• First President to side with a foreign nation over one of the American 50 states (Mexico vs. Arizona).

How is Obama’s “Hope and Change” working out for you?”

I believe Obama should be arrested and impeached for only a few of his “Great Accomplishments.” For being best President in many of his Democratic followers eyes… I feel this Great Nation in being misled in an immorally direction away from what it was originally founded on. I pray for the safety and promising future for our children. I pray our children do not become as greedy, ungrateful, anti-christian and un-patriotic as I see our current leaders leading their lives.

I commend you for reading all of this. And, I hope it has empowered you with knowledge and opened your eyes more.

Thank you,
Daniel S. Hudson

My Christmas Prayer …

Give Us Men!

Give us Men!
Men-from every rank,
Fresh and free and frank;
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading,
Men of loyal breeding,
The nation’s welfare speeding;
Men of faith and not of fiction,
Men of lofty aim in action;
Give us Men-I say again,
Give us Men!

Give us Men!
Strong and stalwart ones;
Men whom highest hope inspires,
Men whom purest honor fires,
Men who trample self beneath them,
Men who make their country wreath them
As her noble sons,
Worthy of their sires;
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others:
Give us Men-I say again,
Give us Men!

Give us Men!
Men who, when the tempest gathers,
Grasp the standard of their fathers
In the thickest fight;
Men who strike for home and altar,
(Let the coward cringe and falter),
God defend the right!
True as truth the lorn and lonely,
Tender, as the brave are only,
Men who tread where saints have trod,
Men for Country, Home- and God:
Give us Men! I say again- again-
Give us Men!

-Josiah Gilbert Holland

Thank You Mr. President!

I wanted to inspire all you lovely readers out there … We are licking our wounds after yet another disappointing show by our, um, Representatives in DC. I participate in the Special Operations Speaks group on Facebook.

They posted the following, including a link to the Bill referenced, and one Patriot replied with a stunning and fresh outlook which I echo! Mr. Tusa shares an inspirational thought … ENJOY!

“H.R.2775, new law flips the power to raise the debt ceiling. It gives the President the power to raise the debt ceiling by fiat. The limp noodle Congress, then by passing a joint resolution, can send a bill to the President to sign to reverse the President’s fiat…Which he will VETO.

The President has the power of the purse.”

This President continues to shred the US Constitution at every convenience. Will he succeed in his intention to destroy this nation? it’s up to US – We, the People!

Michael Tusa’s reply: Thank You Mr. President! Yes, I said THANK YOU. Never before in the history of the United States of America has this nation been so sharply divided, a Congress so torn apart, people so passionate about the issues, whether you stand on the right or the left, conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat. We all are concerned about the direction our nation is taking. This will increase the tone of debates and politicking from the local neighborhood group leaders all the way to Washington D.C. and all races in-between. People will not be so “ho-hum” when listening to debates, examining the issues, making uninformed decisions when going to the polls. As of this October and the fiasco of the “Divided House”, “Divided Senate”, and “Divisive President” WE have listened, WE have learned, WE have paid great sacrifices in money, paychecks, jobs, taxes, blood, sweat and tears, cost of living, and peace of mind knowing we live in the greatest nation on earth. BUT, we are AMERICANS. We WILL sacrifice, we WILL bear the cost, we WILL emerge from this fog ever so stronger, ever so more determined to keep our Constitution and Bill of Rights on solid ground, more determined to add height to the Statue of Liberty that she will stand above all nations, build a flagpole flying Old Glory that can be seen from horizon to horizon. And be the example of truth, justice, liberty and freedom that the world has known and expects of us. A nation where God can look down, smile and say “I BUILT THAT!” Yes sir, we thank you Mr. President for a painful wake-up call. A call that will result in truth, justice, and liberty that will stand tall in the future elections and cowardice and dismay will stand shaking and quivering in its boots. Lovers of the United States of America! We ARE coming back. We are coming back like the rain in a hurricane, we are coming back like every grain of sand we shed blood over on Iwo Jima, Normandy, Saint-Mihiel, San Juan Hill, Fort Sumter, Yorktown, Lexington and countless other battles. For all of you unbelievers, all of you non patriots. Hell IS coming. Its coming to the issues, the debates, the street corners, door to door, house to house, business to business. The American Voters are coming with it.

Thank you again Mr. President. I leave you with the words of another famous person who also angered the American public. Japanese Imperial Navy Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto “I fear all we have done today is to awaken a great, sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”…….

