The only cure for politicians is Chemotherapy

Although I have written and spoken about this quite a bit I have been trying to write another article on the abolishing of income tax and the benefits it will generate to not only the American worker but to American companies and eventually free societies everywhere as the individual has more monetary choice and financial freedom.

Not to mention it will be the only way the debt will be paid without war and/or a currency crisis.

With that said this current crop of politicians, and one spouse, continue to require I deal with their absurdity on a weekly basis.

It’s as though they cannot help themselves.

Of course this is impossible as we know they do nothing but help themselves.

For example…

Michelle Obama’s “all this for a flag” statement is a troubling collection of words.  Yes Michelle, you are free because of the men and women who fought, lived, and died in protection and defense of “that flag”.

Furthermore some of those men and women who died looked a lot like your “son”…if you had one.

Nancy Pelosi’s comment that Hamas is a humanitarian organization is a stunning admission of either complete insanity or pure evil.

Hamas ( a terrorist organization and the elected government of the “Palestinian Authority”) believes in Islamic Sharia Law.  Sharia Law treats women as property and homosexuals as people to be removed from the planet…permanently.

So Democratic voters, who are WOMEN and/or homosexual, you are voting for someone who calls misogyny, bigotry, and murder “humanitarian”.

Are you starting to understand why Democratic cities and States are struggling so much?

No?  Okay.  Let me continue.

Maxine Waters (California congresswoman) actually made a speech where she stated Sharia Law and the United States Constitution are compatible.

Not only is this completely false but it is also treasonous for a sitting U.S. Representative to, even in theory, attempt to replace the laws of our land with anything else.

That she chose Islamic “Law” as a compatible engine only shows her lack of Constitutional Law…or her depth of hatred for women, homosexuals, Jews, and anything American.

By supporting the Democratic Party, in anyway, you are supporting Maxine Waters.

More?

Okay…

How about Missouri Democratic State Senator Jamilah Nasheed?  According to reports, this collection of intelligence and morality proclaimed cutting welfare payments to her constituency would drive them to prostitution and crime (prostitution is considered a crime Jamilah) in order to provide for their families.

According to Senator Nasheed if the tax payers of Missouri don’t give money to the people whom elected her then a mad dash to the corner is about to take place?

“Heyyyy baby… you so fine…you be looking to partay?”

or…

Looting and stealing from the local neighborhood businesses is going to what…get worse?

Hey Jamilah have you not heard of places like Compton, Watts, Ferguson, or Baltimore?  The looting and stealing is ALREADY taking place!

If Jamilah is right, for the sake of the good people in Missouri, welfare should be cut off immediately.

Look what decades of free money has created.  People who now cannot do anything except pimp, pander, and loot if that money is removed…according to the State Senator.

What a breath of fresh air she must be when she returns home to the voters.  I can only imagine her opening statement.

“People…I have good news and bad news…the bad news first.  The racist State of Missouri is cutting your welfare.  What’s that?  Are they cutting mine too?  Of course not you silly peasants.  I get paid in real money!  I get paid to look out for you!  Why is that?  Because you elected me!  Hold on, hold on.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is you now have every reason to loot, steal, maim, sell drugs, or your bodies.

Why is that?

Because I said so besides what else you gonna do?  State Senator is taken.”

If Missouri was smart they’d cut off the welfare and give the cops a raise.

Still not enough?

Boy, Democrats what is it going it take?

Self proclaimed Democratic Socialist (even the communists know socialism doesn’t work)  United States Senator Bernie Sanders stated “America should look more like Scandinavian countries”.

Scandinavian countries are listed as Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Hmmm… a slip of the tongue here?

America should “look” more like Scandinavian countries?

Hey Colonel, you understand these countries are overwhelmingly Caucasian right?

This means they “look” like they have white skin.

Anyone home Senator?

It appears Mr. Sanders is playing the lead role in a “Weekend at Bernie’s”.

Come on Democrats!

Get your message together.

Bernie wants to “look” like Denmark while the Congressional Black Caucus is ranting about White Privilege and “Hands up, don’t shoot” even though all of this is an overt lie…and they know it.

Throw in a splash of crazy uncle Joe Biden “put y’all back in chains”, add a smidgen of the Baltimore mayor’s “create space for room to destroy”, and a dash of Illinois Congressman Luis Guitierrez calling for the “militancy” of illegals against American citizens and there you have it.

Democracy in full bloom.

Or as we responsible Americans call it…the J.V. Team.

Oh but wait…we have more.

We also have politicians who call themselves Republicans, but believe in practice and theory, that we are a Democracy.

I cannot count how many times (well I can but what is the point?  The number continues to grow) I have heard Republican politicians proclaim “America is a democracy”.

Well then…why do you call yourselves Republicans?

At a bare minimum any Republican politician should at least know we are not a democracy.

Say it with me you Karl Rovian clowns.

I pledge allegiance to the flag (that’s for you Michelle) of the United States of America (not Denmark Bernie) and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.

Did you get that Reince Priebus?

And to the REPUBLIC!

The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic.  The word Democracy isn’t even found in the Constitution…ever!

Let’s clear up the madness.

We have two political parties…currently.

We have the J.V. team (Barack’s Democratic Donkeys) …and the guys who can’t beat the J.V. team (Rhino’s Republican collection of Elephant dung).

Fact:  They both lie.

Fact:  They both love debt.

One tries to sell us as a “fact of the matter” (will someone please tell all these talking heads on television it is a “matter of fact”) that America is racist, bigoted, homophobic, stupid, narcissistic, and racist again.

Debt is good, raising taxes is definitely needed, and if you are white, or depending on their current agenda, male, you are the devil incarnate.

All women are oppressed unless they don’t vote the appropriate way.  If they don’t vote the appropriate way they are still oppressed but too stupid to know it.

Anyone with black or brown skin has no chance in America and needs government funds to even survive.

Anyone with black or brown skin who disagrees with that is an Uncle Tom, or a “pendejo” who doesn’t deserve to be here.

