The Famished Patriot

You may have heard the question “Have you (or they) been red pilled?” Many people will remember the Blue Pill / Red Pill conundrum from the film The Matrix. The Red Pill metaphor is being used today to highlight the awakening that many are having as they break free from one paradigm and make steps […]

I posted something on Facebook today that received fairly positive comments. All were positive actually. But some did question my premise that the American seedbed of liberty was planted and cultivated by the colonial church. This is a premise I have long held and I am going to take a few minutes to share a […]

I was searching for some files in my computer this afternoon and stumbled across this piece I penned on 4/23/2010 – nearly six years ago. It still rings very true. With only minor modifications, I submit it for your consideration below. ……….. God is slow to anger. But the murder of over 40 million (now […]

As of today, I have 856 Facebook friends. Of that number, probably 150 or so are folks I have never met in person but became friends with on Facebook through a mutually shared interest, because they are a friend of a friend, or a high school classmate which time and geography has long kept us […]

In answering, I will be comparing the response from two Worldview perspectives: 1. The Judeo-Christian Worldview 2. The Statist Worldview If you missed the first question, “How […]

No doubt you have heard that the IRS has recently admitted to targeting certain public advocacy groups. Using trigger words and phrases like “patriot” or “Tea Party,” some “low-level” IRS employees (ahem) took it upon themselves to single out applications for 501(c)3 status from recently-formed organizations created to defend our Constitution and traditional, historic, American […]

Like most of my friends, I have long held Ronald Reagan in high esteem. It is hard to imagine that his last day in office as our president happened almost twenty-five years ago. I remember the hopeful feelings I had when he first was elected to office in 1980 almost thirty-three years ago. We had […]

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 […]
