“One nation under God” The Patriot Pastor…
The Mayflower Compact
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—–
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

“The Ten Cannots”
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. 4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. 5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. 7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. 9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence. 10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

History is the great educator, should we choose to embrace its lessons. The first two decades of the 21st Century have ushered in the consequences of raising a generation, educated by fools, absent the guidance of dying heroes and unwilling … Continue reading →

I’m not naïve to the ways of Washington to be sure and I realize the two political parties do their best to each sing with one voice, though the Democrats seem to do the best job of it. But does … Continue reading →
Radical Trend…
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. is the poster child for the new party of BHO, emotional, factually challenged and wholly unqualified to represent anyone or anything. Now we’ve had folks elected to high office in the past who couldn’t find their way … Continue reading →
Here’s hoping and praying for truth in 2019…
I truly do consider it a privilege to know and study history, especially that of this free republic. So watching that freedom unwind can be discouraging to say the least. Over the Christmas holiday, my family and I spent some time outdoors … Continue reading →
Obama’s Legacy…
Huzzah! The nation awaits its 45th President of The United States. Meanwhile, 44 is struggling like none of his predecessors to shape and mold his legacy into something it simply will never be. In his last 20 or so days … Continue reading →
A “Change Election”…
Say what you will about campaign 2016, but news media pundits and egg-head pollsters basically neglected, (or simply ignored), a huge swatch of angry voters who’d had enough of phony economics and an administration seemingly focused only on re-writing our … Continue reading →
We’re all Americans…
Understanding the events in Orlando this past weekend is something which will require much time and prayer to be sure. The loss of so much humanity in one horrific action can stun the mind into utter disbelief. In these moments … Continue reading →
“Evidence, facts are on our side.” – President Obama…
On its face, one could say that statement was just political bluster, spewed by a failed and departing president in search of a legacy. But this is truly puzzling, and speaks to what many are now calling, President Barack Obama’s … Continue reading →
Don’t hold your breath…
Denial is one thing, ideology is quite another. President Barack Obama is clearly of the latter category, and he makes no bones about it. So for those looking for the POTUS to run to the nearest lectern and state what … Continue reading →
Of pilgrims, refugees, and able-bodied military age men…
It seems re-writing history has become the hallmark of the Obama presidency. Mr. Obama’s propensity to mold and shape past events to fit his ideological view of our nation and the freedom granted it by God, would actually be entertaining … Continue reading →
See, I told ya’ so…
I seem to remember lots of talk about this inexperienced and even unqualified upstart from Chicago wanting to be the President of the United States back in 2008. It was truly odd how a still wet behind the ears Senator, … Continue reading →

Pretty nice lookin’ boat aye Mr. President???
Isn’t it ironic that just as the POTUS is jetting around the country screaming about “climate change” while singlehandedly burning off more fossil fuel than a small city, the very real threat of China’s burgeoning Navy was shadowing him just … Continue reading →

All is as it should be..?
There appears to be some confusion about our current status and/or policy for dealing with Islamic terrorism. Many on the Right believe our president is inept or simply blind to the threat. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Now … Continue reading →
Presidential faux pas… Again???
Once again the POTUS has taken the low road, this time during an NPR interview with Steve Inskeep, when he suggested Governor Scott Walker “bone-up” on his foreign policy. With all due respect to the office, Mr. Obama just can’t … Continue reading →
The real President Obama…
There’s been much said about the politics and person of our twice elected president. Truth be told, I’ve always been a little hesitant to speak to Mr. Obama’s persona and how it affects his job performance, however it’s high time … Continue reading →
Ideological foolishness at our expense…
To know history is to know the “Crusades” were far more than what modern Islam and even the president of the United States portray them as. In fact much of the time period should be viewed as an east/west defensive reaction to … Continue reading →
‘Shadow of crisis has passed’… Really?
Kudos to the Republicans for taking the highroad after last night’s State of the Union address. I have no such political desire today. As expected, the president embellished his record and misrepresented much of our nation’s current station to a … Continue reading →
FOX on the brain…
President Obama can’t put aside his battle with Fox News. The problem is his presidency is so difficult to defend. The POTUS recently tweeted that “While affordable healthcare might still be a threat to freedom on Fox News, its working … Continue reading →

The problems at the border are old ones to be sure. Many a president has looked the other way or used Band-Aids where tourniquets were needed, and usually only in order to garner the support of a particular demographic on election … Continue reading →
Immigration flyby…
First and foremost, it’s understood that what we now have at the southern border is a humanitarian crisis, ironically born out of the president’s own policies. Moreover, it’s nothing short of heart breaking to see these children being used as … Continue reading →
Over in six years…
As I watch the president’s poll numbers plummet, and I see much of what I feared would occur now come to pass, gloating would almost be too easy. But much to the chagrin of my Liberal Progressive detractors, I feel … Continue reading →
Style over substance…
Bret Baier’s recent interview with Retired Air Force Major Eric Stahl, (the pilot of the C-17 used to evacuate the injured consulate staff and the four bodies from Libya on 9/11/12), was stunning for many reasons, not the least of … Continue reading →
Leadership is action…
It didn’t take the President long to pull the “Bush card” regarding the VA scandal. Accountability and honor are not necessarily hallmarks of this administration. Nevertheless, it’s noteworthy that many of the same responses keep coming up whenever President Obama’s … Continue reading →
Can’t see it from my house, yet…
Ultimately, the level of voter apathy and ignorance dictates the level of freedoms decay. This is evidenced by the degree of outrage we see over things like the IRS and Benghazi scandals, as well as any poll showing Hillary Clinton … Continue reading →

Understanding our Constitution is easy if you make an effort. Truth be told, if the “Affordable” Care Act were written in the way the Constitution was, Congress might have passed a law not doomed to failure. Nevertheless, it’s nothing short … Continue reading →
OMG, it’s really happened…
I was listening to the POTUS speak about the economy and his expectations for 2014 recently, and it finally hit me. If Barack Obama and his cohorts have achieved one thing, it has been to establish a foothold on the beaches … Continue reading →
“Obamaromneycare”???
Listening to HHS Secretary Sebelius attempt to explain “Obamacare” was almost as painful as listening to the President at Boston’s Faneuil Hall today, try and compare the law which bears his nickname to that of “Romneycare”. Two things did jump out at … Continue reading →
“Why don’t they try winning an election.”???
“Why don’t they try winning an election”? Maybe the President was out of town, or possibly playing the back nine at Camp David when Republicans cleaned his political clock in the 2010. Once again we see Barack Obama as whole … Continue reading →

The Crown President of the United States…

The “Presidential Seal” on race…
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee summed it up best today when he said the President “missed another opportunity to bring the issue of race into context”. Not long after Barack Obama’s first election I wrote about how I didn’t vote for … Continue reading →