Then we have the other party.

The party so obtuse they cannot find a way to lead a nation that is so desperate for any semblance of responsible leadership it continues its self immolation, year after year, election after election.

We need a new way.

I am here doing my part.

I will be traveling throughout America soon continuing to do my part but I cannot do this alone.

An avenue must be created so individual Americans can come forward from all over America and put their names on the line to serve as Representatives, Senators, and Presidents.

It’s time to face reality.

The Democratic and Republican Parties are cancerous entities.  They breed corruption, greed, bigotry, racism, and fear.

There will never be enough lipstick for these pigs.

There will never be enough chemotherapy for this kind of malignancy.

We must have truth.  We must restore justice.  We must reclaim America.

One voice at a time.

Your voice.

Right now.

When politicians haven’t any answers…it’s time to stop asking questions.

I was asked recently…”when are you running for President?”

I am not “running” for President.

I am offering to serve America. I will do so with ferocity and humility but trust me when I say there will be no “running” before, during, or after.

America doesn’t “run”.

We ROAR!!!

Do not put me in the same group with all those “running” around “exploring their options” or proclaiming their candidacies and then immediately begging and bragging about how much money they fleeced from American citizens.

“You have a problem…send me your money…I will fix it.”

Sound familiar?

Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative just clamoring for the bucks.

Let’s try it this way:

We have a problem…keep your money…we will fix it together.

How hard is this?  Apparently too much for the infantile behavior of the animal known as politician.

I guess the draw of Prom King or Queen is simply too much to bear.

America has three words for you corrupt wretches.

You disgust us.

A similar question arrived as well.  “When are you going to announce your candidacy for President?”

One radio talk show host even asked me if I’d filed my Federal paperwork to take campaign contributions.

Let me say this again for the hearing impaired.

NO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE REQUESTED OR ACCEPTED.

Were the caps loud enough?

But you cannot win without money Jason.

According to who?

Who you Eeyore?

Who you Obama supporter?

Who you Bush apologist?

Please.

Besides, who said I wasn’t spending money.  I just said I won’t spend money from anyone else.  I am more than willing to spend mine.

It’s my money.

I earned and more importantly saved it.  I will spend it anyway I want in service to the greatest country in the history of man.

For example if you are reading this column in your email it is there because I paid a very talented individual to build our website.  The column comes to you with no charge but of course it cost money to get it there.

It is free though, for you, to forward on to your friends.

If you are reading this on Facebook I paid Facebook to “boost” this and all columns, as well as videos, to spread the message further beyond just our friends and family.  Again there is a cost to me, but none to you, to share the message on your page and thousands of others if you are so inclined.

Sharing is caring:)

What I have discovered is many of you are so inclined.

Because of the American spirit willing to fight and persevere, our message is being spread all over the country.  I’m receiving messages from everywhere in America wanting to be involved, to board the Freedom Train.

While the few grouse “it will never happen”…it is happening…right in front of their very eyes.

Stop blinking and get involved!

Although we are willing to pay the ultimate price for these United States we choose to LIVE!!!

FREE!!!

Live free with us or live somewhere else.

We are fed up with the lies of oppressive governments, and “safe spaces” for criminals to abuse our cities.

Justice is gone.

But make no mistake…a reckoning is coming.

A burgeoning anger, that will not be controlled for too much longer, smolders. We will not sit idly by as politicians and a President tell snarky jokes as our cities burn and crumble with every passing day.

American children are abused by failing schools and neglectful or absent role models whom proclaim that the children aren’t theirs but rather the “communities” to raise or love.

Ah yes, as we’ve heard, it “takes a village”.

Or “your children aren’t yours…they belong to the community.”

Thanks MSNBC for your defining of a child. Truly progressive.

The “villages” are astray as members of the liberal belief system congregate in Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Police now retreat ensconced in riot gear being bombarded by rocks, cans, trash, etc.

The Baltimore community “leader” set up “safe spaces” for the misunderstood to rant, scream, and ruin the labor of someone else while sprinting back to the “village” with bags of Doritos.

Is this what Nancy Pelosi meant by Obamacare allowing everyone to not work and find their passion?

Snacks for everyone including the Humanitarian Hamas?

Oy vey.

Where are you Hillary?

This is your village.

What do you mean you didn’t build that?

Oh yes you and Elizabeth did.

What does it matter?

Trust me madam it’s going to matter very soon.  You and your Chairman Mao sport coats will fit perfectly in Leavenworth.

Where are you Barack?

Too busy telling jokes someone else wrote for you?

Too busy making fun of Trump to notice all the carnage happening the next town over?

Destruction you put in place because of your constant attacks on law enforcement and comparisons of your own facial pigment.

Of course it isn’t Barack’s fault Obama supporters.

It’s Bush’s.

Pipe down Bush apologist.

He’s the one who gave us two terms of “dope and harangued”.

Still, Obama does have a way about him.

The “man” stares into the camera and tells America to do some “soul searching”.

Apparently on top of pseudo-economist, informational fabricator, and factually challenged  law professor, we can add the worst therapist ever.

The coupling of  the “soul searcher” with Eric Holder and his “America is full of cowards” comment only leads us to one conclusion.

The coward in the White House has nothing internally to search…although he does like to poke the “bear”.

But he, like the rest of the politicians, have been misinformed.

America isn’t filled with bears who are “flexible” with our ethics or draw “red” lines in the metaphorical sand.

America is filled with Lions who’ve been roaring for a while.

The roaring is your warning “soul searchers”.

When the American Lion goes silent…we’re done talking.

So pay attention Washington D.C.

You’re focused on the wrong issue.

Start focusing on the LAW ABIDING TAX PAYING AMERICAN CITIZEN!

If you force America’s hand we won’t be ruining our neighborhoods, running around with our faces covered like cowards.

We’ll be shoulder to shoulder, millions strong, with our heads held high, and Old Glory waving her strength, coming to you, in OUR capitol.

You better get this under control now because trust me, if you force us to go silent, a slap from our momma’s isn’t going to stop us.

