“Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government power and abuse, has failed. The Founders warned that a free society depends on a virtuous and moral people. The current crisis reflects that their concerns were justified.”
Ron Paul
Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not.
Thomas Jefferson
“Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
George Washington
First President of the United States
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage

The United States is a Constitutional Republic, governed by The Constitution and the Rule of Law. Trash The Constitution, ignore the Rule of Law and we risk our very destruction.
To quote Dr. Ben Franklin, “We’ve given you a Republic, if you can keep it.”
In 1969, Hillary Rodham AKA Hillary Rodham Clinton, wrote a 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College about community organizer Saul Alinsky entitled “There Is Only the Fight . . . “: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.
How many of of Alinsky’s ideas are in the process of being implemented or have been implementer? Let the reader be the judge.
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools
8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
The goal of socialism is communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Government cannot make man richer but it can make him poorer.
Ludwig von Mises
There are periods in the life of humanity which generally coincide with the beginning of the fall of cultures and civilizations, when the masses irretrievably lose their reason and begin to destroy everything that has been created by centuries and millenniums of culture.

I have been a Republican all of my life and have watched the Republican Party over the past years lose its way. The concept of smaller government, less spending and lower taxes is a distant memory.
Where have the conservative politicians disappeared to? I can barely list Republican politicians who are true conservatives. Every election cycle it seems to be a choice of the lesser of two evils.
I have had a longtime belief that the Democrats, if left in power long enough, will destroy the Nation. Unfortunately if the Republicans continue to abandon their once conservative values they will destroy the Nation as well. It will just take them a little bit longer.
President George Bush was amazing in his response to 9/11 and he did what I would expect any President to do. Also, his policy on lower taxes was a great idea. It undoubtedly strengthened the economic outlook of America. But! And there is a big but here, the rest of his domestic policies brought more big government and bigger spending than any other president in my lifetime. Plus, the man never stood up for himself or his administration. In the end he was a huge disappointment.
But wait!
There’s more.
Here comes Barack Obama who outdid Bush’s record and spent more than ALL US Presidents combined. An unsustainable path. The Democrats and Republicans have not passed a budget in years even though a yearly budget is a Constitutional requirement. It’s just too easy to pass a Continuing Resolution and spend more money. Let’s just kick the can down the road another year.
Now Obama is Out and surprise of surprises Donald J. Trump beats Hillary Clinton for the win in 2016. Like clockwork the Democrats start plotting to remove Donald J. Trump even before his inauguration. Donald J. Trump immediately becomes the enemy of the Deep State, Mainstream Media, Democrats, Never Trumpers and assorted RINOs. Now there is a concerted effort to remove President Trump from office using any made up crime the Democrats can imagine.
The current crop of politicians in Washington DC have abandoned the American people. Representative governance has given way to a government dictating to the people from Washington DC. Somehow in the rarefied air inside the beltway they know what’s best for America. At least, that’s what it looks like from here. If the non-producers exceed the producers in the next election cycle a permanent voting block will be created by citizens that have learned how to vote for largess from the US Treasury. This usually results in the collapse of every nation where this has occurred. America is on the brink of disaster.
What happened to the Republican Party? They seem to have no backbone and are suffering from lack of leadership.
What happened to my America?
Where is the America that I grew up in? I can barely recognize it. I feel like I am an American Political Orphan.
