Plato once wrote, “The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.” In the context of our republic, I see that as a responsibility to participate, agitate and above all, educate. A poor choice can be disastrous, an informed choice at least shows you can learn from previous… Continue reading A Responsibility to Govern

Our Mandated Health Care – What the Hell did I just pay for?!
Every month I receive a statement from my health insurance, which I ordered up through the marketplace, www.healthcare.gov. It’s a frustrating experience. Before I tell you why, let me give you a bit of a rundown on my personal situation. I have a family of five and Uncle Sam said we must have insurance, so… Continue reading Our Mandated Health Care – What the Hell did I just pay for?!
“Free Stuff”
Originally posted February 25th, 2019 We’re going to be seeing a lot more talk about Socialism now that Bernie is running again. You’re probably going to see a lot posts about people, especially Millennials, demanding “free” stuff. I’d like a minute to talk about that, if you’re game. Well, probably a few minutes, I’m a… Continue reading “Free Stuff”
Trump’s Tax Returns

I did not expect her response. ***Please keep in mind, while you read my summation below, that… Continue reading Perspective from the front lines
Monuments to a better future
I previously touched on erasing our past in my letter to my liberal friends. I’d like to expand on that concept a bit, kind of explain where more of that came from. In addition to erasing people from the past, or changing their roles, we’ve been on a kick to tear down old monuments. Naturally… Continue reading Monuments to a better future
President Trump’s Legacy
My good friend Dave and I were talking the other day and President Trump’s impact on the US came up. What has he really achieved or accomplished- good or bad? What is his actual impact on the world as El Presidente? This is a fun back and forth for me because Dave and I are… Continue reading President Trump’s Legacy

I will also link to my sources as time goes on.* So, regarding my post the other day. The State of the… Continue reading Take me to Church
A Different Kind of Campaign
I have a problem with authority. Many people who know me slightly will have no idea what I mean. Even some of my closer friends and co-workers won’t understand what I mean. You see, it’s not that I have trouble or resistance to following directions, somebody’s lead or being a team player. I can do,… Continue reading A Different Kind of Campaign
