July 12, 2002 ~ After many years of deep thought and consideration, I believe that I have discovered the root problem of America’s youth – and their boomer parents.

With the advent of television in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the Old Hollywood movie studios began to realize that they were going to be forced to embrace the ‘little box’. One of the ways, which this could be done, was to sell the television the broadcasting rights to the film industry’s motion picture library. After all, you could only watch Uncle Miltie, Lucy and the Honeymooners so many times. The news programs lasted about 5 minutes at first (later 15, then 30, an hour – voila’ – all day) – so there was a lot of time to fill in those eight hour broadcast days. I don’t even think that Jack Paar had been born yet, or Brittany Spears mother. Continue reading →

…and you should be too if you know what’s good for you!

Dateline October 16, 2001; 1:49 (EDT) – ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ That’s it! I’m finished – finished with all of the stupidity and apathy in this nation! Alright, we’ve been kicked – but we’re not down! But dammit, when is America and her sheople going to wake up to that fact? If this is war – then let’s start acting like it!

No, I don’t mean by running back to the movies and the ball games – although all of us need a break – I mean by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps (if you young punks even know what I’m talking about) and getting about the business of BEING Americans! Stop the whining and the sniveling – and stop being so damned self centered. The media has done this to you and you have layed down in the ‘Strawberry Fields’ for what seems like forever – that you can’t even get up because TV and the talking heads have ruled your lives for so long – that you have become brain-dead. Pull the life support for Heaven’s sake. Cut the umbilical cord to the damned government and stand up on your own two feet. Continue reading →

“We are called as a people, to give testimony, in the sight of the world, to our faith that the future shall belong to the free – for history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower – Washington, D.C., January 20, 1953

the American Revolution

We had our American Revolution over two centuries ago and the years have done something to it. The legends remain, and the statues and the grassy earthworks and the great body of tradition, but a good deal of the reality has been filtered out – revised! When we look back to see Washington crossing the Delaware on a cold winter night, or kneeling in prayer in the snow of Valley Forge; we see the Minutemen, or a lanky Virginian rifleman picturesque in fringed buckskin; but somehow it all seems out of a pageant, and neither Washington nor the men who followed him quite come alive for us.

You had better find the time – cause it’s getting short!

On the first day, which this article was posted (Oct. 16, 2002), for the first time – The Federal Observer shut down every column unrelated to protecting YOUR 2nd Amendment rights as a statement of anger and frustration. I’m still angry and I’m still frustrated. Although the visitation to this article has been greater than any we have ever posted, I am concerned that few truly understand the ramifications of that, which lays before us.

I’ve had just about enough of the garbage-that-passes-for-news eminating from the anti-gun networks. Do you think that I jest? For over one week – FOX News Channel has reported nothing but the sniper shootings in D.C. (That’s District of Criminals’ for those of you who don’t understand initials.) We’ve gone from the unknown sniper to a person of possible ‘olive complextion‘. Continue reading →

May 13, 2002 – A leftover saying from the ‘60’s – got your attention, didn’t I?

The Federal Observer Editor wastes 28+ years of his life on the air.

Unfortunately, they’re not the only things left-over from the decade of peace & love. During that decade we saw the birth of ”free love”, forgetting that with everything – there is a price to pay. The nation has become steeped in moral decay – as the epidemic of AIDS has spread world-wide. Some say that it was a virus developed in the U.S., others say that it was caused by monkeys and still others who believe that it was caused by the rampant spread of deviant sexual behavior. Does it really matter at this point what the cause?

As a nation, We the People of the United States of America never seem to heed the lessons of history. Sodom and Gomorra set the stage so long ago – and yet today – anything seems to go in America – and we, as a society have turned to stone. Our schools have become proving grounds for alternative sex-education classes. Our children are being taught to accept anything, which is considered outside the norm. Homosexuality is now openly being taught in the government run ‘fool’ system – sanctioned and promoted by administrations who got their education during that same tumultuous decade – all the while parents sit at home and do nothing. I guess that their parents had taken too many drugs, thereby transferring the dead brain-cells to their children. Continue reading →

July, 8, 2002: Phoenix, AZ – The 226th anniversary of the birth of our Republic has passed with minimal incident (unless you want to count some rag-head who was p.o.’d in Los Angeles for as yet unknown reasons – although livin’ in LA is enough to piss anyone off). This ‘holiday’ has become a shadow of its former self – only beer, bar-b-que, a few scattered parades and media networks broadcasting from Boston and DC, with little understanding of the meaning of independence – other than the freedom to make a buck. Do we put aside this 4th of July nonsense for another year only to be reawakened with a false sense of patriotic pride when another four-day weekend comes upon us? Or do we remember and LIVE the words of the Founding Fathers each day? For if we don’t take heed and become more aware of the devestation being plied upon this land by those who are supposed to be our representative voices across the nation – then the next Independence Day may never arrive – unless we Wake the F*%# up!

…on The Aftermath of Terrorism

Jeffrey Bennett

I am a constitutional citizen of this sovereign nation, a voter, and a taxpayer. I served honorably in the armed forces of this nation for 20 years through war in Asia, police actions in Grenada, Panama, and the action in Kuwait/Iraq. I retired an enlisted man 10 years ago and have worked in the private sector, running my own business. I generate a good amount of money for the various governments I have empowered through my continued support, those being Federal, State & Local. I am neither an idiot nor a coward. I believe in our blessed savior, Jesus Christ. I have raised four children during all of this. My point is that I have comported my life as was expected of me by the society we have forged together. There are many who have not, most notably, your selves. Continue reading →
