Stirring the Pot – A Dangerous Sign in Libya

Posted on October 29, 2011 by Craig Andresen

And there it is. Proudly waving in a stiff breeze…There it is.

Hanging from the front of the building is a different flag but on the top of the building…There it IS.

First, the building itself.

That’s where it all started. It’s the site of the skirmish. This building is where Libyan rebels first had a direct challenge with Gaddafi loyalists and now it’s viewed as symbolic seat of power. That building, in the photo above, is the courthouse in Bengazi, Libya.

The large flag…The one hanging from the front of the building sort of folded over from the wind, THAT flag is the rebel flag.

Now then, the one on the TOP of the Bengazi courthouse. The flag that’s standing nearly straight out as a strong wind blows. Yes, that black flag. THAT flag represents quite a group.

A Silent Witness

Posted on October 28, 2011 by Craig Andresen

Since that day, in 1886, the world has changed and through it all, one has born witness to it all. Standing as a silent guardian, a light in the darkness, never blinking, never wavering. One has been there from that day to this.

Since that day, in 1886, 12 new states have been added to our nation.

23 Presidents have held office…2 of them died too soon.

Americans have gone from the surrender of Geronimo to WWII heroes speaking a language few could understand.

Since that day in 1886, it would be 2 more years before Kodak produced its first consumer camera, 17 years before the Wright Brothers took to the air and 22 years before the invention of the electric toaster.

Since then, we have flown, gone to the moon, sent mechanical ambassadors to Mars and our dev8ices have left our solar system.

Through 2 world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and more, a witness to our soldiers leaving, returning and mourning those who either never made it back or came home as the ultimate heroes, has been right there.

Putting the Polls and the Debates in Perspective

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Craig Andresen

It’s time I think, to take another look at the GOP field with regards to the debates and their positions in the polls. While there is plenty to cover, it can actually be boiled down rather neatly if you know at what to look.

To start with, let’s look at the debates.

It would take days to cover each and every little nuance of all the debates thus far and doing so would likely yield little in the way of usefulness. Not that what these candidates have said ISN’T useful, it’s just not where we need to focus for the purpose of this article.

In What America do YOU Believe?

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Craig Andresen

Has the fool on the hill finally seen the light? Has Obama started to come around to OUR side? It certainly seems like it if you listen to the words he is now employing on his latest campaign swing.

“If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own.”

Sounds a lot like…Self Reliance to me.

Here’s the code.

Obama = Big Government.

On your own = Self Reliance

Our Patriot Readers ROCK!!!

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Craig Andresen

Well, here we are. The National Patriot has completed our first quarter as a site and we want to bring you up to date with where we’ve been and what has happened in the last month.

One month ago today, I told you we were at a loss for words and we offered to you, our thanks.

A great deal has happened since then and we have done our level best to bring it all to you, our readers.

Today, we are completely humbled.

The National Patriot went live on July 26^th 2011 and our team of great contributors went to work cranking out articles and bringing our readers Commentary From the Right Side of Politics. What you, our fine Patriot readers in that first two months vaulted us well past what we had previously accomplished in three months on our original site.

Now, Patriots…YOU have BLOWN US AWAY!!!

DRUG SMUGGLER WALKS…BORDER AGENT GOES TO PRISON!!

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Craig Andresen

This is nothing short of pure insanity. It’s OUTRAGEOUS and it’s WRONG. The world is turning upside down and this administration is proving every day that they are indeed…fundamentally changing…our nation.

SHAMEFUL!!!

Border Agent Jesus E. Diaz Jr. was named in a November 2009 federal grand jury indictment with deprivation of rights under color of law during an October 2008 arrest near the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass and has now been sentenced to 2 years behind bars.

Here is what happened.

Islamic Law in American Courts a Dangerous Precedent

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Craig Andresen

It was almost exactly 1 year ago when, in Oklahoma, an amendment to that state’s constitution, voted FOR by the people OF Oklahoma was barred by a judge. That amendment would have made it illegal, in Oklahoma courts, to employ Sharia or Islamic law.

Opponents argued that the measure was unnecessary because state judges have no reason to rely on Islamic law.

Hmmm…Really?

Tampa…We have a problem.

Yesterday, in Tampa Florida, an appeals court has rejected a request to BLOCK a judge from using…ISLAMIC LAW…Thus ALLOWING ISLAMIC LAW to decide a case.

A Progressive March to the Brink of Self Destruction

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Craig Andresen

The election of 2012 will be the – THE – most important election in our 235-year history. We’ve heard this said and while many agree, I believe it needs context. To say an election is THE most important, one really needs to know which previous election set the standard.

To do that, I believe we must go back and have a look at the election of 1860.

It was the 1860 election which gave us President Lincoln – but it was what led to that momentous moment which makes the 1860 election so important and to this day, the most…MOST important we have ever seen.

We all know that slavery was the…THE issue in that election but few people know why. Of course there are the known factors in that slavery was wrong, the south wanted it, the north did not and the divide would lead to civil war – but what was it which lit the fuse?

To be frank, it was the Kansas–Nebraska Act.

In 1854, that Act, which replaced the Missouri Compromise, was written by and pushed to passage by Lincoln’s future opponent Stephen Douglas.

A Patriot, AZ Sheriff and Maybe a Force in the House

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Craig Andresen

Look out D.C. because you just might find a new Sheriff in town!!!

Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu is strongly considering a run for the House in 2012 and The National Patriot could not possibly be happier to hear it!

In Pinal County, AZ, Sheriff Paul has formed an exploratory committee looking into this possibility – and as we all know, one does not form such a committee without a serious reason.

Sheriff Paul has become nationally known – but unlike Sheriff Joe, also from Arizona – Sheriff Paul does not seem to seek publicity for his own reelections but because of a deep seeded drive for the safety of those he has sworn to protect. While both are fine law enforcement individuals, they do have a decidedly different style.

Sheriff Babeu has brought more attention to the legal aspects, the safety aspects and the dire consequences of illegal immigration than any other single law enforcement officer in the country. The lack of federal control over the border, the flood of drugs, the rise in violence and the staggering financial burden of illegal immigration do not happen in Sheriff Paul’s BACKyard…they happen every day in his FRONT yard.

This Patriot Sheriff has been for years trying to wake up national law makers and make his county, his state and the nation more safe but has been met by frustration over and over again. First, that frustration came from his own Governor and now, that FORMER Governor is heading up Homeland Security; and in that position, Napolitano has consistently claimed the border is safer now than ever before.

Obama, the Emperor, Has No Clothes

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Craig Andresen

None of this should come as any surprise. None of it. The National Patriot has all but predicted it, and now it’s coming to pass.

The Obama doctrine is coming home to roost in the most dangerous part of the world and the result will be an even more dangerous world.

Last week, I posed the question, “What’s next for Libya?”

In that article, I pointed out how the vacuum had been created with the ouster of Gaddafi and how the Muslim Brotherhood was standing in the wings.

Yesterday, as the Libyan National Transitional Council declared liberation following the killing of Gadaffi, they went exactly where I knew they would go.

That council has made it crystal clear that Sharia Law will be the basis of their new government which ensures that their people, the Libyans who fought for their freedom from a brutal dictator of 42 years, will now see it replaced by an even more brutal regime.
