It takes everyone liberal and conservative to run the politics of the engine we call America! Patrotic American warriors defend with their life the right of pacifists to hold the wrong opinions. The Blogmaster harbors some populist ideas and believes in free enterprise as opposed to corporate monopoly capitalism. This is a mostly GOP friendly blog. jdm

Today is Abe's birthday




Thank you Mister President from setting us on a course that freed us all from the tyranny of slavery. Pastors of all races all over America should preach on your foresightedness this Sunday. We stand now at the edge of a new tyranny that would pit the races against each other in a fight over taking the money earned by some and giving to others. There are those among us who would impose a totalitarian liberal progressive redistribution of assets and reward the idle with the production of the working.

Reprint from Chuck Baldwin on McCain

This is a reprint of Chuck Baldwin's comments on the present election and not an endorsement of all his views. Blogmaster


Either wittingly or unwittingly, our Christian leaders are party to deceiving the American people. For example, not only do they refuse to do any serious investigation into the shenanigans of the Bush administration, they refuse to even listen to the factual investigations that have been done. Willful ignorance has destroyed the Church in America today.Just look how our illustrious Christian leaders are beginning to coalesce around the corrupt candidacy of John McCain (as if a McCain Presidency would be any better than a Democratic one).Remember, it was Senator John McCain who single-handedly shut down the investigation and effort to bring home American POWs from Vietnam and surrounding countries. Why would a former POW do such a thing, unless,as reported by other Vietnam Vets who are in the know, it was to keep those POWs from coming home and testifying to McCain's collaboration with his communist captors?Remember, it is Senator John McCain who is committed to granting amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens. It is John McCain who has an F- grade from the Gun Owners of America for his miserable anti-Second Amendment voting record in the U.S. Senate. It is John McCain who was the ringleader of the infamous (not to mention unethical) Keating Five, who cost America taxpayers more than $160billion.As a longstanding member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations(CFR), John McCain will most definitely support the march toward aNorth American Union, the NAFTA superhighway, and the creation of aNorth American currency, called the AMERO. He will also pursue GeorgeW. Bush's neocon policy of empire building and preemptive war. As Pat Buchanan said, "John McCain will make Dick Cheney look like Gandhi."

Huckabee will not want McCain as running mate


Firstly let us thank Senator John McCain for his service and patriotism. Politics should not divide us when it come to the defence of the United States.

that aside...

The bible says that "one cannot serve two masters" and all clear headed observers have watched as you have tried to do just that in your Senatorial career. Your pandering to the liberal progressives while holding out the olive branch to conservatism has not worked. You are what you are Senator...a pragmatist who has more in common with your buddy Teddy the Drown-er and that sorry Soros that you do with mineself...a humble tho brilliant citizen patriot in central Oklahoma.

"thanks" Senator but "no thanks" If we elected you as a conservative President it would give conservatism a bad aura that we would never recover from. Better to elect an honest liberal progressive so all the cards are on the table.

Contain McCain!



Don't nominate every Democrat's favorite Republican!
The media and political establishment want you to think John McCain's nomination is inevitable!They think you're stupid — and that if they tell you what to do, you'll simply do as you're told… And they would like nothing better than to nominate the Democrats' favorite RINO!But don't be deceived… We've got some hard and swift news for the Washington elites — McCain's nomination is NOT inevitable, and together we can nominate a REAL RONALD REAGAN CONSERVATIVE.Despite the attempt to give John McCain the GOP Presidential nomination, the party doesn't have to nominate every Democrat's favorite Republican.
And yes, we CAN stop the McCain Express dead in its tracks, but only if we act now! [Read more]
Dark horse candidate poll
Republican voters are now being given to believe that “IT”S OVER” and their choice is limited to John McCain. THIS IS ONLY TRUE IF CONSERVATIVES COLLABORATE IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT MADNESS, AND ENDORSE MCCAIN WITH THEIR SUPPORT!If conservatives do not vote for McCain in the remaining primaries, and stand united for an open convention, we can prevail. The entire convention, or separate state delegations, can act to open the proceedings and unbind their delegates even on the first ballot at the GOP convention! In any event, McCain will lack enough bound delegates to prevail at the end of the primaries, if we stop the party from stampeding to his rescue with the party’s unbound delegates!WE MUST MOVE FORWARD OUR DEMAND FOR AN OPEN CONVENTION, AND A DRAFT FOR A TRUE CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE!

