seduction of America

image"The American homosexual movement really only began in the 1940s after the Allied defeat of the Nazis. ...the center of international "gay" power in the world did in fact shift from Germany to the United States after the demise of the Third Reich. This represented a huge setback for the "gay" movement, requiring it to begin "from scratch" as it were, since America in the 1940s was at least as family-centered as Germany had been in the 1860s." --From "The Pink Swastika"

Republican Candidates and Ticking Time

In spite of the Progressive propaganda machine's furious spin, Jerome Corsi's book "Where's the Birth Certificate" has quickly made the bestseller lists: #6 on the "NY Times" list, #1 on Amazon's, and I suspect it is just getting started. Spin that pin-heads. Link

Left West, Right West, and Other Matters of Balance

image"I'm up on the tightrope, one side's hate and one is hope But the top-hat on my head is all you see.... I'm up on the tightwire, linked by life and the funeral pyre Putting on a show for you to see" --Leon Russell "Tight Rope" One-time Obama supporter and Princeton professor, Cornel West, has come under scathing attacks by the liberal media for daring to criticize Obama. They do so hate it when one of their own strays too far from the "plantation." Let me say to Mr. West -- "Welcome to the party, pal."

The Mad Marine of Matareva: A Cautionary Tale

Since the Obama Administration and Congress keep pressuring the US military to "queer-up," a story from James Michener's autobiographical "The World Is My Home," may be in order. Link The late James Michener spent two tours (four years) of duty as a US Naval officer in the Pacific theater during WW II. It was his experiences, and the stories he heard during that period, that formed the basis for his book "Tales of the South Pacific" -- later turned into the musical play, and movie, "South Pacific."

The Homosexual Agenda and the US Military

"At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won." -- From "The Overhauling of Straight America" November, 1987

Obama, Osama, and Wagging the Dog

"There's something awfully screwy going on around here." -- Elmer Fudd It's no joke that ever-increasingly the American people distrust the news media. I would imagine that the Marxist/Fascist/NWO globalists must find it tiresome to have spent all that time, effort, and money to infiltrate, subvert, and pervert America's various news venues, just to have "we the people" do an end-round, and get our news from the Internet and radio. Well, the best laid plans o' mice and men, and all that.

A Scary Story of Facsimiles and Forgery

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Some Questions about the Obama Birth Certificate

After researching the new Obama long form COLB (Certificate Of Live Birth), I'm left with three questions: Are they really that stupid? Do they think that "we the people" are that stupid? Are "we the people" being set up for something?

Supporting Trump with Care and Caution

"Tyranny is always better organized than freedom." -- Charles Peguy (1873-1914) "Fear and Loathing" is a phrase made famous by the late Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalist extraordinaire. I recall an old "Rolling Stone" magazine article in which he endorsed Jimmy Carter for President -- with fear and loathing.

Flushing Out RINOs, Neo-cons, Faux Conservatives, Controlled Opposition, and the Clueless

"There is something on it that he [Obama] doesn't like." -- Donald Trump on Obama's birth certificate The existence of the United States as a free republic under the rule of Constitutional law, hinges on how "we the people" deal with the the issue of Obama's eligibility to be POTUS. Remolding the US Constitution into a "living" constitution, a "plastic" constitution, a changeable constitution, is to destroy the Constitution, and the United States as a free republic.