Not that they would or would have to.

Real American mothers don’t raise felons.

Real American mothers raise men and women who serve the country…not themselves.

Do not open that door!!!

What a fascinating time in the world.

Sometimes it feels as though I am watching a horror flick where the music becomes darker and the actor starts to turn a handle on a door that you know they shouldn’t be opening.  Some people will scream at the TV, “NO! Do not open that door!”, while others squirm on the couch thinking the same thing.

Of course they open it and out comes Pandora, box and all.

Or Freddy Krueger, take your pick.

Why do we keep opening the same door?

“Hillary Clinton once proclaimed”…that’s all you should need….

Don’t open the door.

“Bill Clinton”…again all you should need…..

Leave the door shut.

Barack….

Are you with me now?

The one thing all of these people and politicians in general have proven is they don’t care about freedom, America, you, or me.

There are things we know and things we don’t know.

We know this.  They don’t care about our plight, our lives, really anything about us.  These types of people are like a Hoover vacuum (not fair to Hoover).  They will suck up everything they can to fulfill the void in their lives.

Money, resources, the truth, even human lives do not matter to these people.

Yet we continue to “open the door”.

Or do we?

Some democratic voters (not enough) currently abhor Hillary Clinton.  They proved this last time when they went with a guy whose middle name was “Hussein”.

I think we should start pronouncing it “Insane”.

For sake of clarity.

It’s only “fair” to keep things “balanced”.

Hussein as in Saddam was a Sunni.

“Insane” as in Obama prefers Shiite and I do believe would appreciate the adherence to his strict dogma not be confused.  Never fear BO…you are in good hands.

From this day further I bequeath onto Barry, Barack…it’s all so confusing…his official name and title:

Barack Insane Obama.

I think it has a nice ring.

But then again who is the insane party here?

A man who lies, lies to cover lies, then lies some more because those lies seem to work…or the people who continue to go along with the lies when they know none of it is true.

We the American people have bestowed our trust, not once but twice, into a man who struggles to keep up with current events, unless they can be found on television, but always has his NCAA bracket turned in on time.  Never mind the fact he thought it important to explain to us what his son would look like…if he had one.

Before this we placed our belief, twice, in a man who announced to the world that the Mission was Accomplished and then left our best and bravest behind in the hands of…Barack Insane Obama who repeatedly told anyone who would listen exactly what he was going to do in that region of the world…before he was elected.

Finally before all of this we placed our country, twice, in the hands of a man who was confounded by the word “is”, proclaimed “oral sex” wasn’t “sex” (wouldn’t this be the same as green apples aren’t apples?) and stated he smoked pot but didn’t “inhale”.  Now I am certainly not an “expert” on marijuana but if you don’t “inhale” what is the point?

Of course when you struggle with “is” I guess anything is possible…and boy howdy “is” it!

We are now in 2015 and the wife of the man who defined “oral sex” as not being “sex” (while “not” having sex with “that woman”) wants to be President.

Don’t laugh.  Millions of Americans “is” willing to vote for her.

I have no doubt they are inhaling.

But wait there’s more.

The brother of the guy who left the greatest military in history in the hands of “Insane” also wants to be President.

No no stop laughing.

This is true and according to polling (I’m guessing they are polling the same people they weekly ask about their job status) the brother of the man who struggled to pronounce nuclear is leading all Republican “hopefuls”.

It appears an epiphany is in order.

I am done blaming Curly, Moe, and Barry.

Let us put the responsibility of their behavior exactly where it belongs.

On us.

We put them there.

We’ve allowed them to convince us that to be safe we had to ignore the laws of America.

We’ve been convinced drugs are good, saving money is bad, and hard work is for the foolish.

That climate change is controlled by human consumption but adding millions of consuming illegal “immigrants” will somehow save the day.

That never ending debt, war, and greed will bring us peace and prosperity.

It appears we need a fifth grader…we may be better off with a child leading us.

Although two more years of Common Core and they may not understand “is” either.

Still, with the leader of the Choom Gang attempting to shoot par as often as possible I have no doubt more kids will learn to inhale.

That will be one thing Net Neutrality certainly won’t slow down.

Ahh America…just leave the door shut and open a window to a new path, a brighter day.

Free will still prevails here.

Let us gather our people and ensure Freedom still exists in the future.

This is OUR country!!!

Google, Story Connection TV…and the Tom Sullivan Show

To whom much is given much is expected.

I was given the gift of being born an American and blessed with two parents who loved me.

Much was given.  Much is expected.

On Monday I sat with and was interviewed by a lovely woman (Danna Dennis Wilberg)and her talented crew (Lisa Farr et al) and recorded two television shows for Story Connection TV that will soon be released on Access Sacramento.

Wonderful people, wonderful time.

I arrived early and was rewarded with a 45 minute conversation with Danna.  She had many questions about Late Bird and the time seemed to fly by as we talked about my growing up in America, our current plight with government, and the awakening of our nation.  I’d heard many positive things about Danna from the effusive Michele Smith (publisher/publicist) and was delighted to find out they were all true and then some. I look forward to seeing her team’s collective talent on the small screen very soon.

We will of course post it on the website, www.aleadernotapolitician.com (created by the talented Onyx Pike), Facebook, and YouTube for all to see.

We keep moving the message.

One voice,  one video (thank you Jerry Galerkin), one share, one TV show at a time:)

Speaking of moving the message on Tuesday I had two minutes, via the telephone, on the Tom Sullivan Show in New York. (Syndicated,Fox News, KFBK Local Sacramento Station)

He’d just spent 30 minutes talking about our corrupt government and how everyone was bought and paid for on the radio.  A wonderful American had called in and told him to check out Jason Kraus.  At that point Tom said my name almost a dozen times over the airwaves (we thank you Tom) and then followed that up each time by telling the audience Jason Kraus doesn’t have a prayer.  Who is Jason Kraus he kept asking, why haven’t I heard about him?  After Googling Jason Kraus he still couldn’t find me.

