So I was recently asked why I believe so wholeheartedly in America.   At the time I mustered a fairly coherent reply that sounded like something you would here from a fox new contributor.   Since then, I find myself still pondering this question, and each time I reflect on my answer, I elaborate a bit more upon it.   Today I’m going to reflect on this question once more, and then I’ll move on.   America was founded on principles that our founding fathers felt to be so important to the success and happiness of the people that everything they did from the signing of Declaration of Independence forward was guided by them.   These principles were not based in exclusion.   The only regulations that were imposed by the government at that time were on the government.   They knew full well that a government left unchecked, was a crisis waiting to happen.   The people ran the government back then.   What we have today is nothing like what was ...

Freedom isn’t free! Commonly we here this when we discuss the heavy costs incurred by our soldiers serving our country and their respective families. The cost of freedom however extends far beyond this in the grand scheme though.   Each and every one of us as citizens pays a cost for freedom.   We give up safety, we give up stability, we give up ease of life for freedom.   Over the course of this nations existence people have been trading freedom for things like security.   How really though does the currency transfer over.   Freedom is no different than money, we have a finite amount of it and at some point the bank of liberty will run dry.   Using freedom as currency is a major problem.   I don’t believe when our founding fathers discussed taxation without representation, that they were talking about money.   The reality is that back in 1776, money was not what it is today.   Many people got their day to day needs by using trade and bar...

America is at odds with itself.... Today we can all look around and identify about a million things that we either disagree with completely or at least in part. This is mostly due to the mostly new level of connectivity we have with the outside world. Until roughly 25 years ago the world was largely segregated from itself. We lived in small tight knit communities where everyone knew everyone else. This was true even in large cities. It wasn’t uncommon for neighborhood kids to get together every day and play. Parents knew all the other parents in the area and there was always someone looking out for you and your family. Today however things are drastically different. Next door neighbors don’t know each other, much less entire neighborhoods. Cars, planes, and trains are used for more than just vacations. People have moved farther away from their jobs, and we have placed technological connection at a higher value than interpersonal interactions. It pains me to see childre...

Gun confiscation in perspective. Okay so with all the talk going around of gun confiscation I thought it would be good to put everything into perspective and just break it down by the numbers.   Since numbers don’t have emotion, I felt this would be the best way to look at things.   Both side of this argument are very passionate about their beliefs, but just how realistic is gun confiscation. According to the United States census bureau in 2017 America had a population of 325.7 million people. According to a PEW research trust article in June of 2017 30% of Americans own guns.   Of those 66% of gun owners have more than one gun.   Additionally, 36% of the remaining population said that they would consider owning guns.   And 72% of Americans say they have fired a gun. Using these percentages with the population we get the following. ·          97,710,000 gun owners in America o    Assuming those...

Okay, so I have been looking into a few different things that have been bugging me.   On March 5 th 2018, not 30 minutes from my house some yahoo blew himself up making bombs in his apartment building.   The explosion took place during the daylight thankfully and he was the only one killed.   After police arrived on scene they determined that the materials still present were too dangerous to move the body or attempt to clean them up so they instead detonated the remainder of the materials, and now are going to demolish the rest of the building.   They have to this point still not identified publicly the individual responsible for this explosion.   Now this seems simple enough, some lunatic making bombs killed himself, but what was he using to make the bombs? Why did the bomb squad have to destroy more of the scene to contain it?   Why have they not identified this person? And how have they already said he had no know terrorist links? This happened just...

We have all heard it before, I am just waiting for them to cross that line.  But really, what line? I suppose at some point there will actually be a civil war and that will be the jump off point.  Until then though what has happened. Since about 1958 Hollywood has slowly began to use its influence to persuade me that being masculine is bad. It’s evil. I’ve said before the first noticed attack on the masculinity of our nation was in Rebel without a Cause. The affectionate father never did answer what is to be a man. From this point forward a slow erosion of morals and masculinity has removed the men from our nation. We now have a nation of children raised by women who don’t even know what gender they are. This stage has been completed by the enemy. There can be no men to stand fast if there are no men. We say well there is still ya, but now they just continue to force division and take us toward a brink that will not come in our time. Think of the story of the boiling frog, w...

Collaboration, cooperation, and Teamwork Why wolves are the perfect model for the threepercenters! Article by: Taurarious  02/08/2018     As most people know the wolf pack truly is an amazing thing. From the Alpha all the way down to the pups, everyone knows their place. This is never more evident than on the hunt. A successful wolf pack has been known to take down animals more than 4 times the size of the largest wolf. This isn’t because the wolves are better equipped than their prey. After all they have only been given four paws and a jaw to work with. What the wolves lack in size, power, and weapons they more than make up for with their collaboration and intelligence. Wolves truly work together to take down their prey, and they do it without any verbal ques. Every member of the pack simply knows what the others will do and what is expected of them.     From the early age of a wolf they are incorporated into the hunt as simple observers. The younger wol...
