We are all aware of our first amendment rights. In this culture, we are inundated by claims of our freedom of speech...

It has become exceedingly clear that this nation has taken a sharp turn away from a “We the People” dynamic and moved towards more government oppression in the last decade. Not since the days of the failed Compromise of 1850 has this Union teetered on the brink of dissolution in so great a scale as we face today...

We are at a time in our nation’s history when the status quo will no longer work, when just kicking the can down the road for four more years can no longer push off the inevitable…America is in an identity crisis. We could call this a midlife crisis, but at this rate this Union may not last for another 240 years. And if this nation hopes to endure, we have to reclaim the heritage and identity of our nation...

Benghazi. Just that name evokes strong opinions for a myriad of reasons. After two years of endless congressional investigations, FBI probes and trying to find where in the world Hillary Clinton hides her servers, we are finally getting closer to discovering the truth…hopefully...

Well the cold war has officially thawed. Through the failed ending of the Iraqi withdrawal and the indecisive foreign policy of the Obama administration, the Middle East has become a hotbed for uncontrolled violence with absolutely no leadership alternative rising up to quell the bloodshed.

Much is said of our right to vote. It is a right that should be treasured and appreciated for the power that comes with it. But in this democracy it is not just a right, it is also a privilege...

A hot topic today is immigration. This is a multifaceted problem which has been largely debated for generations with no clear direction or leadership by the federal government. The topic is one that stirs strong emotions on all sides but which is mostly met with double speak by Washington...

There is a saying about releasing the “dogs of war" meaning that when you go to war you pull out all the stops and defeat your enemy. Which brings us to Afghanistan...

 In looking over the leadership void we have experienced in this country and in the world over the past eight years, the struggle and chaos that society has begun to slip into is sadly no surprise. Our federal government has voted “present” for the last eight years. That “kick the can” down the road approach has been embraced from the White House down through both houses in Congress...

Out of many one…that is our national heritage and our national identity.  That concept is the bedrock of our common values. Out of all the people in the entire world, we Americans have come together from different races, religions, geographical birthplaces and have united to build on the common dream of freedom...

Since rising from the ashes of September 11, 2001, our nation has been at war on multiple fronts. The first front, of course, is our War on Terror, and the second war is the confounding War on National Unity that each party has waged on the American people ever since. In an unwavering mission to “turn out the vote” and score points for each prospective party...

We all know about our much-heralded freedom of speech, but how about we take a little freedom from speech. Let’s stop talking so much. We have a right to bear out our grievances; but in the over 200 years since that right was granted, we have found way too much to be aggrieved about. 

We believe freedom is the birthright of every human being on earth, even those not strong enough to rise up for themselves. If governments want to accept the billions of dollars in aid from us each year, with it comes the caveat that we might have something to say when they oppress their people or want to hold sham elections, or their leader tries to appoint himself as permanent dictator. If they don’t like it...

Have you ever wished you could have access behind the curtain of some of the biggest moments in history?  If so, let me recommend the books of Jeff Shaara. Through exhaustive research and a painstaking practice of exact detailing, he writes historical fiction...
