Stand Tall for America and Her Virtues




With the growing influence of the socialist/satist government  currently in power in the US, and the move towards redistribution of wealth, and increased government control over the lives of all Americans,  the  virtues of fierce individualism, limited government, competitive capitalism, and self reliance, will soon be forgotten.  Correction, not forgotten, but I believe the majority of our people will, fearing the loss of the meager scraps of freedoms left them by the socialist/statist will not resist, believing it the best way to preserve whatever scraps of freedom may be left for them. 

We are witnessing what many who studied history, political science, and philosophy with an objective eye knew to be true, the above virtues, and the proper understanding of them clearly matters.  Without an understanding of these virtues humans are destined to repeat mistakes of the past.  Ayn Rand, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell, (Nikita Khrushchev predicted the USA would fall to socialism without a shot being fired), and many others understood if the people of this great nation did not open their eyes and recognize what could happen we would lose the very Republic we cherish.

Today, as this is being written, it seems the majority hasn’t been paying attention to what is happening.  Maybe we were but merely though “it can’t happen in America.”  Well, it is happening slowly but surely.  With the current President, and his administration focused on reshaping the United States of America into a radical socialist state, (note; Nationalization of General Motors, Universal Health Care, Cap and Trade, Increased use of Czars, a One World Order mentality, just to name a few), all who love liberty and individualism need to act now and do all they can within the framework of our laws to stop the onslaught on traditional American virtues.  Virtues that are responsible for the great successes of our people and nation.

The state motto of New Hampshire proclaims, “Live Free or Die”, I for one shall stand tall for the virtues that brought this nation into existence.  I hope there are millions upon millions of other likeminded Americas ready to stand tall.  For if there are, and I believe it so,  our children, grandchildren and great grand children will remain free from oppressive government and its regulatory tentacles.

    and the value of those virtues need to be pounded into the heads of our youth also. there, imho, is the key.

    Agreed. And since the school system and the government media complex are part of the problem I guess that leave parents.

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year.  This posting f

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar

From the Tea-Publican Right...

Image
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Seen today on a rightwing tea-publican weblog. When "their side" has nothing of substance to offer, and they known it, posters such as the one below become popular. Such posters are considered intellectual by the teabag folks on the right. To be balanced such posters do find their way onto left-wing weblogs. The difference? Posters on left-wing sights generally carry a valid message and the commentary factually supports the message of the post. Some random commentary from the tea-publican weblog follows. They adequately explain the reason for the poster at the top of the main page. The Debonair Dudes World October 26, 2015 at 6:46 AM I think that most Americans, be them Democrats, liberals, conservatives and or independents alike have had more than enough of President Obama’s No Strategy, No Plan, No Idea of what he is doing nor what he should be doing... .

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

Artur Davis Calls Biden Remarks 'Racial Visiousness'...

 by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Artur Davis, articulate, intelligent, honest, and spot on in his criticism of both Vice President Joe (Dufus) Biden and President Obama. ( CNN ) - Artur Davis, the former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama, said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden was propagating "racial viciousness" when he said Mitt Romney's regulatory policies would "put y'all back in chains." Biden made the comments Tuesday to a predominantly black crowd in Danville, Virginia, a city with a long history of racial tension. In May Davis announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican. Skip Davis, who is black, said the comment smacked of a type of divisiveness he said was all too common in the South. "It brought back memories for me," Davis told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." "It brought back memories of th

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli

Spoken Like a True Dyed In the Blue Statist...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Ever hear of or read Mother Jones ? Well I just did, and as near as I can figure she must be Woodrow Wilson's or Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Mother. I say this because she sure as hell is pro statist and pumped up for growing the government bureaucracy. The article is short so it is being reproduced here in full. This site appreciates Mother Jones candor in expressing the statist credo and the desire on the part of the left for an ever larger and more intrusive presence in our daily affairs and lives. January's job numbers were fairly dismal, but the bad cheer wasn't equally spread. Private sector employment, as usual, increased—by 142,000 jobs last month. At the same time, public sector employment declined. Government employment at all levels was down 29,000 in January. Aside from the brief census blip in early 2010, this has been the usual state of affairs for the past four years, ever since the rece
