Freedom

In world history, more often than not the bad guys such as Stalin, Mao, Napolean, King George and Obama have won. That's why our Founders gave up everything, risked their lives, their fortunes, their families to flee oppressive governments such as the one we have now. It was to build for themselves what Ronald Reagan called a "shining beacon" of hope on a hill. We lose battles in the fight for liberty from time to time but ultimately the war is worth winning.

A Republic, Madam, If you can keep it

The Moochers electing Looters who steal from the Producers.

Who is John Galt?

If you have never read Atlas Shrugged, I'll define. When there are more Americans TAKING than there are MAKING, then the Takers will always vote to make everyone else support them.

We have reached the tipping point.

A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.

For Love of Country

Expanding upon private emails and conversations...

Landslide: Romney by 7-11% of the popular vote -- I'll go way out and predict 54% to 46% -- and between 313-330 in the electoral college. When I've said that over the last few months, at dinner with friends or at church, I've gotten disbelief, then, "Oh, I hope and pray you're right."

The basis for my belief: 9/12 March on Washington; Restoring Honor Rally; mid-term elections of 2010; Chick-fil-A for Freedom of Speech; TEA Partiers who believe in fiscal conservation, smaller government and free markets; friends, retirees and service members who are watching our Constitution under assault and are ready to respond at the ballot box; testament from people of all faiths who cherish Freedom of Religion; small business owners who truly DID build that and news sites, opinion sites. blogs and comments on stories everywhere that reveal a visceral fear that our Nation has reached its apogee of freedom.

We do not threaten violence upon those who disagree with us nor do we spit vile and vulgar epithets at those who espouse their own beliefs.

We are Americans who do not believe in revenge, we do believe in Love of Country and Constitution.

We are the Silent Majority and we will be silent no more.

Religious Freedom

It's About Religious Freedom. Our First Amendment rights are under attack. I am not Catholic; I do support and greatly appreciate the Catholic church -- and specifically Bishop Jenky's -- defense of every American's God-given freedoms.

Dear Catholic Believers,

Since the foundation of the American Republic and the adoption of the Bill of Rights, I do not think there has ever been a time more threatening to our religious liberty than the present. Neither the president of the United States nor the current majority of the Federal Senate have been willing to even consider the Catholic community’s grave objections to those HHS mandates that would require all Catholic institutions, exempting only our church buildings, to fund abortion, sterilization, and artificial contraception. This assault upon our religious freedom is simply without precedent in the American political and legal system. Contrary to the guarantees embedded in the First Amendment, the HHS mandates attempt to now narrowly define and thereby drastically limit our traditional religious works. They grossly and intentionally intrude upon the deeply held moral convictions that have always guided our Catholic schools, hospitals, and other apostolic ministries.


Nearly two thousand years ago, after our Savior had been bound, beaten, scourged, mocked, and crowned with thorns, a pagan Roman Procurator displayed Jesus to a hostile crowd by sarcastically declaring: “Behold your King.” The mob roared back: “We have no king but Caesar.” Today, Catholic politicians, bureaucrats, and their electoral supporters who callously enable the destruction of innocent human life in the womb also thereby reject Jesus as their Lord. They are objectively guilty of grave sin. For those who hope for salvation, no political loyalty can ever take precedence over loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ and to his Gospel of Life. God is not mocked, and as the Bible clearly teaches, after this passing instant of life on earth, God’s great mercy in time will give way to God’s perfect judgment in eternity.

I therefore call upon every practicing Catholic in this Diocese to vote. Be faithful to Christ and to your Catholic Faith. May God guide and protect His Holy Church, and may God bless America.

Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, CSC
Catholic Bishop of Peoria

Stand Down

Despicable. Should be so to all Americans. To all who have served our great Nation. Especially horrific to those of us who have supported loved ones who "protect and defend... from all enemies, foreign and domestic." Imagine if it was YOUR husband, son, brother or father who had been left to die. There must be accountability --

Help DENIED Three Times During Benghazi Attack

CIA operatives in Benghazi were denied help THREE times over the seven-hour firefight. Two SEAL heroes disobeyed direct orders to stand down and went to help Americans under fire. SEALs took action while administration officials WATCHED in real time, as Americans died.

Then consider changing your Facebook and Twitter avatars to The Determinators to share that you are an "H" which means you stand with Hippocrates in your reverence for life.

I am an H.

Because I have a dear friend with a very rare disease and I believe she should continue to receive the $175 pills she needs to be well... in spite of the fact that she's approaching the higher end of the curve and will soon not meet Ezekiel Emmanuel's IPAB definition of a productive citizen of the state. And I am an H because I love a friend's new baby son and believe that he should not be put in limbo and suspended from receiving quality medical care because at only seven months of age, he has not yet proven his worth to society.

I am an H because I choose the dignity of the Individual over the tyranny of the state.
