America the Idea

Special Edition - Saturday, July 4th, 2009

by Paul Smith

If America were simply a place then the wave of political change would simply be in the flow of politics.

America is an IDEA that people living in Liberty can govern better than any royal or aristocratic line can.  America is an experiment in using sovereign states to experiment in commerce, regulation, taxation and other variables to determine what mixture is best.

America is an idea that Liberty is the solution to the human condition.

America the Idea sees every individual as potential for improvement.  Wealth is created when human intellect operates on a resource and creation or innovation is allowed in Liberty.

(continues below)


The opposite of the American Idea sees each individual as just another drain on finite government resources.  The reason is because the anti-American Idea desires a government that is large enough to provide parenthood to all citizens. Health care, food, clothing and guidance for all decisions; the things parents provide their children but from a government.

The American Idea is that government is only useful in providing things like borders and defense, roads and bridges, and other infrastructure needs.

In conclusion either we are supporting America or not. America is not the dirt we stand on it’s the idea of liberty.

• Climate Fraud and the Environmental Agenda WedNEWSday - November 25th, 2009 The debate on environmentalism -- specifically as regards the environmental movement itself -- has been marked by confusion since the beginning. Criticism of environmentalist thinking tends to confuse means with goals. Environmentalist reforms, however they are presented and whatever they may involve, are simply means......
• Just Like I Said - America is Conservative at the Core (2:1) Sunday Paper - July 26th, 2009 I launched RightReborn.com back in November of 2008, right after the election of Barack Obama.  Knowing that vicious blows were about to be dealt to individual liberty in America, it was obvious that many Americans needed a refresher course on what The United States......
• G20 Reveals New World Order Not Conspiracy Theory Sunday Paper - April 5th, 2009 American Exceptionalism Barack Obama is not leading the United States.  What he is doing, and painfully obviously so, is having America take a seat in the back of the bus and go along for the ride with the rest of the globe.  This lack......
• Socialism: Flaws and Ills Lead to Failure Sunday Paper - January 11th, 2009 Socialism has failed throughout the world time and again, yet its proponents are relentless in their efforts to somehow see it succeed.  The hope for their social utopia lies in implementing "pure" socialism, its perfect version.  Leaders who adopt the ideology are the arrogant,......
• Join the Fight With freedom comes responsibility.  Sadly, many Americans no longer value their freedom.  How do I know this you ask.  It's simple.  Americans elected Barack Obama to be President of the United Sates of America.  Obama mastered the teleprompter, spoke like a preacher, and made many weak in the knees.  What......

• Food Culture Wars: Organic & Nutrient Dense vs. Manufactured & Inexpensive I ran across a great Op-Ed article in the Washington post over the current food culture war: organically raised meats & veggies vs. industrially manufactured foods, the millions of dollars spent on lobbying Congress for continued food subsidies, as well as multimillion dollar marketing campaigns to retain as much......
• Why Americans Defend Higher Income Individuals   I was discussing President Obama's campaign promises (shut down Gitmo, get out of the 2 wars we were in, and lower unemployment lol) the other week with my in-laws and I came up with a theory why Americans, generally, defend higher income individuals.  I am sure the theory......
• Everyone's a Deficit Hawk, Until it Affects Their Wallet In today's latest political hypocrisy gaffe, the majority of Americans voted Republicans into House of Representatives and kicked out spendthrift Democrats because deficit reduction was, and still is, a stellar idea. Of course, being a deficit hawk is a great rallying cry, but when it comes down to slashing......
• The Million Moderate March!! **Note: As many people are aware, I did make it to the Rally. There were issues and reasons I never got around to writing much about it (personal issues that screwed my life up pretty heavily as soon as we got back). I hope to regather my thoughts and......
• Liberty Head Silver Dollars   money -> Coins-US -> Dollars Liberty Head silver dollars have been referred to in many different ways over the years. First they were called Buzzard Dollars, because no one really liked the original design of the rather scrawny eagle on the back. The large, heavy coins were also referred......