Note: I have been asked to give my permission to share this post. The word and permission is given my fellow PATRIOTS. Godspeed to the retaking of America!!!

So are we AWAKE yet? Ready to make some tough decisions?

LIBERTY or LEISURE?

control, COST of FREEDOM, government control, identity, leisure, liberty, The Americans Who Risked Everything, VALUE of FREEDOM

Whether it is the nation as a whole, or my little corner of it (family), the challenge is the same. IDENTITY!

Many of us have been quite active over the last few weeks working toward the defunding of Obamacare. It didn’t matter that logic was on our side. It didn’t matter that the American people were on our side. The media was not, and perhaps, never will be. So … now what?

I saw a discussion on facebook about the creation of a third party. The poster stated, correctly in my view, that the Republicans have left a large segment of their constituents behind and become the old Whig Party, denying the Conservative stand of most Republicans. His claim is that the media ignores or tarnishes anyone who disagrees, and this prohibits contrary views from being part of the public domain. The IRS scandal (which has been quickly pushed out of the headlines) is clear evidence of this “silencing” of views that oppose the President.

The question remains, how do we, the opposition, move into the next election cycle without faith in our leaders? How can we change our leadership? It’s not so much the fiscal issues that divide, but the social issues. Abortion, even after 40 years, is still as hot a topic as it was back when Roe v Wade went to the Supreme Court. In addition, we have now the gay marriage issue which divides us and even gun control.

I don’t know if a third party WIN is possible, but I do know that Americans have to make a decision, the sooner the better, concerning morality and civility. We must decide WHO we want to be. Are we going to be the compassionate, helpful, generous, and kind people we have been until this current President took the reins? Or are we going to continue down the road of hate, destruction, resentment, his false notion of “fairness,” and poverty?

The political actions of this administration are very simply make clear Obama’s hatred for everything America has represented for over 200 years. And, while some people declare him incompetent, he has succeeded beyond expectation in the destruction of America’s economy, America’s middle income industry, and small business. He has brought a depth of jealousy and greed between socio-economic levels that never existed before his regime. He has also brought about a resurgence in racial tensions as he drives false wedges between races and other social differences. We now experience the lowest morale within the military ever known resulting in unprecedented numbers of suicides and untreated PTSD among Veterans. In short, in the 5 years of his presidency so far, he has succeeded in turning Americans against one another in record numbers simply for his (and his party’s) benefit. It’s all about CONTROL!

The Gun laws are all about CONTROL!

Obamacare (The un-Affordable Healthcare Act) is all about CONTROL!

The Global-warming myth is all about CONTROL!

On and on the list grows while the people of this great nation ignore the outrageous scandals, the dismantling of our 235+ yr old brilliant CONSTITUTION, and generally surrender more and more CONTROL to the government. If only those who have sworn to “support and defend” our CONSTITUTION for ALL enemies, both “foreign and domestic,” maybe America could self-correct.

Calling on BOTH Democrats and Republicans
to uphold their Oath of Office

I don’t really understand this mindset. Does it really feel that good to sit around and watch “Let’s Make a Deal,” and collect welfare? Or are we too busy working 2 or 3 part-time jobs (since Obamacare is moving quickly to eliminate our 40 hr week)? Have we all pulled back into our shells in the hope the bad behavior of our leaders will just go away? Or maybe their bad behavior justifies ours?

Who are We Now? Who will We be in a Decade?

If we want our “Representatives” to be honest, WE must be honest!

If we want our Leaders to be KIND, WE must be kind!

If we want our elected officials to respect LIFE, WE must respect LIFE!

We must demand integrity in ourselves first, then we can search for it in those who wish to represent us. We must treat others as we want to be treated if we want our leaders to work together in spite of differing ideals. We must respect our differences if we hope our representatives in government will consider all sides of a debate. It’s up to us! Don’t you see? This is exactly why our Constitution is so BRILLIANT!!! Ultimately, the POWER is in OUR hands. Over the past few decades, we have abdicated our responsibility and surrendered our POWER, but it’s TIME to take it back, don’t you think? The ball is in our court, so to speak. What will we do with it? Will we mature and take responsibility for our lives, our fortunes, and our honor? Or will we continue to yield our Liberty in exchange for leisure?

Perhaps a little reminder of the COST of FREEDOM will help to inspire us.

