About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Responses - ISI's More Substantive Test

"91%" & "60.61" were the two shortest responses I received to my request from last night's subject message where I asked everyone to please let me know how you did on the ISI test.
 
Below are five other responses – please note #5 from an anonymous reader of ReturnToExcellence.net.  This is the type of comment that keeps me honest & I so greatly appreciate.

Hi Doug: I scored 59% - so now you know I am not equipped to live here!! Will pass this test on to my spouse and see if he does better.
