Are You Prepared?

Ok folks, round two from the Shadow Patriot!

I am here to talk some seriousness now.  I am going to talk preparedness.  No, not the kind where you ring your house in sandbags, dig a moat and import alligators, though if you DO do that, please send me a photo!  I am not talking about the post -apocalyptic zombie preparedness either, but if you go to those lengths you are DEFINITELY prepared.  No, I am talking about preparing at least enough to weather the storm that may be coming.

What storm am I talking about?  Well, any storm.  And not just a really bad rainstorm either.  I am talking about a storm of economic proportions.  And I am not even convinced that it will get that bad, but I fear it will.  And to protect against an economic storm, I am doing a few things.

Conversations with Nutters

Ok, I am the new dog on the block, but I have known the contributors to this blog for some time now.  With much arm twisting, they FINALLY got me to come along and contribute my words to this great blog.  I do not pretend to be an expert in anything, though I am versed on a lot.  I may not come across to eloquently at times, but I promise I will answer your questions.  I welcome constructive criticism but negativity is not tolerated.  I do not subscribe to any political ideology except that of the Constitution, battered and bruised as she may be.  I have given my time to this country doing many things I can’t talk about, ever.  I held my hand up nearly 20 years ago and swore:  I, Shadow Patriot, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

I will piss you off.  I will make you laugh.  I will give you something to think about.  I may even make you like me.  But what I won’t ever do is candy coat anything.  I call it like I see it…I always have.

Did Killing Awlaki Cross a Constitutional Line?

In light of the killing of Awlaki in Yemen yesterday, an American citizen, there are some who are pointing to the Constitution’s 5th Amendment and crying foul. Certainly this must be considered and to do so, we must first look AT that amendment.

“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived  of life, liberty, or property, without due  process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

KILLED…Awlaki DEAD…Who’s NEXT???

Early this morning, a joint CIA and Military strike recorded a twofer in the killing of al Qaeda’s Al Awlaki and Samir Kahn!!

Both were apparently in a vehicle traveling in Yemen when two Predator Drones rained Hell Fire missiles from the sky.

Awlaki was the first American placed on the CIA’s Kill or Capture list and the first to meet his demise in that manner.

Awlaki, American born in New Mexico, was well traveled in the U.S. until after 9-11, having lived in New Mexico, Colorado, San Diego and Virginia. In fact, shortly after 9-11, an unknowing Pentagon had him as a guest speaker believing, at the time, that Al Awlaki could and would shed light on the mindset of Jihadists. He was at that time considered a valuable resource and a moderate who might help build bridges.

Obama Using FB to Spy on You…DO Something About It!

No doubt, many conservatives on Facebook have seen this posted – and many, while thinking “nothing surprises me,” probably also wondered if it was true or not. Your posts are showing up on Obama’s FB page in “friends” comments. Really? What?

Conservatives have for months been grousing about how their groups were getting shut down by FB without any notice. I know this to be true as several groups of which I belonged or started, received that very treatment.

For months now, conservatives have had FB posts and or comments simply vanish.

Paul Followers Now Going After Those Who Stand With Israel

Anybody who is politically inclined, a conservative and into social media has no doubt been noticing the tactics and strategies of those who follow Ron Paul. If you’re a Ron Paul follower yourself, you will no doubt start vibrating while reading this.

Paulbots can do themselves a big favor and save some time by getting their collective panties in a wad right now.

The latest tactic, or strategy being employed by the Ron Paul followers, Paulbots, is to attack through their various social media outlets, those who support Benjamin Netanyahu.

Paulbots, as we know, love to jump into the discussions of others and start poking those who are engaged with a stick trying to provoke a fight. This latest tactic simply isn’t going to win them any friends in the conservative community. Oh, their choir will crow – but outside that select and isolated group, they’re just completely missing the mark.

Obamacare Puts YOUR Privacy at Risk

Yesterday, I wrote an article regarding the need to stop Obamacare – not just through the court system but by repeal. The Obama administration has passed on the opportunity to delay things in an Alabama court which will take the Obamacare case directly to the Supreme Court with a decision expected early next summer.

I stated that even LOSING in court, Obama would know his precious socialized healthcare program wouldn’t be dead…just on life support. That is why conservatives MUST take the Senate in 2012 so that repeal will finally pull the plug.

Okay, a friend, a liberal friend, shot off an email and of course, his viewpoint is a great deal different than mine.

Racial Strategy of Liberals Based on Tired Old Dogs

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…and again…and again. If you want to know what liberals are doing, just pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing. Oh, I have liberals, every day, tell me I wrong and, most of the time, they punctuate it with a few choice names – but much more often than not, liberals confirm it at every turn.

According to liberals, the Tea Party is a bunch of racists. We’ve heard it nearly from the genesis of the Tea Party movement. We’re racists. That’s what they tell us.

Oh really?

Well, meet the new face of the Tea Party…Mr. Herman Cain. Of course it’s possible for a black person to be a racist as racism isn’t in and of itself…racist. I mean by that that racism isn’t confined to the “white’s only” bench.

I have been listening to Mr. Cain for some time now and have yet heard him utter anything near a racist comment. For that matter, I have yet to notice any racism in his actions either.

Obamacare Headed for Life Support – But Only WE can Kill It!

Obamacare is on its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The administration has passed on an opportunity to ask an Alabama court for further review after the court agreed with 26 states that the bill was unconstitutional.

That means, when the Supreme Court goes into session in October, Obamacare will be on the docket and chances are the case will be heard before the end of this year with a decision coming probably next summer in the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign.

That’s NOT the big news surrounding Obamacare however.

This is one of those good news/bad news things – and before we get to the bad news, the really disturbing news, we should look at the ramifications of the decision at hand.

The National Patriot Thanks YOU!!!

Today, we at The National Patriot, have decided to do something a little different. Different for us and different from so many other great sites. Today is our 2 month anniversary and e have something we would like to say to you, our readers.

Thank you.

As the Publisher and Executive Director of The National Patriot, I know that doesn’t sound like much and you’re right, it isn’t but to be perfectly honest, you have me at something of a loss for words when it comes to what you have done for us.

The National Patriot is really a tale of two different sites. We started in March as a site called Politicular which was actually owned by someone else who asked that I take over the site…He simply didn’t have the time to put into it so…off I went. Patty Ewing Robichaud was the very first person I contacted and together, we redesigned the site and assembled a talented crew of contributors.
