Remember us?  The “baby boomers,” “Senior Citizens,” “Dinosaurs,” “Old Geezers,” and “Over the Hill gang.” Guess What?  We’re baaaaack.  Remember 2010?  We delivered the House and almost the Senate.  Well, what we started in 2010 we intend to finish in 2012.  Democrats make the mistake of believing all we care about is our Social Security checks, so we know what to expect.  Guess what liberals?  Our real concern is for the future of our children and grandchildren.  We intend to see that they…

Beginning with our founding in 1776, and continuing to this day, America has faced numerous crises.  At each of these times an individual has stepped forward to lead the resistance and preserve our cherished liberty and freedom.  Without these special, though flawed, patriotic warriors who stepped forward in time of crises, America today would likely still be a British colony with no Declaration of Independence, no Constitution, and little freedom.    These “shores of freedom” have…

The seeds of revolution are planted and watered by government tyranny.  It is the inherent nature of government to grow and assume more and more power.  This is not new but has existed from the beginning. The limit of government power is determined by what the people are willing to tolerate.  People, especially the people who founded this nation correctly understood that the rights of the people came from God, not from the government.  The sole legitimate function of the government is the…

Congressman Allen West

1708 Longworth HOB

Washington, DC 20515

Congressman West,

“I, Allen Bernard West, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the…

It has been my privilege to live under 12 presidents.  Because they were all human, they all had faults.  Even Ronald Reagan, who I consider to be one of the best presidents of my lifetime, had his own shortcomings.  To expect a man or woman to be perfect in any area is to expect the impossible.  It is equally impossible to believe that a president can be found who will…

The year was 1760.  On October, 25 George William Fredrick was anointed King George III of England.  During the early years of his reign King George involved England is several wars.  The early defeat of France brought an end to the “Seven Year War.”  However, the cost had been heavy and the Royal Treasury was in desperate need of funds.  To acquire these funds King George looked across the ocean to the thirteen colonies which England had established in the New World.  When the colonist…

In 1775 there were three types of colonist; Patriots, Tories, and the indifferent.  Each category represented approximately one-third of the population.

The Tories were those who support King George III and British rule of the colonies.  They were comprised primarily of government officials and those who supported them.  During the war for independence they either returned to England or sided with the British against the Patriots.  Many became…

Tennessee is a great state which has sent some outstanding statesmen to Washington.  Unfortunately, the two of you are not among them.  You have proven yourself to have the spine of a jelly fish, the mouth of an alligator, and the…

Many of you read and replied to the article, "The Gray-Haired Brigade" Gray-Haired Brigade Tee-shirts are now available at the following link: http://www.alandcalledamerica.com/gray-haired-brigade-tee-shirts

They make a great Christmas present for a older patriot.

During the age of colonizing the New World a number of Old World countries established colonies in the New World. It is the British colonist, now know as Americans, who have surpassed all others and have become a unique and exceptional people. The British colonist were indeed a special breed of people. Just to establish a foothold in a savage land required both…

Admiral…

Just over 400 years ago, on April 27, 1607, three small ships arrived off the coast of the “New World.” Captain Edward Wingfield selected a small island about 40 miles up a river as the most defensible location for the new colony. The new colony was given the name of Jamestown. The three ships which had crossed an ocean to bring these first settlers were named the Constant, the…

I am 70 years old and have lived under twelve Presidents. I have voted in every presidential election since 1962. I was an Area Campaign Manager for Ronald Reagan. I am somewhat of a student of American History. That said, I am seeing something today I have never seen in any previous election. The level of involvement defies description. This election is not about parties, but…

You clowns still don’t get it!

Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in many years. He has shown us the face of evil and of socialism. He has drawn our attention to what is going on in Washington, and We the People have had all we are going to take. We are going to take…

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are “baby boomer” getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children,…

Two hundred twenty-three years ago, on September 17, 1787, the Constitution of the United States of America became the supreme law of our land. It was one of the most unique documents ever penned by the hands of men. It established a government “Of the people, by the people and for the…

It is an indisputable fact that when all light is removed only darkness remains. It is equally indisputable that when all good is removed only evil remains. The land of the free and home of the brave is now in serious jeopardy of ceasing to be a beacon of freedom for the world and descending forever into a land of darkness. In addition, the Gospel has gone out from America into…

I stand before you this morning as a 70 year old man with emphysema. 50 years ago I was serving in the U. S, Navy. Thirty years ago I was an area campaign manager for Ronald Reagan. Two years ago, if you asked me, “What are you doing?” my answer would have been “As little as possible.”…

In 1765 Sir William Blackstone, who taught law at Oxford University, pub­lished his four-volume Commentaries on the Law of England. They won…

Real warriors hate war. They hate the conditions, the bloodshed, and the fear that fills every heart. They are not brave and courageous heroes staring death in the face and laughing at it. They are just young men who stepped forward to meet a challenge they did not fully understand, yet in their hearts knew must be faced. They don’t want to fight or to take the life of others. Each would rather be back home dating his girl, or loving his wife and playing with his…
