ARE WE DEALING WITH THE DEVL???


BLOG POST 1 - Dealing With The Devil

I am experiencing an ongoing quandary regarding my continued presence on Social Media because it is becoming more and more apparent that, in doing so, I am dealing with the devil.  However, I have always believed that the real fight is not preaching to the choir but going into the trenches where the devil is, and “plucking some as brands from the burning” and “storming the very gates of hell with the Good News.”  Therefore, as much as I distrust and dislike the censorship, diabolical leftist ideological positions of Facebook and other Social Media outlets, it is where much of the fight for America, Sanity, Reason, Clarity exists, and provides a medium whereby I can articulate (as best I can) conservative, constitutional, and Christian views.

We know the toxicity of the liberal views embraced by Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  Therefore, when we participate or utilize those mediums to advance the cause of Freedom and fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom we do so without blinders.  We know that we are subject to being censored, banned, blocked, and placed in the PC Jail for a period of time.  I have been warned, blocked, and had posts deleted by Facebook but until they kick me completely off that outlet I will continue to bring the fight to the trenches and try as valiantly as possible to persuade some, even one of the validity of the Constitutional argument politically in America.  I wish I knew how many I have positively affected, but I don’t.  I hear from some from time to time who are like-minded and their encouragement keeps me plodding along.  I stand on a passage from Galatians 6 which encourages me, no commands me, to not grow weary in well-doing for in DUE SEASON I have the promise of HARVEST.  I also stand on the Promise that Jesus will NEVER leave me nor forsake me.  Then the words of James 4 keep echoing in my mind, “…him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”  HOW CAN I KEEP SILENT?  How can I become mute when so much is at stake not only for this present generation but for posterity? 

Some time back another bombshell exploded regarding Facebook’s collusion with the Democrats and even foreign governments to the detriment of its participants.  Facebook confirmed that it shared user data with the Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei.  However, that was not the only Chinese company Mr. Zuckerberg funneled information, at a price of course.  He also shared user data with Lenovo, Oppo, and TCL.  He contends that the shared data never made it to Chinese servers.  Please pause while I watch the flying pigs that are attempting to land in my backyard where the Unicorns are grazing.  Hey, if you believe him, I would like to offer you some pristine oceanfront property in the middle of the desert in Arizona and if the price is right, I’ll throw the Golden Gate Bridge in free.  HOGWASH is the nicest word I can think of to comment on his assertion and claim.

Facebook has been funneling information to the Leftist, Liberal Democrats for some time and has taken a very strong stance for Muslims, same-sex marriages, open borders, and much more.  The hierarchy in Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, etc. have been significant contributors to the Democrat Party and especially, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  You can post virtually anything you want on those mediums against Donald Trump, Conservatives, Constitutionalist, and/or Christians but if you post any biblical views of homosexuality, same-sex marriages, or any other view you are likely to be blocked and placed in the Facebook jail for a time.

If it were only one foreign entity or government involved that might be something we could overlook but Facebook has acknowledged giving deep access to at least 60 device-makers including Apple, Amazon, BlackBerry, Microsoft, and Samsung.  Some of those device makers retrieve data from data users’ friends without their explicit consent.  That is and should be disturbing and not something that I can simply say, “Oh, well that is the new world of technology.”  Privacy is rapidly becoming a dinosaur and facing extinction but Constitutionally it is supposed to be one of our guarded rights.  We are all familiar with the misuse of private information by the political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica.  I am convinced that this type of “spying” and invading our privacy is far more widespread that we see as we look at the tip of the data iceberg.  We know that the Federal Government has been collecting metadata for many years and supposedly not abusing our right to privacy.  However, the Russian Collusion Scam has revealed how far from the truth that really is and how extensive the information the Federal Government and Social Media collects on every America citizen.  Most of it is unethical if not a blatant violation of our Privacy Laws and a usurpation of our Constitutional Rights. 

Someone said, “Facebook is like having locks installed on the doors of your home only to find that the locksmith gave out keys to all his friends so they can come in and rifle through your belongings without your permission.”  Only recently has Facebook acknowledged that some of its partners are storing private data on their servers.  They argue, that no matter where the data is stored, it is guarded by strict agreements between Facebook and the companies or governments.  How do I stop laughing or crying at that assertion?  That would be like giving the keys to the prison to the inmates and say, you can roam the halls but you cannot abuse your privilege or go outside.  How about hiring the fox to guard the hen house?  I’m sure the wolf would love to be the watchman over the sheep and would gladly agree to not eat them.  At least not while you were looking.  PLEASE, Mr. Zuckerberg and Leftist, we may be allowing you to get away with much but some of us are not completely brain dead – WE ACTUALLY THINK and REASON.

What do we do?  We protect our private information as much as possible and cautiously place personal information on any Internet site.  We realize that this kind of activity will continue UNTIL and UNLESS we the people find it within ourselves to demand a return to Constitutionality in America and send people to Washington who will honor the Constitution and truly become guardians of our inalienable rights and freedoms.  There are some Republicans as well as Democrats who need to be evicted from their DC Shrine and kicked off their political pedestals.   If we want to return to being “One nation under God with liberty and justice for all where everyone is viewed as being created equal with the God-given right to Life, Liberty, and allowed to pursue Happiness we MUST become involved.”  HOW MUCH IS YOUR FREEDOM WORTH?  The answer to that question will determine your action or inaction in the November mid-term elections.  Only you can decide!

God bless you and God bless America!        

INALIENABLE RIGHTS, not SUBJECTIVE RIGHTS…


BLOG POST 7 - Inalienable not Subjective

We either have a Constitution which enumerates certain “inalienable rights” or we do not.  According to those following the Liberal Agenda largely fronted by the Democratic Party, some Establishment RINO Republicans, the Main Stream Media, and many Hollywood Elitists the 2nd Amendment IS NOT an Inalienable Right of Every Law Abiding Citizen.  They construct the Constitution in such a manner as to obliterate the view of the Founding and Framers, and totally ignore historical evidence that it means INDIVIDUALS not simply organized Militias.

I want to take a stroll through history and if you care to join me you are most welcome.  I want us to consider some of the overlooked facts the “gun grabbers” conveniently omit from their plethora of arguments devoid of facts.  If you honestly examine history, not just that of the United States, the Colonies, but British Law and British Constitutions you will discover something amazing regarding the “Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”  The Colonist, pre-revolution recognized the RIGHT of every person to “keep and bear arms”.  They understood that that right was not something the government could or should attempt to tamper with for they viewed it as a basic human right or inalienable right that came from God Himself, not the government.  What you may or may not know is that the concept of the right to “keep and bear arms” did not begin with the Bill of Rights it predated dating back to the 17th Century in England.

