Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .

America came from Great Britain. To a significant extent, they share our values. The recent election was mainly about values and in particular the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The left reached too far, trusting their twin weapons of fraud and demographics. With luck and hard work, we may spread respect for natural rights to England and to other countries that share our history. The left trusted their power over the media to shape the "narrative".

What they discovered instead is that more than enough people value freedom of religion and were disgusted by the thugs reveling in crushing bakers under their heels.

What they discovered instead is that more than enough people value the right to keep and bear arms and were fearful of government agents murdering LaVoy Finicum for acting more civilized than Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street but carrying firearms while he did it.

What they discovered instead is that more than enough people value freedom of speech and were disgusted by "hate speech" laws, speech codes, and political correctness.

What they discovered instead is that enough people value privacy, not the abortion "privacy" of the penumbra, but the real privacy guaranteed in the Fourth Amendment, and were disgusted by the systematic and warrantless federal government intrusions on our lives.

What they discovered instead is that (just barely) enough people value limited government and were disgusted by the jackboots ignoring the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and the enumerated powers.

What they discovered instead is that freedom is still alive, and it's what keep the American people alive. Perhaps even the British will join us!

What they rediscovered, without realizing, was Natural Law, the Law of Reason.
