“From the dawn of civilization, societies have wrestled with the balance between order and liberty. Nations rise and fall based on how they manage power—whether through the centralized control of empires or the dispersed authority of free markets and individual rights. The United States was founded on the radical idea that the government exists to secure the rights given by God, not to grant them. Yet, over time, this vision has been eroded by expanding bureaucracies, redistributive policies, and an entrenched political class that prioritizes power over principle. If the government is to be restored to its rightful place — serving rather than ruling — the federal, state, and local levels must be fundamentally restructured to prioritize liberty, responsibility, and human flourishing.” (02/21/25)
