As we approach mid-term elections

As we approach mid-term elections we find ourselves on the front lines defending our way of life, freedoms and liberties. Our nation has fallen into dark times. Our nation can not survive another two years with the status quo. Do you remember all the speeches about CHANGE. Here’s some of the changes we’ve seen:

  • Our veterans have been forgotten by the same people that sent them into harms way!
  • Our flag can no longer be flown in some cities!
  • We’re racist, terrorist or extremist if we do not agree with our leaders and politicians!
  • The IRS targeting Americans!
  • Illegals are treated better than Americans, better than our veterans!
  • Our children are being suspended from school for food shaped into guns or playing with toys in their front yards!
  • Our government is spying and collecting data on us!
  • Our politicians and leaders promote race riots!
  • Every single right we have is under attack!

These are just a few of the changes we’ve seen. Can we afford any more? I think NOT!

On Tuesday, November 4 vote for your nation and not a party! We are Americans!

I have a day job

I have a day job and I’ve put my life and soul into it for 13 years. I’ve taken work on every vacation our family has taken. I mention this because I just went through my yearly performance evaluation and I did pretty good if I can say so myself, which leads me to this: The American people just gave DC their performance evaluation last Tuesday and they didn’t do so hot! They failed on everything they have done over the past 6 years, then they decided to blame everything on the people that just evaluated them! That’s right, we’re the reason they failed. We successfully sent many packing but not the managers. The people making the big mistakes are still employed and have decided to ignore our job performance warnings. It was made clear that POTUS could and would work with Congress only if they let him have his way. What the hell, we’re now running the country as if we’re in 5th grade? How can we possibly move forward when we continue to go back?

It’s Friday and the weekend

It’s Friday and the weekend is finally here, its been one wild roller coaster ride! We at Patriots Rising do not support any given party but rather candidates that support our freedoms and way of life. After the mid-term elections it appears that they are safe for at least two years. We thank everyone that voted. Together we sent a message loud and clear that we’re Americans and this is our country. Tuesday is Veteran’s Day! Thank a Vet for protecting our FREEDOM!

It’s the day before midterm elections

It’s the day before midterm elections and everyone seems to be talking about the Republicans taking control. I do not believe it’s Democrats against Republicans but rather candidates against candidates. The candidate that represents the people will win this year; the loyal party lines have been erased and if this comes to pass I believe the American people will send a clear message to Washington DC. What they do with that message will clearly be up to them. Many of the candidates running this year are everyday Americans that have stood up and said enough is enough. If you are a career politician who has forgotten that you are a elected representatives, a public servant and that you work for the people, the writing is on the wall………

Millions are spent on gun control

Millions are spent on gun control initiatives every year and there are so many other ways that this money could benefit our country; food and shelter for our homeless, lower cost for higher education or training to educate on gun safety, and these are only a few! One man alone has spent over 50 million trying to strip our rights from us. Guns do save lives! We know this and so do the gun control advocates but they will never admit it! In my opinion the Pro-gun community needs to focus on educating the individuals in the middle of the debate, this is where we can win the fight for our rights.

Several months ago I had a conversation with a co-worker that really had no opinion on the subject but added he really did not understand why normal citizens needed military weapons. I asked if he was referring to the black rifle with a pistol grip that’s always shown on news reports. He said “yes, that’s the one”. I then told him that the rifle he’s referring to is a semi-automatic rifle that’s made to look like the famous M16. It isn’t an automatic rifle. His response was simply “really, it’s not an automatic?” He confessed he didn’t know much about guns but he just thought it was an automatic that was capable of shooting hundreds of bullets in a matter of seconds.

The main stream media has so many more resources than we have and its an uphill battle to spread the truth. Many of the Pro-gun supporters that I know and myself included very rarely discuss firearms; it’s like politics and religion. Discussing firearms can quickly go south and most of us do not want to jeopardize working or social relationships, but this could be a perfect opportunity for us every day pro-gun folks to educate those that just don’t know. Kind of sounds like a double edged sword doesn’t it? Dammed if you do, damned if you don’t!
