OUR MISSION

THE RAT CATCHER is dedicated to the task of exposing RATS in American culture, whether in government, business, education or general society.  Rats destroy.  We define RATS broadly as anyone who, by his conduct, failure to act, policies or advocacy destroys or damages the foundations and underpinnings of American society, law and culture.
“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! [Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775]
The term “culture war” has been bandied about for more than twenty years.  That war has been growing in intensity throughout that time.  It is now upon us, fully fledged.  Those who doubt that have only to turn on their televisions or computers to view news footage of rioting and looting in cities, great and small, across the county.  Certain politicians and their handmaidens in the media deny the war.  But make no mistake, there is a war and it is pitting neighbor against neighbor, family against family, businesses against their employees, and racial groups against each other.  And, in the words of Patrick Henry, “our brethren are already in the field.”  Police, merchants, and private citizens are facing an onslaught of destructive attacks posing as legitimate protest.  THE RAT CATCHER has joined the fray late, a matter of regret.  But we are determined to speak clearly, calmly, accurately, and without apology for our views.  There will undoubtedly be demands that we, as Drew Brees, Robert Unanue, and others, apologize for our opinions.  We will not apologize.  THE RAT CATCHER will, as many before us, defend the right of those who disagree with us to speak, to object, and to offer other opinions, but we will not be silent just because others disagree.  That is their right as it is ours.
