Why Trump Challenges Free Trade
By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN: The Donald is willing to question policies that privilege shareholders and consumers over average workers. In Tuesday’s indictment of free trade as virtual economic treason, The Donald has really set the cat down among the pigeons. For, in denouncing NAFTA, the WTO, MFN for China and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, all backed by Bush I and II, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Trump is all but calling his own party leaders dunderheads and losers.

Freedom—understanding it, living it, teaching it, and supporting those who are educating others about its principles. That, my fellow Americans, is what patriotism should mean to each of us today.

America Began with a Declaration of Secession: Why That's Worth Celebrating
July 4th, Independence Day, presents an opportunity to reflect upon the principles immortalized in the Declaration—principles that, if taken seriously, hold the seeds of sweeping political transformation. The declaration is not only radically libertarian, but radically decentralist. Independence movements are necessarily decentralist in character, premised on ideas of self-determination, autonomy, and healthy skepticism toward foreign rule. And libertarians are necessarily decentralists to the extent that the principle of individual liberty is served by the practice of decentralism, in which both separate governments and branches within them counter each other, preventing any one force from amassing overweening power. Secession and federalism are two distinct but related expressions of the decentralist idea, both of which are an important part of the history of the United States. Our country was born through an act of secession, the Declaration disaffiliating the colonies from the yoke of the crown.

Why the RCL is killing churches, and what you can do about it
Although the Revised Common Lectionary (and others like it) are supposed to help develop biblical piety in congregations, I contend that most post-Vatican II lectionaries have not succeeded in their goal and that they can even hinder the development of faith.
