The Valiant Man - A Sad and Fitting Farewell Fifty Years Ago Today

  So when a great man dies,
  For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
  Upon the paths of men.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Fifty years ago today the greatest man of our age, Sir Winston Churchill, died at the age of  90.  This moving video made by Mr. Gregory Benton, author of the thoughtful and beautiful Piddingworth blog, is a fitting tribute to the great man and includes scenes from his state funeral on January 30, 1965.

Governor Scott Walker for President


There are several solidly conservative political figures who are prospective candidates for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.  Much as we like and applaud several of them and their rhetoric, we have determined that only Governor Scott Walker combines solid, executive experience, an extraordinary winning record in a blue state, the achievement of beating state and national unions who waged a fierce and costly campaign for his recall, a flawless record of fiscal responsibility in turning a bankrupt state around and creating a climate of growth and economic opportunity, and a demonstrated commitment to social and economic conservatism.

The nation desperately needs a radical restoration of Constitutional principles, a much smaller federal government that operates within Constitutional limits, a new era of states' rights and the return of individual freedom and opportunity.  Governor Walker has demonstrated the ability to forge broad support for these conservative ideals.  He is the leader needed at a dark hour in our history, whose experience, abilities and personality will provide the spark needed for a revolutionary rebirth of American freedom and greatness.

Please visit and "Like" the new FaceBook page we recently created to support Governor Walker in South Carolina's "First in the South" presidential primary.  You may also find of interest this article from American Thinker.

Join us in supporting a candidate worthy of America's history and her people.

Lindsey Graham for President?


Is there a member of the United States Senate who doesn't look in the mirror in the morning and see a future President of the United States?  The most laughable of the egotistically deluded must surely be our own Lindsey Graham.  He wants to determine if there is a "viable path" to the nomination.

While the presidential standard has been seriously lowered in recent years, surely it is not this low.  We'd like to suggest to the traitorous RINO that he look to the party and those voters who secure his election in South Carolina - the Democrats.  But even they are likely to suggest that he go to the back of the line.  Or maybe he can have his friends Mike Huckabee and John McCain cut some ads telling us what a conservative he is.  

It will be fun watching Republicans, all over America, handing him his big head.
