Free Republic

Independence Day makes Progressives squirm. They despise the principles of the American Revolution. If they could, their scotus judges would gut the Declaration as thoroughly as they have the Constitution. To them, our Noble Declaration, this expression of God-given reason subverts social justice; they are right. Since the Declaration is indeed hostile to their moral relativism, the Left has long attempted to minimize our founding to a fuzzy faith in the people. The “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” and “all men are created equal,” translates in their Marxist minds as widespread democracy accompanied with equal...

From a dissident perspective, watching the fights within what they still insist on calling the conservative movement is a lot like watching a bum fight. The two journeymen fighters are paired up to see who will get to be the champ’s next victim. The fight may be entertaining, as long as you do not think too much about the fact that neither guy has a future beyond being a punching bag for the elite fighters. These disputes are not without value. Granted, what comes from them will never be a genuine alternative to the progressive orthodoxy, but it offers some...

Hi all, Now available, free, is the Faith and Freedom Foundation's series on the "American Founding." They asked different people to discuss several aspects of our founding. I read, then explained as I read, the "Declaration of Independence," the Articles of Confederation, two of the Articles in the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. I think you'll enjoy this.

'Life, Liberty & Levin' host Mark Levin breaks down what it means for someone to believe in 'America First.'

Dr. Joseph Fraiman: “Personally, I would like to apologize to the three other scientists sitting with me here on Zoom, the proponents of the Great Barrington Declaration…I’m sorry, because I believe now you guys were correct. And you were correct from the beginning.” https://twitter.com/MichaelPSenger/status/1500911978352500737 Dr. Joseph Fraiman — ‘These policies were harmful. I was ignorant.’ https://starkrealities.substack.com/p/public-health-erred-on-the-side-of?s=r

Late last week, three colleagues and I launched the Free North Declaration , a call to defend civil liberties in this country, which lawyers and members of the public are invited to endorse. So far more than 6,000 have done so, including over 100 lawyers. The declaration outlines the ways in which legal authorities — legislatures, governments, public health officials, professional regulators, administrative bodies and public institutions — have restricted Canadians’ liberties during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have done so shrewdly, to attempt to remain inside the strict letter of the law and to avoid triggering protections in the Charter...

The abject stupidity of the triggered left knows no bounds. According to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the National Archives in Washington, DC has added a disclaimer to their website saying that some of our historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution may contain “harmful content.” Boebert tweeted: “The National Archives have now put a disclaimer on their website that our historical documents may include Harmful Content. They even slapped this warning on the Constitution. We tried to tell you the Left wanted to get rid of it!” Lest you think we are making this up,...

FIRST ON FOX: Members of the National Archives' task force on racism have recommended removing the "charters of freedom" description for America’s founding documents, such as the Constitution, arguing that it did not initially grant freedom for all individuals. Approximately 800 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees from across the country attended a town hall meeting of the Archives’ Task Force on Racism on May 11, according to FOIA documents obtained by America Rising and shared with Fox News. During the presentation, a museum subgroup recommended that NARA "retire" the term "charters of freedom" as descriptors for the U.S....

The United States and Germany have signed the Washington Declaration on common principles as a result of meeting. Its text is published on the White House website. According to the Declaration, Washington and Berlin are committed to protecting the 'open world'. This document confirms the commitment to the democratic principles that underlie both countries, as well as how they will apply them. The declaration states that all nations must be free from foreign interference in determining their political system. According to the document, Germany and the United States also promise build a united, free and peaceful Europe, support NATO and...

This is the full reading of the original rough draft version of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is read directly from the transcript, without the filter of historians trying to control the narrative in one direction or the other.

“The simplest definition of mental illness (and insanity) is the inability to recognize and comply with reality.” (My college statistics instructor who was a professor of psychology) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom” – Psalm 111:10 I often reflect on the nature of culture and nationhood, never more contemplatively than on the Fourth of July when I re-read and consider the observations within the Declaration of Independence. In so doing I recognize that, according to my statistics instructor, we are living in an Age of Insanity. As our nation is seemingly rife with incurious, gullible...

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) reluctantly repeated its tradition of staff reading the Declaration of Independence, this year framing its report to point out the “flaws” and racist elements of one of the most cherished U.S. documents. The left-wing media outlet said it started the tradition as “a way of marking Independence Day”: NPR included remarks from author David Treuer, who is Ojibwe from Leech Lake Reservation. “But a deeper look at history also shows that one of the reasons why the colonists wanted to rise up against the British — and wage the Revolutionary War — was over the...

There are many patriots today working to take back our country from the Socialists and Commies. If there were a modern day Declaration of Independence which signatures belong on it?

When I was a little girl, my mother told me, "Always be grateful you're an American. There's no greater blessing." Mom was right and no one expressed this more beautifully than pioneer Laura Ingalls Wilder in "Little Town on the Prairie" when she described DeSmet's 1882 Independence Day Celebration: Beside the flagpole a man rose up tall above the crowd. He was standing on something. The sound of talking died down, and he could be heard speaking. “Well, boys,” he said, “I’m not much good at public speaking, but today’s the glorious Fourth. This is the day and date when...

Let’s start at the beginning — “1776,” that is. This 1972 musical based on the Broadway show of the same name recounts the events surrounding the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Think “Hamilton” without hip-hop music.

Leftist citizens of the world are uncomfortable at the sight of unabashed and self-confident patriots celebrating the founding of a nation dedicated to undeniable truths. Tough. Let the micro-aggressions roll as we stand athwart the progressive junking of all that is good and decent. On our nation’s 150th anniversary in 1926, Republican president Calvin Coolidge gave a speech in which he responded to the progressive wave that was muddying the minds of the nation. Only thirteen years after the passage of the destructive 16th and 17th Amendments, Coolidge deftly reminded Americans not to discard principles that had served the nation...

The DeclarationWe are a broad and diverse group of Canadian physicians from across Canada who are sending out this urgent declaration to the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of our various Provinces and Territories and to the Public at large, whom we serve.On April 30, 2021, Ontario’s physician licensing body, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), issued a statement forbidding physicians from questioning or debating any or all of the official measures imposed in response to COVID-19. 1The CPSO then went on to threaten physicians with punishment – investigations and disciplinary action.We regard this recent statement of...

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed another renewal of the state’s disaster declaration tied to the coronavirus pandemic, even as state lawmakers hope to curtail some of his broad powers in emergencies. On Friday, Wolf signed a 90-day extension of the disaster emergency, his fourth renewal of the proclamation. He signed the first order on March 6, the day the first COVID-19 cases were reported in Pennsylvania. After infections, hospitalizations and deaths spiked in November and December, the state is seeing fewer new cases and fewer people are requiring treatment in hospitals. Still, the Wolf administration said this week there is...

Today in Jesus Name, I cover my beloved America with the blood of Jesus and declare America protected and redeemed by Jesus' blood which overcomes Satan and sends him and his minions to flight. Satan and his minions are defeated and will not occupy positions of power in America to destroy her. I declare a new birth of freedom in America and restoration of her Free Constitutional Republic by grace as a light of grace to the world.
