A Renaissance in Patriotism: A Series of Blogs by Blockhead (1)

As of today, I have decided to start my first ‘series’ of blogs, whereas there is much to be said. 

After posting an earlier blog, a good friend and excellent writer reached out to me in the comments section (see previous blog history to see her words verbatim). Allow me to highlight some of her words that stood out to me the most at this time:
“Freedom and honor and patriotism stand on the brink of oblivion. Only those with the fortitude to defend it can drag it back…”

I appreciate her thanking me for “standing in the gap and keeping the darkness at bay”, but I also appreciate you readers who will join us in this journey. The author of War and Peace Leo Tolstoy’s diary entry December 1900 reads as follows: “To be able to affect others, an artist has to be an explorer, and his work of art has to be a quest. If he has discovered everything, knows everything, and is just preaching or entertaining, he makes no effect. Only if he keeps searching, then the viewer, or listener, or reader fuses with him in his search.”

I want you, the reader, to thoroughly understand before going any further that I am intending to be as blunt and straight-forward with these blogs as I possibly can be. I do not have all of the answers to how we can purposefully grab the ‘sheets’ of the sailboat that we shall call, for now, the S.S. Inner Compass, turn the sails of our nation back towards the destination of Patriotism, USA that is at our 5 o’clock while we lazily coast towards the isle of Complacency and Bigotry, Parts Unknown that is on the horizon at our 12 o’clock. As we drift aimlessly on the gentle waves, the same plane soars overhead that I mentioned in my podcast (see link below to listen) that hold aboard the tyrant, entitled brat and sociopath I spoke of. Imagine if you are the pilot in this plane…Both of us have a difficult decision to make, don’t we?

Manny Scott writes in his blog the following: “…God is not a genie you or I can rub and get stuff from.  God is not some casino owner who is about to just give us some big jackpot.” Now, my faith walk is very important me. I also realize by reading this that my faith in God, along with prayer for this nation without any works and any struggles to keep the darkness of racial discrimination, bigotry, hatred, ignorance and lack of patriotism at bay will be fruitless. If you have taken the time to read this far into this blog, I sincerely hope that you too will join me on this trek.

Stay tuned for Part 2... (link for podcast is below)

Lion of Judah

So, our good friend Snoop Dogg has now changed his name to Snoop Lion, and is redirecting his sights on a new reggae album. Odd. Every time someone in the city had been interviewed on what they would like to say to Snoop Lion, the cynical laughter and scoffing begins. Hey, perhaps his “reinvention” is sincere. His visit to Jamaica certainly seems to have revolutionized his way of thinking. One evening, I started laughing about it with my wife, and was struck by an idea I had to get down as soon as possible. I started thinking about the significance of the King of Beasts, the lions in our own lives. We are all familiar with that great scene from The Lion King , as Mufasa speaks to Simba from the heavens. “Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king.” This is an improbable spectacle of virtue, pride, and rule. It is almost a display of sovereignty, don’t you think? However, the lion that I actually wanted to talk with you is even greater. Aslan, the Lion of Narnia. ...

The Voice of Reason and the Voice of Men

Blockhead is going to go ahead and get his affiliate plugs out there early because I have a lot I wish to write about today. Hang in there with me, readers! First and fore most… Blockhead wants to save you some cash this New Year. I promise! Instead of several daily trips to Starbucks (often referred to as Five Bucks), why not consider your own fresh brew at home that looks more like 25 cents a cup? Then consider Koa Coffee from the Koa Coffee Plantation in Hawaii, “ where every bean is picked by hand, harvesting only when the beans are cherry red, and no mechanical harvesting that would mix in bitter green beans so that every roast is sure the have the taste of Aloha spot on, every time. Koa Coffee has always been dedicated to offering the finest Kona Coffee experience, while also sharing the beauty and Aloha of the Hawaiian Islands. 100% pure Kona Coffee from the Kona Coffee Belt is distinguishable from all other coffees by its unique island microclimate. ” The most beautiful fl...
