The Famished Patriot

Some of you know of my involvement with the Manassas Tea Party. All of you have no doubt heard about the IRS’s intimidation tactics against the Tea Parties and other Constitution-supporting, patriotic groups. What you may not know is that our local Manassas Tea Party organization (MTP) was involved in the ACLJ lawsuit. Since February […]

Over the years I have built a fairly sizable library of materials related to our nation’s Christian founding and our rich heritage. Several folks have asked me to publish some reading recommendations. I’ll start with these few and build a “library” of recommendations as the weeks unfold. All of the books on this list are […]

The U.S Constitution needs a new set of apologists. No … wait … I am not suggesting that we apologize FOR the Constitution. Quite the contrary. An apologist, you see, is a defender, one who argues in support of a belief system. The term is most commonly used in the field of Christian theology, with […]

We 21st century American Christians are, on the whole, woefully ill-equipped when it comes to understanding things like inalienable/unalienable rights.

I have decided to post a new blog to continue the ongoing conversation on the so-called “myth” of “inalienable” rights—and hopefully bring a few more folks into the discussion.

For the third time in four months, I had the privilege of attending a gathering where Bishop E.W. Jackson took the podium. He’s a gifted, visionary prophet for our generation, and he fires me up every time I hear him speak. The event was a December 6th luncheon in Landsdowne, (Loudoun Co.) VA, a quarterly […]

I had the privilege of hearing Virginia’s Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, speak at a pastor’s luncheon on Wednesday, September 5th in Landsdowne, VA. I found great inspiration in his words and in this brief blog post, I will do my best to recap his message for you. Mr. Cuccinelli spoke for about forty-five minutes, focusing […]
