Don’t want this to just disappear into my tweet stream:
Americans head West in search of Wide Open Spaces, Risk, Opportunity, and Freedom; not Left in search of Safety and Dependency.
That one manages to sum up a lot of what matters for me.
Fearless Dream
reflections of a pragmatic optimist, lover of freedom.
“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.”
— Thucydides
“A civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself.”
— Jean-François Revel
Where To Find Me
- I produce the “No Fear Pioneer” podcast, post daily on Twitter as kulak76, engage in smart, civil discussion on Ricochet, and publish here now and again when I find the time and inspiration for more substantial writing.
About Me
- Troy Stephens
- Formerly a moderate Democrat, I seek escape from culturally and economically stifling Progressivism to live and celebrate the classically American Way of Life — one founded in the optimism, initiative, entrepreneurship, boldness, achievement, cultural confidence, and love of Liberty that I grew up knowing and fell in love with.
I'm a "Conservative" because I am a liberal. I'm a dynamist. I'm a modernist, rationalist, individualist. My tribe is Grey.
