What makes our land AMERICA the EXCEPTIONAL? From all across the country, Americans are demanding a restoration of our first principles:
Individual Liberty Limited Government Economic Freedom
We are dedicated to offering a resource-rich place where We the People can come together and learn from each other about American Exceptionalism. Please explore and contact us with your ideas.
Happy 235th Birthday!
By Bill Brimacombe
On this day, 235 years ago, our American forefathers gave witness to the truth that God creates all men with the individual right to life from the moment of conception, and that each life has the God-given right to pursue individual happiness through the God-granted liberty with which each of us is created.
Our forefathers declared these truths despite the failure of all preceding human generations to recognize them. The history of mankind up to that point had been marked by men struggling to free themselves from the control of other men. All of human history had been a sad saga of kings, khans, sheiks and shamans ruling other men. The breadth of man’s potential had been subjugated to the will of the powerful.
In 1776, in this new world of America, individual citizens declared their independence from the rulers of the old world. Here, at the end of thousands of years of human struggle, individuals are free to pursue their destinies as they see fit, without the need for approval from anyone, especially the governing class. Here, as in the eyes of God, princes and paupers are judged equally by the strength of their character and the product of their industry.
What followed was the greatest level of human achievement in history. The miracle of America attracted millions from around the globe. And prosper we did!
Still lurking in the minds of men, however, were the dark forces of the powerful seeking to control the less powerful. These forces were either brazen in their audacious demand for power or, more often, wrapped in the lamb’s fleece of seeking solutions for mankind’s problems. In all cases, however, not even the lamb’s fleece could hide the wolves’ teeth of those selfish for power.
Millions suffered the atrocities of communism and Nazism. Millions more are now suffering from modern Islamofascism. Even in America, millions are suffering from dependency on an unlimited government created by a self-anointed, Ivy League elite governing class. Individual liberty is being trampled beneath the boots of those preaching what’s “best for society,” “the greater good” and “social justice.” Individual industry is being taxed to provide benefits for the non-industrious. Half of the population is now deemed to be too poor to support our national government. Our national government now ignores economic contributions by individuals and companies and instead doles out rewards to those who are well connected with the governing class. The well connected now prosper at the expense of the less well connected.
So on this 235th birthday of America, we are at a crossroads for human civilization. Individual citizens must stand up and be counted in support of what made America the most exceptional experiment in human history. Individual citizens must deride those who would cynically criticize individual initiative as greed and individual achievement as taking something from others.
Individual citizens must not stand silently when members of the governing class lie to them and promote class envy. Citizens must mock those attempts for the blatant power grabs that they are. The governing class must have their lamb’s fleece stripped away so that their wolves’ teeth are bared to all.
America must be reclaimed by the people from the governing class. Government institutions must be stripped of the power they’ve usurped at the expense of the people. The governing class must be sent back to their academic cloisters where they can share their utopian ideas with their fellow know-nothings without foisting their failures on the rest of us.
In short, it is time for the adults to return. America needs to end the embarrassment of incompetent and foolish leadership. America needs to return to its roots, where citizens use their God-given liberty to pursue their individual happiness without answering to anyone but God.

Want to know what makes Europeans superior to Americans?
From "the astronomically priced suits, the $3,000-a-night suite, the Air France privileges, and the medieval Norman baron’s sense of entitlement regarding an immigrant housecleaner," Victor Davis Hanson explains how we "neanderthal" Americans just don't respect European ways - and shouldn't!Click here for the hypocrisy.
The Fate of Our Nation in the Balance
First they ignore you,
then they ridicule you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

Josh Hall, Professor of Economics, St. Lawrence University Professor Hall describes how greater economic freedom leads to higher incomes and more economic development over time. When governments allow citizens the freedom to trade, own property, create businesses, and contract with others, the income of average citizens grows over time. This effect can be observed internationally when comparing countries, as well as domestically when comparing states in the US. Josh Hall is Assistant Professor of Economics at Beloit College and contributor to the blog Division of Labour. He researches applied microeconomics, specifically state and local public finance and also economic education entrepreneurship and economic freedom. He primarily teaches principles of economics, intermediate micro, and public economics. Josh received his Ph.D. in economics from West Virginia University and graduate and undergraduate degrees in economics from Ohio University. He was formerly an economist for the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress. |
