This essay originally was published in the Bicentennial Year of the Constitution--1987--in a volume entitled, "Our Ageless Constitution" it's premise poses similar questions to those being raised by the Taxed Enough Already grassroots movement of 2009-10. As you read, remember that in 1987, there was no widespread Internet access to the Founders' prolific writings.

Thankfully, technology has made it possible for a rebirth of the ideas of liberty in the hearts and minds of citizens, for the writings and speeches of America's Founders, as well as the source documents from which they derived those ideas, are available online in many collections. Although so-called "progressives" worked for decades to censor the ideas from textbooks and public discourse, Internet access now makes it possible for widespread circulation of America's founding ideas to every home and office in America.

The question now becomes: what will we do to rediscover and secure liberty for future generations?

That is now in serious jeopardy, "progressives" are waging war on the internet exactly because it makes for free movement of these ideas.

... it all depends on what the “Christians” do. If they stand up, then it proceeds.

Western civilization was founded in Christianity and is now threatened by the mohammedans and themselves.

There are two ways to hide information:

1. Put it in a safe behind lock and key
2. Hide it in plain sight amidst the detritus of a monstrous pile of useless information, i.e. put it on the internet
