Who Knew…When…And Why Didn’t Anybody Try To Stop It?

Posted on by

Joe Paterno knew. He knew about Jerry Sandusky. Paterno knew back in 1998 that Sandusky was being investigated on charges of child molestation and he knew in 2002 when Mike McQueary told him what he witnessed in the shower room. Paterno knew and all he did was kick it a rung or two up the ladder. Paterno told the Penn State Athletic Director and the school’s Vice President.

If McQueary knew and Paterno knew, and Curley and Schultz knew…so did a lot of other people. Graham Spanier, the school’s President knew. He’s the former President now.

It’s impossible to believe that, among a coaching staff which works so closely together every day, they didn’t all know.

A Pennsylvania DA who had investigated Sandusky back in 1998 vanished in 2005. Vanished, never to be seen or heard from again and has now been declared legally dead but no trace of his body has been found either. That DA knew.

To All Who Have Served, We Thank You

Posted on by

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

With those words, in 1919, President Wilson marked the 1st anniversary of the end of the War to End All Wars, a day which would become Armistice Day.

That war, the 1st World War came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

Some 7 years later, a Congressional resolution read: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

While the Marine Corps Celebrates, We Remember

Posted on by

Tomorrow is Veterans Day but today is special too. Today we celebrate the 236th birthday of the United States Marines. Formed in 1775 to assist the U.S. Navy during the Revolutionary War to conduct ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces.

Throughout its long and storied history, the U.S. Marines have fought in every conflict in which we have been involved.

While many will today celebrate the Corps and recount their history, I have chosen to narrow the focus.

In honor of the entire U.S. Marine Corps, throughout history and those who serve with honor today, I want to draw your attention to a single unit. A mere 400 Marines who changed history and who are responsible for our freedoms today.

There aren’t many of them left and it wasn’t until recently that these Marines were formally recognized for their remarkable efforts but you should know who they were, what they did and who they are now.

Is Penn State a Microcosm of Today’s Society?

When the Rule of Law Falls Beneath the Code of Morals

While we at The National Patriot do not venture off the political stage I am hoping you, our fine readers, will allow something of an exception here.

For more than 40 years, one man has either paced the sidelines or led from the box in Penn State. He has become the most successful coach in college football history. Joe Paterno and his career seem to be finished due to a sex scandal at that school.

Allow me for a moment to add some personal disclosure here. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, and to this day, I am a true dyed in the wool Husker fan. I was attending the University of Nebraska back in the early 1980s when one of the most contentious games ever played between the Huskers and Penn State took place. Penn State won that game with the assistance of a couple of the worst calls ever seen by the officials.

Decades later, Graham Spanier, the current President of Penn State, was the President of the University of Nebraska.

Don’t Take the Sucker’s Bet in a Card Game With Liberals

Posted on by

The use of the “Race Card” in the political arena is, as we all know, used primarily by the left against conservatives and nearly each time it is employed, it is employed falsely. If a conservative does not agree with an Obama policy, that conservative is deemed a racist. If a conservative opposes affirmative action, that conservative is deemed a racist. If a conservative stands for stronger immigration laws…racist.

We have all see this tactic employed and to some extent, it can be effective but the effect is wearing thin with voters.

Liberals, from the get-go, tried and tried to use the “Race Card” against the Tea Party claiming the Tea Party was a racist movement. The tried to play that card against Glenn Beck when he held a rally on the Washington Mall on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

It isn’t working like it once did and the only reason it ever worked is because nobody wants to be thought of as a racist. It never mattered to the left whether or not those to whom that label was ascribed were actually racists, just vilify them as racists and in the court of public opinion, their star will fade. Raise the question in the minds of the public and, to liberals, problem solved.

Just because the overuse and false use of the “Race Card” has taken the bulk of the effect off of it doesn’t mean liberals are anywhere near dropping that as a tactic.

A while back, Politico was interviewing Mary Francis Berry and asked her whether or not “branding” the Tea Party as racists will work. Berry’s response was very telling:

Obama’s Latest Foreign Policy FAIL

Posted on by

“Seal Target Geronimo” is the name of a new book by Chuch Pfarrer. Geronimo, as you will remember, was the code name for bin Laden during the raid in Pakistan which killed him. In this book, Pfarrer describes, among other things, how this raid likely went down.