The fact that the Colonist eventually revolted against the British Crown makes British history of significant importance in this matter.  The individual’s right to own a gun was settled in Britain in 1689 and the historical record indicates that not only was it recognized that every British citizen had a right to “own a gun” they were expected to do so.  The British Declaration Bill of Rights in 1689 listed among the grievances of the British subjects that the Crown was violating the individual right to own firearms.  The debate seems to have centered on the 1662 Militia Act which focused on the confiscation of private firearms.  Sound familiar?  Where they were is exactly where the Leftist want to take us today.  I suggest the results will be similar if the Left actually achieves their goal of a “gun confiscation” law.  The Act in 1689 did not create a new individual right, it recognized an existing one. They deemed the right to belong to the individual not the collective and the individual right to “keep and bear arms” was for the “common defense” and for individual “self-defense.”   WAKE UP LEFTIST, History is against you in your inane argument that the gun is the problem and your wrong argument that the right means MILITIA, not INDIVIDUALS.  You are wrong!

I find it completely understandable that one of the first outbreaks of resistance at Lexington and Concord came as a result of the British Army attempting to confiscate the firearms of individuals.  Our own Declaration of Independence clearly states that there are inalienable rights and among those are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  That statement and recognition necessitate the right to own guns for the purpose of securing both life and liberty.  Long before the Second Amendment, British Common Law adopted in the Colonies respected private ownership of firearms.  And yes, Alice, they had the same type of firearms as did the Militia and no it was not intended to restrict that to a black-powder single shot musket.  I find it powerful that in Pennsylvania their constitution specifically stated, “the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state.”  If you will check the record you will find that no less than nine (9), state constitutions adopted in the 18th century or early 19th century acknowledged the right to bear arms for “self-defense.”

The Founders and Framers including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and Thomas Paine to name a few demanded the right be kept intact.  I guess they would be labeled “deplorables” by the Left today and called every unconscionable name in the books for their position on this inalienable right.  Alexander Hamilton went so far as to argue that the greatest threat to liberty was if the government ever deprived the citizens of the right to “keep and bear arms” and called it the “original right of self-defense.”  Richard Henry Lee believed that every citizen should be armed.  In fact, North Carolina and Rhode Island refused to sign off on the new Constitution until this right was guaranteed by amendment.

I challenge you to study the writings and work of James Madison and you will find that his original intent was to insert this right into Article I, Section 9 between Clauses 3 and 4.  This is where we find the topic of Individual Rights covered.  If Madison believed and intended that this right was “collective” he would have inserted it in Article I, Section 8 where Congress’ powers over the militia are detailed.  The original wording of Madison on this issue was: “that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, a well-armed and well-regulated militia being the best security of a free country, but no conscientious objector shall be compelled to render military service in person.”  He meant it to be clear that this was an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT.

Therefore, for all who support “gun control”, “gun confiscation”, or “gun bans” and argue that the Constitution is outdated and the second amendment is a dinosaur law and so archaic that it needs to be removed from our document and trashed, I argue from history you are wrong!  The Second Amendment is not simply an 18th-century idea who time has expired it is timeless because it codifies a natural or inalienable right.  There is nothing unclear about this right or the wording in the Constitution. I suggest that if they win and take from us the Second Amendment Right they will take from us all other Rights including the First and Fourth Amendments and effectively makes us slaves to the whims of the State and the governance and oversight of Big Brother.

This is one of the many reasons I will vote NO on the Democrats in November and vote YES on the Republican because, at this point, the Republicans are not at war with our Inalienable Rights and give us a better pathway to reclaiming our Republic.  Disagree if you please, but NEVER accuse me of trashing my principles by voting for a candidate who may not fully embody those characteristics I hold dear as a Christian.  I am VOTING YES on America and I believe that is a very principled thing to do.  Allowing the Liberal Leftist Democrats to regain power would be to take steps backward that I do not believe we can afford.  I don’t care what anyone calls me, that is my position and it is rooted in Prayer, my Faith in God, my belief and love for America, and my desire to remain Free!

God bless you and God bless America!

THE PRISON OF PAIN…


BLOG POST 1 - Pain

As many of you are aware, I have been dealing with some excruciating physical pain over the past few days.  I don’t like to bring my personal pain into the conversation other than simply to request prayer.  That is not because I do not want others to be aware of my struggles but because I never want the focus to be me.  However, there are times when our personal and physical pain exceeds our ability to deal with it without the help, comfort, and strength of others.  A few years ago, I wrote a book entitled, “Prison of Pain”.  That book was birthed out of personal experience and observation of the ravages of pain in the lives of people and even nations.  Pain whether it is of a physical nature, emotional or spiritual can be and often is devastating.  Pain can lock a person in a prison as real as one of brick and mortar, bars and chains, and the armed guards may not be mortal men but spiritual or within one’s mind, but the result is the same PRISON.

The pain that I am enduring pales in comparison to that of many including my wife Bonnie who is battling Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer and others in similar situations.  The Prison of the Pain of Abandonment, which many are experiencing, is a most excruciating experience and often drives people to thoughts of suicide.  The Pain of Loss in life is a diabolical taskmaster and imprisons to the point that rational thought is almost impossible.  There are many types of pain and if that pain rises to the level that it occupies almost every waking thought it can and often does become a Prison and in that state of captivity, the prisoner is placed in a state and condition where they experience HOPELESSNESS.

What is the level of pain on a scale of 1 to 10 is the question always asked by the medical profession?  I have been asked that question and then on one occasion immediately following the question was the corrective addendum, “Pain Level Ten is where one is so tormented by that pain they entertain thoughts of suicide.”  My response was and is, “since I have never knowingly entertained the thought of ending my own life, I must not be a Level Ten, but whatever level is just beneath that I am dangerously close to that level.”  I’ve been reading the Book of Job and as I read from day to day new things would present themselves to add to my calamity and pain.  I laughed and cried out to the Lord, “Lord, in no way, do I compare myself to Job, but this is almost too coincidental for words.”  As I laughed and cried I recalled the last chapter of that Book and rejoiced because Job was restored and received a double portion.  Also, in the last chapter of the Book of Revelation, I find that WE WIN and the devil loses.

But, my purpose is not to address my physical pain.  I deeply appreciate the many prayers offered on my behalf.  My physical pain cannot be compared to the pain in the hearts of every true American Patriot today.  As we witness the drift and shift of many in this great nation moving far from the moorings and charted path of our Framers and Founders, we experience Pain of such enormity it is almost unbearable.  The Pain in my heart that cannot be cured with an injection, a pain pill, or even natural surgery comes from the many who embrace the idea of Socialism for America.  I have witnessed, first hand, the pain in the eyes of those living under the tyranny of Socialism and Communism.  I have heard the hopelessness in the voices of those citizens and viewed the abject poverty that is produced for the masses under those systems of government and economy.  The Pain in my heart rises from the heartbreaking result of the indoctrination of generations that convinces them that abandoning our moral and spiritual moorings as a nation is the better route for America.

As I reflect on the selfless sacrifices of the hundreds and thousands of men and women who paid the ultimate price in the fight for Independence, Liberty, and Freedom in the Revolutionary War, my pain level rises.  We know the names of the most prominent among them, the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution but what of those many average citizens who held the dream of Liberty and Freedom in their hearts and fought and died for that vision.  They, as in our other Wars for Freedom and the fight against Socialism and Communism around the world, were not simply thinking of themselves but their children, grandchildren and future generations.  Those following the new move toward Socialism do not know Pain to the level of those peoples in countries who have known those systems of government for generations, but they will and that causes incredible Pain in the hearts of the true American Patriots.  We know where the abandonment of our Republican System of Government and Free Market Economy leads and the Prison of Pain that accompanies the fulfillment of that agenda.

