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. As we look ahead to the upcoming year, we see there is much to be done. It is an opportunity to truly change Wisconsin for the better. This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact and return our state to something great. However, with all that needs to be done, it is easy to forget why Christmas is 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. Finally, the deadline for submitting papers / signatures to be a candidate in the upcoming spring election is…

Senate Bill 510 – Tell Them To Vote NO!

From Wisconsin Capitol Watch… Senator Harry Reid has forced a vote on Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Act. The vote invoked cloture, which limited debate to 30 hours total. Twenty four Republicans voted with Reid. All Reid needed was three-fifths (60 votes), but 24 Republicans already forgot how Americans voted November 2 and sided with liberal Reid. S 510 is a step toward increasing the size and cost of government at the expense of American farmers-big and small. The so-called Food Safety Act empowers the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate every part of every farming operation in the nation. The cost of compliance and record keeping to farmers cannot even be estimated. Even the farm wife who sells jam, preserves and apple butter at a Christmas bizarre will have to be permitted by the FDA. The cost to the government-all tax payers-will be $1.6 billion over the next five years, according to Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK). It also requires that a minimum of 4,000 staff members be added in 2011 and 5,000 by 2015 to implement the Act. So much for the call to reduce the federal government workforce. S 510 greatly expands federal government’s jurisdiction over…

9/11 Commission – A Whitewash?

No matter what position you take on the 9/11 attacks, this is further proof that “big government” does not work. Was 9/11 Commission a Whitewash? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUiBOGOs2Nc]

Freedom Of Speech, “The Religion Of Peace”, And The Ground Zero Mosque

Interesting how there are no threats from Christians worldwide when the Iranian Government confiscates and burns Bibles.  However, riots erupt when a cartoon depicting Mohammad is published or there is a threat of widespread violence at even the talk of burning a Koran. Here is the link: Hundreds of Bibles Have Been Burned By The Iranian Government Security Forces Here is an ad by New York Congressional Candidate Republican Renee Ellmers about the Ground Zero Mosque controversy.  It is nice to actually hear a candidate who is not afraid to speak the truth about this issue and cite historical facts to back up her position.

Quotes From James Madison

The following are a few quotes from James Madison that are timeless.  The progressives often say the authors of the Constitution couldn’t possibly have imagined how things would be today.  They try to tell you the Constitution is “a living, breathing document.”  These quotes show just how much knowledge and insight our Founding Fathers had. “Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.” “Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations.” “I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” “It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.” “No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” “Of all the enemies of…

Pastors Taken To Task For Political Apathy

Even though he was very wrong in signing the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, our 2nd President, John Adams, was right when he stated: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Many have asked where the nations pastors are in the fight to take back our country.  The Black Robe Regiment was instrumental in the American Revolution.  So where have the pastors been that our country has gotten in the shape it is in?  Where are they now when they are needed most?  Here is a great article by World Net Daily about this very issue:  Pastors taken to task for political apathy Remember Pastor Martin Niemoller’s verse about the dangers of political apathy?  Niemoller, writing about the apathy that allowed the Nazis  to victimize group after group, put it in very simple terms: They came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then…
