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.

Declaration of Independence
“…He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
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!
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
Chris Sununu vs. The Declaration of Independence
From the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Will Republican Gov. Chris Sununu Sell out NH’s Sovereignty for a Bucket of Biden Bucks?
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
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
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?
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.
Notable Quote – Liberties and Freedom are about “The One”
An essential feature of a liberal government is the protection of minorities, and of the rights of minorities against plunder by the majority. The ultimate of minorities is one person. And so the ultimate of liberalism … is the protection of each person against the plunder of one or more other persons. -F.A. “Baldy” Harper … Read more
Independence Day – Observed
We just passed July 4th, what most people the world over consider American Independence Day. (That’s independence from the British Crown, for those currently in public school.)
Notable Quote – Democrats Now Stand For The Exact Opposite Of The Declaration Of Independence
When the elected delegates went off to the Continental Congress to represent the people of the 13 colonies, and eventually to sign the Declaration of Independence, everyone in America was a “subject.” However, alive in the hearts of those “subjects” who were delegates to the Continental Congress was a unique vision; a vision of life … Read more
We Need a New Declaration of Independence
Early Americans criticized their king’s rule with the memorable slogan “no taxation without representation” and decried His Majesty’s efforts to suspend their legislatures, altering fundamentally the forms of their government by imposing an arbitrary power structure instead.
Notable Quote – Goerge Will
The Declaration is not just chronologically prior to the Constitution, it is logically prior. As Timothy Sandefur writes, the Declaration “sets the framework for reading” the Constitution, so it is the Constitution’s “conscience”: By the terms with which the Declaration articulates the Constitution’s purpose – the purpose is to “secure” unalienable rights – the Declaration intimates … Read more
A 2020 GRANITE STATE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Granite Staters are created equal, with certain unalienable rights—to include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And when government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it.
Don’t “Insult” or Question Islam or its Prophet under penalty of arrest (or worse)!!!
The legal system in the US (other than in Louisiana) was originally derived from the legal system that prevailed in England for centuries, including the personal freedoms extracted from the King by the Maga Carta. Even with that long history of personal liberties, the colonists ultimately rebelled against the English Crown’s abuses as enunciated principally … Read more
America Was Not Founded on Slavery
The idea that America founded on slavery is an ignorant misrepresentation. Ben Shapiro addressed this leftist talking point and it bears repeating.
The consent of the governed
The Declaration of Independence asks and answers two fundamental questions about the nature of government, as understood by the people who founded America. First, what is government for? Second, from where does government derive its just powers?
