Government is the problem
“Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”
-Ronald Reagan

I’m Offended…
I’m offended! No, actually I’m not but that statement covers most of the news articles we read today. It takes a lot to get me offended since I’m comfortable with who I am and what I’ve done with my life. I can’t even remember the last time I was offended.
Why am I ranting? Well, I just read an article where A&E was telling Phil Robertson to lay off Jesus because he may offend Muslim’s. There are so many examples, but this one about Phil Robertson set off this current rant your reading. I apologize if I offend ANYONE with my rant. Just kidding, I really don’t care……
Have we as a society fallen so far that we must analyze every word we speak before speaking them? We are constantly told not to do that, or say this or wear that because it may offend someone or some group. Are these people that insecure that words or actions can send them into a temper tantrum or is this just another “look at me” ploy?
Why can’t we have our own beliefs and forget for one moment the ridiculous and sometimes hilarious political correctness of today’s insane society. Last time I checked we still have the First Amendment. If you don’t like what you’re hearing or seeing leave. It’s a free country, or at least at the present moment it is. That may change over the next two years but for now let’s consider it free, for conversation sake.
Personally if you offend me I will go about my own business and probably never speak to you again. Done deal. End of conversation. That’s the way it should be, but in today’s world it’s so complicated. I’m sorry, it so politically correct. It’s as if everyone has gone back to high school. Actually, it’s like everyone has lost their @#$@ minds! Suck it up butter cup!
If you happen to be one of these people or belong to one of these groups you need to re-evaluate your existence and purpose in life. Not everyone is going to like you and the faster you figure that out the healthier you will be. You’ll have a heart-attack at 20 if you let what others say bother you.
As you have probably gathered Patriots Rising supports and defends a lot of hot topic items. If you disagree we’re good with that and we won’t block you. You have your opinion and it doesn’t have to agree with ours. Now… if our posts upset you to a point your blood vessels are popping out of your neck we would suggest unliking our page. Your health is much more important to us than your like.
So live long and prosper and lighten up world!
Separation of Powers
Did you Know?
The United States Constitution which is the supreme law of the land set out to create a Republic which is a government by the people and for the people. Supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected officials.
Separation of Powers is a system in which our three branches of the government would have defined abilities to check the powers of the other branches. The three branches are:
- Legislative
- Executive
- Judicial
This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution in which each of the branches are to be kept in distinct order to prevent an abuse of power.
Rights and liberties of the people
“Whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”
-Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts
Advocate, Train and Educate!
We are winning the battle but it’s unlikely to end any time soon. As we continue to grow in numbers our opponents are regrouping and developing new strategies. What battle am I referring to you ask? The battle to protect and secure our Second Amendment rights!
Concealed carry permits are at an all time high. More women are becoming gun owners than any time in the past. Many states are writing laws to nullify Federal Gun Control laws and “Gun
Free Zones” are being questioned.
The majority of American’s are realizing they are responsible for their own safety not the police or Government. We need to encourage, train and educate new shooters. Share the heritage of the sport and the self-protection benefits of firearms. Take your wife and kids to the range if you don’t already do so. Talk about the range at work. Most gun
owners do not advertise that they are firearm enthusiasts but that needs to change; it’s a heritage, sport, hobby, and most of all self-protection. We need to be proud and advocate our life!
We always talk about the anti’s but never talk about the individuals who could care less about firearms. There are many Americans who have n
o opinion about firearms. These are the people we can win over. You would be surprised what an hour at the range will do to a person who has never shot before.
Advocate, train and educate!
Hollywood Hypocrisy
Let’s send a loud and clear message to Hollywood that we will no longer support their Hypocrisy! Hollywood and celebrities who make millions from action films featuring guns has come to a head with actor Liam Neeson (paid 20 million for Taken 3). In fact, his recent statements regarding gun-control in the United States has prompted gun manufacturer PARA USA to boycott all of the actor’s upcoming projects. They have also asked others in the industry to do the same. We truly hope they do, along with every American who supports the Second Amendment. We work hard for our money so why would we give our hard earned money to people that actively attack our beliefs? Would you write a check to a gun-control group like Moms Demand Action? Of course not! So, why do we give our money to these celebrities? Can you image what would happen if every gun owner boycotted them? It would definitely send a message!!

The first shots of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington, Massachusetts in April 1775
The tree of liberty must be refreshed
“And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
-Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith
