On July 2, 1776, the American colonies formally declared their independence from Great Britain. The Resolution of Independence had been proposed by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia in June. Once it was approved the Second Continental Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision. The Declaration had been prepared […]
Let’s go back to the classics
“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of freemen. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, […]
Tulsi Gabbard Leaving The Democratic Party
So, the politisphere is buzzing this morning on the news that Tulsi Gabbard, who served as the U.S. representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 & who ran for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election, is leaving the Democratic Party. I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic […]
Make no mistake this is what tyranny looks like
If you watched President Joe Biden’s speech last night in Philadelphia you saw one of the most toxic, divisive, and frankly dystopian speeches ever delivered by an American president. This was not the national-unity speech we were promised, but rather the “othering” of nearly 75 million people. Pres. Biden, like dictators before him, set out […]

Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board is a Dangerous Idea
Thomas Paine once said, “The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes.” that about sums up President Joe Biden’s “Ministry of Truth” better known as the Disinformation Governance Board. On the surface a government agency dedicated to combating disinformation may sound like a good idea, it is, in reality a […]
Freedom of Speech Is One of Our Most Basic Liberties
Freedom of speech is one of our most basic of all liberties. The right to speak openly and honestly about the issues of the day is paramount to the functioning of our republic. It’s also the first right that tyrants attack and try to curtail. In recent weeks we’ve seen Twitter suspended Christian satire site The […]
Americanism
I’ve been thinking about this quote from our 26th President Teddy Roosevelt a lot recently: “Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.” […]
The Chaos of Freedom is Far Better Than the Tranquility of Oppression.
The past few days have been testament to Murphy’s Law… whatever could go wrong did. Repeatedly. I won’t bore you with details… thankfully it wasn’t anything serious just a cascade of small failures that created big headaches. In strange way the last few days have been a metaphor for liberty. Life in a free society […]
George Washington: I conceive a knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built.
In a letter to Jonathan Boucher dated July 9, 1771 George Washington wrote “I conceive a knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built.” George Washington was born in the Age of Reason, he was a part of a generation of that had access to more information in the […]
Liberty & Morality Go Hand in Hand
It’s a quiet Sunday Afternoon so I thought I’d share one of my favorite quotes with you all: “Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.” – Horace Greeley So many […]
Ask Amy Gets It Wrong On Guns
I haven’t had much interest in writing lately but every now and then the urge hits me – this is one of those times. I recently came a across an advice column written by Amy Dickinson that I simply can’t not comment on. What caught my eye was this letter and reply on firearms: Dear […]
Politics, Bump Stocks and the NRA
Since the NRA released its statement on bump stocks and national reciprocity yesterday I’ve been hearing a lot of grumbling from gun owners and second amendment supporters. They’re not happy. “In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can […]
Marco Rubio Was Right About Obama
Every debate has a moment that everyone remembers long after the debate and campaign has ended. In 2012 it was Rick Perry’s forgetfulness, last night in New Hampshire it Marco Rubio’s ‘Obama knows what he’s doing’ exchange with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie: The irony? Macro Rubio was right on the substance. Barack Obama set […]
Thoughts On Donald Trump and The First GOP Primary Debate
Wow, I just realized it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted anything here. Although I’m loath to wade back into political blogging I thought I’d offer my thoughts on Thursday night’s GOP primary debate. The one thing that was clear during Thursday night’s debate was that Donald Trump was way out of his element. […]
