In Defense of Liberty Special 1 - Mission Statement

I have tried to start a few blogs in the past, but they never really stuck... I never got enough posts written, or (as far as I know) any traffic at all, and lost interest.


This one's different. This one's a topic I'm passionate about. This one's about liberty.


My general plan for this blog is to have each post deal with a specific topic as it relates to liberty. I plan to update once or twice a week, though we'll have to see how well I stick to that schedule. My goal is to expose friends, family members, acquaintances, and random readers to the idea of true liberty.


I keep throwing the word "liberty" around. Liberty is an overused word. America stands for liberty, right? Except when it doesn't.


So what do I mean by the word? I mean the freedom to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else. I will probably focus a lot on political and economic freedom on this blog, but I include purely personal freedom in my definition of the word as well. Being tied to a 30-year mortgage doesn't fit my definition of liberty, for example, though it has nothing to do with government.


I hope, having found your way here in one way or another, you'll enjoy your stay and learn a bit along the way. Freedom works. Freedom is popular.


Stand by for Post #1.
