Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 97:10
NOTE: This is from my archives (2005). As my readers will know, my values have remained consistent over time. This website has always been dedicated to defending Liberty and God-given unalienable rights.
Since 2005, there is no doubt that the threats to our Liberty have grown far more widespread and sinister.
Witness the expanding evils:
Burgeoning groups of Leftists, who destroy everything they touch. (Socialism, Communism, Marxism)
Wokeism: gender ideology, abortion, CRT, DEI, BLM, ANTIFA, open borders for the invasion of all and sundry, gun control
Massive open promotion of pornography, and sexualization of children, even in the school curriculum
Jew-haters run rampant, spreading vile propaganda, including in government and churches
Increasing infiltration of Islam (Jihadis, Sharia law) into government
Just to name a short list...but even worse, the members of these groups are forming unholy alliances. Their goal is to destroy the sovereignty of this Constitutional Republic and replace it with a totalitarian one-world government.
Nothing new under the sun, but nobody can tell me these evils have not multiplied and expanded since this piece was written.
The question is: Who will stand up against the evildoers?

For all the Real Patriots I have known, those who are still with us, and in memory of those who have passed away.
Remembering What is Real
From Hartwell Archives, June, 2005
A Real Patriot loves his country and the principles on which it was founded, despite the corruption of its government.
A Real Patriot knows beyond a shadow of doubt that his/her rights and liberties are bestowed by God (whatever religion or lack thereof.)
A Real Patriot recognizes Individual Rights as the Soul of Freedom.
A Real Patriot respects the individual rights, personal boundaries and spiritual integrity of others. He thus recognizes the Inviolability of Personhood.
A Real Patriot despises Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Democracy, Utopianism or any form of collectivism as a basis for government.
A Real Patriot seeks Liberty and Justice for All and pursues the goal singlemindedly, whatever it takes, no matter the personal circumstances or hardship; no matter the consequences to himself.
A Real Patriot will not compromise his principles for any reason, including political or personal expediency.
A Real Patriot spends his time fighting tyranny, wherever he finds it, in whatever ways he is capable.
A Real Patriot exposes government corruption, wherever he finds it, from the lowest to the highest level.
A Real Patriot seeks the truth and gathers facts before disseminating information to others.
A Real Patriot supports others (in whatever ways possible) who have proven by their actions that they are standing up for their country.
A Real Patriot does not waste time in petty sniping matches and arguing over minutiae, especially of a subjective/personal nature.
A Real Patriot does not plant the seeds of suspicion, sow discord or engage in bashing and trashing other sincere patriots, especially with gratuitous and unsubstantiated name-calling.
A Real Patriot should have no trouble agreeing to disagree with others on secondary issues, as long as there is agreement and solidarity on the main issue: Defending Liberty and the God-given unalienable rights protected and guaranteed under the United States Constitution.
A Real Patriot backs up his words by taking action and encourages others to do so.
A Real Patriot sets an example which will inspire others to stand up for their rights and their country, rather than seeking followers.
A Real Patriot loves liberty so much that he is willing to fight to the death, if necessary, and truly knows in his heart that death is far preferable to slavery.
A Real Patriot knows that when the government has become rotten to the core, it is time for a Revolution.
There can be no Revolution, whatever form that takes, without Real Patriots uniting to defend their God-given, unalienable, Constitutionally protected and guaranteed rights.
