Who We Areflag31 About

America has changed considerably since Thomas Jefferson penned our nation’s charter of philosophical principles. Four score and seven years after the Declaration of Independence was singed, America’s very existence was threatened by a civil war testing whether its holy words applied to all men or just those whose ideology centered on possessing what, in their twisted view, was the proper skin color.

Abraham Lincoln’s war against confederate tyranny was not undertaken to fulfill his oath to uphold and defend our nation’s flawed constitution, which enshrined the evil institution of slavery; but to defend the Declaration’s proposition “that all men are created equal.”

Today, the Declaration’s “self evident” truths are lost on a majority of our politicians in Washington. And this political and philosophical blindness crosses party lines. Of course, until American politicians shoot their way to power, the fault, I’m afraid, rests with “We The People.” Though this site saves much of its scorn for the nihilistic Left of the Democratic Party, we also reserve a healthy dose of contempt for the majority of Republicans and “compassionate conservatives” who abandon principle in the gutless pursuit of bipartisanship – or “reaching across aisle” – as Arizona Sen. John McCain is so fond of saying.

From the founding of our nation, two camps have struggled continuously for more than two hundred years: those intent on using the Constitution’s process to undermine our liberty and those who believe that liberty predates our Constitution’s ratification or even England’s Magnacarta.

As America enters an era of forced “change,” we intend to chronicle the many injuries done to our freedom by the foes of individual liberty and the feckless eunuchs who refuse to oppose them.
