BOLDIN: It’s Not Just a Right. It’s a Duty

May 20, 2026 Michael Boldin

Alter or abolish. Despite those words in the Declaration of Independence, the establishment would have you believe that any effort to resist their power is anti-American. But they have it backward. Under the founders’ framework, the right to “provide new guards” is a right that can also rise to the level of duty. FOUNDATION The … Read more

OPINION: Brainwashed Sheeple

October 30, 2025 John Best Jr.

The Brainwashed Sheeple of America think that the Constitution is our supreme law when it only applies to our public servants. The Preamble applies to We the People, but We the Brainwashed Sheeple do not understand this. The Preamble gives us the right to rewrite the entire Constitution any time we feel like it, with … Read more

Shurtleff: The Declaration of Independence and the Men Who Signed It

July 9, 2025July 3, 2025 Hal Shurtleff

Mrs. Wolf, my eighth-grade history teacher in a Boston Public School, ensured that her students not only knew the reasons why the 13 colonies united against Great Britain and declared their independence from Great Britain, but also had her students memorize a good portion of the Declaration of Independence. They also had to know about … Read more

Understanding the Constitution and Loving It

July 25, 2024July 25, 2024 Op-Ed

I was amazed to see the slew of commentary that followed the July 13, 2024, Trump event in Bethel, PA, and the canceling of Biden’s campaign. It worries me that people are talking rapturously about an imminent “next stage of American history” as if it will come about by “forces”. Or by “players.” Or maybe … Read more

July 9, 2024 Ed Mosca

Leaf-eating, beta-male Rep Heath Howard (Democrat – Strafford/Barrington) believes that the founding principle of America was “we did not want a king.” This beta male has either never read the Declaration of Independence or is rewriting it.

Independence Day – A Snippet from Calvin Coolidge (7/5/1926)

July 5, 2024July 4, 2024 Skip

Reformatted, emphasis mine: About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we … Read more

Independence Day

July 4, 2024 Dan Itse

On the Fourth of July we celebrate the day upon which the members of the Continental Congress signed The Declaration of Independence. In fact, independence in New Hampshire began six months earlier January 5, 1776, when our Legislature issued our first Constitution, thus creating the first independent State, established by a written Constitution, and without a king, in which the people ruled through their elected Representatives.

Pulpit Polity: Richard Stockton

June 30, 2024 Op-Ed

Hello, Friends of Freedom. I hope your summer is amazing! Let’s continue our look at the Declaration’s signers.

Our Modern Day Version

May 31, 2024 Jim Bowman

America is in need of another declaration! Our first was presented in a written form, but in today’s fast-paced world, ears are more adaptable to our living styles. As with America’s first declaration, today’s version also declares an abrupt turnaround from what is current, and in both instances, America’s abrupt turnaround comes from a highly credible source.

The Constitution: Bait and Switch

July 16, 2022 Ian Underwood

I recently had an email conversation with a woman from Connecticut who contacted me after reading Dan Barry’s article about Croydon in the New York Times.

“…He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

July 9, 2022 Skip

The title is from our Declaration of Independence from England and King George’s tyrannical rule. That text above is the 10th (out of the 27 Grievances our Founding Fathers listed as reasons for wanting our American cleavage from British rule. And, as this snippet from a longer Wall Street Times article (paywalled) should remind us … Read more

Blogline of the Day – Said NO Democrat/Progressive EVAH!

July 5, 2022 Skip

What the Declaration of Independence Said and Meant: It officially adopted the American Theory of Government: First Come Rights; Then Comes Government to Secure These Rights. If A, then B. But the converse is not always true and we’ve found, over time, that almost all politicians can’t handle logic statements. And in this case, not … Read more

September 28, 2021September 28, 2021 Skip

Right on schedule, just like I knew would happen, along comes NH Governor Chris “Baby Huey” Sununu to show us where his heart is – he is ready to take Biden’s COVID bribe and toss NH under the bus.

Ken Wyler Is Right – Biden’s COVID Money Just Another Attack on Federalism

September 28, 2021September 27, 2021 Skip

The Federal Government is almost ALWAYS taxing We the People and filtering it through the DC bureaucracy. They then send it back to us (after taking their cut) but with strings attached. Sometimes those strings are just strings but they are often as thick as bridge cables.

Let Freedom Ring

September 13, 2021 Amil Imani

I am for unity under just one banner, freedom. Any idea or action that separates people into warring camps and builds walls of separation is abhorrent to me.

What is Freedom?

July 4, 2021July 4, 2021 Ken Eyring

It’s the Fourth of July. The day Americans celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Each and every word in that sacred document was given great thought before it was written and enshrined by our Founding Fathers.