Those today who have or are allowing hate to cloud their minds and fill their hearts do not realize the Prison they are creating and will become incarcerated in emotionally, mentally, spiritually, if not physically.  That causes the level of Pain in the hearts of the true American Patriots to rise to a new level and it is excruciating.  Those today who believe that abandoning our moral and spiritual moorings as a Republic will have no negative consequences have not carefully examined history, studied those nations and peoples who are living under the type of government this movement desires.  In America today, we have problems and there are flaws in our government.  Those flaws are not the fault of our Constitutional System of Government but the corruption of man and the slow but systematic modification of our Constitution without following the mandated method via Amendments ratified by the individual States and citizens of those States.  We will not solve any of the problems existing in our nation by abandoning our Constitution and embracing a System of Government that has failed everywhere it has been or is being tried.  The result will be a Prison of Pain for all except those in Power.

I have been out of touch with social media, much of the news, and virtually absent from engagement with the internet for days and my focus and thoughts have been on personal matters, including physical pain to a degree.  However, the major thrust of my focus has been on God, America, and our Founding Principles and Precepts which produced America, the Land of the Free because of the Brave.  I, like you, love this nation and believe that we have existed because of the principles espoused in our Declaration of Independence, expressed and codified in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and demonstrated in the selfless sacrifices of millions through the generations.  If we abandon our founding moorings and drift from our moral foundation as a nation we will create a PRISON of PAIN beyond anyone ability to imagine. 

Regardless of whether you consider yourself a Democrat or a Republican, if you truly want to see America be and remain the America that was a Beacon of Hope to the World and the Freedom and Liberty expressed in our Declaration of Independence and our Pledge of Allegiance then I beg of you to join together and STOP THE INSANITY that is being advanced in America today.  We can demand from the elected officials a return to Constitutional Government and that return will provide a means of recovery and deliverance from that Prison of which I allude.

God bless you and God bless America!

HATE ME IF YOU PLEASE, BUT I COULD NEVER BE A DEMOCRAT BECAUSE…


BLOG POST 3 - Never Be A Democrat

I normally do not write this blog on Sundays but feel that I need to offer it.  I realize that a title like this will probably earn me the angst of some and bring out the haters who will hurl vitriolic hateful comments.  However, if you will give me an opportunity I will qualify my title and offer some reasons for my position.  You may disagree with them, and that is your God-given, Constitutional, inalienable right.  However, I would remind you that I have the same right to form an opinion and express it.  I will tolerate your disagreement if you will tolerate mine.  That being said, let me delve into some of the many reasons I cannot support the Leftist, Liberal, Socialist, Progressive, Globalist Agenda and Ideology of the National Democrat Party.  I will offer these not necessarily in the order of importance to me.

Number One, Liberal Democrats such as Virginia’s former Governor Terry McAuliffe’s restoration of rights to ‘felons’.  The result is that we now have a convicted pedophile who threatened to kill President George W. Bush is now legally able to run for Congress in Virginia.  That is the result of Governor McAuliffe restoring ‘voting rights’ to thousands of felons. The convicted pedophile is running as an Independent candidate in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.  Huffington Post interviewed him and he expressed pro-pedophilia and incest views calling it NORMAL for men to be attracted to underage women.  He has posted online articles entitled, “Advantages of Father-Daughter Incest”, “The Justifiability of an Incel’s Kidnapping a Girl and Keeper as His Rape-Slave for Sex and Babymaking.”  He supports making “child pornography” legal and restoring “benevolent white supremacy” and “patriarchy.”  He has referred to Adolf Hitler as a “white supremacist hero.”  His being allowed to run for office is the result of a Liberal Leftist Democrat in power making decisions that ultimately endanger the public and makes a sham of our political system.  I seriously doubt that Virginian’s will elect him but the fact that someone with that history and point of view could run for office is disgusting.

Second, the Liberal Leftist Democrat Establishment and Leadership, as well as Hollywood elitist, have voiced support of the diabolical and dangerous criminals MS-13. They have taken the position of supporting Hamas vs Israel.  They continually defend the hateful comments and commentaries of people like Bill Maher, Samantha Bee, Joy Reid, Joy Behar, Keith Olbermann, Jemele Hill, Kathy Griffin, Robert DE Niro and scores of others while attacking anyone espousing a conservative view.  The vileness and destructive hate that is being expressed by Democrats such as Barbra Streisand who blamed President Trump for Samantha Bee’s comments and those calling for the murder of white people, especially white men calling us crackers are ignored and even lauded.  But Rosanne Barr (who I am not trying to defend) are to be burned at the stake and boiled in oil.  It is more than a double standard it is Destructive Hate that is dividing this nation.  Barack and Michelle Obama during their time in the White House did more to expand the racial divide than any president past or present.  Yet, they are excused.  Hillary called those not voting for her DEPLORABLES and a Leftist went on national television and insisted that everyone who voted for Donald Trump was a ‘racist.’  That was glossed over and excused.  I will not support that kind of hate and hypocrisy in any candidate or party.

Third, the never-ending perversion of our justice system and the abuse of political power by the Democrats as clearly revealed in the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and Democrats to continue an Investigation that is clearly the investigation of a person trying to find a crime.  That is the reverse of what our criminal justice system is supposed to be about, but that is the result of the Never Trump and Destroy Trump mantra of the Democrats.  The partisan players in the Mueller Investigation and the revealed antics of the Obama DOJ, FBI, and CIA make it clear that the desire of the Democrats is to stop Trump even if it means the destruction of our Constitutional Form of Government.  They are pro-Amnesty, pro-Open Borders, pro-abortion, and pro-gun control which makes them anti-Constitutionalism and I view that as Un-American to their core.

Fourth, the announced plan of the Democrats to repeal the Trump “tax cuts”, etch in granite Obamacare, open our borders, allow Iran and other tyrannical nations to obtain nuclear weapons, and more is more than I can stomach.  How could I vote for things that are bad for America and bad for Americans?  I am pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-First Amendment, anti-terrorism, and pro a Strong National Defense and Secure Border, to name a few things.  The Democrats, at least nationally, have embraced virtually everything that I oppose and view as an attack on my faith, the constitution, and my inalienable rights.  Constitutionally, Congress has no right or authority to confiscate any wealth (as if I had any) and redistribute it to another.  I have the sole right to be charitable with what I possess and I have the sole right to not be charitable.  It is my choice and my right.  No one has the right to what I have earned and to take it from me by edict or forces should be so reprehensible to all politicians it would cease immediately.  That is not the mantra or modus operandi of the Democrats for they have proven to be the Party of Tax, Tax, Tax, and Spend, Spend, Spend or should I say Confiscate and Redistribute for the sole purpose of “buying votes” and “solidifying power.”  Control is their objective.

