Honesty is the Best Policy

"I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy."

George Washington
Farewell Address; 1796

The Worth of an Honest Man

"Of more worth is one honest man to society, and in the eyes of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived."

Thomas Paine
"Common Sense" 1776

Keeping Liberty's Flame

Those of you who follow my other blog, My Book of Common Days, know of my political leanings.

I have decided to let you hear from our Founding Fathers and occasionally our Founding Mother's, in order that you may learn to love them as I do; that you need not take my word for things, you can hear it from them.

I make no secret that I watch Glenn Beck; I owe the inspiration for this endeavor to him.
It is my humble wish that through this blog, we can learn to be Keepers of Liberty in our homes and in our communities; we are in desperate need of a Restoration of the founding principles, and hopefully, through the Founder’s own words, we can begin together to restore the Constitution; to restore Faith, honor, dignity, respect, honesty and duty to our lives and patriotism for our beloved Republic.
