America The United States Was a Miracle The system of the Founders has been sold for the crass comforts of empire. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution were miracles born of unique political and cultural circumstances unlikely ever to recur. They celebrated and honored separation of powers pitting ambition against ambition—a structural bill of rights to prevent executive branch tyranny. The crown jewel was the exclusive monopoly of the war power by Congress. It has no incentive to declare war except in self-defense against an aggressor that had already broken the peace—unlike the executive. During wartime, the…Open

America America: A Forgotten Idea As we celebrate the semiquincentennial, we should remember who we were. Twelve score and ten years ago, the 56 signatories to the Declaration of Independence made a break in history. They signed their death warrants on July 4, 1776, to secure unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, i.e., the opportunity to march to your own drummer without fear of domestic predation or foreign aggression—the summit of civilization. The end of government and civil society was to be justice, making everyone’s station in life correspond to character and accomplishments, simpliciter. Justice…Open

Since inauguration, Abigail Spanberger has shown derision for the customs, culture, and ideas cherished by Virginians. Virginia, the cradle of American liberty, easily recognized by its place and role in American history, also has more historic sites (130 in all) than any other state. This historic prominence is why this “founding” state is targeted for total transformation. This appears to be the mission of the newly elected Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, who campaigned as a moderate but revealed within 24 hours of being inaugurated that she is a radical wolf in sheep’s clothing. In the 5,500-odd years of recorded human history, there was never true freedom in any nation-state until the United States was founded. The great…Open