Those are four areas that prevent me from being a Democrat.  Before you go off on me or make the claim that Republicans are no better, they are.  At least, on a National Party Platform, they are.  They are far from pristine and pure, but they are not seeking to raise our taxes, open our borders, support heinous murders such as Hamas, MS-13, Islamic Terrorist, and Street Gangs in many of the largest liberal cities in America.  They are largely pro-life and that is a very big issue for me.  They are openly in support of our inalienable rights, especially our 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendment Rights.  They are not waging war on Christianity and do not support the witch hunt of ousting a lawfully elected president because they don’t like him.  Some of them are very opposed to President Trump but, at this juncture, the Republicans are not seeking to Impeach and Oust him based on their preference for someone else.

November 2018 is a tipping point for our Republic and our nation is clearly at a cross-road.  If we allow the Democrats to regain control of one or both houses of Congress we will have helped to facilitate the ‘fundamental transformation’ desired by Barack Obama and the Globalist controlling things behind the scenes such as George Soros.  If we allow the Democrats to regain power we will see the erasure of the advances we have made in the year and a half that Trump has been president.  DO YOU WANT THAT?  ARE YOU WILLING TO LET THAT HAPPEN?  Those questions must be asked and answered before you vote in November and hopefully, they will prompt you to VOTE and cause you to VOTE in a way that prevents the Democrats from regaining power.

God bless you and God bless America!

ARE WE SEEING A RAY OF HOPE???


BLOG POST 2 - Ray of Hope

I try to remain optimistic about everything in life.  In matters spiritual, I can manage that but when it comes to the American political scene I sometimes have difficulty.  There is a mountain of reasons for that and the major reasons I remain optimistic are GOD and American Patriots.  I still believe that most Americans want to maintain and retain our Constitutional Republic and preserve our Inalienable Rights and Freedoms.  Within that group, there are vast differences of opinion and some incredible ideological divides but I still believe that most want the United States of America to resist Socialism and be a Free Sovereign Nation.  I could be wrong and there are signs that say I am and signs that say I am not. 

The Democratic Party is rapidly moving toward radicalism politically that embraces Socialism, supports the dismantling of our Republic as a Free Sovereign Nation by eliminating our borders, endorse the Entitlement Mentality (Socialism in Action), and desires Big Government.  The idea that all America’s problems stem from our Constitution (outdated in their view), White Men, Big Business, and the Rich (the class many of them are charter members). 

Among the many things that clearly identify the shift or continued move of the Leftist Liberal Socialist Progressive Globalist (Democrats & RINOs) toward Socialism was evidenced in New York when an Establishment Democrat Incumbent was defeated by an avoid Socialist of the Bernie Sanders cult.  Then in California, the Democratic Party has refused to endorse incredibly liberal Senator Diane Feinstein and endorsed her Democratic opponent, Kevin De Leon.  With California’s “jungle primary” system means that he will be her opponent in November.  No Republican will be on the ballot.  De Leon wants to abolish ICE and implement many other Socialist and radical policies.  He received 65% of the California Democrat Executive Board.  In the Primary she defeated him 44% to 12% but the California Democratic Establishment in keeping with the mindset that has been painfully apparent in that State’s Leftist is FAR FAR LEFT with no thought of compromise or middle ground.  What will happen?  Feinstein will probably win but with the strong endorsement of the State Party Establishment and the supply of funds he will likely receive, it presents the prospects of being a very ugly race and that could hurt the Democrats both in that State and across the Nation.  I hope I’m seeing a Ray of Hope!

Another thing that gives me hope is Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia had some strong words for Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer regarding President Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.  Chuck Schumer had previously made a statement about “whipping votes” among the party caucus.  Manchin said, “I’ll be 71 years old in August, you’re going to whip me?  Kiss my you know what.”  That is hopefully an indication that Schumer and the Toxicity of Liberalism that has a death grip on the Democratic Party is losing its power.    There are other Democrats who have joined Manchin publicly sending a shot across Schumer’s bow.  Senator Joe Donnelly, (D-IN) said, “My decision won’t have anything to do with Chuck Schumer.”  Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) was the third Democrat in the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to join Republicans in the confirmation vote.  I take that as a Ray of Hope and hope that I am not being overly optimistic.  The reality is, if all 51 Republicans vote YES, the Democrats can scream about a return to slavery or the end of women’s rights, or the impending slaughter of gay people till they are blue in the face and it will do them no good.  Anyone with any sense of reason and possessing any intelligence knows that those charges are TOTAL FABRICATIONS and designed as Scare Tactics, not realities.

I see a continued shift of the Leftist Liberal Democrats toward Socialism and the creation of an Oligarchy that strips Americans of their Rights, Freedoms, and Liberties.  I see a move toward Political Correctness becoming the Law of the Land if they regain power and control of Congress and/or the White House.  Their desire to grow government, grant amnesty to the illegals (their new voting base), raise taxes for more entitlement spending (to buy votes), and censorship of any views not consistent with their own.  They have an expressed desire to repeal the 2nd Amendment, not by the constitutional process but by legislation or executive edicts and the continued corruption of federal law enforcement.  I see a Democratic victory in November as the dark cloud of destruction for America as the Constitutional Republic we have known and enjoyed.  I could see that and the complicity of the propaganda arm of the Leftist, the Main Stream Media providing 24/7 spin and indoctrination to advance their cause and report their lies as truth and facts and grow despondent.  However, what I saw in 2016 was a rejection by America of the Leftist Agenda and the Propaganda of the Media.  That gives me a Ray of Hope in what would otherwise seem hopeless.

Another Ray of Hope is in the continued evidence that most American Voters reject Socialism for America.  The Democratic Party’s new mantra is FREEBIES and their embrace of Socialism should send chills down the spine of every Freedom Loving American.  A Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey reported that 74% of likely U.S. voters prefer a Free Market Economic System to Socialism.  Only 13% of those surveyed expressed a preference for Socialism and there were 13% who were undecided. How that is possible?  I can only explain by the tendency of some of the docile sheep to think they can stay on the fence and the wolf won’t eat them.  I could find it incredibly depressing that 13% of voters in America could ever embrace the idea of Socialism.  One commentator said, “Being undecided between Socialism and Free Market Capitalism is like being undecided between Bar Refaeli and Nancy Pelosi. But I suppose you could find 13% of poll respondents would say the Sun rises in the West.”  Today’s face of Socialism is Venezuela and if you do some simple examination you will find what a disaster that is.  WHO COULD PREFER THAT TO AMERICA?  That gives me a Ray of Hope!

AMERICAN PATRIOTS, I ask you to seriously think about what is happening and the dangers that will become real calamities should the Democrats win in November.  I wish we had a smorgasbord of choices and could pick and choose whatever we preferred and be successful in moving America toward continued Freedom and Liberty but we do not.  We have a choice of voting in such a way as to DEFEAT the DEMOCRATS or vote in such a way that EMPOWERS and ENABLES THEM in November.  My brother said correctly, “We MUST defeat the Democrats in November and then in 2020 and beyond we MUST work to primary as many RINOs and Establishment Republicans who will not support the Constitution and defend our Inalienable Rights as possible.”  That being said, in this election I see only one option and that is to DEFEAT THE LEFTISTS.  I pray that you will agree and join those of us who are fighting for America and our American Freedom.

