“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.

The Politics of “Keystone”…
Once again President Obama is caught between ideology and reality. President Clinton was masterful at navigating these kinds of pitfalls, because he was always a politician first. Barack Obama however, is a second term ideologue who actually believes his own talking points. … Continue reading
The State of the Obama Presidency…
I know I’m late to the party on this one. But truthfully, I’ve been a bit stymied on how to respond to the arrogance and elitism displayed by our President on Tuesday evening. Frankly, he sounded almost angry, and in … Continue reading
A changing nation…
It appears the son of Killer Dennis McGuire was upset about the manner in which his father was executed this past week, even going so far as to suggest that McGuire’s victim was somehow better off because her murder was not … Continue reading
“Lone Survivor”…
Looking into the eyes of Marcus Luttrell, one can see both emptiness and fire, the emptiness of a team player who lost his team, and the fire of a Navy Seal who relishes what all Navy Seals do, the chance … Continue reading
Healthcare for all???
So “School Boy Jay Carney”, (who’s trying desperately to look like a man with that beard), tells the WH Press Corps there are 2.1 million Americans enrolled in “Obamacare”. Really? Let’s take an honest look. 1. Insurance industry insiders are … Continue reading
Not in vain…
We have heard it said time and again, “elections have consequences”. Admittedly, I’ve written many pages on that topic since Barack Obama announced his candidacy. All argument aside however, there comes a moment when reality hits you right between the … Continue reading
The Gift of Christmas is Christ…
I think if I could have one Christmas present this year, I would ask for truth. I won’t bother to explain except to say I think “We the People” must stop running from who we are. It’s not so much … Continue reading
Change the channel…
The issue of free speech has been a topic of debate at unprecedented levels throughout the era of Obama. Consequently, the very self-proclaimed spokespeople for freedom of expression and tolerance have demonstrated clearly thus far, and by way of an … Continue reading
Some RI local stuff catching on…
Food for thought, sent from “Patriot64’s” iPhone… The story of Nelson Mandela must include his time in a South African prison, as well as how that horrible period shaped his future. The destroyer of Apartheid will rightfully be remembered as a … Continue reading
One year later…
“So I heard someone on local radio this morning lamenting a statistic which indicated 200 children under the age of 13 have died by “gun violence” in the year since Sandy Hook. That same person claimed 8 die every day, … Continue reading
“Obamacare” charade continues…
So the President’s going to try and sell this thing once again. Apparently, endless rhetoric and campaigning in place of any successful application continues unabated. Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing to date. The ACA was to include … Continue reading
“Black Friday” observations…
I’m still keeping my Thanksgiving cover photo up on Facebook for the weekend. I absolutely refuse to bend to the “Black Friday” ways…! Nevertheless, it’s always worth watching and pondering the motives of some in this crowd. I do believe … Continue reading
“Obamacare” is symptomatic of a larger ailment…
So now your tax dollars are being spent, (to the tune of a million or so dollars), to seek out “Obamacare” success stories? And if that isn’t bad enough, we have to listen to sycophants like Juan Williams bashing anyone … Continue reading
Thanksgiving, 2013…
Please take a moment and pray this Thanksgiving, for the helpless and homeless, for the sick and the dying, for those of weakened body and spirit, and for our Armed Forces who go in harm’s way for us, today and … Continue reading
There is but one to thank on “Thanksgiving”…
Listening to my son explain how when he told one of his teachers of the “Separatists” and the reason they journeyed to the America’s, she essentially told him, “that’s debatable”, really gives me a sense of the efforts to revise and/or … Continue reading
U.S. deterrence on the ropes…
It’s never surprising when I have to take something which by all appearances seems a positive action on the part of the Obama Administration, and qualify it with something else that basically cancels that action out. The recent military fly … Continue reading
Democrats now own the “nuclear option”…
In the end, it was Democrats who elected to use the so-called “nuclear option”. There is a certain irony to this as they were so openly critical when Republicans were in the majority and there was talk of such an … Continue reading
November 22, 1963
Nine months almost to the day after John F. Kennedy was murdered, I was born. Understandably, my youth was shadowed by the memory of the martyred President, and I would come to study his life and death in great detail … Continue reading
“The Gettysburg Address”…
I have been accused and I’m probably guilty of being a bit long “written” if you will. Accordingly, I would tell you that as someone who writes primarily about politics, one should get to the point as expeditiously as possible … Continue reading
The shrinking Obama approval rating…
As Democrats struggle to find a way to reconcile “Obamacare” heading into the 2014 election cycle, it’s been entertaining as all get out to watch their standard-bearer roll them under the proverbial bus. It’s also amusing watching and listening to … Continue reading
Veterans Day 2013. Understanding freedom…
I’ve probably heard “it” as many times as I’ve said “it”. And having family and friends who’ve fought and even died for “it”, makes “it” all the more precious to me. Indeed my fellow Americans, “freedom is not free”. Nevertheless, … Continue reading
Presidential Press…
As we are witnessing great social and economic turmoil in our country, many of us look to the news as a source of unbiased information regarding the events of the day. This is not unusual in a free society, and we … Continue reading
“Moral authority”???
