Saturday, I joined thousands of “forgotten Americans” on the streets of Washington protesting the runaway spending and the general tone deaf government that a growing percentage of Americans have realized must be reined in – and it can only be done by “We the People”.

My wife Susan joined me, my youngest son Michael, a freshman in college, and about ten friends.  We took our lunch, and stayed most of the day.

The walk up Pennsylvania Avenue, marching with wall to wall patriotic Americans singing and shouting, was an unforgettable lifetime memory.  The sound of cheering, which several times started way behind us and swept up the street and washed over us like thunder in a canyon, was a living force of nature and we felt an electrifying sense of excitement in the moment.

Congress and MSM, can you hear us now?  How about you, President Obama?  No, not yet.  We have more to do, more to endure, more to sacrifice, more to accomplish. Read More…

Dear friends:

I offer a question for the 4th of July:

What is needed to create and sustain a Free Society*, in which the rights of citizens are protected and each person has the opportunity to reach his or her individual potential?

[The following is adapted with great admiration and appreciation from Os Guinness and a speech entitled:“The Cost of Forgetting the Framers' Foundational Conviction" ]

In a shocking, ever further drift of liberal Christianity to accomodate Islamic fundamentalism, the Archbishop of Canterbury opened the door to accepting Sharia law as an alternative to British law in certain jurisdictions. Sharia is the Islamic religious law that operates in many Muslim countries around the world, including Libya and Sudan. Egypt's constitution also defines sharia as the source of its law. Some nations also have secular codes that operate alongside, but mostly subservient to, sharia.

Ramadhan Foundation chief Mohammed Shafiq welcomed the comments, advocating for such attempts "by both our great faiths to build respect and tolerance."

A terror plot was uncovered in which three Islamic radicals were planning an “assassination” of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist behind the drawing. Although we sometimes criticize Europe for being less than robust in its defense of freedom, these newspapers deserve our respect and admiration. 

"We are doing this … to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper always will defend,"

Berlingske Tidende, was one of the newspapers involved in the republication by newspapers in Denmark. It said: "We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper always will defend," in comments reported by The Associated Press.Newspapers in Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands also republished the drawing Wednesday as part of their coverage of Tuesday's arrests.

The strongest enforcement law in the country requiring business to not hire illegal immigrants was upheld! 

The judge, said that the law does not overstep the federal government's authority to regulate immigration. Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed the lawsuit in December.

Those of us advocating a border fence have our hands full.  Mayors of border towns and cities traveled to Washington D.C. (Jan. 17) to express their united and resolute opposition to a wall or fence along the Texas-Mexico border. Their message – “Don’t do it!” – targeted elected representatives and Bush administration officials, including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

As-Sabiqun is an Islamic movement that believes in the Islamic State of North America no later than 2050. Those who engage in this great effort require a high level of commitment and determination. We are sending out a call to the believers: Join with us in this great struggle to change the world!

In another victory for Citizen Power, New York Governor, Elliot Spitzer,has abandoned plans to provide driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

A poem to remind us of what creates and maintains our freedom: 

It is the veteran, not the preacher, who has given you freedom of religion.
It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given you freedom of the
press.
It is the veteran, not the poet, who has given you freedom of speech.
It is the veteran, not the protester, who has given you freedom to
assemble.
It is the veteran, not the lawyer, who has given you the right to a fair
trial.
It is the veteran, not the politician, who has given you the right to vote.
It is the veteran, who salutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag, whose
coffin is draped by the Flag.

God bless our Veterans!
