I have written two reviews of Allie Winegar Duzett’s new book How to Save America A Tactical Guide for Practical patriots. You can find my Amazon review of the book here and my review for Lunch.com is here.
No matter which review you choose, it is an excellent book at an excellent price by a remarkable young lady.
You can view my interview of A. E. Duzett for the Field guide here.

Dianne talked to me at the 9/11 rally at the Washington Monument
Unlike most people Dianne a trucker approached me rather than me approaching her. That had never happened before other than two ladies on the Metro who were going to a ball game.
When you have atheists and Catholics questioning Obama on stuff like this…

…then there is a real problem:
The idea of natural rights is only a philosophy. At its core is the idea that we are owners of our own person. The alternative is that we are owned by other individuals or owned by a collective (the State). If we are not “endowed by [our] Creator” with these rights, from whence do they come?
The upsetting question is not whether Obama believes in God, or whether he’s an Atheist—I don’t care about that at all. The upsetting question is this: If Obama doesn’t believe we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, then what is his explanation for the source of the endowment? I have an awful feeling in my gut that his answer is “the government.”
We go from Pellucidation to Gateway Pundit and Jim Hoff:
What a shock.
Barack Obama dropped “that are endowed by our Creator” from the Declaration of Independence in a speech he gave this past week.
Other than the fact both of these bloggers are part of DaTechGuy’s field guide to bloggers you don’t get much more different than a Transgendered atheist and a Devout Roman Catholic, when both are on the same page here you know there is trouble.
How much trouble? This much:

How powerful is the wave that is heading toward capital hill? So powerful that it has actually driven Barack Obama to Church!
