The New Year

First of all I wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year and hope that God grants us as a nation his good graces once again. We need it now more than ever. I know that I have not posted much on here the past couple of months, however with the coming of a new year my plans for my site, social network, and my internet show have changed I feel for the better. Blogtalk radio has killed all of its free shows starting in november by seriously limiting what we can do. Since I was a free member I am one of those hit hard by the changes. However I am looking into new options and re-imaging the American Patriot: Michael J. Maxim brand. Look for changes to be posted the next coupe of weeks now that the holidays are over. Thank you all for you continued support and God bless us all!

Kill Your Children…the progressives say it’s okay!

I’ve never been so sick in my life after reading what seems to be an ongoing trend on news stories coming from the left. It seems that the new fad is to push for the legalizing murder…specifically the murder of children. Infants to be exact. You see one of the things that contribute to the problems in this country is the lack of respect for the sanctity of life and the lack of self respect. First it came with legalizing abortion. Then there was the debate over whether late term abortions were right or not. Now I’ve read two separate articles about how it’s okay to kill infants AFTER they are born! Yes that’s right it’s okay to murder your children according to a few extremely crazy progressives!

First let’s look at internationally known Princeton "bioethicist" and animal-rights activist

Peter Singer who recently said he'd kill disabled babies if it were in the "best interests" of the family, because he sees no distinction in the child's life whether it is born or not, and the world already allows abortion. This mane is supposed to be well respected and world renowned! I don’t want to get on my soap box and preach to you about how abortion is wrong because it’s murder, but I want to point out that all of this is like playing with dominos. First you allow the abortion domino, then when that falls it hit’s the debate for late term abortion domino, which then hit’s the let’s kill disabled infants domino. What the hell is wrong with this whole scenario? I swear there are times I wake up and look at the news, see stories like this and wonder what part of the twilight zone do I now live in?

In an interview this man has stated in an almost straight to the point way that it’s legal to kill a cow so why not kill an infant with disabilities. Are you kidding me! Kind of makes all this noise about death panels and references to Logan’s Run more real doesn’t it. When asked directly if he would kill an infant with disabilities he responded without even a pause…YES! To many Americans this man would be considered crazy, yet don’t forget he holds a well respected position in the educational and scientific communities. He is dangerous to say the least.

However in recent news he is not the only one. Let’s look at UK advise columnist Virginia Ironsides. A video of an interview with her is floating around the internet now where she clearly states that she would have no remorse smothering a child who was in agony. She even says that it would be the act of a loving mother! What kind of mother would kill their children. No matter what was wrong with my child it has the right to life, a right to fight for it’s life, and a right to be protected from harm by it’s parents! That’s a fact.

Another thing recently that has turned my stomach on the issue of lack of respect for life is the praising of doctor Jack Kevorkian at the Golden Globes. The fact that a sympathetic movie about the man was made is stomach turning enough, but the open praise of the man that was given by Al Pacino was disgusting. I’m sure we all know the saga of Jack Kevorkian and his work and I think that any normal person with basic morals would find him disgusting and not fitting of praise! This is all twisted!

All of this is disturbing to say the least. Where is the respect of life in this country. It is morally wrong to kill for no good reason. Some of our greatest advancements in life are because of people with disabilities! Where would we be if they were smothered as children or eliminated like Singer says? I’m not going to argue my points on this one because the right answer is crystal clear. Sympathy killing, assisted suicide, and abortion is wrong. It’s murder. Until we get back on track morally in this country we will continue down the path of darkness. We will be opening our souls to evil and if that happens we get what we deserve. We must stand and fight against this. To me it’s a no-brainer! Come on people it’s time to make this issue viral even more than it already is. Expose these sick twisted progressive s.o.b.s for what they are! Evil at heart…pure evil at heart.

Where is the American youth?

The November elections are coming faster and faster and it is our responsibility as caretakers of the Republic is to cast our votes. Those votes need to be made responsibly to assure that we put into office the right individuals that will honor and defend the Constitution as well as keep the best interests of America in the front. With the formation of the TEA party movement and such organizations like the 9.12 groups, Freedomworks, etc. we have seen a greater conservative voter turn out so far. We must keep this up. However the answer isn’t the Conservative voter turn out…the answer is education and promotion.

Here are some disturbing facts. In 1972 over 60% of those in America over the age of 65 were exercising their right to vote. 50% of Americans und the age of 25 were voting. In 2000 almost 70% of those over 65 were voting while barely above 30% of those under 25 were making it to the ballot box. The numbers have increased slightly over the past 9 years for those under 25, but the poll shows a disturbing picture. From 1972 we have seen a steady decline in younger Americans not exercising their right to vote. As far as keeping up to date with politics and political knowledge in 1964 almost 70% of Americans between 18 and 29 years of age had a good understanding when quizzed about current political issues and individuals. In the year 2000 when the same type of test was done again only 30% of Americans 18-29 had a basic understanding. Here is one more set of disturbing facts…in 1966 about 60% of college students said that they try to keep up-to-date on current political affairs and in 2003 only 34% showed an interest in keeping in tune with the political issues of America. This my friends pose a significant danger in the future of the Republic. After all I believe that it was Whitney Houston that sang the song that the children were our future. That saying and song is true…the children of today are the ones that will be fighting the fight tomorrow. The time has come for us to awaken the youth of America not just on the fact that politics ARE important and are directly linked to our everyday lives, but they need to be exposed to the true meaning of the Great Experiment and our country’s true history.

