When the Liberty Bell Found Its True Voice
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
While America celebrates its 250th Anniversary, let us remember the most famous bell, which became immortal only after it could no longer ring. The forgotten story behind its inscription, its crack, and the liberty it continues to proclaim reveals far more than most Americans have ever been told.
Like millions of other Americans, I had always taken the Liberty Bell for granted. It was simply one of those familiar symbols that had always been there, like the American flag, the bald eagle, the Statue of Liberty or Mount Rushmore. I knew it represented liberty, but I had never stopped to ask what that actually meant.
That changed just a few days ago.
As my wife, who proudly became an American citizen less than a decade ago, and I reflected on America's 250th birthday, she asked me, a lifelong American, a simple question that caught me completely off guard. It was a question I should have asked long ago.
"What does the Liberty Bell actually stand for?"
Confident in my assumptions, I thought I knew the answer. I didn’t.

"Lawrence "Larry" Patton McDonald

- By Press Release
Congressman Larry McDonald seemed to disappear into thin air.
This man, whose presence may have made Flight 007 a target of the Soviets, was, according to Warren P. Mass writing in The New American (click here) in 1988, "becoming the unifying force of American, and even international, anti-Communists." Mass states that "[b]y assuming the chairmanship of the John Birch Society, establishing the Western Goals Foundation... and serving on the boards of the Conservative Caucus and the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, Larry McDonald became the most dangerous enemy the Communists had." This was strengthened by the fact that McDonald assembled a private intelligence network against communist infiltration while serving on the House Armed Services Committee.
244th Anniversary of Battle Commemorated at Cowpens National Battlefield

- By Terry M. Thacker
244 years ago the Redcoats under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton got their comeuppance at an out-of-the-way backwoods cattle holding area in northeastern South Carolina known as the Cowpens.
The feisty Daniel Morgan, already a Patriot hero, mounted a brilliant defense against some of Britain's finest troops using both militia and Continental soldiers.
Tarleton, who was used to rushing his cavalry right down the middle of opposing forces in previous battles and winning, did not deviate this time from his prior tactics. He did not expect the welcome that he received until it was too late.
