1/ The biggest problem we have is that we keep trying to solve the problem on the level of the symptom rather than addressing the level of cause. The cause is our psychological disconnect from the tenets of the Declaration of Independence.

2/ America’s mission statement: All men are created equal. God gave all men unalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. Governments are instituted to secure those rights. And when govt’s not doing their job it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

3/ The genius of the Right has been to claim the Founders’ vision even while they trampled all over it. The mistake of many on the Left has been to disavow the Founders’ vision even while they sought to preserve it. We can claim the vision without being starry-eyed about the men.