The Americans Who Risked Everything

Maybe a reality check will help us appreciate the VALUE of FREEDOM.

adminstration, evil, First Amendment, integrity, journalism, justice, Martin, right, Zimmerman, Zimmerman-Martin

Is there a difference between what is RIGHT, and what is lawful? Sadly, yes! There is also a gulf between what is RIGHT, and what is accepted. But … none of that is important. What is important is … controlling the masses, and this job has fallen to our illustrious mainstream media as they spoon feed the low-information voters precisely how the Adminstration directs.

The villain? Evil! The participants, ALL human flesh! This is not what the liberal media or the liberal-owned school system tells us, but human beings are flawed, imperfect creatures capable of good AND evil by free will. At this point in history, evil is making a surge while “good men” do nothing (or very little.)

The Zimmerman/Martin case is a perfect example of our human condition. Two men living near one another. Neither familiar with the other. One, a law-abiding citizen exercising his right to self-protection. The other, out for an evening walk.

Each man is suspicious of the other. WHY?

GENERAL TRUTH: Humans are afraid of what we do no know. Instinct.

THE CASE: Z calls in “suspicious youth” to local police. He’s told to return to his vehicle. As he turns to do just that, M jumps him, knocks him down, pounds his head into the ground. Wounds confirm this. Z fears for his life, pulls his legally owned & registered weapon and fires. M dies. The MEDIA goes wild. Accuses Z of everything from child molestation to racism, to murder.

THE QUERY: Did Z honestly fear for his life and act out of that fear?

WHERE IS JUSTICE? No, REAL justice … you know, FAIRNESS under the LAW? I guess that only applies under politically correct circumstances, too.

BOTTOM LINE: Z’s life is over! He will either be convicted of the crime of protecting himself, OR he will be acquitted, in which case, he will most likely be gunned down by a mainstream media junkie or a falsely irate person of color spoon-fed HATE, again, by the same MEDIA.

There have been many, many articles written about our waning First Amendment rights, but I haven’t read anything about our state-run/owned media and the vanished FREE PRESS so instrumental in the obtaining of our Liberty at America’s birth.

Most of my life, the press has operated left of center, but they generally made a professional effort to at least present some smithering of all sides of a debate. This is no longer true, which leads me to ask one final question today:

Are there no TRUE JOURNALISTS left in America to fairly inform the people. I know of a handful, but surely there are more with some journalistic pride, some measure of integrity?

Tumbling Down the Rabbit Hole … Again

“A society is judged by how it protects the most vulnerable, those unable to protect themselves. In the case of abortion on demand magnified by abortion just before or just after the baby is born, America has been found wanting.” More HERE!

LIFE is very important. Maybe not everyone has realized this, but it is! In fact, without LIFE, there is only … nothing! Void! Emptiness! LIFE is EVERYTHING. LIFE is purpose! LIFE is hope.

Jesus said, “A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy,
but I came to give life—life in all its fullness.”
John 10: 10

A horrendous darkness has been exposed hidden away, ironically, in the birthplace of the American Experiment in self-governance. Since early in the 1970’s, our society has been drifting into the dark hole while millions of ignorant or apathetic Americans looked the other way. Some of us saw the darkness, others made excuses for its existence. But now, the world knows, and strangely (or not-so-strangely) the media, who should be conscientiously detailing the events for the benefit of the population and would-be victims, is deadly silent. Why so silent? Is there no journalistic pride amongst today’s media moguls?

“One reason may be that the trial of late-term abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell for multiple counts of murder is about an African-American killing mainly African-American babies — and so the common sense among liberals, or, as a friend of mine would say, the “coven-sense,” is that such a story disparages that community. This is something newspapers are loath to do. In much the same manner that they cannot dwell upon the causes of hand gun violence in inner city black communities. Or perhaps they view these killings as prophylactic: one cure for out-of-wedlock births.


Dr Solomon’s Decision – a story of Life

“But perhaps an even more telling reason for ignoring the Gosnell story is that among the terrible details is revealed the fact that many, many babies being aborted late-term survive the process — not just a tiny few, as pro-abortionists keep insisting. And so these innocent little souls have to be murdered.

“In Dr. Gosnell’s clinic, typically by cutting their heads off. In one instance, a child arrived on the table with its eyes and jaw torn off by Gosnell’s forceps. While this helpless, sinless, creature lay writhing on the table, screaming, Dr. Gosnell gestured impatiently at an assistant — do something about that.