The McCain-Soros connection...


Human Events contributor Artyeh Spero has his doubts about McCain and his involvement with Soros money and the changes that McCain was instrumental in bringing about in campaign finance that benefit the liberal progressives including the Soros money pot at http://moveon.org .

begin quote"So thank you, John McCain, for your tireless efforts in behalf of McCain-Soros, clean money and motives and "reform." You have helped bring your party down. Thanks for being the gang leader of the “Gang of 14,” which stood in the way of up-or-down confirmation of conservative justices. Hats off to you for redefining torture so that effective interrogation of jihadists is forever impossible. As a reward, you wish, now, to lead the party and become its Presidential nominee and standard bearer.
I don't think so. " end quote from Mr. Spero
I don't think so either.




Mr. Spero is a radio talk show host, and president of Caucus for America. He can be reached at http://www.caucusforamerica.com/.

True Conservatives Join Dobson, Coulter Saying: “I Will Never Vote For McCain

Broker the convention


Lancaster, PA: Prominent conservatives are joining an increasing number of Americans nationwide crying ‘foul’ on GOP ‘front-runner’ and heir apparent to the presidential Republican nomination, John McCain. "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) told the Boston Globe. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

Obama has support of Communist Party USA


Click the link title and do a site word search to see the enthusastic support for Baraka Hussien Obama by the Communist Party USA during his campaign for Senator and now as the front runner for the Democratist Party USA.

Osama*...excuse me ... Obama has laid a plan for government control of the oil corporations and the medical establishment as a start on the road to collectivism that should have every red, white and blue freedom loving country loving patriot quaking in his/her boots.
*the names and the world view are so similar that even the beloved liberal Dave Letterman made the name transposition last week on his show!

Hawks VS Doves
Defenders VS Pacifists


The way the survivors are emerging in the Presidential primaries our country will have a clear choice between those who defend our country and those who run (running our country down is another of their pastimes). Watch Obama as he manages to "not face the flag", refuses to wear a flag lapel pen and as for Hillary it all depends on her mood swings of the moment but she has been an enemy of the military since Vietnam protest summer internships.
The GOP front runner while not as conservative as most would want is a Defender and will protect our country with his last breath.
Americans will have to come to terms with the promises of "free" health care and education being drummed by the pacifists who plan to pay for these programs by moving our tax dollars and leaving our grand ole Nation with our defence pants down.
Vote as if your freedom depends on it...it does!

Open the convention up!

Conservatives should by any means possible open up the GOP convention to the will of the delegates. The Walstreet conservatives must be pushed out of control of our party.

Dump McCain now!

Huckabee for President...

Walmart conservatives vs Walstreet conservatives


This phrase coined by Mike Huckabee campaign may well tell the story of the emerging battle for control of the GOP.
Politics as usual seems to be falling by the wayside as ole line leaders are being dropped from leadership positions nationwide. A new and vital leadership is emerging that holds to conservatism as a way of life and views compromise as a vile tactic.