For the record I Googled Jason Kraus.

I was fifth and seventh on the first page.

I also Googled Jason Kraus for President.

I was the top six…on the FIRST PAGE.

Not so difficult Mr. Sullivan.  No so difficult.

(Tom Sullivan Show, (866) 859-2788, Monday thru Friday Noon to 3:00 Standard Pacific Time in case anyone would like to explain how easy it is to find Jason Kraus, share our message, provide him an explanation on how Google works, or just give him some love.  Eeyore probably just needs a hug from Americans on the Freedom Train:)

Nevertheless after a couple of minutes of Tom on the Tom Sullivan Show telling millions of listeners (hopefully…and again thank you Tom) that I had no chance and was going to get crushed (which one is it brother Sullivan?  No chance or getting crushed? Getting crushed implies I have a chance) I decided I’d had enough and called the show.

After a short two minute chat whereby we exchanged “pleasantries” Tom took his opportunity to wish me luck and then the phone went dead.

A little later I heard him say again because I don’t have or won’t accept millions, if not billions of dollars, my offer of service to America will go unaccepted.

WRONG!!!

I have made the call and will continue to make the call currently for 10 million voices.  3 percent of the American population to join me in doing what all of you do so well.

Serve America!

We have no room for the cynical, the complaining, and as I’ve written before the Eeyore Effect.

Let’s be very clear here.  We aren’t asking PERMISSION!

This is OUR country!

This is the land of the free, the home of the brave!

The birthplace of the fierce, the loyal, the strong.

Just keep telling us no way or it will never going to happen.

You’re only fueling the fire. (Not that we need it.)

Just keep on whining and complaining about our problems while the rest of us get to work, one voice at a time.  Stay focused on the television and very soon you will see the greatness of America ROARING before your very eyes!

Because this much I know.  New American Brothers and Sisters are joining with us everyday.  We grow in scope, in size, in solidarity.  We protect the weak and laugh in the faces of the wrong.

Our swords are sharpened and our pens are flowing as voice after voice screams out:

I AM AN AMERICAN!

Much was given.  Much is expected.

Those expectations shall be met.

I pledge my allegiance to the United States of America.

God shed his grace on thee.

A letter from America

I really enjoy hearing from all of you.  The numbers are now so large it is hard to respond to everyone.  But I hear you and many of your letters, notes, or comments turn into the next column or provide me with an even greater relationship with my American Brothers and Sisters.  For every negative comment it seems I receive ten in the affirmative.  One Obama supporter asked me one time why I didn’t respond to her rant.  For the record I did respond.

I deleted it:)

If I don’t have time to respond to all of you wonderful people who love and cherish the greatest country in the history of man why would I bother with anyone else?

Of course the question answers itself.

I don’t.

We aren’t  here to make “nice” with supporters of oppression.  We are here to make a difference, reclaim our birthright, and restore our country.  With that said I recently received a letter from an American Sister.  With her permission I am sharing a part of it with you because it moved me.

God bless the United States.

Shoulder to shoulder.

One voice at a time.

Introducing the voice of Valerie Lever:

Jason,

I finally was able to read the book and I will say that from the very beginning it caught my attention….I enjoyed the way you were able to tell about your family life and how I could easily draw my own pictures from your writing….we both grew up with a lot of the same family values, being taught to help others, to use our manners, do the right thing and to be a part of giving to society, not taking….I so felt the agony of your mother when she paid a visit to public assistance, the disrespect she was submitted to by a case worker…I too felt that shame she was made to feel by just trying to get a little help for her family.

Your word pictures of high school brought back so many memories of the kids I knew, the special teachers, and the not so special teachers,and the things I learned. I wasn’t a boy so I didn’t participate in baseball, etc….but I have awesome memories of the junior/senior powder-puff football game at the end of the year….a memory I will never forget…it was tag football…we grabbed a rag hanging off the back of each player….I was a lowly junior and I grabbed for a Senior’s rag and by mistake caught the bottom of her shirt which, being old, ripped, and exposed much of her bra in the front…the stands erupted in laughter.

I thought it was going to be my last night on earth…but we actually became good friends and were able to laugh about that ourselves….excuse me, I do ramble on….anyway, back to your book.

I love the way you made the story come to life…and the ideas you have for this country to get it back in the hands of true Americans.

Those who love and have pride for this great land.

I agree with every one of your ideas, no income tax, a consumption tax, closing and protecting the border, and the steps to become a legal American.

I love that someone finally agrees that we must have ID to vote and the idea of the US Military and Protection Tax.

I love the idea of owning a tax free home, to know that if you pay for it you don’t have to worry about losing it for unpaid taxes and the idea of us not having to support every yo-yo who serves in Congress for the rest of their lives.

Jason, I’ve been spreading the word trying to get people motivated with excitement about you and your running for president….I’m having luck with some but am disappointed with many people who will make comments such as “that’s nice but he’ll never get elected” or  “he isn’t known” or “they’ll never let him get away with his ideas”.

On and on with negative instead of positive comments and thoughts….I get so frustrated.

I usually tell them that if they would get a positive attitude, and think yes it can be done, we can get our old America back, and someone who feels the way we do can get elected if each person who agreed would just inform 10 people who would be excited about the idea and each of those 10 would do the same with 10 more, and so on, before we know it the word would spread like wildfire….so yes, we can do it!

We can get you elected but we must believe that it can be done!

I want to just jerk a knot in some people’s heads.

I tell them “well then just go on about voting for someone who makes all these promises and who you find out after the elections are the same old liars as the rest have been….we keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.”

When will they ever learn?

I want it now.

In this next election!

Anyway, I didn’t mean to write a book but I’m excited to spread the news and excited to be on board the “Freedom Train”!

Maybe I expect too much…maybe I can’t get my ten, maybe I’ll have to settle for five…omit that…I will not settle for five, nor ten….I’m shooting for at least one hundred!

“One voice at a time”

Valerie

Amen Valerie.

