If we look at the empty plots of land where our manufacturing once thrived; if we look at the poverty and anarchy in our cities; if we look at the material and spiritual devastation throughout the “opioid belt;” if we look at the lack of opportunities and inspiration for our upcoming generation of young adults;—if we take in the full sweep of all o…

The ideas which created the American Republic do not come down to us from John Locke or other oligarchical spokesmen of the British Empire. If you wish to understand the truth about America, study instead the sermons of John Robinson of the Plymouth Church; or the writings of Cotton Mather; or Benjamin Franklin’s lifelong pursuit of scientific inve…
