Time to #WalkAway: The Exodus of Blacks and Free Thinkers from the Democrat Party

Tigers Remain Declawed

Due to the actions of the brass at Missouri, they have this coming in spades.

As the Daily Caller reports, "The image problems stem from an eruption of Black Lives Matter protests rocked the Columbia, Mo. campus in November 2015. The protests by a group calling itself Concerned Student 1950 group centered largely on Jonathan Butler, the son of a millionaire railroad executive. Butler went on a hunger strike and convinced 32 black Mizzou football players to boycott all team activities."

America was not impressed, and most consider Black Lives Matter a borderline terrorist organization.

“Black Lives Matter hates the American system of government, i.e., the Constitution and capitalism,” says Rev. Jesse Lee Patterson, founder and president of the civil-rights organization BOND. Patterson says the movement associates the U.S. with “whiteness,” and, therefore, despises the very government that appears to be endorsing it.

We noted at the time the University of Missouri was in trouble, mainly for how they appeasing Black Lives Matter, a social justice movement. This highly financed group is part of the agenda created to discredit churches, companies, agencies and organizations while creating divisions between classes through race, gender and economic status.

The New York Times notes a Mizzou journalism professor said "The protests could have been turned into an asset — a chance to celebrate diversity. “We still can.”

It seems to me that mindset remains steadfast in appeasement, not connecting with the values of most of America, and certainly from the heartland.

Mizzou should celebrate the chasing of dreams of their students through individualism and teamwork, not orchestrated diversity.

Dishonest Broker

An Appetite of a Garbage Disposal.

The progressive left has placed America on a steady course to a European social democracy in "endless pursuit of goal that cannot be achieved".

An appetite of a garbage disposal.

A government powerful enough to give is equally powerful enough to take away. The action is not about helping the citizenry; rather about controlling it. Increasing government control over the citizenry places the individual on a road to serfdom.

Free markets and limited government empower the individual, and create the best path to prosperity.

Why more government is NEVER enough for liberalism

Assualt on Private Property Ownership Lurks In The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule

Private property ownership is under direct assault from the tyrannical Obama administration as part of their efforts of transforming America and engaging in the transfer of wealth.

Property rights are without question central to the freedoms of our nation, and must be protected at all legally permissible costs. "Private property ownership is the path to building wealth and eliminating poverty".

"America became the wealthiest nation on earth in a very short time precisely because of the ability of every American to own and control their own property. Ownership produces equity – that is a process to build wealth".

It is noted HUD Secretary Julian Castro, who is high on the Democrat VP list, is a major player in these efforts and someone who places little value on property rights and individual freedom.

Private Property Ownership – the First American Right To Die Under Barack Obama’s Tyranny

America Key is Individual Power

--Over time, he feared, the state would take away citizens’ free will, their capacity to think and act, reducing them to “a herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd."

Alexis de Tocqueville

de Tocqueville, with his background providing the frame for his unique position for evaluation of America's place in the world, was absolutely spot on.  As noted in the fine piece at Daily Signal astutely analyzing de Tocqueville and his conclusions, he critiqued in "the spirit of friendship."

Quoting from the piece, de Tocqueville wanted us to “remember constantly that a nation cannot long remain strong when each man in it is individually weak, and that neither social forms nor political schemes have yet been found that can make a people energetic by composing it of pusillanimous and soft citizens.”

Alexis de Tocqueville should be required reading for high school, if not middle school students, throughout America's public school system.  I might ask the members of Congress to familiarize themselves as well.

The Real Heroes!

Ten years ago today, on June 5, 2004, America lost a true hero in our 40th President, Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan embodied all the characteristics we should seek in a president.  Reagan was a freedom loving man, who placed God and country first, embracing American exceptionalism and rugged individualism seeking to leave all he influenced with the flame of freedom, with aspiration and hope for a better future.


Ronald Reagan at Normandy

Unlike our current Commander in Chief, who has disdain for our military, Reagan had a special bond with our men and women in uniform, formed from genuine heartfelt appreciation and respect.

