By Patrick J. Buchanan In the fortnight since Chuck Hagel’s name was floated for secretary of defense, we have witnessed Washington at its worst. Who is Chuck Hagel? Born in North Platte, Neb., he was a squad leader in Vietnam, twice wounded, who came home to work in Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign, was twice elected U.S. senator, and is chairman […]

“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone expects to live at the expense of everyone else.” Frederic Bastiat If the ILLEGALS can use the argument that giving birth to a child on American soil means those children are henceforth the financial and social responsibility of America and American’s taxes – then it should stand to reason that […]

I read somewhere that hard work is a sign of a willingness to be responsible. So typically people who are getting things done are usually getting them done for others as well as themselves. Some time ago in an interview with the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Jackson, I described myself as a man that picks up sticks. That may sound […]

The voluntary union (or confederacy) of States known as the United States was born of a secessionist movement against Great Britain, and our Declaration of Independence is, at base, a secessionist document. How, then, can secession legitimately be called ‘un-American?’

Focus on local & state governments. Hold bureaucrats accountable, and respectfully treat them like the public servants they are. They are there for you, not the other way around.

In listening to the morning preachers that I listen to daily one of them brought up a point that really struck me with force. So much so that I could not do my usual morning trap line for news until I write this down. It proves how history REPEATS – over and over and how people fall for the same […]

Cochise County is undergoing some serious transitions since our honorable friend Sheriff Larry Albert Dever left us to meet with the Lord in Heaven. Onward Christian Soldiers (OCS) is a new Christian-based grass roots organization in Cochise County with the potential to grow into a multi-faceted nation-changing entity. With a strong foundation of prayer, OCS will engage in multiple avenues […]

Robert Bork’s 1987 nomination to the Supreme Court, and the uproar over his ideology that ultimately led to his defeat, forever changed the process by which the Senate confirms judges. In the 25 years that have followed Bork’s nomination, the two parties have fought increasingly bitter battles over high court picks in an effort to tilt the third branch of […]

As we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words: “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? … Is it not that, in the chain of […]

This wasn’t in this morning’s headline, “Some travelers OK with full body scans“, but it has been and it proves two things; one, the sheer ignorance on the part of “some”  and the relationship between safety and liberty, and two, the shamelessness with which the media reports its consequences. Unfortunately for what’s left of America, the people who don’t know any better than to […]

All of my life I have worked hard to have MY TIME – Time away from others. I remember as a child grabbing a book or maybe just finding some quiet place where I could be ALONE – without the company of any others – other than God. It has been a *thing* with me all of my life and […]

The Jackson Sun which is owned by the Gannett News Services and delivers papers here in my hometown decided to use the incident in Connecticut  to its measure by talking to a very good friend of mine, Bill Pflaum (Bill and his wife Cindy have own of the Highland Place Bed & Breakfast in Jackson for 12 years) and use it […]

“we live in a fallen world, man is inherently evil (God said so)”

By John W. Whitehead “I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.”—Woody Allen Original Post   Gifts have been bought. Presents wrapped. Now all that remains is the giving and receiving. Oh, and the tracking, of course. Little did you know that all the while you were searching out that perfect gift, you were unknowingly […]

Just days ’till the end of the world. Thank goodness. At least then I won’t have to hear any more about the fiscal cliff…nor the proposed solutions, compromises and assorted other prestidigitations that will “save” the country from driving right off the darned thing… considering we jumped off years ago this in nothing particular new. Which brings me to an interesting article […]

By Charlie Daniels Original Post I find it practically impossible to believe that the majority of this nation can’t see the incredibly dark future that is hanging over this country, the austere and strictly regulated lives we are passing on to our children and grandchildren for generations to come. When I write something like this on my Twitter account, I […]

By Peter Brimelow A couple of times today, in the wake of the appalling school shootings in Newtown CT, I’ve found myself talking to politically-aware individuals who are genuinely surprised to hear that there have been several instances where mass killings have been stopped because private citizens intervened with their own, legal, guns. (Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds discusses two such cases […]

Good material friends have sent. The first is a cartoon that succinctly illustrates why “gun free zones” are easy targets for deranged gunmen. Second is an attachment of a two page document regarding mind control, a practice I have alluded to before, but we would rather ignore.  (It specifically addresses the deliberate creation of multiple personality disorders among subjects.) This […]

“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.” – John Adams, 1777 ” They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve […]

“Half the population no longer reads the newspapers; plainly, they are the more clever half.” Gore Vidal “The marginal person is neither consistently good nor bad, smart nor dumb, bullish nor bearish…. but is subject to influence. Buy him a drink on election day, and he may vote whatever way you want. Stir him up with the right sort of […]
