Independent Principles Applied

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Yuval Levin wrote one of the best articles I've read in a long, long time in The Weekly Standard. This article dissects Paul Ryan's Republican budget proposal for 2012, and what it offers, as a comparison to the Democrat's agnostic approach to addressing our country's fiscal crisis. Levin writes, "The plan is surely a departure from the status quo, but that status quo is itself a radical departure from the American experience." That line sums up perfectly what we've been saying on this blog. Read the article here.

Concord

Concord is a firm believer in the original intent of the constitution, the prophetic words of our founding fathers, and the power of self governance to maintain righteousness, justice, prosperity and liberty in America. Concord is not a believer in government control, however convenient it is, secular education, however liberating it may feel, or evolutionary constitutionalism, however politically correct it sounds. At 27, Concord spends much of her time writing, reading, running, and hanging with her main man, Charlie Brown. She is working her way through the 50 states.

Lexington

Lexington is not and has never been a syndicated columnist and only recently earned a college degree. He chooses to make his points with common sense instead of using lofty and unintelligible academic logic. Even more impressive is his ability to make his own terms up, like 'wordology'. He used to reside with his guns in a community trailer park overseas, but now he fights in the land of CONUS against the Imperial Walkers of Janet Napolitano, along with his furry friend, the pumpkin princess. As a humanitarian he would relentlessly waterboard any foreigner planning a devastating attack against America if it meant he could get the information to stop it, thus saving lives (that's the humanitarian part), but would never drill a hole in an unborn babies head (again, a humanitarian). He is 33 years old.