Now yes I know that if those polls were taken again today we would see an increase in those numbers, but that’s not what scares me. In less than 30 years we saw a drop of over 20% of those under 25 exercising their right to vote. That is a huge change in the number for the worst. It should have never reached that point. You cannot pick out one thing to blame, but if you had to single something out to take most of it I would have to say it’s the progressive machine run media and entertainment here in America. They shifted the focus and implied that politics were boring and unimportant. I suspect that this was done in order to make sure that the socialistic agenda of the progressive movement could be pushed through in the future with minimal resistance. Just a theory or personal opinion of mine, but to me it makes sense. At this point a quote from Thomas Jefferson comes to mind. He once said something along the lines of that there has never been, nor ever will be, a people who are politically ignorant and free. Once again Thomas Jefferson was right.

Now after September 11, 2001 and the events after the election of 2008 more and more Americans are waking up to the importance of getting involved with politics. We have seen more and more young fear that the children are without a doubt being indoctrinated into thinking that the socialistic agenda of the progressives is the way to go here in America. They are being hit at a young age being taught the bare minimum about our Republic and it’s history and traditions. The problem goes on through collage. Many of the most popular schools for a young adult to attend after high school are self proclaimed liberal schools. I recently purchased a text book that one would get in taking political science in collage. I haven’t’ read the whole thing, but so far there is no mention of the fact that America is a republic…as a matter of fact it declares us a democracy. Yes folks there is a big difference. It has class room work activities like role playing on how you can make a difference by being a political advocate on gun control. It also contains a whole chapter of lessons on Social Welfare Policymaking and Social Justice. From what I have read and what I have skimmed over the text book for this collage course is pro-left all the way. Now I ask you are the youth of America being properly educated?

The answer is simple, but takes all of us to get involved. We need to start in our own homes with our own children and then branch out to our communities. We need to wake up the youth on the importance to exercise our right to vote. We need to teach them how to use the well spring of informational sources on the internet and television to become well educated and informed voters. We need to teach them the true history and foundation of our great Republic, because if we don’t all the fighting we are doing now will be pointless because in the end American loses and the socialistic agenda of the progressives will win hands down.

Tea Party Season is upon us…

Now that the holidays are over and work has calmed down it’s time for me to start actively bloging again. Spring is here and the weather is getting nicer and Tax day is almost upon us. Once this day was looked upon by many as a negative day, but since last year it is a day that conservatives look towards as their chance to start their rally season with the second wave of Tea Party protests!
With the recent activity in the drive by media Tea party protests have become the talk of many. Are the people that attend these things really right wing fanatics that have the potential to bring violence and negativity in their wake? Absolutely not! I have personally attended many rallies over the past year and not once have I seen any questionable activity. You must not let the drive by media drive you away from this fantastic opportunity to voice your opinions and exercise your right to freedom of speech. Let’s face it my fellow patriots our government is out of control, they have been for years. They have chipped away at our freedoms and spent us into a hole so deep I seriously doubt we will be able to pull ourselves out of it. Like I said this has been going on for years, but the current administration and congress have been in overdrive this past year making things much much worst. You can not deny the facts and if you do then you are just lying to yourself.
This coming Sunday I will be attending the TEA Party Express III tour as it stops in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the tour you have heard about in the news. I cannot wait since this tour has drawn the attention of many of the news networks as well as the progressives. There have been issues of disturbances following the tour with the now famous egging of the protesters by the progressives. Yes that’s right when you look at all the issues of aggressive behavior at these rallies with alittle digging you will find the disturbances originate around the left. That is their M.O. so to speak. Why are they doing this you may ask…well it is quite simple it is because they are afraid of us. They know that we outnumber them and that in this country majority wins in the end. So the elected officials condemn us by accusing us of threats and violence. The media slams us by calling us the fringe, extremists, and domestic terrorists. In truth we are patriots with a tremendous love for our country. We feel the fire burning deep inside us to protect out nation, our Constitution, and our way of life. We will no longer surrender our ideals and beliefs for the politically correctness that forces us to abandon our morals, traditions, and convictions. We will no longer sit in the comfort of our homes and yell at the televisions in disgust. We will take to the streets and push and push until our voices are heard and if our elected officials don’t start taking us seriously and taking accountability for their actions they will be voted out and replaced by those that will.
In short I am making a plea to each and every one of you. It is easy to find the tme and location of the Tea Parties in your area. I use TeaPartyPatriots.org for my information. Get up out of the house on April 15th. Find a Tea party, call up your friends, get your family involved, fight for your rights…fight for your Republic! You may ask what good is one voice…but when your one voice joins the voices of millions across the nation then you have made a difference.

The Reason I Am Fighting...

The main reason...the driving force on why I am fighting for the Republic, the Constitution, and our freedoms....

My sons Danny (7), Christopher (5), Nikolas (4), and Benjamin (1)

It is their future I am worried about...I want them to live in a world where morals, traditions, honor, respect, hard work, and freedoms are more than just words.
