Reflections on Life & Liberty
So much time is spent "in the fight" that it is easy to forget what we are supposed to be fighting for. To answer that, join Michael Quinn Sullivan each week as he puts the continuing fight for life and liberty in historical, biblical, and personal context.
Every excuse to stop, is a reason to keep pressing forward!
We must be faithful to do what’s right, regardless of the consequences.
There is nothing safe or comfortable about fighting for the soul of our republic.
As citizens, we have failed to inspire sufficient fear in our elected servants.
There is no problem created by government, that government cannot make much worse.
Our system was designed to attract people-pleasers to office.
Science is making it hard to be an atheist.
Your republic needs you to be an engaged citizen!
Too many people have gotten comfortable being angry on the couch.
Unhinged from moral moorings, even the blessing of self-governance can be a curse.
Facts keep intruding on the carefully constructed disbelief of the fallen world.
Regardless of our political, ideological, and even theological beliefs, an honest review of history keeps us grounded in facts as we move toward the future.
As a self-governing people, we must pursue righteousness if we are to enjoy the blessings of liberty.
Independence Day should not only be a celebration of history, but a commitment to the future.
After decades of being “blue,” Republicans let their opponents define them.
We can’t always pick our circumstances but we can define them with our attiude.
Doing right in our “own eyes” is a recipe for trouble.
We have allowed education to go from “training up” a child, to tearing down the moral and religious upbringing of their families.
Memorial Day should be about more than mattress sales and cookouts.
As a self-governing nation, each of us are leaders. Do we act like it?
Liberty will die on these shores only after we have killed it in our hearts. And so it is only by turning our hearts back to self-governance that we can save our republic.
As a self-governing people, we must daily work to build a more perfect union.
We need to redefine government waste to be “anything not explicitly authorized by the constitution.”
Liberty isn’t achieved in timid nibbles, but through bold actions.
Confiscatory taxes are what we pay for rejecting the gift of self-governance.
Our system of government requires an informed and engaged citizenry, even when the politicians don’t like it. Especially because they don’t like it.
Socialists, progressives, communists, and Marxists are the flat-earthers of political and economic thought.
What we do as citizens will determine if the Lone Star State stands as a force for good influencing the world.
Restoring our republic begins, quite literally, in the heart of every man and woman.
Republicans must be something more than a speed bump on the road to serfdom.
Most of us aren’t called to man the walls of an old church, outnumbered by superior forces, but all of us are called to face a hostile world.
Two political parties are in a fierce competition, with nothing less than the fate of the Republic riding on the outcome. The two parties aren’t who you think.
Reputation is what people see us do; character is what we do when we think no one is watching. The two almost always converge.
The citizens’ precious liberties are routinely sacrificed by politicians at the altar of contrived congeniality in the crony religion of self-promotion.
Depending on your perspective, campaigns either try to convert political volume into a mass of support through messaging, or use the volume of messaging to conceal their lack of mass.
Whatever bad things, like Mark Twain, one has to say about school boards are more appropriately directed at the citizens who elect them.
