The First Time

I am Jonathan Phillip Martin. I was born in the fleeting years of President Regan, yet I did not care. I saw the first Bush and Clinton get elected,and yet I did not care. I was being a kid, a teenager. My Father, Mother, Step-mother, and the rest of my extended family were raising me to be an American, not a republican or a Democrat. And I never cared about it.

Then September 11, 2001 happened.

I was in my Freshman year in High school. I remember that day better then any other day in my life, and just as well as my youngest brother's birth. That day, when my father picked me up from school, my father had on the Radio, like every other American. From that day, if I have been near a Radio, it has been on, so I could hear as much news as possible.

On the weeks after 9-11, I thought the political world was that way, people working together to hunt the bastards that killed 3000 Americans. Then I saw the world as it really was, Left and Right. So I asked my Father what Party he belonged to. He told me "It doesn't mater what I am, it maters what you believe in." So I did my homework, and found myself to be very, very right.

Yet, although I am a conservative, I am not a republican, at least not part of the party of today. They have moved to the center, I will not. So here, on this humble and quite Blog, I invite all of you that are like me. People whose political place is firm, but there party is not. Like Gov. Pailin said "My Bible in Governing is the Constitution" It is mine as well, and here, I will defend it, and all my thoughts, beliefs and stances.

So i welcome all of you, those who will stand with me or against me, and let us have the debate and let this be the battleground for the Constitution