“How many children were so murdered? I believe that Gosnell’s charged with seven counts, but testimony indicates there may have been a hundred — maybe more, maybe a lot more. And so the liberal press, ever supportive of a woman’s right to “choose,” just can’t have that known.” READ MORE via Working Up to Auschwitz

Maybe a hundred babies … and it’s not newsworthy? The administration has decided we-the-people don’t need to know this? There are other more vital matters for the people to know and understand? What’s the big deal? Just a few babies?

My heart cries not just for Americans, but for those waiting for Americans to return to their heritage and BE the LIGHT in this darkening world! Sadly, many are merely lining up in agreement with the policies that permit, and even condone, this devaluation of LIFE! Do we really want to experience the tyranny and poverty known by many parts of the world? Whether driven by faith or humanity, compassion costs. MONEY is not evil; it is the LOVE OF MONEY that destroys! Policy makers and population alike, we are ALL doomed if we don’t WAKE UP, AMERICA, and start acting like Grown ups!!!!!

“We make a living by what we get,
we make a life by what we give.”
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)

A Spontaneous Tribute

We don’t hear much news about the men and women serving abroad whether in Iraq, Afghanistan or Kosovo or Germany. We just don’t hear anything. I guess the military is only important to the media when it’s about to be SLASHED by a President/Actor who wants us to believe he really cares. [gag]

This is a TRIBUTE, a loving, respectful tribute to those still fighting and dying for the cause of FREEDOM even though many Americans don’t appreciate the liberties we have nor the men and women throughout history that have sacrificed to preserve them for us.

Our brave and dutiful young men and women sacrifice their lives, their families, and their comfort to fight for AMERICA in places similar to our nation and as different as one could possibly imagine. Their family and friends also sacrifice their loved one to our nation’s service. I don’t know if you understand what they give up, that they endure many discomforts we take for granted … running hot & cold water, healthy food, toiletries, shelter, entertainment options … But perhaps the biggest thing they sacrifice is … HOME.

These men and women are gone for a year or more. When they have done their service and return HOME, THIS is what they find? FEMA training our children, making them into … into WHAT???

Welcome to the FEMA Corps Inaugural Class

They return to see our government, lead by the President, with uninformed Americans in tow, trashing the US CONSTITUTION they swore to support and defend. “Shall not be infringed” means … what?

Magpul to Leave Colorado if Anti-Gun Bill Passes – read their statement here

In previous decades, Hollywood helped foster support for our Military members by offering their entertainment abilities and in some cases, even joined. Elvis Presley, even, as popular and “cool” as he was, saw it his duty to pay his dues in service to the nation. Now, Hollywood does everything it can to mock or ridicule, or at the very least, portray the military in an unflattering light.

Benghazi Survivors Remain Gagged by Federal Law

Might we not demonstrate a little curiosity about what our Military members are doing in, say, AFRICA? Might we not pressure our legislators to push for answers on Benghazi? Might we not demand the media keep us informed about where our soldiers are sent and why? Might we not push for Hollywood to support our TROOPS just a little in exchange for their lavish lifestyles.

There are other issues that concern VETS returning Home … Homelessness among Vets is outrageous. Many, many Vets are not receiving the mental and physical support they were promised. Why do we not hear about these issues?

REMEMBER
Faces of the Fallen

Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the FREE
and the Home of the Brave?

Why Are Americans so Quick to Surrender Today?

Tags

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, Executive Orders, President Clinton, President Obama, US Constitution

Why are Americans so quick to surrender today?

For 236 years, the documents our Founders established with their blood, sweat, and tears have more than sufficed in the face of war, financial crises, and tragedy. Never have I heard talk of scrapping our Constitution until now. Why now? What has changed? If something has changed, is it a change for the better?

Built into the Constitution are specifically outlined methods for amending the Constitution in the event it is found insufficient in some way. Over the course of our history, that need to amend the Constitution has brought about legislative changes in accordance with the instructions outlined in the document.

WATCH the VIDEO: America Gets a Constitution

We must ask ourselves why we, as Americans, are so quick to want to change our Constitution by means of unlawful methods? Past administrations submitted to the authority of the Constitution, or they worked through Congress to bring about the desired changes … for 236 yrs.