Wickapedia on Mike Huckabee's politics


Main article: Political positions of Mike Huckabee
Immigration: Huckabee's immigration plan for the presidential campaign is to build the fence, increase border patrol, prevent amnesty, enforce the law on employers, establish an economic border, empower local authorities, ensure document security, discourage dual citizenship, and modernize the process of legal immigration.[156]. He says the United States' number one priority should be to secure America's borders, and supports building a 700-mile border fence.[157] He said of the border, "Police it, absolutely. Militarize it, no."[158] Huckabee supports increases in visas for highly-skilled and highly-educated applicants.[159] Huckabee does not support an end to birthright citizenship.[160]
War: Huckabee supports the ongoing War in Iraq and the troop surge.[161]
Huckabee has expressed concern that Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a distraction from the Global War on Terror.[162] Previously, he stated, "[Guantanamo is] more symbolic than it is a substantive issue because people perceive of mistreatment when in fact there are extraordinary means being taken to make sure these detainees are being given really every consideration".[163]
Social issues: Huckabee opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil unions. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Huckabee said, "There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived."[164] In 1992, Huckabee indicated that he was against homosexuals serving in the military, and did not believe that women should be allowed in combat.[165] When asked about the issues of homosexuals in the military during his presidential run, Huckabee said he would not change the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which prohibits openly gay personnel from serving. "...you don’t punish people for their attitudes," he said. "You punish them if their behavior creates a problem, and it’s already covered by the Uniform Code of Military Conduct."[166] In 1992, Huckabee said that "homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk."[167] In 2007, his view that homosexuality is sinful and not normal has not changed.[168]
Huckabee supports increasing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) from $15 billion to $30 billion over five years. He also supports more funding to fight tuberculosis and malaria.[169]
In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population.[167] In 2007, Huckabee no longer advocates such an isolation, but he stands by his earlier view, saying that in 1992 "there was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted. So we know more now than we did in 1992, all of us do -- hopefully."[168] However, by 1992 it was well known that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact.[170][167] In the same statement, Huckabee also opposed increasing federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and suggested that Hollywood celebrities should provide additional funds instead. Huckabee now supports additional funding for HIV/AIDS research.[167]
Gun control: Huckabee is against gun control.[171]
Death penalty: Huckabee supports the death penalty.[172]
Religion: Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism." Huckabee also stated "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally."[173][174][175][176] In the Third GOP Debate in June 2007, Huckabee was asked by Tom Fahey whether he believed in evolution, and he responded, in part: "I believe there is a God who was active in the creation process. Now, how did He do it, and when did He do it, and how long did He take? I don’t honestly know, and I don’t think knowing that would make me a better or a worse president ... if anybody wants to believe that they are the descendants of a primate, they are certainly welcome to do it--I don't know how far they will march that back..."[177][178] Huckabee has credited divine intervention with some of his political success.[179]
Taxes: Huckabee supports the FairTax as a replacement for the current tax system.[180]
Space program: Huckabee supports NASA, and said in November 2007 that "Whether it's the medical technologies that saved many of our lives and the lives of our families, it's the direct result from the space program. We need to put more money into space and technology exploration."[181]
In 2007, in the wake of the controversy of his ad attacking Mitt Romney, he explained that the mainstream media might be "filing a bad story" right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be "clogging up the lines" and preventing them from filing. "If that’s the case, thank you. You're doing the Lord's work."[182]

Baraka Hussien Obama runs circles around Mrs. Clinton


This web site is certainly no fan of Obama but he ran circles around Hillary Rodham-Clinton the Senator from Arkansas-New York on the California debate.
Obama who tries to be identified with the oppression on black America has no roots that grow in that direction...if fact on his white mothers side he descended from Slave Owners.
Hillary's shallow egomania nature comes thru when her feet are on the fire.

The Hollywood immorality turned out in droves to take most of the seats at the debate...so much for the lie that the democratic party cares about the "little man or woman",

The Oklahoma Centennial Heritage Collection


Published by the Poetry Society of Oklahoma 'Since 1934'
This collection of over 100 poems was edited by poet Mary M. Chase of the Society. Interest in the collection or the Society can be addressed by email to Okpoets@aol.com ...
Oklahoma Poetry website

Following is the Blogmaster's contribution to the collection from Page 79:
People of the dirt
by Jimmie Dale Martin ...republish rights to People of the Dirt granted with credit to The Oklahoma Centennial Heritage Collection 2007

When the Christians came to Oklahoma Jesus was already here

He was with all Adams race everywhere whether far or near

The Amerindians universally called Him the "Great Spirit"

His words of truth are found in all our tribes and very explicit

Love and truth and honor and family are woven thruout the land

faith and hope and charity, respect for the creator's firm hand

Adam means red man and Oklahoma means land of the red man

In Oklahoma we are blessed with direct word links to His plan

We are people of the dirt...tried by storm's wind and dust's sting

We endure the good and the bad and always know who is King

From the Arbuckles hilly ranges to the Panhandles desolation

We are red and white and black patriots...first to defend the nation

The proud Thunderbird our fighting symbol... the red bird, the Phoenix

We rise from our ashes and build anew after bombs blast

When F5 comes our way we dig in and battle it to the last

We are Okies whose grandparents waited out the wrath of dust

and fermented our grapes into fine wine of our common trust

Hospitality is our middle name and love is our girt

We are common folk ...people of the dirt

Does God damn those who damn Him?...He of course can answer for Himself.