"In times of peace and in times of war America's military power has lead our nation to many great victories."-Ronald Reagan

While there are many instances of Reagan utilizing his wonderful communication skills in praise of the tremendous sacrifice of our military members and their families, few can compare to the speech given by President Reagan at Normandy commemorating the 40th anniversary of D-Day, or The Invasion of Normandy.

The bravery and sacrifice of those who hit Normandy rivals few, and on this day in 1984, President Reagan eloquently said what so very many of us feel and were unable to express.

Please take a listen:



Friday, June 6, 2014, will mark the 70th anniversary of this historic day.

On this day, our hearts and prayers will be with all the brave men lost on that day and those who stormed those beaches in 1944. A face full of tears will flow as we reflect on this day and express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all those who fought to preserve the freedoms we hold dear.

The Real Heroes. Gentlemen; God Bless You All!

Comfortably Progressive Ruling Class

Back in 2009, at a Tea Party rally in beautiful downtown Orlando featuring Rep. Steve King, R:IA, and radio talk show host Mike Gallagher, standing in the background off my right shoulder I noticed a familiar face; John Boehner, R:OH.

Boehner was not advertised as a featured speaker, and it appeared by his demeanor he was sort of scoping out the situation.  Indeed, as you may suspect, Boehner was identified and was asked to speak ao the crowd delivering what one would consider a decent speech noting all the customary rhetoric concerning the encroachment of freedom being engaged upon by our newly elected President.

But, it did not appear Boehner was comfortable.

In fact, Speaker Boehner has never been comfortable with the Tea Party faction of the GOP.  Items and issues have continued to mount since that evening in Orlando, and on this day we can most certainly conclude that Boehner is a progressive republican who is more comfortable with the big government ruling class than those who champion free markets and the Constitution. 

Two recent issues are worth noting.  First, Speaker Boehner has failed to step up with leadership in the investigation surrounding the most troubling events in Benghazi, at a minimum standing in the background reminiscent of the aforementioned Orlando evening.

Emerging today is an alarming series of emails between the chiefs of staffs of Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whom we find a disgusting individual, working together to have the President to carve them out of the requirement of Obamacare behind the public eye while employing public rhetoric to the contrary.

The Democrats, and perhaps the progressive republicans, may welcome this type of chicanery within their ranks, but those of us in Tea Party, and I would hope most Americans, find it offensive.

But do Republicans and Democrats actually exist anymore? Some say no, and they are likely correct.

Glenn Beck recently interviewed Mark Leibovich of The New York Times, author of the new book "This Town" discussing this theory in some detail.  Please take a listen:



It sure seems a three party system is where we are at; the far left communists, the interior progressive ruling class and the Tea Party Constitutionalists.  Those in the middle are the careerists Leibovich refers to; folks like the Clintons, John McCain and John Boehner.

For the citizenry living in the middle, who seemingly find moderates for either party acceptable, one has to wonder if they are aware of the expansive governmental control surrounding them due to this miscalculation.  The unprecedented intrusion of the NSA, IRS and EPA and Obamacare waivers for big business and the ruling class are recent examples.

Some of the voters simply throw their hands into the air, disengaged, not only by the distractions of the day outlined in the works of Aldous Huxley but by the thought that those in contest are essentially the same, therefore placing little relevance regarding their vote.

This line of thinking was eloquently chronicled in an outstanding piece by Angelo Codevila, titled America's Ruling Class - And the Perils of Revolution in The America Spectator in 2010.  "The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party -- and its vision is revolutionary."  This is a must read.

One thing is for sure.  The current blueprint is unsustainable, and if we don't take the necessary steps to end the madness and employ the vision from the first Reagan inaugural speech by reawakening this industrial giant, forcing government back within its means in every arena and by lightening our punitive tax burden, we are destined for darkness.

Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity, allowing entrepreneurship and individualism to flourish unleashing freedom and liberty across the fruited plain.  Political action, from any party, to the contrary restricting these founding principles should be vehemently rejected, while still possible.