God bless you and God bless America!

EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS…


BLOG POST 1 - not what it seeems

The surface is not always a clear picture of the whole, only the part that is visible and can be used emotionally to elicit a particular response or attitude.  The clamor over the children separated from their parents, as my friend Jack Niewold recently said regarding the mass hysteria of the Leftist is most assuredly a spectacle to behold.  The Democrats want to keep the “families” together and as Jack stated, “and effectively release them into the interior of the country, where they disappear.”  WHY?  Why do the Democrats want to do this?  That is too easy to miss.  It is not the moral aspect or even the humane dimension of the issue but is two-fold, “keep the Republicans in a negative light in the public view” and “build the Democrat voting base in the future.”  This issue is far more complicated than the surface knee-jerk reaction that is being displayed and politicians are falling prey to the ploy including many Republicans who should know better.

Jack pointed out that this opens the door for the Mexican Drug Cartel’s and human traffickers to abduct and sell children as a free pass into the United States.  IS THAT WHAT WE WANT?  No, but no one is talking about the real problem and no one wants to acknowledge that the children are separated from their parents for a very short time, normally.  Additionally, those children are in a much safer housing and sustenance situation than they would be if they stayed with their parents.  Photo ops play a far bigger role in moving the needle than truth, facts, or cognitive reason.  Whatever happened to good old “common or in today’s society uncommon sense?” 

I saw the response of Hillary Clinton to Jeff Sessions and others as she claimed to be a biblical expert, having studied both the Old and New Testaments.  I have seen nothing in Hillary Clinton that makes me think of a Bible Scholar or a Saint, but alas, I am just a mere mortal who loves America and wants the hypocrisy and rhetoric to cease.  Her purpose is to turn as much of America as possible against President Trump and the Republicans and paint fallacious pictures of what is really happening on the border with the “children.”  None of us want the inhumane treatment of children or anyone else for that matter but we also want to ensure the safety of America for Americans who are here legally.  Yes, we want to exhibit compassion and empathy but we must not simply become caught up in the moment and allow a particular bias or hatred fuel our reactions and plunge us over the abysmal cliff to destruction as a nation and a free people.

I am an ordained minister and I have studied the Old and New Testaments for almost 50 years, so I believe I can speak with as much qualification as does Hillary Rodham Clinton.  I have studied the original languages, served as senior pastor, traveled as an evangelist, and worked with numerous ministries and charities and taught the Bible for decades.  Hillary claimed that Bill spent Father’s Day thinking about the thousands of children separated from their parents at the border.  REALLY?  That would be quite a change from the demonstrated womanizer who has spent most of his adult life chasing skirts rather than fending for the children.  I can only think about the Clinton Foundation and the fraud involved in their raising millions for Haiti and yet only a trickle of that got to those it was supposedly intended to help.  However, millions made its way into the pockets of the Clintons.  So, Hillary, I must ask, “When did Bill get that particular epiphany?”  Wait, was it the children of his pedophile friend where underaged girls were molested, abused, sodomized, and passed around to anyone who could afford the price?  Yes, I’m being harsh but how many times did he visit that island?  He would not be the poster boy to speak of someone thinking about the Children.

Hillary attempted to use Matthew 19:14 as the proof-text for her argument saying, “Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto Me.  He did not say let the little children suffer.”  [Hillary’s interpretation of that passage].  Unfortunately for Ms. Clinton that verse did not contend or justify the exploitation of children for the maniacal self-serving purpose of deconstruction of a Constitutionally ordered society.  I find it astounding that there is such an uproar over the few thousand children on the border being temporarily separated from their parents while there is not so much as a whimper over the 60 MILLION babies separated from their parents in ABORTION.  If we are going to express concern about the CHILDREN let’s include the UNBORN, for they too are children being separated from their parents.  Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot that to Hillary and the Leftist those are not HUMAN BEINGS but mere globs of tissue.  Forget the fact, they have fingerprints, heartbeats, and can feel.  That is inconsequential for in Hillary’s expressed view, they are not human beings UNTIL they have exited the birth canal in a live birth.  However, she and they must modify that too because they allow “partial birth abortions” where babies in a botched abortion are slaughtered and somehow find it morally justifiable.  So much for using biblical principles, for if you are going to be consistent with Scripture you would use the whole of scripture, not partial texts to support your argument.

It seems that nothing in politics is what it appears on the surface and another reason that so few trust politicians.  The history and track record of most politicians and politics, in general, have earned that distrust and disrespect.  Therefore, I contend that we cannot depend on politicians to solve the problems of our society or even our government.  We continue to send people to Washington to govern who are more interested in their agenda and personal gain than they are about America.  WHAT DO WE DO?  We can complain and continue to reelect them or we can PRAY, WORK, VET, SUPPORT, and ELECT men and women who will honestly and devotedly follow the Rule of Law and the Constitution.  That is much easier to advance as a possible solution than it is to make a reality.  That means some of those hearing this will need to become involved as candidates.  We begin at the lowest level of government and work toward the top.  Many of us do not have enough time left in this life to see it become reality but we can lay the groundwork for those following to pick up the Torch of Freedom and Run for the Cause.  Please, hear me, we MUST NOT ALLOW the Leftist Liberal Progressive Socialist Globalist to return to power in November.  WE MUST NOT! 

God bless you and God bless America is my prayer and desire!

THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF HATE…


BLOG POST 1 - hATE

I wish that I did not feel the need to write this article on HATE but I do.  I wish that the answer to Rodney King’s question, “Can’t we all just get along?” was YES, but it isn’t.  I wish that we could agree to disagree, be amicable, fight for our ideological positions in a civil manner, but it seems we cannot.  At least not in today’s PC Correct Political World.

It is my contention that the Liberal Left hates Donald J. Trump with such a passion that they would dance in the streets were he to meet his demise and no longer be present on Planet Earth.  I also contend that they hate him, not just because of who he is but because he has, largely, sided with those of us on the Right who stand for Conservative Constitutional Christian values.  They hate us and they hate him and now it is virtually impossible to determine who they hate more, him or us – but HATE US THEY DO.

Remember Hillary calling us DEPLORABLES and Obama’s description of us was BITTER CLINGERS who held onto our guns and their religion.  They hated us long before Donald Trump arrived on the political scene and will hate us long after he is gone.  The Inspector General’s report confirmed what it denied – POLITICAL BIAS in the FBI and if the truth were told in the DOJ, CIA, NSA, Homeland, and so many governmental bureaucracies.  The political bias is one-sided as was clearly revealed in the IRS scandals under Lois Lerner where conservative and Christians groups were targeted.  The FBI’s Peter Strozk and those working with him were determined to STOP TRUMP at all costs and it is now apparent that the costs will be astronomical for America going forward.  HATE is a powerful motivator, clouds all sense of reason, and justifies actions calling them the moral high-ground or righteous.  HATE is destructive, not productive and anyone who engages in the fury of hate is not just hurting the object of their hate but themselves as well.

