The elections of 2008 (and the early elections of 2010) produced two significant phenomena: the “Ron Paul Revolution,” and the “Tea Party Movement.” And, mark it down: both of them will have profound effects upon the upcoming November elections–and upon the 2012 elections as well. Call them what you want, however, America doesn’t need another movement; it needs a genuine revolution.
The Tea Party movement, while still a force with which to be contended, has already been diluted and compromised. The primary elections plainly reveal the reality of this fact. The high spots so far are the defeats of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Bob Bennett in Utah. The low spots so far are the reelection of John McCain in Arizona and the election of Dan Coats in Indiana.
John McCain’s election, in particular, demonstrates how many conservatives and “revolutionaries” still don’t get it. If any State in the union should have an up-close-and-personal look at what we are up against, it would be the people of Arizona. After all, they are on the front lines in the fight of one of the most important battles currently being waged in our country: illegal immigration. And John McCain is one of the worst offenders in terms of facilitating and encouraging this illegal invasion. Yet the people of Arizona reelected McCain to the US Senate. (It would interesting to know how many illegal aliens voted for McCain, would it not?) Read more of this article »

“These are the times that try men’s souls,” wrote Thomas Paine at the beginnings of the first American Revolution. I’m sure he would be writing the same words today. History shows the British monarch did not go away all by himself. The colonists endured years of bloody military and economic hardships to win their freedom. It’s difficult to say how many would have taken on the British Empire if they had known the cost… but once engaged, they saw it through to the end… to victory.
We are watching Democrats in Congress ignoring constitutional limitations and making up rules as they go while intruding further into our lives and pocketbooks with every passing behind-closed-doors meeting. They have no respect for the American people, or the founders vision of a free and open nation… yet they expect unquestioning compliance with their laws. The colonists fought to throw off the shackles of an overbearing government that looked on the residents of the new world as subjects who existed for the benefit of the King, and we have accepted a new set of masters.
Americans do not see themselves as subjects of a powerful government. The Democrats do. The Americans do not want to see their country bankrupted by underestimated costs of a health care system where the only solutions are to raise taxes beyond the citizens ability to pay or borrow from our enemies and let our children pick up the bill. If either of these options are acceptable, there is little point in reading further. Read more of this article »

The current leaders in the White House, Congress, and in many state and local governments are not trying to solve America’s problems, they are intent on the absolute destruction of the American Constitution and the unique form of representative republic that document envisions. I do not say that lightly. I know there are many people in this country who espouse a much more liberal philosophy than I do who still in their heart wish for our freedoms to continue. There are many people in various political parties who hold widely divergent ideas on how to meet the economic and political challenges of today. We may differ on policy and politics, but we share a common principle that America is a good nation built on a unique idea of personal freedom and responsibility.
That’s what is different now in our leaders that we have NEVER had before. With all due respect for his office, and with my continued prayers for his personal safety and wise decisions, I must tell you that I believe that our current President holds a view of government that is not supported by the American Constitution. Whether he is merely a socialist, or truly the Marxist he now appears to be matters little. The fact is, unless Americans act now and continue to stand regardless of the cost, the Constitution will be shredded by those who believe that freedom is a grant of government rather than a gift from God. We will lose the freedom to speak what we believe, worship as we choose, prosper according to our ability, and protect what we have.
Fifty six men in Philadelphia in that long hot summer of 1776 ended their task by penning a document. That document marked each and every one of them as a criminal. By signing the Declaration of Independence, they broke the law, and put themselves and their families in extreme danger. Even with that cost in mind, they pledged to one another and to us their posterity their “lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.” Because of them we can take that same stand today without breaking the law (at least for now). we can still say what we think, and basically live our lives in relative freedom.
