Revolution calling… Got no love for politicians, all that crazy scene in DC, it’s just a power-man town…. I used to trust the media to tell us the truth, tell us the truth. But now I see the payoffs, every where I look… Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook? (read: […]

About 15 years ago, I read the book 7 Men Who Rule The World From The Grave, by Dave Reese. It was one of those books that really stuck with me, but I hadn’t read it since. I finally bought a copy this fall, and read it again this week.

An excerpt from Austin Hill’s 9/06/09 column:
Those of us who know, respect, and care about the unique history of this country, understand what makes America unique. In no small part, we are distinct within the broader context of world history, because there are no kings or queens in the United States; our President is one […]

Tonight, as I watch different YouTube clips of “Saving Private Ryan” for the Umpteenth time it dawned me that I really regret not speaking with my great uncle about his service in WWII…

On my drive back from GA today I felt like I got “schooled by the Holy Spirit” (again). Good for Him… painful for me. Potentially, more mental/spiritual adjustments for me to make —
