  The New Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with their government and to reestablish among the powers of the earth, a republic predicated upon the defense of the rights of the individual to which Natural Law entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that

Independence Day - Our Day

If you think that liberty and individualism are ideas that have become passé,

If you think that coercion is legitimate in the service of the greater good,

If you can only muster collectivist pabulum to describe American principals,

If you consider others responsible for your income, for your housing, for your welfare,

If you deny man's right to pursue his own happiness,

If you accept the group as god and the individual as slave,

If you necessitate that the creative, who produce, must

Proudly We Hail

The greatest president of the twentieth century is no more. If you are new to our country and you want to understand the man - to know who he was and what he stood for - just read by omission the recounting of his life by the hate-America press chanting the mantra of Reagan as "a great communicator".

Was Reagan really a great communicator? Would his rhetorical skills have requited such love and popularity had his message been one of victimhood, dependence and sacrifice to the state?

Give Something Back

The next time you are asked, by members of the community within which you live, or better yet, your employers, to "give something back", please, in the name of all that is rational, reply, "what have I taken?". Often, when you confront someone who uses this phrase they will reply that it is just an expression and that there is nothing more to it. Clearly they've either lost the context or simply grown accustomed to repeating socialists expressions. Perhaps they are oblivious to the fact that America is slipping into socialism. But

The Price of Freedom

"We cannot afford a tax cut".

No sentence more aptly betrays the core convictions of the democrat party. It should persuade all those in doubt as to whether that party has become the true champion of confiscation and slavery.

Let us clarify.

Money is an imperishable representation of man's honest effort, his toil, here on earth. It would have no value except that the work chosen is itself of value to others. So the real currency confiscated is human effort. Taxes are

Ann Of Arc

Ann Coulter, who identifies with the conservative Republican cause, is doing something very un-conservative, very un-republican. She is fighting the leftist machine with righteous indignation.

This in an age where the only virtue is the denial of virtue. This in an age in which other Republicans if confronted with a bill calling for the complete imprisonment of all Americans – would demand smoking breaks. This in an age of radical moderation. Ann Coulter engages the enemies of freedom: the marxist bigots rising from our unswept gutters, the

Wilted Flower Children

Where have all the flowers gone? The flower children, that is. Where are those hip, anti government radicals standing up for mellow highs, yellow ties and shirtless women with thunder thighs? Looking for a love-in here. Brothers and sisters of the counter culture, where are you? Hello? Anybody there?

Turns out, they are all busy working for the government (formally known as The Man) or kissing up to it. Name the government program and they’re for it. Remember Vietnam? With Clinton we learned that…why yes indeed the

Fluffy The Tick

From its inception, The United States; the only country to affirm in its founding principles a respect for individual liberty, existed in conscious devotion to the defense of freedom. Not to regulate, not to confiscate, not to redistribute the possessions of others and generally call for the servitude of its citizenry. These were qualities of other governments. These were qualities against which this greatest of all Republics was founded. These were qualities from which people from all over the world-sought refuge.

So how is it that we

Death of the Death Cultures

At present, America contends with a barbarous band of thugs, of yelping maniacs lacking even the pretense of tolerance or respect for human life.

Lest our spirits become too delicate, we would do well to consider not only our American heritage, but the monumental legacy of western civilization, the greatness of which can be partially measured by the futility of our beragged adversaries.

For most of history tyranny devoured the virtuous at will. Tyranny, defined, is a revolt against production by honest means and

They Want Your Stuff

There are only two galvanizing forces of civilization: liberty and tyranny. They are mutually exclusive.

As it stands, the modern virus of tyranny: collectivism, socialism, what you will, has found its way across the ocean to challenge liberty and the respite it has offered mankind from brutality. Collectivism is often mistaken as a philosophy, but it is not. It is an excuse. An excuse to plunder, to bully, to prey upon humanity. Its champions don’t even believe their own arguments. Reason has won the day, intellectually. Which

Go To Work

For those who are unsure as to whether to again pursue their daily affairs, we should remember that our enemies have attacked the World Trade Center for their contempt of capitalism.

Think of the very name "World Trade Center" and what that stands for. It stands for the immutable freedom for man to trade value for value with his fellow man. To make mutual exchange to the mutual benefit by mutual consent with his fellow man. This is the very existential meaning of the right to "the
