About the website

What do we believe?

 This website is intended as a virtual community for people who hold principles as more important than party--like the original Mugwumps--and love of God and your neighbor as more important than political tribe or ideology. It's easy for a system of political ideas or loyalty to your party to become a form of intellectual laziness or even spiritual idolatry. That said, there are some very basic core principles we believe are necessary for the citizens of a free state to abide by.

Core Principles

Respect for Personhood

Each of us is made in the image of God, which is the basis for individual rights. 

Respect for Due Process

Individual rights are protected by liberal--i.e. free--institutions. Constitutionally protected rights and due process of law make liberal democracy possible.

Reciprocal Obligations

Not only does the state have an obligation to protect the life, liberty and property of its citizens, but citizens have a responsibility to protect, steward and uphold civic life.
