The Revolution Standard
Dear Friends, It seems to me that the major difference, between the American revolution of 1776 and recent revolutions, is that there was a working government in place, that had practiced Republican principles from the start, moreover, the people were, … Continue reading

The Threat of Regulation
Dear Friends, Happy New Year! It seems to me that if the Obama administration goes through with it’s threat, to go around Congress by enacting reams of regulation, it will be an excellent example for the rest of the World … Continue reading

Three Paths to Virtue in Society
Dear Friends, It seems to me that for a market system to function properly the people must be honest. As the people that make up a society become less honest, for whatever reason, the market becomes less and less efficient … Continue reading

Liberty Independence and Responsibility
Dear Friends, It seems to me that liberty comes with responsibility. To be truly free one must be responsible for him or her self. To be “free” while in a state of dependence is an oxymoron. Liberty, independence and responsibility … Continue reading
The Many Flavors of Nationalism
Dear Friends, It seems to me, that ninety nine percent of the people on this planet don’t understand why the US is so strong, when it is made up of so many different races of people. In a meeting with … Continue reading

Foundational Wisdom and the Right Constitution of Government

Should There Be Negative Consequences For Negative Behavior?
Dear Friends, It seems to me all parents know that you punish that which you don’t want and you reward that which you want. Any parent that did otherwise would quickly find their child unmanageable. But government sees it exactly … Continue reading
UN and Climate Taxation
Dear Friends, It seems to me that If the nations of the world are stupid enough to give taxation rights to the UN they do not deserve to exist as nations… and soon will not. Once the UN has the … Continue reading

Human Heartedness and Government
Dear Friends, It seems to me that to hold another person to a higher standard of personal conduct than one holds himself is not human hearted. To be “not human hearted” in this way, historically, qualifies a person to hold … Continue reading