Those who are classified as the middle-class have long experienced the intolerance and hatred of the Progressive Socialistic Liberal Leftists, largely Democrats on a national level.  The language and rhetoric of Hollywood and media personalities such as Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Joy Behar, Jimmy Kimmel, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Maher, and an endless list of others are utterly repulsive.  I have never tried to paint Donald J. Trump as a saint but do believe that God had a hand in his election. You may disagree and argue that God does not get involved in politics.  I would argue against that based on the entire Bible and such references that inform us that he sets up and takes down leaders and that He is concerned with every detail of our lives.  If He is, as some like to argue, an “absentee landlord” then He is not the God of the Bible, in my view.  I don’t pray for God to help my favorite sports team win over another team but I do pray that God guide this nation and the elections directly impact the direction of the nation, so YES, I believe He gets involved.  HATE is never acceptable and it matters not if it is coming from the Left or the Right, HATE IS WRONG!

The PC Police of today, the censorship by Liberal Universities and the cry for silencing everything on the Right labeling it HATE SPEECH is rooted in hate, not the advancement of our nation or society.  The demand for TOLERANCE by the Left while demonstrating UNBENDING INTOLERANCE is not simply the result of hypocrisy it is the fruit of the root of HATE.  There are those who so HATE this President and any of us who support him to the point they would be filled with glee were America’s economy to collapse, and this President was to fail at every turn in diplomacy and the fulfillment of his campaign promises.  I wish I could say this was a passing fad or condition but I believe it is the result of decades of HATE being taught and caught and is now generational as well as ideological.  We are living in a world where we have at least two if not three generations of indoctrinated haters in all aspects of our society.  That can only result in dire times and incredibly dark days for America and Americans.

Let me give you a sampling of some things said by Liberal Leftists Democrats regarding those on the Right:

  • Montel Williams – “Michele Bachmann, slit your wrists. Go ahead… or, do us a better thing.  Move that knife up about two feet. Start right at the collarbone.”
  • Rapper Everlast’s tirade was filled with “F” bombs about the president and suggested that if the Secret Service was not on their toes, he’d take out the president.
  • Bill Maher – “I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow… I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.”
  • Courtland Milloy – “I know how the ‘tea party’ people feel, the anger, venom, and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health-care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their “Obama Plan White Slavery” signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads.”
  • Charles Karel Bouley said on the air – “I want MF Joe the plumber dead.”
  • Representative Paul Kanjorski, (D-PA) – suggested putting Governor Scott from Florida against the wall and shoot him.
  • Stephen Crockett called for strapping Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell to an electric chair and light them up like Christmas trees.
  • Allan Brauer, the communications chair of the Democratic Party of Sacramento County said to Ted Cruz staffer Amanda Carter – “May your children all die from debilitating, painful, and incurable diseases.”
  • Dan Savage – “I wish they (Republicans) were all (blankety-blank) dead.”

I try to be cautious about saying anything about someone deceased but Chef Anthony Bourdain said that he would poison Donald Trump if he had the chance.  Remember Kathy Griffin and a host of others and the vile language and calls for violence against Trump and his supporters.  THAT IS HATE!

We can never achieve the greatness that America was and can be if we continue down the road of HATE.  Some may not like this statement, but WE NEED A REVIVAL IN AMERICA.  We need a move of God where hearts are changed.  We do not all have to agree or want the same thing but we need to be healed from the condition of HATE that is now prevalent.

God bless you and God bless America!

 

 

AMERICA’S FUTURE – Dim or Bright???


BLOG POST 3- America

I would urge everyone to exercise restraint in answering that question.  I would urge a deeper digging into the plethora of information that is now available and much of it confirmed by the IG Report regarding the FBI and her highness Hillary Clinton as well as BHO and his subordinates.  There are many things coming to light, much of which we already knew or suspected regarding the BIASNESS and INVOLVEMENT of various intelligence gathering, law enforcement, and bureaucratic agencies under the auspices and guidance of the Obama administration leading up to and subsequent to the 2016 election is disturbing.  How anyone, including the avid NEVER TRUMP crowd, the MSM, and the Democrats could continue to argue for the Mueller Investigation focused solely on Donald J. Trump and his subordinates is beyond me.  How could anyone defend Hillary Clinton, the Obama DOJ, the FBI, John Brennan, James Clapper, and dozens of others involved?  How could there not be an immediate demand that a FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION of the involvement, criminality, subversion of our system, and collusion by those on the Left not be forthcoming?  I do not mind investigating the Right but insist that the evidence demands an investigation of the Left as well.  If TRUTH is the objective then that investigation MUST be initiated immediately.

We are have learned and are learning that the FBI modified witness reports, misled the Department of Justice watchdog and gave false information.  The FBI appears to have “edited and changed” key witness reports in the Clinton and Russia investigations.  The witness interviews compiled by federal investigators appear to have been altered based on the findings of the Inspector General’s report.  It goes far beyond Hillary’s actions and the depth and breadth of this encompass the key investigators and administrators in the various law-enforcement bureaus, the DOJ, and even the White House under Barack H. Obama.  I find the threat to our system of government so dire that I ask the title question regarding our future as a sovereign republic.

We have learned that the former FBI Director James Comey also used a personal email account to conduct bureau business and that caused Hillary to argue that if he could then why could she not?  The Inspector General’s report confirmed that classified information contained in the Clinton emails was compromised by foreign intelligence services.  THAT IS A PROBLEM!  She recklessly emailed President Barack Obama using her private unsecured personal email from within the sovereign territory of a hostile foreign adversary.  HOW IS THAT NOT A PROBLEM?   In James Comey’s July 2016 statement we were made aware that Hillary’s private emails included “seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received.”  THAT IS A PROBLEM and CRIME.  Comey even acknowledged that “hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account.”  He called it “extreme carelessness” which according to the legal statute demanded indictment and prosecution.  BUT NOT SO FOR COMEY and PETER STROZK.

The FBI knew and covered up the fact that “hostile actors” had gained access to the information in her emails.  Comey’s statement in 2016, “the FBI successfully determined classified information was improperly stored and transmitted on Clinton’s email server, and classified information was compromised by unauthorized individuals, to include foreign governments or intelligence services, via cyber intrusion or other means.”  THAT IS A PROBLEM!  It is a problem regarding national security, legally, morally, and ethically but they IGNORED and IGNORE the wrong of the Left and as Peter Strozk said, “Comey instructed him to prioritize the Russian Investigation over the Clinton Investigation.”  THAT IS A PROBLEM!  The subsequent failure to pursue this and the year-long dogged pursuit of Donald J. Trump reveals a Partisan attempt to complete a coup against our government, protect the guilty on the Left, and overturn an election.  THAT PRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER FOR OUR AMERICA!   Hate Trump if you choose, but love America and demand that this immediately cease and proper action be taken to hold the guilty accountable.

In previous administrations, there was sufficient concern for cybersecurity and protection of intelligence that when officials traveled to certain foreign countries the Secret Service insisted that they remove the batteries from their BlackBerrys, place them in sealed plastic bags, and leave them on Air Force One for the duration of that visit.  Hillary Clinton was so cavalier that she used her private unsecured email to communicate directly with the President of the United States rather than the official government communications device.  WHY?  What was the motive?  I won’t speculate but I will argue that it posed and poses a significant threat to America then, now, and in the future.  THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED!

