Truth Revival

The ability and freedom to speak ones mind is a virtue of a free society. However in shaping and maintaining our form of self-government it is much more than a virtue, it is a necessity. In its basic form, freedom of speech allows for dialogue among free individuals. Diversities of language, culture, philosophical perspectives, and worldviews can become impediments to free speech. Only after overcoming these challenges in a free public dialogue are we able to arrive at the point of persuasive reasoning. The foundation of our government, the framework of its branches, its checks and balances, were formed after much debate and free dialogue. Even among leaders and statesman that spoke the same language and had similar educational backgrounds and understandings of law and the laws of nature (God's Law), this undertaking was a formidable task. It is unlikely that we can maintain this form of government unless we can restore the collective conscience of Americans to where it once was. N...

Noah Websters 1828 English Dictionary defines the word govern as " to control; to restrain; to keep in due subjection; as to govern the passions or temper." Government is defined as "Direction; regulation and or Control; restraint" The concept of self-government was well understood by the Pilgrims and the founders and early settlers of this nation. Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Rush, Noah Webster and their associates all studied the great scholars of the age like Blackstone and Locke. They were familiar with the words of Hugo Grotius written in 1654 concerning self government, " He knows not how to rule a kingdom, that cannot manage a Province; nor can he wield a Province , that cannot order a City; nor can he order a City, that knows not how to regulate a Village; nor he a Village, that cannot guide a Family; nor can that man govern well a Family that knows not how to govern himself: neither can any govern himself unless his reason be Lord, Will...

In the previous post (the first, post#1) I introduced a few important concepts in the topic realm of truth and reason. They are listed here in order of appearance; Truth Moral Relativity Relationships Absolutes Reality Free Speech Dissent Anti-Marxism Speech Labels I may have missed a few, but these are the ones that are important to review on this blog towards Truth Revival. The most important of the above at this point in this post progression is the concept of free speech. Article #1 of the Bill of Rights states that " Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press...." Without this fundamental freedom this post may not be possible. Any dialogue or monologue or conversation that is coerced or restricted or suppressed would be of little value except to the powers in charge of speech, the Speech Police, better check your review mirror. We have come to expect free speech as a protected right defended by the government. This liberty is protected...

Welcome to post number one (1) of the Truth Revival blog. I'm writing this blog primarily to reach a people that has lost its passion for truth and is now confronted by the inevitable consequences of moral relativity. "So what!" you may say, "so is everyone else, what makes your blog so special ?" Well nothing really I'm no expert, never blogged in my life till now. I just thought you might be interested in reading about my truth. After all, if my truth is the same as your truth we may become friends. On the other hand, if my truth is not the same as your truth then perhaps you might not want to read this blog at all, and well, you'll find another friend. Wow, this truth thing really becomes a big deal when we are looking to make friends. It's also an important factor in relationships up to and beyond friendships. The way we all look at truth impacts our everyday lives. The pilot at the front of our jet better know the truth about where the landing s...
