Today I read a great quote: “ Never feel sorry for raising dragon slayers in a time where there are actual dragons. ” Encouraging words! Reading words like this quote make us feel empowered, but what are we actually doing to prepare our kids for the dysfunction of our current society? Raising kids is not a passive act. Words like this energize conservative parents but the flip side hides an inconvenient truth; we are the ones allowing these dragons to live, thrive, and be rampant among us. The motions we make…the actions of our elected representatives… are often an impotent attempt toward being dragon tamers, not dragon slayers. Silent complacency is convenient, it allows us to carry on with our day to day lives, but what price are we paying for it? What investment are we making for our children’s future as a result of it? If we are to save our society, we must equip our children for battle. That is a very sad, very necessary notion. Liberal indoctrination is happening across social me...

My post from April 14 titled "LIBERTY, ONCE LOST, IS LOST FOREVER" seemed to be well received with one exception.   This guy in the screenshot represents most liberals I have come across on Twitter.   No intelligent argument, no facts, no truth in their statements.   They get angry and hurl insults.   It's pathetic and comical at the same time. I went to this idiot's profile and his Tweets were a tapestry of complete, baseless lies about Republican politicians and Conservatives. Responses like this make me smile.   To know that my words have irritated a person from the liberal left so much that they can do nothing but post some juvenile, unintelligent response is a compliment.   To all liberals who read my posts I say this; Your lack of morals, honesty, and respect for others is appalling.   Your 'cult' represents the most self-centered, delusional people on the planet.   When you get angry at my words... when you spew vitriol at me... when you ar...

“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility--I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it--and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.” Words from former president John F Kennedy’s inaugural address. If these words were used as a litmus test for character, most every Conservative patriot I know would be validated. Like me, if the time came and the need existed, they would sacrifice a great deal, even their lives, to defend liberty and the soul of this nation. We patriots are not asking what our country can do for us. We are not making demands for special rig...

I had the privilege yesterday of having dinner at Gadsby’s Tavern in Olde Towne Alexandria VA (the pictures are for the trolls who keep accusing me of lying). Gadsby’s has been a tavern under various ownerships since the 1770’s and was frequented by our founding fathers; George Washington and John Adams particularly. The floor in the tavern is made from wood planks off ships that once carried the first Americans to the colonies. I was humbled by the historic significance and found myself thinking about the conditions in the colonies that preceded the American Revolution. I wondered what our founders would think of the nation that we have become. Those men… that risked so much to stand up in defiance of tyranny were extraordinary. Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock… all very wealthy landowners and businessmen. Each had mastered the economic environment of the time and managed to amass great wealth. They could have very easily continued to work the system under British rul...

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and philosopher said this about dissent toward government: “… And without that change of conviction, what else is there other than slavery?” When a regime cannot convince its people of the righteousness of its cause, it has three choices:     1. Release power 2. Change   3. Enslave its people Which do you think is happening in America now?   The liberal Left has demonstrated a fanatical unwillingness to change or release power since the Clinton administration. What then is their only option? The strategy for enslavement of a population has three primary pillars: 1. Removal of a people’s ability toward insurrection and defense 2. Eliminate access to education, communication, and accurate information 3. Dependency on state for basic needs Patriots, we are all smart enough to see what’s happening. The Democrats in power right now are engaged in the following: 1. Orchestrating lunacy to incite Conservatives to violent reaction so that marsh...

Emotional downtime, like sleep, is vital to our mental and emotional well-being.   Part of the liberal strategy is to use our passionate anger and objection to keep us negatively engaged; so our brains don't get much-needed downtime.   News, social media, streaming entertainment, advertisements, now even our grocery labels are becoming saturated with a narrative intended to keep us pissed off. When I'm angry, it's hard to focus on anything but the subject of my irritation.   I am not the best version of myself at my job, with my friends, and with my family.   By keeping us negatively engaged, the Left is keeping us off our game.   Ask yourself how often you have felt optimistic, hopeful, content, or generally positive in the past year?   They have found a slow drip torture technique that is working - a milder but more devious technique akin to sleep deprivation.   Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.   Please... for the sake of your mental health and the sa...

I got called a "liar" by a fellow Patriot and Conservative yesterday because my post about complacency and supporting the woke culture rubbed him the wrong way. Sorry Doug. Of course he couldn't produce any evidence when I challenged him on the accusation and I reminded him how Conservatives like him are sharply protesting President Trump's indictment because of a lack of credible evidence, while he turns around and makes bold declarations about my posts... with no evidence to back them up.   See the irony?   I've only been on Twitter for 4 months and I've gotten trolled way more times by other Conservatives than by liberals. I just don't get it.   Why can't we band together in a unified front?   Yes, everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and to be passionate about different aspects of the cause, but how does it help anything to muckrake a fellow Conservative Patriot and degrade his or her credibility?   What is the end gain?   We are stronge...

