Freedom is Trending

Always searching for the real thing
Living like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holding the key
When you believe it
--Michael McDonald

Following the president's state of the union address, a designate from the opposing political party responds. Last night, there were two responses.

One came from Senator Marco Rubio who delivered the 'official' GOP response. The other came from Senator Rand Paul who delivered the Tea Party response (here is a side-by-side comparison of Obama, Rubio, Paul comments).

Symbolic, it seems, of the divide inside the Republican party. Old Schoolers view the strife as a nuisance and figure that, with some co-opting, the Big Government Right will be unified in time for the mid terms.

Awareness is building, however, that the traditional GOP is not much different than the Democrats. Demand is growing for different political representation--representation grounded in liberty.

The political landscape is changing because freedom is trending.

We need to reclaim our American system of limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulations, and sound money, which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity. And it has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.
