Make your choice count

“You are free to choose but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.” Many in these United States do not understand or appreciate how many humans around the world are not free to choose for fear of imprisonment or death. The greatness of America has allowed each […]

You are the Voice

jason kraus

Let us forge ahead in this new year, leaders by example with the truth as our shining light, our beacon in the night, and our strongest weapon. It is the strength of one voice, the American individual, that propels freedom forward. You are this voice that resonates and permeates the […]

The Eyes of the Vietnam Veteran

jason kraus

Born in 1970 I was almost five years old when the Vietnam War ended.  I cannot point to one particular event or occasion per se, but as those of you who’ve read Late Bird know, even as a young child I felt a fierce loyalty to Vietnam Veterans.  Maybe it […]

Recently through Skype I was interviewed again by Michael Higgins and Darcy Savage.  Wonderful people to speak with and I strongly suggest everyone find Michael’s page at VoxPopuli.

CNN, Clinton, and the Klan

They aren’t Blood

jason kraus

I’ve listened to Hillary Clinton call herself a hawk and John McCain’s answer to Iran given in song. “Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran”. Obama’s red line or Ric Santorum’s plan to “bomb them back to the seventh century”. It doesn’t matter the Party anymore. Politicians making threats others will […]