When Chris Matthews starts talking about “moral authority” I think to myself, this idiot wouldn’t know “moral authority” if it ran over him. Nevertheless, he was referring to Republicans and how (he) felt they lacked any moral authority on the … Continue reading
The “language” of ideology…
As expected “The Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act” is imploding before our very eyes. The stories of folks being dropped from their existing plans or receiving radical premium increases can no longer be ignored or explained away by “School … Continue reading
Some “bullet proof” politics in “Little Rhody”…
I have no doubt that General Treasurer Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island is a reformer at heart, and a smart one to be sure. As a matter of fact, she “was” firmly on my list of candidates who might pass the … Continue reading
“Wins and losses”…
One day after the President and Harry Reid won their battle against House Republicans and successfully kicked the budget can down the road once again, we’re still left with the lowest labor participation rate in 40 years, the most lopsided … Continue reading
“Glitch” or prelude to catastrophe…
One thing can be said for President Obama, and that is he continually provides fodder for the feast… I chuckled recently when I heard the POTUS compare what media sycophants are calling “glitches”, to roll out issues with “Apple Corporation’s … Continue reading
More “Froaming” from Froma…
Froma Harrop continues her non-sensical assault on certain members of the Republican Party. Truthfully, she’s almost hard to follow at times through all the hypocrisy. Now “before I go on”, let me say Harrop apparently still doesn’t grasp the reality of our “Republic”, nor … Continue reading
Gut check time…
With only seventeen percent of government actually shut down, it’s hard to find the calamity Harry Reid and the Libs are speaking of. This is not to diminish the trials of those needing appropriate satisfaction, in terms of legitimate government … Continue reading
To capitulate or not to capitulate…
A local radio personality was talking about how Republicans need to “learn to lose” and step away from this government shut down. Initially I agreed, more so because of what I understand both parties have become over the last century … Continue reading
“Froaming” at the mouth…
I guess it only takes (some) folks exercising their Constitutional rights to get sycophants like Froma Harrop “froaming” at the mouth. And I always find it interesting when Liberals label all free speech but their own as “extremist”. Admittedly I rather like … Continue reading
Of slings and arrows and shut downs…
The government shutdown is certainly politics in its rawest form, with both sides vying for a toehold on the issue of a continuing resolution that would only fund the government until November 15 (Senate) or December 15 (House). That aside, the … Continue reading
The Death of Principle…
Liberals in Congress are referring to the people’s elected representatives as “Legislative arsonists”, “anarchists”, “black mailers” and “terrorists”. The Left Wing ideology of hypocrisy has always been easy to see if you’re looking. Ultimately, one need only consider President Obama’s … Continue reading
Not too big to fail…
It’s unlikely Obamacare will be de-funded. This reality is born of voter apathy and ignorance as well as an utterly confusing counter message from Republicans. “A house divided” comes to mind when I listen to recent statements coming from the … Continue reading
Obamacare “Bait and Switch”…
The POTUS continues his “Obamacare” Campaign, running around touting the 2010 Congressional vote on the PPACA, the SCOTUS decision, and his second term, as proof his signature achievement is somehow the people’s will. It’s truly amazing how Liberals can manipulate reality, … Continue reading
