Their Finest Hour

"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”

About Me

My photo
Allan Bourdius
Pittsburgh (Gibsonia), Pennsylvania, United States
I’m an anti-Statist; I place the individual before government. I’m a conservative; America is exceptional because of enduring principles that must be defended. I’m a libertarian; rights come not from man. I’m a Christian; there is a way, and a truth – but you’re free to believe as you wish. I’m a capitalist; be free to enrich yourself by the fruits of your labor. I’m a free-marketeer; be free to succeed, and pick yourself up when you fail. I’m a constitutionalist; learn it, love it, live it. I’m an American; I thank God daily for the United States, because without us, I wouldn’t want to imagine where the world would be now.