Pfarrer should know what he’s talking about too.

Chuck Pfarrer is a former Navy Seal, but that’s not the end of it. While not personally involved in the bin Laden raid, Pfarrer used to be with Seal Tem Six as an Assault Element Commander and I suspect, he has some pretty spot on contacts.

According to the author, it is most likely that the shot that took bin Laden out came within 2 minutes of the time those Seals broke through the front door of that compound.

That’s not what caught my eye.

Obama Job Approval at 45.4% and That Begs a Question…

Posted on by

Today is November 6th, 2011. One year from today will be November 6th, 2012, and that is “take out the garbage” day in America. On November 6th, 2012, we head to the polls and cast out ballots and if history is any indicator, that will be the day we give Obama notice that he is out of a job.

In our history, no individual has won reelection as President when, one year out from that election, the incumbent has an approval rating of 47% or lower.

Today, according to Real Clear Politics, Obama is at 45. 4% and that seriously makes me scratch my head.

45.4% approve of the job Obama has done up to now.

Who ARE these people??

Ron Paul is Dead Wrong on Israel and Iran

Posted on by

Last Thursday, I wrote a piece titled, I Do, and We as a Nation Should, Stand With Israel which laid out the situation between Israel and Iran in what I felt was pretty clear language. At the end of that piece, I spelled it out this way:

“With Egypt now in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, a Hamas affiliate, Iran in the hands of a madman, Syria growing bolder by the day and Libya in the hands of who knows who but certainly with al Qaeda taking root, Iraq up for grabs as soon as we pull out in the next 6 weeks, Pakistan harboring terrorist activity and Afghanistan soon to become a vacuum, time is of the essence and clearly NOT on the side of Israel.”

After posting the piece, I received a good number of emails from Ron Paul followers asking all sorts of obtuse and dismissive questions including, “What do you think we need to do, babysit Israel forever?” and, “Are you really saying that Israel should attack Iran because of what they only THINK might happen?” and, “We should stay out of Israel’s affairs and Israel should stay out of Iran’s. Why do people like you always want war instead of peace?”

I am going to make this as clear as I know how.

Ron Paul and his army of Paulbots are dead wrong.

13 Words Obama Admin Does NOT Want on WWII Memorial

Posted on by

“With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.”

Those 13 words, spoken 67 years ago meant something. Those words meant a lot. They were words of comfort and of hope spoken to the nation 67 years ago.

With those 13 words, spoken to the nation by President Roosevelt 67 years ago, the United States launched, on June 6th, 1944, the D-Day invasion and sent thousands of our troops into the most dangerous situation of their lives and our history.

That decision by Roosevelt was not, could not have been easy; and he, as well as the nation, knew that many of those being sent to those fateful beaches would never return.

Those in uniform knew that too.

Roosevelt also knew the beaches would just be the beginning and that of those who made it off those beaches, many more would be lost before the end of that war.

He knew it, we knew it and they knew it.

The Friday Fume

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen 11-4-11

Well, you would think that going through another week of all of this tripe would have me singing the blues…

In your lowest possible voice please…

Nobody knows

The Liberals I’ve Seen,

Nobody Knows My Nausea…

Ah but it is finally Friday – and as we all know, on Friday, I get to let off a good deal of steam. This Friday is no different and you can bet, if liberals are out there…

I’m fuming.

Over at the liberal asylum, perhaps better known as the United Nations, it’s been a banner week. The white coat and blue beret crowd has finally let it slip that the vast majority of their CLIMATE CHANGE or GLOBAL WARMING or STUCK ON STUPID…whatever they’re calling it this week… reports HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY GRAD STUDENTS!!!

Ummm…These aren’t your high level genius in the making grad students…THESE ARE GARDEN VARIETY GRADUATE STUDENTS WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE IN THEIR FIELD OF STUDY!!!

Oh yeah, we’ve all been led to believe that the “CLIMATE BIBLE”…THAT PIECE OF JUNK SCIENCE WHICH IS CALLED “THE PANEL OF CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT”…RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORLD AGENDA AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN WASTED SPENDING…Is not written by some PHD or weather guru of great renown, NOT penned by the greatest mind in global rectal temperature taking…not authored by GOD on stone tablets… Continue reading →