Amen.

Let the call roar far and wide across these United States currently seeking just 10 million American voices to join us and forward the message along.

Voices that make up 3 percent of population.

The message is freedom…as you well know.

The time is now.

Shoulder to shoulder.

This is OUR country.

Duty not Desire

A question was asked recently,  “Why do you want to be President?”  It’s a great question and one that must be asked of anyone applying for the job.  There’s been lots of different answers over the years. Most of them are lies.

My answer is this.  “I don’t want to be President.”

Anyone who is sane and genuinely spends anytime thinking about doing this job will always come to the same conclusion.

Nope.

“Want” cannot be the reason.

The incredible power and overwhelming responsibility should stop any rational, ethical human immediately, eliciting a resounding “who would WANT to do that?”

The reason the last three Presidents have been such failures is due to the fulfilling of their own “wants” or desires.

Anyone proclaiming to want to be President of the United States should be ruled out immediately.

Want isn’t strong enough.

It has to be about service.

It has to be about duty.

American soldiers did not WANT to storm Normandy Beach.  Our best and our bravest did not WANT to be air lifted and dropped into Vietnam.  Today’s heroes do not WANT to be anywhere near Afghanistan or Iraq.

American soldiers continue to step in front of harms way because of DUTY.

Duty to their brothers.  Duty to America.

They know the politicians lie.  They are the “boots on the ground”.  Their information or intel is accurate because they are experiencing first hand what politicians continue to ignore or lie about and yet the American Soldier still stands and delivers every time.  It’s well beyond want.

Their call to duty and belief in America and American values are why they continue to answer the call everyday, even in the face of extreme circumstances.

I don’t “want” to be President.

I’ve given this subject a lot of thought.  The next person to take the job will be coming into an incredible mess where brutally difficult decisions pertaining to human life and death will have to be made in order to protect freedom here and around the world.  The next person will have to undo decades of corruption, coercion, and criminal activity.  They will receive death threats if not very real attempts on their life.  Every word, every syllable uttered from this person’s mouth will be dissected, dismembered, and purposely displaced.  With each decision the ethical leader will always internally inquire,”am I sure I am making the right call”, knowing full well there is no right decision in many cases.  Just things that unfortunately have to be done because of past deeds or current crisis.  With many of these decisions, the ethical mind will wonder (rightly so) if they are losing part or all of their soul.

Yet with everything just listed the stress of the Presidency pales in comparison to the American Soldier in combat.

In fact it doesn’t compare at all.

The American Soldier believes in duty and service to America.

It’s time the Commander-in-chief does as well.

One term, no campaign contributions, no salary.

Service to the people.  Service to our military.  Service to America.

I don’t “want” to be President.

It’s well beyond this.

Duty not desire.

Trust and Loyalty never have to be verified

There’s seems to be an expiration date on everything…except maybe Twinkies.

Thankfully, Presidential cycles have expiration dates lest we be stuck in perpetuity with the “Chosen One”.

The Obama cycle already feels like an eternity.

But through all this it is our personal relationships that dictate whether a society remains strong.  In America our personal relationships are centered on the family unit.  A husband and wife, mother and father, children and pets, grandparents, brothers and sisters.  All relationships count on clear communication but the family unit, children or no, truly benefits through time together as compassion, empathy, and nurturing grows in an intimate and powerful way.  When emotional barriers and walls are removed, trust and loyalty are both rewarded, setting the tone for a society to grow in a positive manner.

Trust and loyalty are required for Freedom to prevail.

Trust and loyalty allow for love to thrive.  Love by definition is the giving to someone else with no expectations of anything in return.

Along with an incredible work ethic, the traits of trust, loyalty, and love are the pillars of our society.

It’s why we are struggling so much as a country, a nation, a people.

We don’t trust anything happening in Government these days.  Because we have no trust we cannot establish loyalty.  In the past most Americans would readily wear the label of Democrat or Republican.  Now, more than ever Americans are registering with no affiliate or declining to state a party.

We don’t trust so we don’t extend our loyalty.

No trust, no loyalty, no belongingness, no love.

As the American family goes, so goes America…and the American family is struggling.

Under or unemployed, living paycheck to paycheck, or on some type of government assistance is a brutal way to live for any person.  But when at least a third of the country is going through this, systemic changes HAVE to be made.

We cannot allow another American generation to live in systemic poverty dictated by immoral politicians who create more division and distrust while never solving a single problem.

The reason we are being successful in the growth of our mission to reclaim and restore America is because in here trust has been established.

Through the book, columns, videos, and your comments, we have established a family.  Thousands of American Brothers and Sisters coming together from all over the greatest nation in the history of man!

In here, right here, we have trust!

Because trust has been established loyalty has been built.  We have bonded through communication.  I know this because of your willingness to like, comment, and most importantly share our message.  I also know this because as we grow I receive more and more wonderful messages from all over America.

Although I cannot answer every single comment I do see many of you commenting positively on each others thoughts.  I smile when I see this.  I also notice many of you are quick to defend me when the occasional “stage five clinger” decides to say something unpleasant.

What I am really impressed with is rather than provide negative feedback to the “lost soul” many of you will immediately put in comments of how much you love the current column.  This is true communication and it is much appreciated as we never “feed the animals.”  Besides I BBD (block, ban, delete) them anyway.  We want like minds.  We aren’t here to convince.  We are here to inspire!

For the record…you inspire me.

The trust and loyalty we have for, and with each other, fuels me to find better ways to show you how much each and every one of you mean, to not just me…but to America.

It is because of this trust and loyalty found amongst all of us that our message will grow and grow until we have reclaimed our rightful place in America.

At the top with love for all…all things American.

God bless these United States.

We are on our way.

Our ABC Absolutes

Regularly across America “columnists” will opine about the danger of guns.  Many anti-gun activists actively salivate awaiting the next time a small town has a shooting.  Not sure why they “wait”.  Opportunities for their shtick happen almost every weekend in Chicago or Los Angeles yet we rarely hear about this.  I guess it doesn’t fit their “agenda”.

