‘Patriot Up’ Like In, ‘Cowboy Up’
By Rich Loudenback
In rodeos when a horse or bull bucks a rider off, telling him to “Cowboy up!” means something like:
“Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, hold your head high, and don’t let getting thrown defeat you.”
The idea is to show the grit to face another ride despite the setback. Today, people could use it for almost any difficult situation: “Gather your courage and keep going.”
PATRIOT: ‘A person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.’
PATRIOTIC PRESIDENT TRUMP, SO FAR
President Trump has created a remarkable number of accomplishments in his first term, see: Trump Administration Accomplishments as of 2021.
Then check out a remarkable website that covers all his accomplishments and related documents in just his first 20 months into his second term at The American Presidency Project, which is remarkable!
But it must also be said, who amongst us is perfect, not even Trump. He has perhaps abused his executive power some, for what most might be considered the right reasons, because our congress is like an un-American outfit, including too many legislators on the right. As Commander-in-Chief, Trump took charge to protect us from the crazy ‘Death to America’ Iranian Mullahs for the right reason, which Congress wouldn’t deal with. It needed being dealt with and still needs finishing by killing the hierarchy who will rather die than quit following their sworn to 7th century globalist roots based on an ideology of primitive Islamist fundamentalism that dictates that they must conquer the world and kill all infidels.
OUR CONSTITUTION: THE ROOTS OF AMERICA’S GREATNESS
The roots of America’s greatness are deeply steeped in the wisdom of our Constitution. Our many successes stem from applying that very rule of law, which protects the freedoms for personal ambition and the unrestrained competitive prowess for our commerce.
Enemies and detractors include those who would take this very lifeblood from our warm bodies while we are still alive (NOW) as well as those who would take our liberty and our guns from our cold dead hands.
Turncoat politicians are truly becoming those very enemies and detractors who are allowing and creating our demise by not upholding their oaths to our Constitution yet acting like they’ve been working for us while spending endlessly, creating enormous unconstitutional micromanaging agencies and bureaucracies putting tens of thousands of restraining regulations on us, passing too many laws restricting our freedoms and ruining our commerce often with marching orders from the devious ‘Deep State’ Council On Foreign Relations (CFR) in lockstep with the corrupt United Nations (UN), World Economic Forum (WEF) and many fraudulent NGO’s (Non-Government Organizations).
WHAT WE HAVE NOW IN CONGRESS
Congress’s dereliction of its responsibilities to our Constitution and thus to our people is happening because we are letting it happen. We are sitting by watching our elected representatives who took an oath to protect our Constitution and follow the law abdicate their sworn responsibilities. They are traveling down a perverse path following the edicts of the ‘wrong people’—i.e., the power brokers and CFR/UN/WEF/NGO’s orchestrated party machines with ulterior designs diametrically opposed to the continuation of our republic.
These very legislators are truly traitors to their oaths and thusly these United States. They need to be removed from office without haste at the ballot boxes to be replaced with genuine patriots who do the bidding of the citizens’ Constitution because they take their oaths very seriously.
ARE YOU AWAKENING YET?
If you’re not feeling almost overwhelmed by all the news, we’re exposed to regarding national and state issues, then God help us because you’re either ‘tuned out’ from not caring enough or just can’t listen anymore. Either way, this inattentiveness and inaction is the biggest problem in America today! America’s waning future cries for its citizens’ attention and involvement.
Without asserted pressure from enough citizens these bad/corrupt elected officials will just keep on letting America dissolve away from our Constitutional based freedoms and commerce until we simply are no more. Believe it! The insanity of Socialism and its redistribution is that it kills revenue producing commerce and eventually there’s just not enough of other peoples’ money.
Most Americans don’t like our current reality. But it is what it is. And America as we’ve known it is going away because young citizens were indoctrinated with a lack of or false history and college professors are totally indoctrinating their students into socialism/communism and even Islamism They might say, ‘Hail to the great Karl Marx and our former Muslim President Barack Hussein Obama.’ We should truly fear the results from this election concerning young voters and their turnout. God help us and get everyone you know to Patriot Up and vote.
AMERICA MUST BE RESTORED
To restore America in line with the original tenets of our Constitution we must first accept one absolute fact. Socialism fails and capitalism succeeds. Simple as that. The late, not so great Soviet Union’s socialist citizens experienced a life with guarantees for all life’s necessities, meager as it was: Education, housing (make that an apartment), a job, Medical Care & Retirement. Literally everything was decided and taken care of by the government. Missing, however, was one basic ingredient to make it all work.
Work. Work that would have provided the money that would have come from taxes had Government Controls not stifled the environment for entrepreneurs and investors to thrive. Government magic was an illusion.
What has made America run is vibrant business in the free marketplace of a capitalist system. Productivity and its subsequent profit are absolutely necessary for our success as a nation.
True freedom is pure capitalism. Capitalism is the freedom to succeed in starting a business or investment and cannot and must not provide ‘subsidized’ guarantees for those who attain less. Failure is a well-learned lesson, and one moves on, strengthened from the experience. One can strive to achieve everything desired or adjust to the levels of accomplishment attained. Businesses that accountably make a profit, subsequently creating commerce and providing jobs are the root sources of all government funding. A growing economy that creates more taxpayers will bring in more revenue than higher tax rates and new taxes which conversely hurt us.
And perhaps our most important project should be to abolish our current travesty in education. We must eliminate the corrupt and I say probably treasonous teachers’ unions. We must return to teaching authentic history, exit all Common Core studies—such as their nonsensical math—and teach cursive writing again. Then find a way to charge college professors for their treasonous efforts to indoctrinate students in unpatriotic Socialism, Islamism, and Anti-Semitism, all of which aim at taking down America. I do believe the professors could be charged with some sort of violation to our constitution bordering on treason.
WHAT WE MUST DO!
Go to “The Freedom Index at JBS.org’ where there’s a very simple method for identifying which elected representatives need replacing in our state legislators and in Congress in Washington. For the U.S. Congress, use the “Congressional Scorecard Based on the U.S. Constitution,” which rates congressmen based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements.
In this second 6-month session of the 119th Congress just reported in August 2026, the scores are derived by dividing a congressman’s constitutional votes (pluses) by the total number he cast (pluses and minuses) and multiplying by 100. The average House score for this index is 40 percent (64 percent for the Republicans and 16 percent for the Democrats), and the average Senate score is 38 percent (52 percent for the Republicans and 22 percent for the Democrats) here is how abysmally our congressmen and senators in Washington, D.C. voted with the Constitution: U.S. House 44% and U.S. Senate 47%. So, there you see now why we are where we are.
Don’t count on a thing politicians say, only believe what you see and judge them on how they vote!
The terrible voting records revealed in the two The Freedom Indexes, is exactly the explanation for why we are rapidly becoming a socialistic society and our Republic is in danger of evolving into losing our national sovereignty and becoming first a member state of a regional government, the North American Union overseen by the corrupt UN, and then a world government run by unaccountable, unelected global power elitists who know what’s best for us.
IT’S ‘COWBOY UP’ TIME!
Are you going to just sit idly and continue luffing in the wind or are you going to ‘Patriot Up’ and help put a stop to the insanity and nonsense of both our sorry Congress and this ‘socialistic steering,’ by the now crazy ‘Commucrats,’ (my word).
Disgusted Americans want to act, but are feeling so overwhelmed they just can’t envision how they can make a difference. The answer begins with getting educated on the facts, informing others and then replacing the turncoats with genuinely effective patriots. Get educated by joining The John Birch Societyl
