Arlington Cemetery, No Place For Obama

A week in our nation’s capitol can have a profound effect on a person. It is impossible not to be awed by the splendor of that beautiful city. As one walks among the monuments to our great founders and leaders, one cannot help but have a sense of pride in all that this has meant to the freedom of the Western world.

From the Lincoln Memorial inscribed with the Gettysburg Address one can look across the mall and see the towering spire of the Washington Monument. From the Washington Monument… Continue

A LAND CALLED AMERICA - PART 10

Today we stand in the shoes of our founding fathers. The winds blowing from Washington smell of evil, corruption, and tyranny. We, like them, are faced with a government seeking to take away our cherished freedoms and God giv¬en rights. We, like them, have no representation in the halls of government. The hallowed halls of congress, once walked by statesmen dedicated to serv¬ing the interests of the people, are now occupied by power hungry politicians who only hear the voices of the special…

A LAND CALLED AMERICA- PART 9

In the election of 2008 the seeds of socialism sown in the 60’s began producing fruit. An unknown Senator from Illinois, the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, was elected president of the United States. He was an extremely charismatic orator who ran on a platform of…

A LAND CALLED AMERICA - PART 8

In 1960 I was one of many proud sailors in the United States Navy. In 1980 I was one of many proud soldiers in the Reagan Revolution. I count it among my greatest blessings to have been born in the United States of America and to have lived during the best years of our nation’s history.

As my generation prepares to pass the torch of liberty to the next we do so with great trepidation. We have been privileged to be the sons and daughters of the Greatest Generation. Their legacy can never be… Continue

A LAND CALLED AMERICA - PART 7

It’s difficult to assign a date or a single event as being the beginning of the decline of American values. While some claim it can be traced back to New Deal socialist policies enacted as an unsuccessful means of fighting the Great Depression, others point to the 60’s and the vast changes which began…

A LAND CALLED AMERICA - PART 6

Just eleven years after the end of the Civil War, America celebrated her first centennial. France had intended to give a statue to America in recognition of the friendship between the two nations which had been established during the Revolutionary war.

A LAND CALLED AMERICA - PART 5

In 1812 the British determined to retake America and the United States was forced into a second war with England. On August 24, 1814 British forces fought their way into Washington, D.C. with the intent of totally destroying the new capital of the United States. By evening the capital was swarming with redcoats. The main buildings of the U.S. government were in flames, set ablaze by British torches. The British then moved on to the President’s House. The soldiers left the house in shambles. As… Continue

A Land Called America - Part 3

The crisis escalated and, with “The shot heard round the world,” the American Revolutionary War began at Concord, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. Just days before, on March 23, Patrick Henry had stood on the floor of the Vir¬ginia House of Burgesses and made a passionate speech which ended with the inspiring words:

“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of… Continue

A Land Called America - Part 2

It was the pursuit of a dream. A dream of living free in a land of freedom. This dream sustained them through the darkest days of the young nation and was the bond which held them together through many hardships. Their journey was more than a voyage across 3,000 miles of ocean. They saw it as a moral…

A Land Called America

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 Discovery, and the Godspeed. These ships not only brought settlers to the new world, they also brought the name… Continue

Pa and the Rifle (A Christmas Story)

Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was from him that I learned the greatest joy in life comes from giving, not from receiving.

It was Christmas Eve 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on me because there just hadn't been enough money to buy me the rifle that I'd wanted for… Continue

A Time For Unity

Two recent polls have given Tea Party advocates cause for celebration. A June 15 poll by Gallop, based on 160,000 respondents. finds 40% of the electorate to be conservative, 35% moderate, and 21 % liberal. It goes on to state that conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states. A Rasmussen poll released on December 7 finds that if a three party election were held today, the results would be Democrats 36%, Republicans 18%, and the Tea Party candidate 23%, leaving 22%… Continue

A land Called America

My fellow Patriots. I have recently completed a 27 page pamphlet entitled, "Once Upon a Time There Was a Land Called America." Sub-title, "A letter to my Grandchildren's Grandchldren." It has been very well received by all who have read it. One lady stated, "I cried during parts of it." I would like to get as many of these in circulation as possible. I will send a comlimentary copy to anyone asking for one. In order to cover my cost and postage I need to receive $1.00 a copy for additional… Continue

The Second American Revolution

The Second American Revolution will not be Violent!

A very interesting Rasmussen poll was released today. The headline reads, “66% ANGRY AT GOVERNMENT POLICIES, 60% SAY NEITHER PARTY HAS ANSWERS.”

Who are these angry people? According to Rasmussen they are 90% of the Republicans, 44% of the Democrats and 77% of the Independents.

Wow. How can this be? Nancy Pelosi assures us that it is only a vocal minority who show up at Tea Parties and Town Hall meetings and… Continue

Letter to Congress

September 22, 2009

Editor

Lebanon Democrat

Open letter to Congressmen Jim Cooper and Bart Gordon

King George underestimated the anger and commitment of the American colonist. It would be a grave mistake for you and your fellow congressmen to underestimate the anger and commitment of the American people today. We will not be arriving at your home with torches and pitchforks, as ACORN would be, nor advocating violent revolution, but we will be arriving at ballot… Continue

It's a Matter of Trust

It’s a matter of trust.

This nation was founded and built upon a set of inalienable principles. Among which were individual responsibility, limited government, free enterprise, state’s rights and the opportunity for individual excellence.

These are the bedrock principles that have led to our greatness as a nation and our leadership of the free world. Ordinary Americans are a peace loving and tolerant people. We choose to quietly go about living our lives and allowing our… Continue
