First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Anthony Flores, I live in Rapid City, South Dakota and I just love to stir things up, oh, I mean write. I start this site and blog for many reasons, one, I would like someday to earn my living as a writer and hope to use this blog to get my name and work out there. Second, the blog is a way of expressing my views in the hope that those who agree and disagree with me will engage in a vigorous debate. Not always will my blogs be political but the direction of this country is important to me. I am a conservative who loves the history of our country; my two historical hero’s are George Washington and Jackie Robinson. It is refreshing in today’s world when I hear someone’s hero is a founding father. Baseball is my favorite sport and reading what Jackie Robinson did and the lives he changed during his tenure with the Brooklyn Dodgers is a story each American should read. I look forward to hearing from all of you, if you are someone I have asked to check out my site that does not get “into” blogs or leaving comments please send a friend, left or right, who enjoys this kind of thing. Please email me if you would like to be notified when I write an article, freedom@anthonydflores.com or visit my website donttreadonme1776.com I will be writing at least once a week on Wednesday by 5pm eastern time. I am currently in my senior year of college so once I graduate I will be able to spend even more time on my blog. 

The fight today is progressive versus founding principles in my opinion. The progressives believe we need experts to tell us, or “nudge” us in the right direction. I believe in the individual, it will not be government that gets us out of our problems, it will be you and me. The American spirit is dying in this country as the government grows and grows telling people it will take care of them. That kind of thinking will keep us mediocre at best, it is time to stand up and let government know the individual will lead us out of the economic crisis and many other problems, so, simply put, just get out of our way!

Yes, Glenn Beck is my inspiration, so those on the left, come, try and convince me the error of my ways, for the rest of you who love America for who and what we are, help me show those on the left the error of their ways!

God bless you and yes, God bless America!
