Great article and welcome aboard! The portion on FDR is spot on. Thank you for not falling into the trap many have with his legacy. The New Deal was objectively a disaster and extended and deepened the depression by years. It certainly started the march to socialism. Now not to shift the blame but he did take inspiration for many elements of it from Britain’s own National Insurance Act. Just throwing that out there.😏
Doesn't "Reclaiming Freedom", for the average citizen also mean re-accepting "Choice", and re-accepting the personal responsibilities that accompany real choice?
Ted, could we see you campaigning for real choice and responsibility in education and health, and social provisions, to be returned to families and communities, and away from the totalitarian impositions that have been the remit of the centralised state bureaucracies over the last five or six decades?
We all need to be encouraged to " Fight for a Free Future" by accepting personal responsibility again.
Language mangling is what The Left do. My 'favourite' is the transformation of 'inflation' from meaning unwarranted currency expansion to meaning price rises. That's a dilly and has served the anti-freedom bad money brigade very well.
Remember "FREEDOM " is another word for nothing left to loose. Be careful what you wish for. We will never have a strong economy without profitable businesses.
I think that’s a rather pessimistic view of freedom but I take your point. Obviously you can’t have a strong economy without profitable businesses but it’s impossible to have profitable businesses when they’re being suffocated by the state

Thank you Mark. To reuse the metaphor, at least we were able to share our cold with them for once!

Welcome Ted, and congratulations on your new role.
An excellent debut article.
Looking forward to meeting you
