Liberal Principles from Common Sense
- Liberal ideology and identity politics are in direct opposition to liberal principles.
- Wokeism, doomerism, and violent protests are an existential threat to America.
- Reject gaslighting and reject dishonest manipulation of words. Seek the cold hard truth.
- DEI, quotas, and affirmative action were justified in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Era but now 5 decades on the policies are seriously disempowering and impeding the success of Black Americans.
- Obsession with racism is causing poverty — we must shift to solving poverty without regard to race.
- Lawful immigration is good for America and should be increased while illegal immigration needs a total hard stop.
- There is never a valid excuse or justification for terrorism.
- The Climate Crisis is real and the only viable solution is to transition to clean electricity as soon as practically possible.
- Carbon capture, climate justice, net zero, and the UN COP are all fraudulent virtue signaling.
- The Democratic Party is on a path of no return and should not be saved.
- Real liberals must have their own political party.
- America is the greatest country in the history of the world.
