Who We Are:

Patriotism is defined today by personal observation, which makes it relative to a person's perspective. But Patriotism is not about the person, it is about the country. It is about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It is also high-time, those who are unable to see a cause greater than self, are held accountable for the choice they have made. The Constitution protects the rights of the individual in order to create a more perfect union. Misconstruing that union as nothing but the political parts is national suicide. Patriotism is not fence sitting. It is a binary state. One is either patriotic and view the nation as a whole greater than the sum of its citizens, or they view the nation as a nothing but the sum of its citizens. It is the latter, this site is designed to expose. Patriots are identified. Traitors are marked.

We are a couple who had enough: five years ago. We took a stand and have been standing ever since. We are patriots in the strongest sense of that word. We happen to be Conservative Republicans. We are Patriots FIRST. We are, Lee & Suesie Kent Hempfling, of Apache Junction, Arizona. Back in the roll up to the first Gulf War, Lee was program director for a radio station in Beaufort North Carolina. The station was located along the travel path of Marines heading to the LST's at the water front, heading off to an upcoming war in the middle east. A radio promotion was created immediately to distribute yellow ribbons throughout the listening area. The station managed to enlist the assistance of the state's Governor in the creation of 'Military Families Day' and held a celebration with military brass and politicians at the area where Marines were loading up, to ship off. Hollywood's most talented set decorator (Knots Landing) flew in on his own dime, to set the stage for the celebration. When he returned he took the yellow ribbon with him and the country began diplaying them from both coasts. Five years ago, in 2002, Lee tried to enforce federal law. The resulting disaster is documented on the web. We stood up then for the rule of law and now, we stand up for what has kept us standing ever since: the country we both love. We agree with Justice Kennedy in that the jury is still out on this nation's adherence to the rule of law, but we know why. We will never back down.

Alec Baldwin Democrat Sorosite Actor

Called for the stoning of Henry Hyde. Claimed the 2000 election was as bad as 9/11. Keeps ranting.

 -   -   - 

John Batiste Democrat X-General

While serving, Generals report to civilian authority. After serving, some self-serving generals ignore civilian authority and pronounce their opinions by attacking civilian authority. This is one such general. Not only is it out of tradition, it is out of bounds. Retirement does not give generals policy making authority. Their opinions do not matter. But they do hurt the national security posture. This man is the front mouth of VoteVets.Org.
