"If all men are created equal, that is final.
If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final.
If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final.
No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions."
by:
Calvin Coolidge
(1872-1933) 30th US President

    The animation of Liberty and Freedom or the groveling of servitude, it is a choice of freewill. Let the young learn early the opportunity it provides.

    "No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.” Any attempt to go beyond these propositions can only be defined under a title of tyranny.

    Today's left is not using proper English words to describe equality they describe equity as if it means equal. The so-called living constitution is to bastardize meaning.

    There is no greater benefit in life to freedom.  Nothing the liberals promise to provide for you is worth trading one iota of it.
