A 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.
