Founders Truth

This paper was submitted to the The Wake County Sustainability Task Force
It has long been known that liberty is tied to the institution of private property. The Decalogue codified private property in four words: “Thou shall not steal.” George Washington
“Private property and freedom are inseparable.” George Washington
“Private property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist.” John Adams
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.” James Madison
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to understand the contemporary view of sustainability in light of it’s origin with the United Nations. This contemporary understanding of sustainability will then be contrasted with liberty as defined by the US Founding Fathers. It will be argued that a proper understanding of traditional liberty includes private property rights – property rights are intrinsic to individual liberty. Both individual liberty and private property rights are antithetical to the modern notion of sustainability. ...

Commentary by Lew Rockwell
Reprinted from The FREE MARKET
Published by the Ludwig von Mises Institute
August 1996
In a truly free society, it wouldn't matter who the president was. We wouldn't have to vote or pay attention to debates. We could ignore campaign commercials. There would be no high stakes for ourselves, our families, or the country. Liberty and property would be so secure that we could curse him, love him, or forget about him.
This was the system the framers set up, or people believed they were getting, with the U.S. Constitution. The president would never concern himself with the welfare of the American people. The federal government had no say over it. That was left to the people's political communities of choice; here we were to govern ourselves and plan our own future.
The president was mostly a figurehead, a symbol....

The USA was born from the seed of revelation, the logic of reason and the creation of our founding documents the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. But today the American citizens appear confused, complacent, and without the courage to lead. As Americans it is our duty to defend what was so long in finding -- liberty and the rights of self-government.
Our practice of self-government was founded by our forefathers over 200 years ago. These men studied the ancient principles of law found in scripture. Our founding fathers also searched deeply into the history and philosophy of English and European government. There our founding fathers found tested concepts, values, motives and law. They knew that war between Kings, nations and religions had been constant throughout all the history of western civilization. It was time to stop warring and to begin building a civilization based on the rule of law and the spirit of liberty. It was reasoned that righteous...

LAKE JACKSON, Texas
“Tonight, President Obama once again showed that he does not represent the fundamental change this country needs. Instead of offering solutions to the problems our country faces, the President was intent on delivering a campaign speech, further dealing in the typical Washington political gamesmanship that has gotten us exactly nowhere close to improving the lives of the American people.
“In a speech where much of the rhetoric was devoted to job creation, it was strange that President Obama would brag about his job-destroying national health care plan, Obamacare, and the Dodd-Frank bill, which, contrary to the President’s claims, guarantees future taxpayer bailouts of large institutions. Unfortunately, President Obama’s ‘job creation’ policies amount to little more than continuing to allow government bureaucrats to pick winners and losers, which is a recipe for continued economic stagnation.
“President Obama claims to want an economy where everyone gets a fair shot,...

On March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry delivered one of the most important speeches in our country's history. Attending a meeting of the Second Virginia Convention at St. John's Church in Richmond, Henry intended to present a proposal to organize a militia in every Virginia county. The Convention met at St. John's Church rather than the Capitol in Williamsburg because of opposition from England's Royal Governor Lord Dunmore and his Royal Marines.

 We the People
Where does sovereign power come from and to whom is it bestowed? In other words, from where does the government derive its power?
The short answer is that the government receives its power from the people. A common misperception is that America is a democracy. However, the truth is that the Founding Fathers established our country as a Constitutional Republic. In fact, the word “democracy” is not found in any of our founding documents or state constitutions.

James Madison, 1822
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Calvin Coolidge, Speech on 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
"About the Declaration [of Independence] there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. 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. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
