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.
