"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that they preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Franklin
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." James Madison
I know not what course others may take; but for me, give me Liberty or give me death! Patrick HenryConservatives, join the fight or stop complaining.

The left/ Progressives are decades ahead of us in the action arena, but we’re the smart and productive ones. We’re motivated by freedom and they are motivated by lust for power, so we’re on the side of righteousness. Justice and equal opportunity should be the standard, not chosen by the elite. We are lovers of life and they are the purveyors of death. We are the people who want decency and they’re selling social pornography. We want to live our own lives and they want to force us to live the way of their choosing. We believe in God and trust in His Providence and they mock and scorn us for it, preferring to play god themselves.
I’ve decide enough talking and complaining and have gotten involved in a couple local groups in Cincinnati that are working hard to be in position to affect the next election cycle. The Cincinnati Tea Party, the 912 Project, and in a very limited way, the Campaign for Liberty, the John Birch Society and Ohio Freedom Alliance. Thus I haven’t been posting except mostly on my Facebook page. If you care to join me there, search for Roger Titkemeyer. I don’t post going to the store or mowing the grass, just much like you’d find here only in shorter versions as FB has word limits.
Please, find somewhere to plug in and get active. The midterm elections are coming way faster than we want to believe. We CAN and MUST make a difference or I’m afraid this Grand Experiment will join the rest in the history books.
Our grandchildren may not know what it was like to live as we have – free to prosper or to fail, free to live where we choose, drive what we choose and choose what we do for a living.
Ronald Reagan: (several more available here in the archives.)
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children through the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
