The Famished Patriot

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I began this series of blog posts with a look at our two presidential candidates. I did not name them. We all know who they are. In examining WHO the Christian should choose, I took the approach, more or less, of comparing their Christian credentials. I did this because, faith-wise, both candidates present a dilemma […]

The First American Experiment in small r republican self-government is dead. Our Constitution is shredded. Justice Roberts’ convoluted, confusing, and incomprehensible ruling represents what I believe to be the proverbial nails in our Constitution’s coffin. His ruling clearly demonstrates just how much wisdom and common sense have been cast to the curb for political power […]

Normally I do not post politically related things on The Famished Patriot blog. I think I have done a fairly decent job of keeping my posts and themes focused on larger, more cerebral topics. I try my best to steer clear of emotionally-charged, politically-laced messages. But something is happening right now in the political arena […]

Many of us Tea Party conservative types have complained about the sad field of candidates the Republican Party has, once again, fielded. I am not going to do the typical litany here, the one where I list the candidates and explain why they’re not good enough. Actually, I am going to challenge you to do […]

You’ve seen them. And maybe you know some. They are the busy patriots. I love them. They are everywhere. They show up at the offices of elected officials, ready to dialog or push an agenda. They possess a tenacity that would make most of us blush. You will see them on buses, heading south to […]

Do you recall the surge of national pride immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Patriotism ran high, and everywhere we looked, flags unfurled. Dotting our yards, flying above our car windows, and draping down from our highway bridges, Old Glory’s image painted a colorful reminder that we Americans stood as one, united against terrorism.