President Obama is not the FIRST to want to make changes, but he is the first to openly say he believes America needs a NEW Constitution. What is it so urgent that our President must move by Executive Order? Are the American people so willing to follow blindly where President Obama boldly leads … Even when he moves contrary to our Constitution? Why is he unable to move his policies through Congress legally? What is the urgency? He controls the Senate and had both the House & Senate for the first couple years of his presidency. Why can’t he get his agenda passed? Could it be that even Congress knows Obama’s Dream is NOT in America’s best interest or what the majority of Americans want?

The point at hand, is the Second Amendment of the Constitution. This seems to be the topic at the water cooler or the gym, and from my own experience, Americans are furious that our President is messing with the Constitution. His response? 23 new proposed Executive Orders. TWENTY-THREE!!! The question is, “Can he DO THAT?”

Aggressive Executive orders are not unique to President Obama, in fact, President Clinton was questioned about the breadth and scope of his executive orders. “Many citizens and lawmakers expressed concern over the content and scope of several of President Bill Clinton’s executive orders and land proclamations. Congress responded with hearings and the consideration of several bills designed to curb the President’s authority to issue such directives. In an exceedingly rare act, the courts reacted by striking down one of President Clinton’s executive orders, and litigation to contest the validity of other directives is ongoing.”

If the American people have become so busy, so greedy, so tainted, so lazy, or so apathetic as to surrender the brilliance and foresight of these original documents to the agenda of the moment, as the Dr Benjamin Franklin decreed,

We learned today that, in fact, this administration DID lie to us concerning the Benghazi incident Sep 11, 2012. She and her boss, President Obama, are responsible for the lives of the 4 Americans lost, but they are also responsible for those that survived. Where are they? WHO are they? Have their families learned the truth? And Hillary says, “What difference does it make?” REALLY? This is the audacity of this administration. This is the attitude toward WE-the-PEOPLE … Does anyone else see the pathetic irony here?

This is the administration we want to ALLOW to rewrite our Constitution? Are you NUTTS? Stand your ground, Patriots!

Taxes and Cuts: Homespun Reality

The Penny Plan

When I awoke this morning, I knew at least one if the challenges that awaited me. After a month home from overseas deployment, today I had to release my Soldiergirl back to our nation’s service.

She’s 23, and has been in the Army since Sep 12, 2007. This is her second overseas tour, and while she likes the Army just fine, she is tired of being so far from home. I don’t blame her.

On our way to the airport this afternoon, we encountered a funeral procession. The people in the various cars following the hearse were mostly young. Then we saw the flag-draped coffin. Tears silently rolled down both our faces as the realization sunk in: a service member had paid the ultimate price.

Our state-supported media allows Americans to believe the President is a peace-loving man and seeks peace in the troubled Middle East. This flag-draped coffin reminds us he has actually increased the numbers of casualties by his reckless cuts in supplies and manpower. He refuses the knowledgeable advice of the military experts at the cost of young soldiers.

Now, President Obama wants to cut the military even more. Of course there are misspent dollars in defense, but no more – no less than other gov’t appropriations, but is this where we really want to cut spending?

The Penny Plan makes so much sense, it’s no wonder Democrats refuse to even consider it. It’s too simple & too logical!  It simply cuts 1 penny, yes, 1 cent, for every dollar spent across the board. Every program, every department, every service … 1 freaking penny per dollar spent from education to defense. But it is somewhat uncomfortable, but we cannot continue to borrow 46 cents on every dollar from China. We must take responsibility for our debt, and work to rein it in.

I loathe dropping my Soldiergirl off at the airport. It hurts. As a mom, I wonder everyday if I did the right thing when I encouraged her to join, but then I see how wonderfully she has grown as a young woman, mature beyond her years, yet well prepared to face her future and make life’s decisions. As I drove home after dropping her off at the airport, tears streaked my face. Suddenly, a car buzzed by me and the passenger, apparently responding to my “FIRE OBAMA!” sticker, gave me a thumb down sign. It caught me off guard. I wanted to shout, to fight back, but I couldn’t and it really frustrated me. I know you share this feeling – How do we fight back?

WE-the-PEOPLE can learn from her. She doesn’t enjoy being far from home. She doesn’t enjoy the long hours and frequent moves, friends coming and going everyday … but she does it. WE know our government MUST stop spending money we do not have. We cannot continue to spend more and more and more. We have a generation that has made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of freedom. Surely, the rest of us can make some small sacrifice to our comfort. That is not too much to ask, is it?