Some of these “journalists” blame the gun for the ills of man.  As though the gun is self-loading, clicks off its own safety, points itself at someone, and pulls the trigger…over and over again.

But for the purpose of providing a lesson in logic let us accept the premise that an inanimate object can do all of these things. (I know.  Humor me:)

If the “gun” is responsible for shootings then applying “logic” automobiles are to blame for accidents.  Ice cream for type two diabetes, Coca Cola for cavities, and any woman in the vicinity of Bill Clinton.

It’s Hillary’s server, Lois Lerner’s emails, and the underwear, not the idiot, that is to blame for “pants on the ground”.

This type of logic writes itself.  Hillary blames the server for not being able to locate Lois’s emails because Bill’s underwear will not allow themselves to be pulled up.

Then again “what difference does it make?”

In this instance the important difference is our being dictated to by people who genuinely believe, and have proven, they can blame anyone or anything at anytime…and get away with it.

We have to create new absolutes in our way of thinking.  In absolutes I mean no matter what…these rules never change. It is the only way to remove the parasites eating away at America.  We will call these our ABC absolutes.

Absolute A.  Anyone running for any office who accepts campaign contributions is called a politician.

Absolute B. All politicians lie.

Absolute C.  Never vote for a liar.

If A….then B….then C.

It’s really quite easy to understand, simple to follow, and I guarantee will work 100 percent of the time.  Logic.

Unlike the blaming of a gun or a server or all that underwear nonsense.

As Spock would say…illogical.

Democracy versus a Constitutional Republic

It is becoming increasing difficult to refer to America as a Constitutional Republic.  Although it’s found directly in our pledge, “and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands”, we are in practice a democracy.

It’s why we are suffering as a people.

Rather than protecting the rights of the individual we now allow the majority “party” to dictate over the “minority”.

What this really means is a select few at the top set the rules for the rest of us to follow.  When these “rules” become troublesome for the select few they are changed.

This isn’t a new phenomenon.

Human behavior has followed this type of authoritarian pressure since the beginning of man.  We see it currently in full bloom in places like Communist China and Russia and every country where Sunni or Shiite Muslims are the majority.

Although these places could be referred to as misogynistic (and this reference would be correct) the few at the top of these societies also murder men as well.  There are thousands of examples of this throughout history not to mention daily occurrences as I am writing this now.

Democracies are basically mobs and mob mentality.

We’ve always had a certain amount of pressure from the top.  When any human is given such power for an extended period of time they will succumb to their own hubris.

It is absurd to hear anyone proclaim to be a Democrat or support Democratic politicians then scream about their Constitutional Republic Rights.

Sorry to inform you but it doesn’t work that way.

This is why we are having so many problems right now.

It’s why Democracy has taken over.  Groups over the individual.  The current Democratic party actively and overtly target groups of humans, rather than the individual, based on certain things.

Color of skin.

Sexual orientation.

Humans here illegally verses American citizens.

Again remember how democracy is defined.  The majority ruling over the minority.  Right now Democrats have cobbled a voting block together that allowed them to dictate from the top through the aforementioned groups.  They’ve not only opened the door to “democracy” but have endorsed it through hatred and lawlessness.

I have a question for the “Democrats.”

What happens when the “majority” of Americans decide differently.

What happens if the majority of America decide they will not tolerate being called racists anymore?

What happens if the majority of America (heterosexual) decide they don’t agree with homosexuality?

What happens if the majority of America decide they’ve had enough of illegal immigration?

Under Democracy anyone falling into these groups will become the “Minority” and will be dictated to by the “Majority”.

Do you recognize the problem Democratic voters?  The formation of mobs is a two way street and that street is a dead end…for everyone.

Pendulums swing both ways and the more it swings wildly one way the greater the correction will be to the other side.  Energy, momentum, interest rates, etc. These things don’t have feelings.  In trying to suppress them the avalanche coming only gets worse.

The Boomer Generation of Politicians is the worst collection of people we ever could have elected.  From Clinton’s racist housing programs, to Bush’s corrupt economics, to anything Obama has touched we should by now understand exactly how Democracy works.

It doesn’t.

18 trillion in debt and soon to be rising.

47 million on Welfare/Food Stamps.

Wars with no end.

America was founded on fierce individualism.

The primary belief that the citizen only answered to the one thing greater than him or herself.

God.

That the American Citizen was not only responsible for their own survival but required to ensure this outcome.  This belief in the individual in America was so strong it became a given.  A fact.  We know this because the writers of one of our most precious documents were positive thinkers. Hence some of the most beautiful words ever constructed:

The pursuit of happiness.

No one pursues happiness unless they are free and passed the water, food, shelter phase in life.  The writers, in all their wisdom, granted the fact that Americans would always require personal freedom, because it was set in stone, that Americans would take care of themselves.

There is nothing wrong with America!

But there is definitely something wrong with any human who will accept the good will of others and offer nothing in return.

There is definitely something wrong with humans who believe they are owed anything.

The greatest gift ever to be given, is given to every child, born to American parents.

It is the gift of freedom.

There is no greater home field advantage.

But that gift is being spit on by politicians on both sides who clamor to fill the emptiness in their souls on the backs of the American Citizen.  Splitting us into groups based on the color of our skin.  Calling us Uncle Tom’s, racists, homophobes, or bigots.

They are all guilty.

Both parties have been practicing Democracy and disrespecting the PLEDGE to our beautiful America for decades now.

They have dishonored and put in danger our military with never ending wars.

Democracy is a horrible system.

We are individuals.  We are Americans.  We were given the gift of Freedom by Americans before us.  Our individual rights are granted to us as Americans, within a Constitutional Republic.

Not African Americans, Mexican Americans, Russian Americans, Latino or Hispanic Americans, or Asian Americans.

AMERICANS!

Your Constitutional Rights are only found under one name.  The United States of America!

There is no such document or country called African America.  There is no such nation called the Latino United States.

