Thank You and Merry Christmas!

On behalf of the Rock River Patriots, I want to thank you for all you have done this past year.  It has been very “eventful” to say the least.   As we look ahead to the upcoming year, we see there is much to be done.  It is an opportunity to keep Wisconsin on the right track.  Pray for our leaders and our state. However, with all that needs to be done, it is easy to forget about the “true meaning” of Christmas.  Why is it so important in the first place?  We continually hear the cliche that “the true meaning of Christmas is about giving.”  Yes, it is the season to be giving, but there is more to the story.  The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of God’s gift to mankind.  God sent his son, Jesus Christ to provide a means of salvation to a fallen people. Only by accepting God’s free gift of Jesus Christ, can we truly be free.  I encourage you all to take the time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and thank God for His gift this Christmas season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5pkIixri04]

From Pat Buchanan’s Blog: Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul

Here is some very interesting analysis about entangling alliances by Pat Buchanan…and contains information about two of the neocons running for president. Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul By Patrick J. Buchanan In August 2008, as the world’s leaders gathered in Beijing for the Olympic games, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, hot-headed and erratic, made his gamble for greatness. It began with a stunning artillery barrage on Tskhinvali, capital of tiny South Ossetia, a province that had broken free of Tbilisi when Tbilisi broke free of Russia. As Ossetians and Russian peacekeepers fell under the Georgian guns, terrified Ossetians fled into Russia. Saakashvili’s blitzkrieg appeared to have triumphed. Until, that is, Russian armor, on Vladimir Putin’s orders, came thundering down the Roki Tunnel into Ossetia, sending Saakashvili’s army reeling. The Georgians were driven out of Ossetia and expelled from a second province that had broken free of Tbilisi: Abkhazia. The Russians then proceeded to bomb Tbilisi, capture Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, and bomb Georgian airfields rumored to be the forward bases for the Israelis in any pre-emptive strike on Iran. The humiliation of Saakashvili was total, and brought an enraged and frustrated John McCain running to the microphones. “Today, we’re all…

From The 10th Amendment Center – “Aborting Guns?”

Below is a very good article on State vs. Federal power.  This applies to so many issues that are happening today and speaks to why we have an out-of-control federal government.  This is also due, in part, to the national media.  There is a vested interest by the national news media in having a strong central government.  Not only does this increase the “importance” of their coverage, but also allows for easier coverage.  Most of the media focus only needs to be spent in one place, Washington D.C, instead of the coverage being spread throughout the 50 State Capitals of our nation. The Framers set up our constitutional republic as a system having the power “decentralized”.  Many of the most contentious issues like abortion, I believe, will never be solved on a national level.  To truly solve these issues the States need to re-assert their sovereignty. Pro-Life advocates, for example, have a much better chance to stop abortion on a State level.  As the article points out, if a person doesn’t like how their respective State is handling this issue, they can work to change it and/or “vote with their feet” to another State with whose laws they agree with….

Wisconsin’s Road To Obamacare Compliance – RETURN THE EARLY INNOVATOR GRANT MONEY!!!

From the WI 9/12 Project Website…Great Job Kirsten! Tell Governor Walker It’s Time to Sever the Early Innovator Grant Agreement Written by Kirsten Tuesday, 13 December 2011 13:38 Members of the Wisconsin 9/12 Project were pleased to see on November 30th that Governor Walker had listened to informed citizens and ordered the rescission of Emergency Rule 1117. The rule brought the state into compliance with provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka Obamacare). While we’re still watching the situation carefully and awaiting the actual rescission, we thank and applaud Governor Walker for making an excellent first step in truly protecting the State of Wisconsin and its citizens against egregious federal overreach and beginning to restore greater integrity to the 26-state lawsuit challenging Obamacare’s constitutionality. However, the battle to protect Wisconsin in the healthcare arena is not yet over. Wisconsin has still not returned $49 million in federal Obamacare grant funds that it accepted in February. We know that $38 million of the total was an Early Innovator Grant (EIG), provided for the express purpose of building a PPACA-compliant healthcare exchange. According to the Office of the Governor, the remaining $11 million was intended for upgrades to…

The Current Bailout Totals

This is the amount of money that the Federal Reserve has doled out to the major global banks from 2007 through 2010. Over 16 trillion! Trillion! Dollars……strike that, I mean Federal Reserve Notes. There was no vote, no public debate, simply a private corporation printing money the American taxpayer will be held accountable for, and handing it out to their global banking cartel friends. The global banking cartel now lends out that money to countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, etc. and creates a massive sovereign debt issue in those countries. Bottom line, those governments and countries are now beholden to the central banks. They are bought and paid for. Now add the passage of the new law that allows the POTUS to declare any American he wants as a terrorist or enemy of the state and that person will now be arrested by the MILITARY, incarcerated by the MILITARY, and can be held indefinitely without trial, representation, or due process. Every single libertarian-independent Tea Party and every single Occupy protester, organizer, leader had better pay attention to this, because both of our groups are about to be taken out along with any other potential voice of dissent. Here is the list…

Senator Rand Paul On The Indefinate Detention Of American Citizens In The Defense Authorization Bill

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjVgWNzQnk] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaTxjxnYfE] U.S. Senate Votes for Indefinite, Unconstitutional Detention All the Senators who voted for this legislation are traitors to the Constitution and the people they represent.  Wisconsin residents should be very upset to know Senator Ron Johnson voted for this bill.  Call your representatives in the House and tell them to vote against this bill.
