Thursday I had to privilege of joining 14,000 plus patriots in celebrating our First Amendment rights of free speech and peaceful assembly at FreePAC. If the mainstream media would have reported on the gathering it would have most likely been reported as large gathering of racists, bigots, rednecks and Klan members. I can honestly say [...]
Have you ever jumped into something and then realized that you have just entered a lion’s den and shut the door? That happened to me a little over a decade ago when I married my beautiful wife. Leaving the single life behind and tying the knot isn’t what I’m talking about. The fact that this [...]
From time to time, we all must step back and get away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives and retreat to place to gather our senses. I know ladies who do this by seeking retail therapy sessions and fellows that seek refuge on the lake to bring their lives back to center. [...]
I am blessed and privileged to live in the great state of Texas. Texas is the only place I know where you can see cowboys driving cattle down the street in a large city. (It actually happens in Fort Worth and Dallas and maybe some others as well). The downtown cattle drives are great, but [...]
Rich Mitchell’s series on gun control is sparking memories in me of my mother’s early history. Mom was born on December 21st, 1921 in Blackfoot, Idaho. She didn’t stay in Idaho for long, though. My grandparents packed her up up along with the furniture soon after that blessed event and moved to Ogden, Utah. One [...]

Florida recently took a turn in the right direction in defense of the Second Amendment. State lawmakers passed a law stopping all gun restrictions below the state level. Starting October first, any public official who enforces or passes any gun regulation below the state level will be held personally responsible. The official will face [...]
Have you ever thought about what effect illegal immigrants have on legal immigrants? In the United States most people equate illegal immigrants to Hispanics even though there are people of many cultures and nationalities that cross our borders illegally. Some cross our borders to find employment while others cross to do harm to our great [...]
Most of the jobs and activities I get involved in usually have the capability of leading to bodily injury whether it minor or major injury. Writing is the one area that I thought would be exempt from this phenomenon. Recently, while working late at night I developed a hankering (craving for those not raised in [...]
Recently, we conservatives have been called many things. Some on the left have labeled us as terrorists, extremists, Nazis, rednecks, hobbits, and racists to name just a few. Our gatherings have been referred to as “Klan” meetings. Most of us know that these comments hold no truth and are made by people of ignorance. [...]
The Boy Scouts have a long standing program that has helped to produce many great leaders over its long history – the Eagle Scout. Neil Armstrong, Willie Banks, Rear Admiral Eugene B. Fluckey (WWII Submarine Commander, Medal of Honor recipient), President Gerald Ford (first Eagle to be President), Texas Governor Rick Perry, Sam Walton (Wal-Mart [...]
I remember several years ago while looking to buy a house the realtor kept bring up properties that had HOA’s (Home Owners Association). I told her don’t even worry about pulling the files on the properties. I knew then that it would just cause grief and trouble if someone tried to tell me what I [...]