Sally Fields in her blubbering use of cuss words invoking God's name to make an anti-male statement cost her producers tons of lost viewers and money. Women warriors and heads of state in history have not strayed far from the norms followed by their male peers. Some have been bloodthirsty and some have been great leaders.
Sally Fields appeared to have been nestled up to the wine keg for several hours before making her manophobic statements. Amazing that so few males of the non pink shade are available in High Hollywood Places. If Sally and her ilk can indoctrinate the USA population that males should be ruled by the women among us it will make it easy for the Red Chinese and the very Male dominated Russians (by whatever name they are called now) to role us over in war. The Sally Fields ilk will be the first to make the trek to Siberia for the amusement of the cold lonely miners out there.

Dear Sally...National protection is absolutely necessary so you can strut around in a dress that cost more that the average Okie makes in a year. Methinks you do not deserve the protection of our red blooded warriors. But we continue to protect idiots like you and our free speech! Grow old ungracefully! Maybe some more plastic surgery is needed?

The generations come and go from a Martin great great great grandfather who was born in Georgia and lived in Texas to his Martin descendant who lives in central Oklahoma the DNA marches on to the future. Christianity...The link that binds them...A belief in a time beyond time when we shall all be together again. As shure as the Son does shine in that day we will have the tears wiped from our eyes by our Creator and so shall we be forever...joy after joy as the ages undfold.

A day...a glorious day is coming!

Yes, "the crowning day is coming,"
and all heaven shall soon resound with the triumphant song, "Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood" (Rev 5:9).
The shameful Cross will be followed by a glorious crown, and "every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
"Mighty Victor, reign for ever,
Wear the crown so dearly won;
Never shall Thy people, never
Cease to sing what Thou hast done.
Thou hast fought Thy people's foes;
Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes!"

It is well with my soul..

Poem of my youth...composed on October 23, 2006

Tracks of a friend in the snow I have lain on the path of bone chilling fear ... watched as the death angel hovered near ... Midnight I rode the trail where black lion stalked ... my steed snorting his course stayed.. balked ... I lost my seat and the moon swirled around ... my head was the first to kiss frozen ground ... My body bounced down the Arbuckles crag ... the earth drank my blood and there I laid ... and dreamed the dream of death’s opening door ... of life unlived and path’s untracked with joy untasted ... my future my claim on living gone as I lay wasted ... but awareness came as light chased away the night ... My companion grazed close by had kept the cat away ... snow tracks around my death bed testified to his stay ... my shirt red soaked with life’s precious fluid staining the ground ... I drug my pain racked body to the saddle and started down ... past the still waiting mountain lion eyes peering from thick weeds ... the smell of my blood kept him waiting to quench his savage needs ... I looked back as he smelled my blood spilled in the snow where I lay ... then followed us for awhile before turning to find unguarded prey ... Danpatch went to equine heaven during the next season’s winter strife ... But in my dreams I still count the tracks of my friend who saved my life. . . jdm10/23/2006 based on a true occurrence with some literary license applied...My dad was a cowboy and Danpatch had been his favorite horse until he was retired to be my horse. At the time of the poem Danpatch was over twenty years old and I was 12.

Don't Tread on My Flag


We must be very concerned about who we elect as President and Commander in Chief...They must be willing to affirm the Christian roots of this country and the heritage of free enterprise and religious freedom. The must disavow any connection to any other world opinion than one that puts American interests first! They must pledge to never be the instrument of American submission to any authority that subverts the High Law of the Constitution of the United States.At the very least as a potential Commander In Chief of United States Armed Forces they must be able pass and receive a personal Top Secret Clearance background check that we demand of our defenders.God Bless the USA Keep us Free!
