TLBCo.: Have a heart, America!

DSC_0240

Hearts and February go together, as do patriotic thoughts to those who know something about American history.  Several of our greatest citizens – Presidents, no less – were born in February.  Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan are some that come to mind.  Whether providing the first, best example of the American character, preserving the union, or recalling Americans to our founding principles, they all loved America deeply and served her faithfully.  From time to time America requires that of her citizens – to rise to the occasion.  Today is one such occasion.

Judge L. Hand (yes, that was actually his name) once said:  “Liberty lives in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it;”  So have a heart, America, literally!  And show liberty still lives in yours.  Check out TLBCo.’s purple heart magnet, on sale at our shops through President’s Day.

It Matters!: A Time for Choosing, Again . . .

Gettysburg Address Sesquicentennial PosterA choice is impending.  And the choice is fundamental.  It recurs in various forms and at different times in American political life.  Just as in the years leading up to the Civil War, we are once again A House Divided  over the moral foundations (and character) of self government.  Lincoln surmised that the purpose of asserting the moral principle of Liberty to all in the Declaration was for future use as it “was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain.”  It serves as a “stumbling block to those who in after times might seek to turn a free people back into the hateful paths of despotism.”  Sound familiar?  Join us in recalling Americans to the Founders’ model of self government grounded in transcendent moral principle.  The perpetual pursuit of the moral truth of Liberty to all is the lofty and worthy goal of America.  Do the work.
