John Rourke is the owner and editor of 1776PatriotUSA.com. He has been interested in preparedness since his teenage years in the mid-80’s.

John is an author, father, and Patriot with a deep concern for the future of this country. He believes an “American Reformation” is inevitable.

John’s goal with 1776PatriotUSA and corresponding entities is to help as many American’s wake up to what is coming – and live their life a little more prepared.

This is a website for true Americans. Freedom-loving Patriots.

1776PatriotUSA.com will cover a variety of topics including the state of America, current events, adventure, firearms, fitness, preparedness, and living life. This unique combination of topics will provide something for just about everyone.

It doesn’t take a degree in Rocket Science to see that the world is becoming a more dangerous place to live every day.  Threats from Islamic terrorists are now the norm. Natural disasters seem to be on the increase. Economic instability threatens the welfare of every family. Society itself seems to be morally degrading at an ever-increasing rate. The list could go on and on.

Being prepared for bad times ahead is not a task for the paranoid or crazy – it is simply common sense. Decades ago what today is called preparedness back then was called LIFE. We live in a delicate world of just in time deliveries that ANY interruption to the food delivery system will result in empty shelves.  Storing extra food, water, and other supplies is simply making a decision to be responsible.

Preparedness will be a major topic here at 1776PatriotUSA.com.

The original 13 colonies declared themselves an independent country by issue of the Declaration of Independance. That incredibly brave action set the stage for the formation of the greatest country on the face of the planet. Concepts such as individual freedom and liberty provided an environment by which citizens could experience the “American dream” based on hard work and personal responsibility.

Founders such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Samuel Adams stated that large governments drunk on power would destroy the United States. They professed that ANY restraint of freedom and liberty would created a domino effect impossible to stop. Their prophetic warnings have become reality as the decline of America is well underway.

There is very little time left. I can only hope that 1776PatriotUSA.com can play some small part in its rescue.

Society today has evolved into something totally absurd and truly dangerous. Most care more about reality TV, celebrity gossip, and what their friends and family think of them rather than living a truly fulfilled life. I will periodically touch on my life philosophy and hope that readers will take heed and make positive changes in their own.

I am an avid gun nut. Firearms should be part of any Patriots life. Every Patriot should be capable of defending their life and the life of their families. They also should be able and willing to take up arms in the defense of this country – and the United States Constitution.

Hey – it’s not all gloom and doom. There is going to be lots of lighthearted fun and humor as well.

I will leave you with this quote from the greatest President that ever lived – Ronald Reagan:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Thank you!
