Founding Fathers

There can be no doubt, the Founding Fathers were among the elite of a young nation. At the time many were exceptional and provocative intellectuals by the standard of their era. However brilliant as they were, the Founders were not motivated to be historically recast as secular saints.
Some people choose to run for public office because they feel slighted by their incumbent opponent of local government and seek to stick it to incumbency.

On Maurice White,
The deceitful thing about words is that they can have multiple meanings. Words take on connotations because of the way people use them. In that sense, yes, a “constitutionalist” could be considered anyone who advocates the defense and protection of the American Constitution.

Sierra Lutheran High School sophomore Annalynn Mueller was honored Monday during a surprise ceremony at the school for taking second in the nation in the Fleet Reserve Association’s (FRA) Americanism Essay Contest.

It was 150 years ago this month when one of Nevada's most treasured artifacts first arrived in Carson City.

Charters of Freedom Carson City, a permanent installation displaying bronze-plated replicas of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, was dedicated Thursday afternoon on the Carson City Courthouse plaza, 885 East Musser Street in Carson City.

This is a composite photo of several Carson City Fireworks pictures celebrating the birth of the first and most singular Democratic Republic in the history of the world. Let us celebrate today the end of an American dark age that has trampled our liberties for almost eight years. Let every patriot celebrate our Independence Day and later, this fall, reignite the Liberty torch that also celebrates our Independents Day where We The People reaffirm the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.

Thin Veil Investigators Host A Cemetery Picnic "Lawn Chairs Among The Tombstones" October 10, 2015 3:00 - 5:00 pm at Lone Mountain Cemetery, 1044 Beverly Drive, Carson City.

Here we are again! Our Dayton "Cemetery Picnic" was such a Huge Success, we are hosting another event for our October agenda.

Lone Mountain Cemetery in Carson City has many Nevada founding fathers and mothers resting here. Come on and join the fun in learning their history, the cemetery's history, and the meanings of tombstone carvings.

The summer of 1776 must not have been much different from other summers gone and yet to come: Hot, muggy and miserable for those who had to work out in it. And in 1776 that included most people.

Like any other summer, that particular one 239 years ago was alive with fragrances in full bloom; the sounds of children playing in fields of wild flowers, and splashing about in creeks and ponds where it was cool; young animals frolicking in the fields; men and women toiling in their gardens and on their farms; and the happy songs of birds, crickets and frogs relishing in the summer solstice.

If Our Founding Fathers Were Alive Today…

“If the Founding Fathers were alive to today they would”… (Insert your non-substantiated belief here: ______________ to complete your specious argument.)

“The Founding Fathers believed…” (Insert what your non-substantiated belief here: ________as to what the Founding Fathers’ believed to prove your specious argument.)

In a recent trip out of town, I found myself forced to face an ugly truth. I was beginning to let all the negativity in the news move my subconscious mind away from living in the positive side. As a cancer survivor, I can tell you that thinking negatively is bad for your body.

As a business owner, the key to the success of my business, and anybody else’s too, is what attitude we set for everybody who works with us. Just like our personal body, a negative attitude in our business is also bad for our business. If we have a great attitude, surprise, others seem to have one too.

It started out as one of those lazy days in Carson City, where it’s not too hot, but it’s not too cold!

It’s just right!

But, when the mercury begins to creep into the triple digits, I am glad I take advantage of the cooler temperatures early in the summer season, because I hate to cook on my patio when it is 100 degrees in the shade!

This is the reason I go straight to my favorite BBQ restaurant for my semi-annual feasting of pork ribs, with corn bread, cole slaw and beans, coupled with my favorite adult libation.

I told you so, again and again for four years. OK, so Obama did not cancel the elections; he did one better, he put the veneer of the "will of the people" on it. Voting is the best revenge...? He never had to say, against whom.

In the United States a political party does not become the majority party in this country by becoming ideologically pure. They become the majority by becoming larger, inclusive, and superior to their political opponents not only in size, but should also be anchored in and unafraid of intellectual and discursive dialogue, devoid of reactionary emotionalism. Then and only then, can conservatism present and extend to the electorate our concepts in such a way that we will be accepted by the majority of our fellow citizens.

I have a friend here in Carson City who will soon be losing her home. She's not the first, and probably not the last.

She bought her house back near the height of the boom. It's a fairly small, modest home, but fits her needs almost perfectly. At the time, her income from her sales job easily covered her mortgage and expenses. Times were good.

Groups, clubs, business, schools, families or individuals can participate in this 2 mile walk. Along the way you will experience events, principles and oaths that remind us of the purpose of keeping alive the original Constitution created by the Founding fathers.

After the walk you can purchase food, join in fun activities, while gaining a deeper appreciation for the principles of freedom and liberty the Constitution provides.

RENO – For the three leading Republican candidates seeking the Congressional District 2 seat vacated with the appointment of Dean Heller to the U.S. Senate, it was all about qualifications and experience in a debate held here Wednesday.
State Republican Party Chairman Mark Amodei, a former state senator, state Sen. Greg Brower, appointed to fill the seat formerly held by retired Sen. Bill Raggio, and retired Navy commander Kirk Lippold, faced off ahead of a GOP meeting Saturday in Sparks that could determine which candidate will get the party nod.

CARSON CITY – Oral arguments in the ongoing legal challenge of the national health care law by 26 states including Nevada are set for June 8 before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Ga.

Friendly ghosts will lead tours along Carson City’s historic Kit Carson Trail offering tales of the city’s haunted Victorian homes and buildings along two different routes. The “Friends in Low Places” guided cemetery tour is a new addition to the annual festivities, Oct. 22 - 23.

These days, I get a chuckle when I see people engaging in philosophical debates over health care reform, or "socialized medicine" as opponents call it.

I understand and respect the positions of those who think government should not be a part of the health care system, that the free market will fix everything. It's an interesting philosophical position, but it faces the brick wall of reality.

WASHINGTON - The Founding Fathers left one legacy not celebrated on Independence Day but which affects us all. It's the national debt.