These are racist, irresponsible, and dangerous creations created by humans to scare, anger, and divide.

I don’t care what you look like.  I don’t care what you do in your bedroom.

As long as you aren’t harming anyone or yourself and financially pulling your own weight and the weight of any children you created while they are young then I am on your side.

But if you are not, then I am not, and I still don’t care what you like or who you are sleeping with.

I don’t have time for your nonsense.  I am here to pursue happiness.

And so are at least 65 million voting Americans.

We’ve had enough of the “Equality Tour”.  We’ve had enough of the racist jargon.

“Black Rage”

“White Guilt”

“Brown Sugar”

“Yellow Man”

Pathetic.  What a putrid group of humans.

The color of our skin is something no one has, or will ever have, any control over.  Stop calling us White, Black or Brown.  We aren’t going to answer or tolerate this anymore.

We call each brother, sister, or friend because that is what we are.

We call ourselves Americans!

Listen up Politicians and anyone else out there who embraces hatred, racism, crushing debt, victimization, and “democracy”.

You disgust us.

We are shoulder to shoulder now.  The American people in all our glory are roaring!

It is time for you politicians to go quietly into the night and beg mercy from The Big Fella Upstairs.

But let’s be clear.  The second one is a suggestion.  That’s between you and God.

The first one isn’t.

That’s between you and US and although we are a merciful people you have harmed America at our core.  We will not tolerate the lies. We shall have no path for evil.

You better find a new horse Washington D.C.

The one you rode in on is tired of you too.

Don’t bother checking your hole card or your six.

We’ve got you surrounded and we know you are bluffing.

Besides, that loud noise in your head you keep ignoring shall be ignored no longer.

That noise is America…and she’s not coming to take part.

Rules, Laws, and Smoking in Ireland

I was on a train one night from England heading towards Ireland back in the 90’s.  Dublin was my destination.  St. Patrick’s Day was the next day and I wanted to see the parade and experience the Irish way of celebration during this event.

Rocking on the rails I sat quietly in my seat.  Placards adorned the walls listing certain things not allowed while on the train.  Smoking was one such thing.  I closed my eyes and was almost asleep when a cough from the back of the train caused me to open my eyes.  There was a family riding along, a man, a woman and two young children.  Immediately following the cough I smelled smoke.  I turned in my seat to locate its origin.  An old woman was puffing away blowing large plumes into the air.  The smoke had nowhere to go and began gathering around all of us in the car.  The children started coughing as I looked at the placards again.

Yep.

Plastered everywhere were signs prohibiting smoking on the train.

I think back on this moment occasionally asking myself if the signs weren’t there would I have acted differently.

Probably not.

As my father taught me “your rights end at my nose”.

That smoke was entering my nose and the noses of the kids in the back.  I’m fairly certain I would have had the same reaction.  But that is irrelevant as the signs (words) were everywhere.

Smoking prohibited on train.

Before I continue I want to explain my point.  Words, rules, directions, Constitutional Rights, don’t matter if they aren’t followed and enforced.

We can and are screaming about the lack of laws being enforced by our government right now.

They continue to ignore our written laws, words, and us as well.

Human behavior is very easy to predict.

If one faction isn’t following accepted written societal rules while requiring everyone else to, the next step is a physical altercation.

Human behavior 101.

Our country was founded on this principle.

No taxation without representation.

When one side had enough a humdinger of an altercation broke out.

When I was in school we called this the Revolutionary War.

Not sure what Common Core has renamed it these days.  My guess is something akin to “please explain how two plus two might equal four, then again may not, using no less than twelve steps while explaining how Islam is woven into the fabric of our core”.

Back to my story.

For as long as I can remember I have always been a rule follower.  I was taught to respect my elders (as long as they earned that respect).  But I have zero patience and a temper when people ignore the rules and other suffer.  If you want to ignore the laws then you make sure you are the only one who is harmed.  Don’t drag the rest of us along who are willing to play by the rules.  We want the rule of law.  We know without it anarchy is the result.

The children continued to cough as I walked toward the old woman.  I swayed with the momentum of the train and stopped two seats away from her.  She wasn’t a physical threat to me and the last thing I wanted to do was scare her.  I just wanted her to follow the rules so the rest of us could breathe.

“Excuse me ma’am,” I said in a very polite voice.  “It’s against the law to smoke on here.  I would appreciate it if you would put that out.”

I said this with a smile and genuinely believed once she realized she was in the wrong, and others were suffering, she would stop.

Boy was I wrong.

The old woman took a deep drag and blew it AT me.

I waved the smoke away as my brain quickly digested my options.  Had she been a man my options in dealing with this situation had just grown.

But she was a woman and by options were incredibly limited.  I wasn’t going to touch her and if I wasn’t going to stop her physically then I had no other options.

I choked down my temper and smiled widely trying charm and compassion this time.

“There’s no need for that,” I said pointing to the children in the back.  “They are coughing.  I would really appreciate you putting that out”.

The old woman took an even bigger drag and blew it at me again.

“Bugger off!” she yelled at me.

Writing this now I am smiling at this memory but at that moment I was an angry soul.  Here was a person ignoring all the rules and laws and creating a situation we were all forced to deal with unless we were willing to jump off a train rolling down the tracks.

Illegal behavior of the few abusing the law abiding many.

Sound familiar?

I have to admit I was stymied.  My personal ethics wouldn’t allow me to physically harm her or even attempt to remove the burning item continuing to create more and more smoke.  It felt as though my brain was about to explode.  I just stared at her shaking my head for about ten seconds trying to come up with a solution.

Sometimes you just have to be quiet and let a solution come to you.

Out of nowhere a disheveled man jumped out of his seat and into my face.  We were nose to nose.  His breath smelled like stale cigarettes and booze.  That was nothing in comparison to the body odor coming off of him.

At the time I was six feet one hundred and eighty pounds.

He was that and then some and approximately in his mid twenties…just like me.

A solution was soon to be found.

“She said bugger off!” he screamed in my face.

