Pioneering Efforts: Johnson Fulfills his Vision
| |
| Johnson’s stint at Supreme Liberty Life Insurance had inspired him to go off on his own. He had the desire, he had the energy, but what he was sorely lacking was capital to start his company. Few were eager to give their money to an unknown African American entrepreneur with little previous experience in the business world. He even tried his luck with the First National Bank of Chicago, which he had approached for a $500 loan. “I’m one of First National’s premium customers today,” Johnson later recalled. “But the assistant to the assistant that I managed to see in 1942 laughed in my face. ‘Boy,’ he said, ‘we don’t make any loans to colored people.’” |

Declare Your Independence
| |
| Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. |

WHY AND HOW TO MAKE MAKING CHOICES THAT ARE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST A DAILY OCCURRENCE
| |
| The dictionary defines choice as “the act of choosing; selection; the power, right, or liberty to choose; option; an alternative”. We sometimes hear ourselves or others say, “I have no choice,” when really what we mean is “I feel obligated.” There is always a choice. Sometimes one must choose between two unattractive alternatives and often times making the choice that is best for you carries with it repercussions from friends or coworkers, but that isn’t the same as actually having no choice at all. I encourage and challenge you not to confuse hard choices with no choices. |

Does Your Social Media Consultant GET IT?
| |
| Pardon the language, but there is a lot of BS in the marketplace and I feel sorry for those having to trudge through it, burn up their marketing dollars and get dismal results… leaving you wondering if social media is even worth the consideration. I hope you as a marketing manager or someone paying for these services will look beyond the stacked buzzwords, single page expert websites and seek some real value and actionable advice. With that in mind, I took the liberty of compiling a few things to look for when you’re considering help with social media. |

Bondage or Liberty, The Choice is Yours.
| |
| The choice of being bound and being at liberty is one we make for ourselves. There are many things that restrain us and hold us in places we would rather not be. How we face them mentally is where the captivity gains control. No matter how great the constraint we still have the ability to limit it in our minds. |

Thank God For Godless Communism
| |
| Though many so-called progressives would love to separate them, from my point of view there are two other continua which march more-or-less in lockstep with communism-capitalism. These are statism-liberty, and atheism-faith. If I correctly remember my eighth-grade history (a subject which is, due to the progressivism currently under discussion, no longer much taught), capitalism has as its running-buddies individual liberty and faith in God. Communism's pals, in stark contrast, are authoritarian control of individuals by the state, and denial of the Almighty in favor of an allegiance to the state that amounts to idolatry.

Government Takeover: It Ain't Over Yet
| |
| It's been over a century since the "progressive" movement took hold in America. Since then, the movement has sought not to overthrow the country through "revolution," but through "evolution." One small move at a time. A new entitlement program here, a liberty withdrawn there. The ultimate goal is to erode the free-market libertarian republic and replace it with another socialist state wherein the smart government leaders ensure that no one is "left behind" - and that no one can get ahead.

Progressivism Isn't Progress, VIII
| |
| It sounds like "progress," but that's only one example of how they deftly make one thing look (or sound) like another in order to produce the desired emotional effect. Everyone likes progress! But few people realize that progressivism is about as far from progress as tyranny is from liberty.... |

Progressivism Isn't Progress, X
| |
| The word "progessive" sounds good, because it makes you think of "progress." But since it is slowly taking America (and the rest of the world) away from the principles of liberty, private property, and limited government upon which the nation was founded (and which made the United States the greatest engine of strength and prosperity for all the world's peoples in the history of the human race), progressivism definitely isn't progress.... |
