Why I Write


Why do I write? That is a really great question, actually. I have been asked that quite often over the last several months. It isn't an easy question to answer and the answer is probably not what most might think. I started this journey ten months ago in a hotel room in Winchester, Tennessee. I felt a nudge, a calling if you will, to do more than just share a few news stories with people and give a couple of sentences to summarize the importance of them. I felt God was clearly guiding me to add my voice to the many voices already out here. I didn't start this endeavor for wealth or fame. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I would love to write full-time and make a living at it. But it is a lot deeper than that. So why do I write?

I write because I truly and deeply love our founding fathers and the unique vision they laid out for this republic in which I reside. I write to keep that vision alive and to ignite that same flame in the hearts and minds and souls of my fellow Americans. I write to hopefully inspire people to research more topics and learn. I write to provide insight into our world today, using history as a guide. I write to add a unique historical perspective on current issues facing this republic, and hope I can get others to do some critical thinking and explore these issues a bit deeper. I consider my blog akin to the works of Common Sense, by Thomas Paine. Not nearly as memorable or remarkable, but more a common sense writing for the everyday person. I consider myself more of a gardener, pruning the dead and dying branches and hoping that new green growth will fill in the tree of knowledge to keep our republic alive. Some may say I am just wasting my time. I don't hold any grand illusion that I am going to make a lasting impression on many, but if I can light a fire in a few readers, then I have done more to help save this republic than most. My blog is a last ditch battleground in the war of ideas. This republic is worth fighting for, and freedom and liberty must be fought for, protected, and passed on to others. I write to honor our founding fathers and to uphold their vision. To me, that is my mission statement for this blog. I owe it to the founding fathers and my fellow Americans to write from my heart and soul with a real passion for that vision.

The Interesting Quandary For Democrats And Biden

Image
The Democrats have a dilemma. Joe Biden leads the polls for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as he officially announces his candidacy. The barrage of attacks already began even before he officially put his hat in the ring. When you are perceived as the leader the long knives usually come out. The issues revolve around Biden being just a tad too friendly and invasive around women and little girls. Those pictures and video clips have been around for years now but recently a few women have come forward to the press to highlight their own uncomfortable experiences around Joe. But Biden has much deeper problems than being too friendly with his hands and mouth. The deeper problems involve pay-for-play and obstruction of justice. As journalist Peter Schweizer has highlighted in his book, "Secret Empires: How The American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends," Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, have some serious questions to answer invol

An Open Letter To President Obama

Image
Dear President Obama, In your commencement address you delivered on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, to the graduating class at Rutgers University, you made a statement that is quite disingenuous. You said, and I quote:  "In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago." Now, I do understand that your worldview and my worldview are vastly different, but let's put that aside for the moment and just examine your statement in a fair and balanced analysis. Just the facts, Mr. President. No spin. I will begin with the Iranian Nuclear Deal that you and your administration negotiated. Just this deal alone has made America and the world much more unsafe and worse off than eight years ago.  By allowing Iran access to billions of dollars and appeasing a nation that has continually called America, "The Great Satan", you have allowed them to funnel that money into continuing their nu

Symptoms Of A Great National Malaise

  There is a great malaise that is prevalent throughout America. It's growing deeper and stronger with each passing day. There are some of us who recognize this and are awake. Unfortunately, many others are ignorant and apathetic. This sickness is a spiritual and intellectual disease. Take a look around. On any given day you will find news stories filled with examples of the depravity and licentiousness that eat away at the soul of our republic.  This past week the voters of Ohio came to the polls to approve Issue 1 which moved the line for a legal abortion from 21 weeks and six days to 40 weeks. There are eight million registered voters in Ohio but only slightly more than two million that actually cast ballots. Thus, only one in four registered Ohio voters decided for the entire state. The proponents put this on the ballot on an off-election year rather than next year for a presidential election for obvious reasons. One cannot blame them for being shrewd and taking advantage of vo
