Defining boundaries makes flourishing possible. Enforcing them makes liberty a reality.

Freedom is loving God the Father, giving up a broken and contrite heart to Him – just as God the Son gave up his spotless heart to wash away all crimson sin.  And liberty is believing in what He, through Christ Jesus, has done for you and me, sealed by the Holy Spirit so that we may love one another in a thanksgiving of everlasting fraternity.

My vote is to abolish the Alabama Legislature. Of course, I know that won’t happen, so at least I can look forward to this latest legislative session finally coming to an end.

Frederick Douglass is commonly known merely as the black man who escaped slavery. This perspective overlooks his brilliance as a thinker, his powerful advocacy for freedom and his influence as a statesman.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we should remember Douglass not just as a hero from the past, but as a role model for real freedom, hard work, and success – values that help people grow stronger and unite America.

We’ve spent enough time on our knees. Let’s get to our feet and walk like Americans again. 

In rejecting the rigid, forced “equity” that was on the ballot last November, we instead chose liberty, which is nothing less than an attempted return to constitutional government, a fact that bodes well for the year ahead. 

Many Americans, especially young people, do not know the value of liberty. This makes them susceptible to the alluring promises of socialism, which they encounter on college campuses.

It's time for our congressional representatives and the Biden administration to stop selling the American people down the river.

On March 5, 1774 – 250 years ago this month – John Hancock cemented his legacy as a leader of colonial resistance to British rule when he delivered his “Boston Massacre Oration.”

While our founding documents play a vital role in shaping our society, they are not the ultimate source of our freedom. Instead, it is God who granted us these inherent rights and responsibilities. 

Conservatives must employ a persuasive message of liberty that is so robust that the left can’t question it, can’t attack it, and can’t defeat it.

Unfortunately, U.S. citizenship in modern America means neither freedom nor independence, but dependency and domination.

American democracy keeps killing the thing it theoretically loves – individual liberty – yet American democracy does not die. 

Liberty blossoms when power is set against power, ambition seeks to check ambition, and ideas are measured and weighed in the tumult and hullabaloo of our public political dramas.  

I believe in limited government. Government that is responsive to be sure, but one that is not in the way.

The lust to dominate, the libido dominandi, does not discriminate between left or right, Christian conservative or secular progressive. It infiltrates all.
