Here's my
4th of July article posted on Springfield Armory's blog,
The Armory Life. America is the only country founded on philosophical principles. America is, fundamentally, a set of moral principles. As I explain, individual liberty is the foundation around which the entire American system is structured. Protecting and advancing this liberty was the purpose of founding America, and it remains the organizing principle. People who do not understand this find the American system mysterious or confusing, but the confusion is based in their own ignorance.
Read my piece, it explains.
Many thanks to
Springfield Armory for the opportunity to publish this.
