It’s our anniversary.\u00a0 We started counting hits on the site beginning September 1, 2009 … it looks like we have stirred up a reasonable amount of interest.<\/p>\n
At this point it is probably a good idea that we recapitulate a little for those of you that have joined our blog since we started our tally. During the summer and fall of 2008, as the election approached, I, who have been a life long Republican, after listening to the gossip at the local coffee klatch, began reflecting upon just what was the difference between Democrats and Republicans.\u00a0 My musings led to a short story, “Saving the Republic,” which is the first thing published on the blog and the basis for our quest … a search for the “genius of the American Republic.”\u00a0 If you are interested in following the logic of our search, you should probably read the following essays in order.<\/p>\n
(You will find easy access to these essays by clicking on their names in the “tags” section of the main page.)<\/p>\n
May I recommend to you my favorites in Maurice’s Library … “The Law” and “The Mainspring of Human Progress.”<\/p>\n
The above are the basis for the blog, but explaining the nuances of the battle to save the “Freedom of Man” is incredibly complex, too complex for one person, so I have been blessed by my friends, the talented contributors to the quality of the blog;\u00a0 Maurice, who is an economist, rancher, legislator, realtor, and most importantly, a lifelong devotee to the quest for human freedom; Paul, who is a venerated engineer, syndicated columnist, commentator, philosopher, political operator extra-ordinare, and Presidential Elector; Wayne, who is a humorist, columnist, Master Water Well Driller, sage and sometimes red-neck; the youngest of us, Rosa, a bi-lingual, full blooded American woman, an Ivy Leaguer, an honors engineering graduate of Cornell University, a MBA and a mom;\u00a0 and your host, Lee, practitioner of many trades, master of few, closet red-neck and your humble host.<\/p>\n
Please enjoy our continuing endeavors and please use our comments section of the blog, either to criticize (critically or constructively) or ask questions … as our country falls further into extremis we are going to need all the dialogue possible.<\/p>\n
Sincerely … Lee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
