As an Air Force veteran and former LEO, I am deeply patriotic and love my country passionately. I can not sit idly by and watch this great nation turned into some kind of third world wasteland by people who seek to destroy America as it was created. I also feel that “Political Correctness” which is based in Marxism, is a huge threat to our survival. Those seeking to implement Socialism/Communism have no clue what that would even mean as they lack the historical knowledge and education to form an educated conclusion. Typically, they are simply acting out of hatred based on the indoctrination and misguided ideology that they embrace. Why can’t they move to Venezuela or Cuba and fix those countries instead of trying to destroy ours?

I started the Sardonic Scribe blog, www.sardonicscribe.com and the Patriot Pig, www.patriotpig.us sites to counter the leftist/progressive ideology that threatens us in every way. Visit them often.