When you have FBI Agents such as Peter Strozk texts which reveal his objective was to STOP TRUMP and find that he was the lead in putting together the Clinton investigation, you must smell the stench of the rottenness.  It now appears that it went far beyond a few rogue agents but all the way to the top of the FBI, the CIA, Homeland, the IRS, the DOJ, and even the White House to subvert our system and achieve their objective.  THAT IS A PROBLEM!   One significant problem in the Mueller investigation is that he inherited the poisoned information from Peter Strozk and then added him to his team.  THAT IS A PROBLEM!  Mueller’s friend Comey’s credibility has been destroyed and yet this entire attack on America has been based on the faux intelligence amassed by Comey and his FBI.  THAT IS A PROBLEM!  The toxicity of the Liberal Coup, led by Comey, Strozk, McCabe and more is apparent.  This was not an attack on Donald Trump solely but on our American system of government and politics.  It was an attempt to entrench the Leftist ideology and agenda and advance their cause.  When it finally comes, Mr. Mueller’s report will be the “fulfillment” of Peter Strozk’s INSURANCE POLICY, a plot and ploy to impeach President Trump via harassing investigations should they fail to defeat him at the ballot box.

America, will we allow this kind of assault on our American system to continue at our own peril.  Even if you are adamantly opposed to Donald Trump as President surely you are supportive of our Republic and want to keep our electoral process intact?  SURELY!  Maybe I should say HOPEFULLY for I’m beginning to concede that the Left has no desire to maintain our system but convert it into a Leftist Liberal Progressive Socialist Globalist Oligarchy where they are in TOTAL CONTROL.   I will fight that every step of the way!

God bless you and God bless America!

WHAT WE NEED TODAY IS FEARLESSNESS…


BLOG POST 2 - Fearlessness

In 1776 there was a FEARLESSNESS  that prevailed among the Freedom Fighters in the American Colonies.  No, I am not saying they did not experience times of trepidation and their hearts and minds gripped in the turmoil of concern and question but they were FEARLESS in the face of all obstacles and DETERMINED to achieve the only acceptable objective INDEPENDENCE, LIBERTY, and FREEDOM.  That required a FEARLESSNESS that would keep them alert, committed, and determined beyond what often seemed humanly possible.

There was the Spirit of FEARLESSNESS that prevailed during both of the World Wars in which America participated.  That fearlessness was demonstrated in the many heroes of the battles and on the home front in the families, wives, and children left behind who keep the home fires burning and supplied the munitions to fight the good fight to defeat tyranny in the world.  That fearlessness was the result of a populace convinced that the ONLY SOLUTION and ONLY OPTION was to defeat Communism, Socialism, and Tyranny that was threatening Free People in America and around the world.  Turning the other cheek and ignoring the problem was not an option and from the politicians to the armed forces and the public FEARLESSNESS and DETERMINATION produced a Patriotism that prevailed against Tyranny.

Sadly, it is my view, that spirit began to wane after VE Day on May 8, 1945, and VJ Day on August 15, 1945, when the final formal surrender was accomplished ending the terribleness of WW II.  At the onset of the Korean War in 1950 that spirit was expected to prevail and complete victory was anticipated, but three years later it had become all too obvious that a total victory was either not the objective or not a reality and we allowed a Tyrannical Regime to continue while carving out the Democratic Republic of the South.  A partial victory, not a complete victory as had been the only acceptable objective of Americans in War to that point. 

A few years later we became embroiled in Vietnam and almost from the beginning no one truly believed that we would demonstrate the FEARLESSNESS and DETERMINATION required, as a people, to resolve the matter completely.  I am not talking about those men fighting on the ground, in the air, and on the sea but the general public and the politicians.  There were many factors including the fear of another World War but that war, in my view, became a political and commercial war.  I am a combat veteran of that war and do not want to appear in any way to detract from the valiant efforts of our forces and those men with boots on the ground, those sailors at sea or the airmen flying over the terrain.  THEY ARE PATRIOTS and I salute my brothers in arms.  We did what we could even when the politicians and hierarchy choose not to take the path of FEARLESSNESS and DETERMINATION.

In our modern era, we have been engaged in the War on Terrorism for years and I am deeply grateful for each man and woman who has served, those who paid the ultimate price, and those who gave a limb and a portion of their sanity for the cause of Freedom.  Politicians, the MSM, Hollywood, Academia, and Activist have trashed our armed forces and labeled those of us who want a sovereign and free America as bigots, suffering from some phobia, haters, and evil.  I rejoiced when our people came back from the First Gulf War and were given accolades and demonstrated appreciation.  Those of us serving in Vietnam know how vastly different that was compared to our return and we rejoiced that those serving were given the respect they deserved.  Respect?  Not from the Leftist or much of the media and Hollywood but the public and that is where every patriot looks for recognition and appreciation.  When the average citizen says, “Thank you for your service,” my heart leaps for joy and tears come to my eyes.   They understand the need for FEARLESSNESS and DETERMINATION.

Now my real question is “What Happened to Fearlessness in Politics?”  By that, I mean those men and women who will defend the Rule of Law and the Constitution regardless of consequences to their political career.  I, personally, do not believe in professional politicians.  I see them and know they exist and are real but do not believe they are legitimate constitutionally.  The only way that changes is for WE THE PEOPLE to take back our government at the polls and elect those who will be FEARLESS and RELENTLESS in defending the Constitution and our American Freedom and send them home if they cease to do so or decide to stay too long.

Let me touch on a hot-button for me, RINO Republicans who aid and abet the Liberal Leftist Democrat agenda.  I hesitate to address one because he is terminally ill and I never want to denigrate the dying or dead but am satisfied to leave them in God’s hands.  However, Senator John McCain has committed some acts of treason toward Constitutional Conservatism that cannot be ignored.  Many of them you know but I desire to bring up one that has come to light that highlights the need and requirement that we elect ONLY Constitutional Conservatives if we are to reclaim our Republic and see her restored to her rightful place.  I believe that Senator McCain is a man filled with bitterness and genuinely hates anyone and everyone who did not support him to become President of these United States of America.  It often appears that his desire for a “pound of flesh” and “revenge” causes him to do great harm to our Constitutional Republic.

It has come to light that it was at his, and other RINOs, urging that the IRS went after conservatives and conservative organizations.  It was a sort of political back-stabbing that cannot be ignored and should have demanded his ouster long before his current situation.  It is revealed in internal IRS documents that Senator McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.”  Senators John McCain and Carl Levin demanded that the IRS “reign in” political advocacy groups. Sadly, it was not all advocacy groups they wanted to be targeted but those who were staunch conservatives and not milquetoast in their political ideology like Senator McCain.  They were groups that had supported other candidates and withheld their votes from him, making them enemies, in his mind it would appear.

