The Study of Liberty: The Beginning

Since a very early age, I remember learning about politics.  I remember when Bush Jr. ran against Gore.  I remember my mom gasping as Florida was in play as to whether it would turn red or blue on our big square television screen.  I remember my parents and grandparents talking about the good old days of Reagan and Kennedy, where politicians worked to solve problems, rather than simply trying to be popular.  I remember 9-11.  I remember when Obama won...both times.  I remember the first time I ever voted.  I remember how it felt to press a button and cast my two cents into the abyss that is our democracy.

All my life I've listened and read about the difference between a democracy and a republic, why America is terrible or amazing, why this candidate or that candidate could change history forever.  I've listened for a long time.  Now, I want to say a few things.  Listen, don't, that's really up to you, but I came here with one intention.  I will speak my mind without fear or regret.  I will not hold back.  You ready?  Get your books out and turn to Chapter one...and welcome to The Study of Liberty.
