Of Fisherman and Preachers

We are becoming socialists. Is that ok with you?

Reality Today Includes Trade-offs In the ‘perfect world’ expounded on endlessly from utopian progressives who control the media, Hollywood and the sorry socialist education system to which we’ve been subjugated, they are constantly demanding fairness, assistance, social justice and re-distribution.

It’s ‘TEA TIME!’ for Congress

The ‘Fed Up’ of today’s patriots is compounded by Big Government’s extreme overreach of its enumerated powers dissolving our freedoms and commerce with overwhelming quantities of new laws, regulations and taxes.