Horrible, I mean horrible breath.

I took a small rocker step back to give myself enough room to move.  He mistakenly saw this as weakness and moved forward into the tiny space I’d made.

“You need to back up right now,” I said quietly turning my body slightly while moving my hands towards my face.

“She said bugger off!” he screamed again leaning forward.

I would find out later bugger meant f*&# off.  The things you learn riding the rails!

I remember this as plain as day.  I actually smiled.  Trust me I wasn’t happy and every part of my fight or flight ANS arousal was firing.  Unfortunately there was nowhere to run…not that I would have anyway.

I smiled a tiny smile as all my instincts rushed to their positions.  All the fights in high school and college, all the rough housing with my father and peers, all the bullies in my past were in my face right now.

“I’m going to count to three.  You will move or I will move you,” I stated as a matter of fact, not a fact of the matter, as we hear so much on television these days.

His eyes narrowed and his body started to tense.

Now for those of you out there reading this right now you never, and I mean never, tell your enemy what you are going to do.

It’s why growing up when bullies would tell me they were going to “kick my a%$” I squared up and said “go for it”.

They’d made the mistake of informing me of their intention.  Don’t ever warn someone who you believe is trying to hurt you.  It’s why our current foreign policy is not only a joke but never works.  No elected leader should EVER state in public the intent of the United States military.  They only put our troops in greater danger and allow our enemies to prepare.  Once decisions have been made Constitutionally (which hasn’t happened for a while) politicians need to keep their mouths shut while our best and bravest are in harms way.

With that said some of you may be saying “didn’t you just tell him what you were going to do?”

No.  What I prepared him for was to be ready on three.

I went on one.

As I said “one” he was preparing for “two”.  Two never came.  As I picked him up and body slammed him to the ground (taking in a big whiff of smoke) I landed on top.  Unfortunately for me I didn’t have any control of my surroundings and as I landed I head butted the hardest piece of steel I believe to have ever been forged:)

The “steel” was one of the train seats and the stars dancing around my head were not a figment of my imagination, although I completely lost track of the smoke smell. (always find silver linings:)

I was now sitting on his chest with a tremendous amount of pain coming from the bridge of my nose.  My first thought was “how did he get me?”  I hadn’t realized yet the seat was my attacker.  I did realize quickly though as blood started running down the top of my nose at a nice pace.  I looked to my right at the seat and a little bit of skin (mine) was stuck perfectly in the metal.

I looked down at the guy as rage filled me.  Here I was trying to go to Dublin to enjoy a St. Patrick’s Day Parade and because of an old woman who didn’t want to follow the rules and a drunk I now thought I had a broken nose.  (It wasn’t but it hurt for a week).

I dropped my head and glared at my captured prey.  Slowly as the blood dropped off my nose I angled my head so it landed right on his face.  Drip drip drip.  I just held him there.  I’m not proud of it…I’m just telling you what I did. I will admit it wasn’t one of my better moments.  (silver lining not found:)

I’ve told this story over the years to a few people.  I try and use it as a teaching moment, and depending on whom I am talking to, the lesson varies.

In most cases it’s about standing up even when you don’t want to.  In other cases it’s about finishing the fight to make sure you don’t have to deal with it again.

That lesson is next.

There are many people, justifiably so, who would have thrown multiple punches into this guy’s face out of anger, frustration, vengeance, etc.

As I stared down at him his face was filled with fear.  He knew there was nothing he could do.  He looked like a scared little kid to me.  It just wasn’t in me to start hitting him.  Good and bad for me.

The good was I never lost who I was.  My belief in defending the weak didn’t disappear.  The weak was now under me and I just couldn’t hurt him…as easy as it would have been.

The bad…well…the bad could have cost me my life.

I am a believer in three things when it comes to human male interaction.  You can be liked, respected, or feared.  But if you try and mix them together it can cost you dearly.

This situation was under control because he feared (and couldn’t move) what I would do next.  I saw it in his face.  But when I showed him mercy he mistakenly attributed that to me having fear and proceeded to try and hurt me.

As I got off of him I stepped back not thinking he would try and attack.

I was wrong.

He was wearing very heavy boots and as I cleared his legs he somehow fired off a kick.  Thankfully the Big Fella Upstairs had my back (and front).  I barely saw the boot and moved my head just enough that it missed landing squarely under my chin (probably knocking me out) and smashed into my shoulder.  I have no doubt had that boot landed under my chin with the force it hit my shoulder I would have been out cold.  I also have no doubt he would not have shown me the mercy he’d previously received.

He scrambled back to his feet as his kick knocked me backwards.  As this story is getting long in the tooth let me just say by the time round two was over he was again on his back as I proceeded to fit his head into a tiny crack between the steel seat and the steel train wall.

Fortunately the train stopped and the police arrived.  It ended up being a laugher because even though he was a little messed up, they kept looking at my nose, asking me if I wanted to press charges.

Too funny.

I said no.

There’s a little bit more to this story…maybe another time.  Needless to say the smoking stopped (she ended up being his mother) and I did make it the parade!:)

Aside from hopefully entertaining you my point is this.

When others decide their free will is more important than our free will words aren’t going to change their mind.

It will always take action.  I am moving as fast as I can in an assertively peaceful manner to show a better way through systemic changes in taxation and border security.  Things that will benefit us and are easy to implement.

But our government is behaving aggressively and lying to us on a daily basis.  In some regards they are blatantly disregarding our laws and their oaths to faithfully protect and defend in an ever increasingly bold manner.  It’s as if they don’t think we will do anything.

They are wrong.

But to be successful we have to join together from all over the country!

We don’t need another revolution!

We need a restoration and in that restoration we lead by example!

Ethical every day Americans coming together through technology by the millions to replace the cancer in Washington D.C.

No one is asking you to “count to three”.

We cannot allow it to get that far.

If it does…we have failed.

America needs us now more than ever to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Let us restore our nation roaring our love for her.

For Freedom.

For America.

We have work to do.

So shall it begins.
