Life is too Precious not to be Free…
As I was sitting here tonight writing my latest post on a charity that means the world to many of our wounded veterans, I got a call from my cousin Chad. We had spoken many times already throughout the day about various things, but as soon as I answered the phone I heard a painContinue reading “Life is too Precious not to be Free…”
A Patriot’s Charity: The Fisher House
When you live in the greatest country on earth, a country that has given so much to so many, I feel one of the greatest gifts that you can give back is to put it all on the line to join your brothers and sisters in arms, and so many patriots that have precededContinue reading “A Patriot’s Charity: The Fisher House”
A Right vs. A Privilege: What’s the difference?
It doesn’t seem like you can see or hear a news story today without someone yelling about their rights being violated. I think the most clear examples are what has been taking place in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, among other states when it comes to collective bargaining “rights” in regard to public employee unions.

In Memory of my Departed Father on his would-be 57th Birthday
Today, March 14, 2011, would have been my Dad’s 57th birthday. My gift to him is to write a little about the greatest gift that he ever gave me.

Isn’t a dollar in fact,Continue reading “What does a Dollar represent to you?”
Jesse Jackson Jr., As Crazy & out of touch with reality as his ol’ man…
Like many people from my generation, we have grown up with wonderful memories of the many crazy soundbites from the “hard to take seriously” Reverend Jesse Jackson. This goofball has never seen a microphone he didn’t like or a situation he wasn’t tripping over himself to interject his agenda.

Harry Reid is an absolute JOKE!
I am going to make this short, because I have to get up early to go to a job I can not stand in order to make sure that I may stay within my budget. Unfortunately, Harry Reid, who I find to be one seriously deplorable little weasel, knows nothing of staying within aContinue reading “Harry Reid is an absolute JOKE!”
Ask yourself, “What is the role of Government?”
As I have been sitting here reading over many of the news stories of the week, and seeing many of the reactions of protesters and consumers over current economic & fiscal matters facing our great nation today, I have to wonder, do people ever just ask themselves, “What it the role of Government?” Continue reading “Ask yourself, “What is the role of Government?””
Leftist Illinois Atty General doing her damdest to endanger citizens!
It is times and situations like this of which you are about to read that make me wonder how some people’s stupidity affords them the opportunity to reach adulthood, let alone be elected to public office, but then again, we are talking about Illinois. The actions of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan are outrageouslyContinue reading “Leftist Illinois Atty General doing her damdest to endanger citizens!”
