Call to Liberty is an effort to heal dialog in America, not to espouse specific issues and answers. Some feedback I’ve received has asked: “Is unity really the goal?” The answer is no. Call to Liberty is not about unity, but rather about civic dialog in the context of our families, businesses, schools, and churches.
On specific issues, I have a viewpoint and sometimes express it. I encourage others to do the same, hopefully right here on this blog. (Deeper inquiries into the issues appear in our forums.) And yet, we need to recognize when we are going beyond a mere difference of opinion. Sometimes we demonize each other. Sometimes we challenge and attack the foundational principles of America, which are steeped in and arise from a modern liberal worldview—“liberal” as used in the phrase “western liberal democracy.” We need to recognize these as mistakes, and identify them as such. But a healthy discussion of the issues based on American liberal principle is the central theme of Call to Liberty.
Readers should view blog entries in this context. The entries are fodder for discussion and an ongoing conversation. In many cases, a blog entry written one day may be updated at a later date due to discussion and debate. Call to Liberty is about discussion. Please, come in. Sit down. Let’s converse.
