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!

One Nation Under Slobs…

They said they would out number the conservatives that gathered around the Lincoln Memorial on 8/28 for Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally. They said that we were One Nation united together. They said they would make an impression. Well at least they made an impression. The impression I walked away with after watching the footage, seeing the photos, and reading the articles is that they are a bunch of disrespecting slobs that have one agenda for one nation…a socialistic/communistic agenda. It took me awhile to write this because I wanted to make clear points of my opinions on the rally, but I could not right away because I was filled with anger. I am angry at so many on so many different levels. First let’s tackle the mainstream media.

I would like to say I’m shocked and surprised about the bias media coverage by the progressive media machine, alas I am not. They were quick to report large numbers for this rally when in the past they grossly under reported the number of people in Washington DC for the 8/29 rally and the various TEA parties and marches that have happened over these past couple of years. I even saw a station take “stock” footage from the 8/28 rally of the crowds there and claim they were at the One Nation rally. If I was in those shots I would start screaming slander by purposely misrepresenting me at a rally I totally oppose. Second was the lack of shots from the socialists and communists marching that day in Washington on 10/2. Verified photos are all over the internet showing their flags, signs, banners, tables, and more all over that rally! This is sickening! It is the media’s job to be unbiased and to report facts not doctor up the facts to paint a rosy picture! I know the truth with the mainstream media, but it still doesn’t stop me from getting really upset at them from time to time. The fact of the matter is this…there are ignorant Americans out there, I know a few, that watch idiots on CNN and MSNBC and think they are getting the whole truth. It is blatantly irresponsible for them to do bias reporting. I know it’s a fact of life that they do, but I’m not going to just shake my head at it. It’s time they do their job the way they are supposed to!

The second thing I am upset with, but again I’m not surprised at, is the fact that those speaking at the One Nation rally purposely used key phrases and examples that the TEA parties and the conservatives have been using all along. The difference they twisted things to fit in their progressive socialistic agendas. I heard several speakers make reference to uniting as Americans again. To return to our fundamental roots…the problem there is the fundamental roots they were talking about were not the roots of America, but the roots of the socialistic progressive movement that has been going on here I America since 1872!

The most blood boiling thing however were their lack of respect. They trashed Washington and more importantly they trashed and disrespected the WWII memorial! I’ve been to several rallies in Washington with huge crowds and I’ve never seen garbage on the ground or littered all over the various memorials in Washington…NEVER! Full garbage cans yes and maybe alittle garbage falling out of the full garbage cans, but never in my life have I seen such a mess like the one I saw in the photos of the progressive rally aftermath. My main argument is this. Memorials are like cemeteries…they are built to remember the sacrifices that are made. They are there to honor the dead. In the case of the WWII memorial it is hallowed ground to say the least. It is there to remember the grand sacrifices our men and women made during that but necessary war. To litter it with trash is a slap in the face to the families of those that memorial represents. I would like to ask those progressive liberal idiots at the rally that left their garbage everywhere how they would like me going to the cemetery where their loved ones are and stomping, spitting, and trashing the graves of their loved ones? I would like to think they would be pissed, but something tells me they wouldn’t care because they are too self absorbed with themselves to care about something like that. You should be ashamed of yourselves people for doing what you did. You want to gather and push your communistic/socialistic agendas for America that’s fine. I know the truth will shoot you down in the end, but to show the world you are nothing but a bunch of disrespecting slobs well that’s unforgivable. I do have to thank you guys and gals though…at least once again you helped we the conservatives prove our points about you!

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.

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.