He has on more than one occasion referred to the “Tea Party” in such vile terms as to group them in the basket of Domestic Terrorist.  Senator McCain cannot claim that Kerner went rogue because he regularly met with him and there is documented evidence that he was fully aware and in favor of targeting conservative groups.  The Tea Party is one of the major reasons that the Obama administration went downhill in the minds of many voters.  Lerner was not punished for her illegalities and had the support and help of none other than Senator John McCain (R-AZ).  McCain’s antics were part of the reason that Mitt Romney found millions refusing to vote in the 2012 election.  Now, Donald J. Trump has come on the scene and demonstrated a type of FEARLESSNESS that millions of Americans have longed to see in politicians.  That does not make him a saint or even right all the time, but makes him somewhat unique in today’s political world.  What we need now, is an infusion and a wave of Constitutional Conservatives who will take seriously their campaign promises and the constitution.  Smokey Bear says, “Only you can prevent forest fires.”  Roy Beaird says, “Only you and I can prevent the liberal decay of our American system of government and RECLAIM AMERICA.”  

God bless you and God bless America!

AMERICA, THEN and NOW…


BLOG POST 1 - America then and now

Conservatism, Constitutionalism post World War II and today, is there a difference?  Unless you have been living in a world that is devoid of contact with people, contains no internet, printed news, books, television, or politicians you would say ABSOLUTELY!  But in my conversations with people, some who claim to be Constitutional Conservatives, I am convinced that world of delusion must exist.  The demonstrated hatred from those who are truly trying to advance constitutional and conservative values and agendas are more than amazing, it is incomprehensible.  The Post-World War II era is dramatically different from today and both major political parties are substantially different.   In the aftermath of WWII, many Democrats embraced the Constitution and even held conservative values and principles.  On a national level, that does not exist today!  No, I am not saying every person in America who views themselves as Democrats fully embrace the Leftist, Liberal, Socialist, Progressive, Globalist, Anti-Constitutional American views and values, but many do.  I am saddened when I talk to some people, whom I love and respect, who find it impossible to separate themselves from their party when their party abandons their core values, simply because they have always been Democrats.  Yes, there are Republicans in that same boat, but there is a significant difference in the core planks of the two parties, in my view.

The Post-World War II American Conservative was staunchly anti-communism, pro-life, pro-America, and pro-National Sovereignty.  That movement was rigidly against Big Government, pro-limited spending, and anti-taxation to the excess and extreme of today’s government.  That era was surprisingly tolerant of opposing views so far as having open debate was not only allowed but encouraged.  No, they did not bend on their core values and principles but they listened to the other side to see if there was a workable compromise or common ground upon which to build.  That has taken a 180-degree turn today and those on the Liberal Side of the aisle are viciously intolerant of any view not in harmony with their own.  The conservatives of the Post-World War II era were not afforded the media coverage we have today, albeit today’s coverage is largely negative.  There was no Fox News or the various outlets afforded to conservatives of today to articulate our views and argue our core values.  They were not concerned about positioning themselves to be acceptable to the media, they simply believed what they believed, worked to see it become reality, and worked, often behind the scenes, to achieve the Constitutional Conservative Agenda.  Today, far too many are more concerned about ratings and being liked than they are about advancing genuine constitutional and conservative principles and agendas.

I am disturbed that many so-called conservative voices in today’s world engage in theatrics for personal gain and media acceptance rather than advancing constitutional and conservative values.  After all, in the world of media, theatrics pays.  I don’t mind some theatrics because that can be a tool to garner the attention and interest of the public allowing a sprinkling of theatrics but the objective must be to educate, interest, and promote the Constitutional position for our American System of Government.  If that is not the prime focus then theatrics would seem to be nothing more than rain on a tin barn and promotion of self rather than the Republic.  I know a talk show host in my area that was on the West Coast and when he was the MC of that talk show it had a liberal bias and when he moved to this area in Texas he suddenly became conservative.  That was where the interest was and that enhanced his popularity and thereby his bottom line.  I do not consider those who are faux Constitutional Conservatives Conservative or Patriots but media personalities seeking fame and fortune not the betterment of the Republic.

When I grew up in East Texas in the 50’s and 60’s most people voted Democrat on the local level but many them began voting Republican on the national tickets when Eisenhower ran for president.  They would have been called, “blue dog Democrats” and later, “Regan Democrats”.  Although they considered themselves Democrats they were opposed to the increasing bent of the Party toward Big Government and Socialism.  They believed in lower taxes, limited spending, a strong military and national defense.  They believed that marriage was between one man and one woman, opposed abortion, and believed that if a person WOULD NOT WORK they should not eat.  They voted Democrat on local and State elections but every four years many split their ticket and voted for the Republican for president.  Many of those, before their departure from this life, began to vote Republican on State and National elections while continuing to vote Democrat on local elections. WHY?  Why did they vote Republican on State and National Elections?  Because of ideology and core principles and values.  Why did they continue to vote Democrat on local elections?  Often there was only one candidate running and they knew the candidate on a personal level.  Therefore, they did not consider view their vote as Democrat or Republican in those cases was what my mother always said, “I don’t vote for the party I vote for the man.”  We know that, generally, that is not the case but when it comes to a County Road Commissioner or School Board Member, etc. that is sometimes what is happening.

What is my point in all this?  Simply that we have seen an erosion of foundation in what is being called Constitutional and Conservative which has produced a huge herd of RINOs and faux conservatives.  It is out of that group we find many of the NEVER TRUMPERS and the milquetoast Republicans today who are willing to allow the Republic to be damaged if not destroyed because of their dislike, hatred, or dissatisfaction with a particular candidate or decision.  In the case of President Donald Trump, I know of no one who is proclaiming him to be a SAINT. He was not running for Pastor, Sunday School Teacher, or Theology Professor.  He ran for and was elected to be the President of the, arguably most powerful nation on earth.  We endured eight years of weak-willed, Muslim leaning, squiggly red line leadership.  We endured eight years of a government that enhanced and emboldened our enemies including Islamic terrorist and Illegals flooding our shores.  What we needed and now have is a President with a spine and one who is willing to do what needs to be done no matter how popular or unpopular that action is.  He is assuredly a “shoot from the lip” individual and a “businessman” who makes deals and has the ability to move from a very antagonist negotiation and let it become history rather than obscuring the possibilities of the next deal.  He is, I believe, a pragmatist and does not see things as Conservative or Liberal but what needs to be done, what is good, or what is not good.  That makes him unique in our long history of presidents and opens the door for some incredibly great things to be done in America under his leadership.  Will he make mistakes?  Is he a living breathing human being?  Of course, he will and has.  All of us do. But he is attempting to keep his campaign promises like no other president or elected official and that should be appreciated if not applauded.

We dare not allow the Liberal Leftist Globalist Socialist Progressive Democrats regain power in November.  If we do we are effectively surrendering our Constitutional Rights and Freedoms.  That is one thing I cannot stomach and will not willingly tolerate.  I am in this fight to the finish and my position is firmly rooted in the Constitution and I stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom.  I ask for you to join the fight and pray with me and fight with me and the millions of others doing the same as we seek to keep America the Free Constitutional Republic of our Framers and Founders!

God bless you and God bless America!
