The founders of our country declared independence, and on that day found they were no longer bound not only to England, but to any government anywhere in the world.
Madison, Jefferson, other writers of the various constitutions and laws, had the history of the world as reference for deciding on a government. They had the purest form of tyranny on their doorstep - slavery. They saw a People being pushed out by newcomers, in watching the lives of the native americans. They had the history of the Puritans, the histories of all the colonies, the histories of the many people new to this continent.
They studied all these governments, and in the end they chose none. They saw instead that every man and woman was born with freedom, and any government should be derived from that.
This nations beginnings was a rejection of progressivism, socialism, fascism, communism, and all the other oppressive attempts at regulating the individuals of the world. We, two hundred years later, are NOT going to choose any of those methods now - our Constitution will stand.

About Me
- read and consider
- Well, you probably want to know what to expect here. As a follower of the first president, George Washington, I want to put forth articles that will inspire additional thought, so you can enjoy what you already know, your beliefs in the Constitution and the country. I try to write on subjects that have been missed in all the other information sources, of course mixing in some sarcasm and humor. Enjoy the freedom.