I ran into an old classmate at the store this morning who I hadn’t seen for years. We chatted for at least 20 minutes, catching up on each other’s lives. When I told her I travel to DC a lot for my job, the conversation turned political. Her demeanor tensed and her tone sharpened as she talked about how horrible Biden was and how inflation and rising cost of living was hurting her family. Her rant traveled from there to the Trump indictment, the Nashville shooting, and ended in a general declaration of how messed up our country has become. As I listened my eyes drifted to her shopping cart … Easter candy, various groceries, iTunes gift cards, Nike flip flops, and a case of Bud Light. THIS IS WHY WE ARE LOSING! We talk a big game but too often give in to convenience. We like to say we hate the Woke agenda while we support Woke companies. We sit in the comfort of our homes railing about liberty on social media platforms while the liberals are attending meetings at local school boards and...

  CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTS – STOP BEING TRICKED!   It’s hard not to get swept up in the whole transgender “war” that seems to be waging.  As a Christian father who wants to protect his own rights and the rights of his children, my first reaction is to jump to the defense; to speak out and join with other voices in objection to the ridiculous barrage of absurdity that is being generated by less than 2% of the population and embraced by the highest level of our government.   But we need to STOP!   This transgender nonsense is nothing more than an irritating spectacle that the Left knows will spark emotions in Conservatives and draw our attention away from the more devious activities they are engaged in.  It’s actually brilliant in a James Bond evil villain sort of way.   We Conservatives need to stop giving the transgender movement attention.  Push this distraction aside and keep asking questions about the Biden family’s China collusion, our allies aba...

Louise Mirrer, CEO of the New York Historical Society, was interviewed by Smithsonian Magazine on the topic of the Nazi Holocaust. According to her, the most evil and devious strategy used by the Nazis to inspire an entire population to hate an ethnic group wasn’t guns or tanks, it was ACCLIMATIZATION.  She talked about how the Nazi strategy in German controlled territories during the 1930s and 1940s was to slowly acclimatize residents to increasingly shocking activities, each outshining the last.  A book being burned isn’t nearly as bad as a home being set ablaze, which isn’t nearly as bad as someone being murdered, and so on.  They eventually get to a place where atrocities which would have once been appalling, become common place.   “You kind of lose the capacity to feel appalled. And then you just believe it,” Mirrer says. “Being exposed to such appalling comparisons over an extended period of time desensitized even the most well-meaning of people, so that compar...

The Democratic party took shape in the early 1820’s through a process that French Foreign Minister and intellectual Alexis de Tocqueville compared to “the gathering of scum and algae upon still waters.”  De Tocqueville noted that in the quiet stillness of contented citizens, those who are corrupt and divisive start movements toward their own goals, first in quiet whispers and ultimately through the roar of an angry mob, intent on subversion and perversion.  As the right and just majority chooses the easier path of uninvolved complacency, the vile minority is given the stage to advance their own agenda.  It will continue, de Tocqueville said, until the righteous majority stands and gathers to disperse the mob.  He also noted that in the corrupt environment of radical subversives, “outstanding men will avoid elected office in order to pursue more positive and wholesome private ambitions.” Those who did seek public office, he believed, were often poorly informed and ope...

  1. VOTE out liberals and dems at every level   2. DEMAND action from your Governor and Representatives (their email addresses are public record) 3. BOYCOTT woke companies (Google the latest list) 4. SILENCE liberal media by not interacting with them at all (not even to argue with them) 5. BE SMART about how you behave (don't give them anything to use against us) 6. BAND TOGETHER with other Republicans and Christians.  Support them even if you don’t agree with every point

  Wolves were used by Vikings to attack their enemies in battle. Exceptionally hard to train, wolves only submitted to the will of their masters when food was sharply rationed; made available only in response to 'correct' behaviors. Making wolves completely dependent on their masters for food was the only way to control them. Binding them, beating them, even killing the alpha as an example to the other wolves had no lasting effect. Dependency was the only method to maintain control.   Are you free? When your government feeds you, clothes you, and gives you shelter, does that make you free? When your means of communication, information, and education are all provided to you by your 'elected' officials, does that strengthen your independence? Or do you wag your tail when you are given handouts and then follow commands in the hope of getting more?   Those that came before you had indomitable spirits. They struggled, fought, died ... and won true freedom. They sacrificed al...

I’m done apologizing…   I am a middle aged, middle class, white American man, and I’m done apologizing.   My family came to America in the late 1840’s to escape starvation, disease, and persecution in Ireland.  They couldn’t afford to eat much less own slaves.  I do not owe you reparations.   Every conflict that this country has been through from the Civil War to the War in Afghanistan has taken the lives of members of my family; fighting for your freedom, I will not let you compromise mine.   Don’t talk to me about equality and equity when what you demand is special treatment.   Don’t complain about opportunity while mine is limited so that you can feel valued.   Don’t demand respect when you give none and clearly have none for yourself.   Don’t speak of rights while you attempt to dissolve my right to teach my children according to my faith and personal values.   Don’t champion kindness while your demonstrations are driven by hate. ...
