Samuel Adams was known as the “Father of the American Revolution.” Adams was an early American leader and patriot for the cause of liberty in this country. He was the instigator of the Boston Tea Party. Adams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and served as a member of congress until 1781. He formed the Committee of Correspondence that was responsible to keep the colonists united, and to keep them informed concerning the violated rights they were suffering under the British. Adams served as Lieutenant Governor and Governor of Massachusetts. (Ted Kennedy and company would have been run out of town on a rail in those days.)
Gone With The Wind

Asheville and Hendersonville Tribunes (NC)
There was once a land of Cavaliers and cotton fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow. Here was last ever seen the Knights of their Ladies Fair, master, and slave. Look for it only in books because it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization Gone with the Wind.
Gone with the Wind, first published in June 1936, is according to many sources, the most successful and widely read novel ever published in America. The author, Margaret Mitchell of Atlanta, received a Pulitzer Prize in May of 1937 for her sweeping historical novel of the Old South set during the War for Southern Independence and Reconstruction. The novel was also wildly successful internationally. By 1965 it had been published in twenty-five different languages in twenty-nine countries.
Whose Finger Is on the Button?

While our country is playing Father-may-I with President Obama, Pakistan is like dynamite ready to explode. Pakistan has become a very urgent national security issue for our country. The Pakistani government under the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari is trying to seek peace with the Taliban through appeasement. The Taliban sees appeasement as weakness that it will gladly exploit to promote its evil rule. The Taliban is making tremendous inroads into Pakistan and is exerting its influence on the government. Already the Zardari government has capitulated the Swat valley only one hundred miles from the capital of Islamabad to the Taliban in return for peace. The Taliban agreed to this peace accord and then violated its terms and launched another attack against the district of Buner only sixty miles from Islamabad.
The Church Needs A Marriage Apologetic

Since the election of President Obama, marriage has been under a relentless assault as proponents of same-sex marriage sense the tide of public opinion turning in their favor. The new White House website, which was posted on the day of President Obama’s inauguration, calls for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. In relatively quick succession, the Iowa and Connecticut state supreme courts declared same-sex marriage legal and Vermont became the first state to pass same-sex marriage through their legislature. The people of Iowa have yet to have their say in the matter and it is likely, if the legislature will allow it, there will be a constitutional amendment protecting marriage on a future Iowa ballot that will pass with plenty of votes to spare.
Advice From the Oracle

Not every family is blessed by having a Great Oracle of Wisdom such as myself in their midst, but my family is lucky. I am always ready to dispense Advice and Instruction whenever I’m asked for it, and often when I’m not asked! (Isn’t that nice of me?) And although my Vast Talents occasionally go unappreciated by my thankless family, I have no doubt that you will appreciate the tips on homeschooling and childrearing that I, the Homeschooled Oracle, have to offer. I share these Fabulous Tidbits out of my store of Personal Experiences, Personal Observations, and from the Stock of Truisms I learned from my Venerated Parents.
A-a-hem. Here it goes.
Kids will be kids. But that doesn’t mean they can’t learn to act like well-behaved adults—usually at a younger age than parents give them credit for.

Disarming the American People

- By Franklin D. Raddish
The Second Amendment in our Constitution says, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Obama, Reid, and Pelosi want to take our guns. Nancy (Jezebel) Pelosi, the U.S. House Speaker, has recently started a public media campaign to register guns that have not been registered by their owners. Pelosi said in one of her kick-off media anti-gun episodes, “We don’t want to take their guns away. We want them registered.” This is nothing but political camouflaged propaganda to take the guns from the American people. Pelosi’s objective is for Americans to register their guns today so Obama and company can confiscate them tomorrow. Gun control has its roots in Communism and Nazism. These tyrannical groups know that a defenseless people is an enslaved people. Communist dictators throughout the world could not have committed the atrocities they did if they had not disarmed the people first.
