§ Statement of Purpose

The View from 1776 presents a framework to understand present-day issues from the viewpoint of the colonists who fought for American independence in 1776 and wrote the Constitution in 1787. Knowing and preserving those understandings, what might be called the unwritten constitution of our nation, is vital to preserving constitutional government. Without them, the bare words of the Constitution are just a Rorschach ink-blot that politicians, educators, and judges can interpret to mean anything they wish.

"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams, to the Officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798.

Bitter-end Liberalism?

According to an Associated Press release dated August 22, 2005: 

“WASHINGTON—Harvard scientists announced they have discovered a way to fuse adult skin cells with embryonic stem cells, a promising breakthrough that could lead to the creation of useful stem cells without first having to create and destroy human embryos.”

It has been true for some time that scientists can successfully use stem cells from sources other than embryos.  Will liberal hedonists continue to insist nonetheless that only embryonic stem cells must be used if science is to survive?  That phony assertion, of course, has all along been no more than a rationalization for sexual promiscuity and murder-by-abortion.
