§ 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.

The Renewable Electricity Standard Is a Hoax, a Fraud, and a Rip-Off

Evil Forces Are Again Assaulting The Gates Of Civilization

Like a vampire, cap-and-trade regulations seem never to die, returning again and again to suck the life blood from our economy.

Ahead For Us: Germany's Destructive "Green Power" Costs

German clean-power boom `breaks’ the system. But Obama and his fellow pagan worshippers of “green” ignore experience of others and the reality that there is no man-made global warming.  Economic feasibility and massive loss of traditional jobs is of no concern to people blinded by faith in secular religion and confident that ivory-tower theories, figments of their own cloistered minds, are what really control the universe.

What's A "Green" Job?

The Federal government has no definition for the supposedly green jobs on which it is spending hundreds of millions of dollars.  Inevitably malodorous pork will be viewed as a suitable target for green spending.

Green Means Rotten

The putrefying effect of green jobs and a green economy destroys jobs and people’s quality of life, a modern-day version of burning people at the stake to save them from heresy.

Holger Krahmer, a German Liberal and a member of the European Parliament’s environment committee, describes Europe’s bad experience.

Putting The Oil Spill In Historical Perspective

Bad as the BP disaster is, it is the second smallest oil spill in the last 20 years. Predictions of long-term disaster in earlier cases proved to be exaggerated.

Blind Paganism

If one’s mind is not clouded by faith in secular paganism, it’s obvious that “green" makes no economic sense. Some pet “green” projects consume more energy than using coal or petroleum and, when all elements of the process are considered, actually add to pollution.

Going Down?

Some climate scientists are now predicting a few decades of global cooling.

Quote:

It’s not exactly Copenhagen or Kyoto, but the 700 scientists attending the fourth International Conference on Climate Change, sponsored by the Heartland Institute, had some chilling news of their own in the most liberal sense.

“Global warming is over — at least for a few decades,” Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, told the gathering. “However, the bad news is that global cooling is even more harmful to humans than global warming, and a cause for greater concern.”

Looking at much reduced sunspot activity and considering that the sun is our overwhelmingly largest source of heat, a cycle of global cooling is plausible.  Let’s hope that doesn’t give new opportunities for climate “scientists” to embezzle more taxpayer funds.

It's About Time

So-called scientists who have used taxpayers funds to manipulate and falsify climate data should be forced to repay their ill got gains.

Moving Closer To World Government

Ignoring the complete falsity of man-made global warming alarmism, the International Monetary Fund is organizing a world-government effort to impose procrustean energy-use regulation upon governments that oppose it.

It’s now clear that global-warming hysteria is nothing more than a tactic for grabbing political power.  The UN, and now the IMF, are acting in behalf of liberal-progressives who would impose the Socialist International as a supervening, worldwide regulator.
