Who Is Liberty Nation?

A 501(c)(3) committed to restoring, strengthening and preserving the vision of a free America by applying our founding principles to the issues of today.

Liberty Nation News is a website that covers politics, the economy, culture, media, and public policy issues, offering original articles, videos, and podcasts that challenge the mainstream narrative and promote free thinking and free speech.

An educational website for young Americans that seeks to give the next generation accurate and unbiased information on issues of the day.

Who are you? At Liberty Nation, we get asked that question a lot. So, here is the unvarnished truth.

We are free market, conservative, and populist, but we all cling to the nation’s founding principles and US Constitution. We are bold and edgy, seeking to encourage intelligent, compelling dialogue alongside wise and thoughtful readers. We seek a civil discourse that lets freedom ring, but we do not suffer loonies and haters.

We recognize that the Fourth Estate in the United States has increasingly turned hard left, and there are very few places that permit alternative voices. So, we analyze, comment, and report on the issues of the day without the filters of the elite, left-leaning establishment media.

Our writers are new, young, fresh, and bold. Occasionally you’ll see a prominent name among our contributors, but our goal is to open our readership to a new generation of thought in the vanguard of the freedom movement. There are plenty of places to read the old guard – we endeavor to advance original, thoughtful and viable concepts to the marketplace of ideas.

We are a project of One Generation Away, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. And we are true to the OneGen organizational mission: to apply America’s founding principles to the issues of today. We do not endorse political candidates, campaigns, or specific legislation. But we do offer our commentary, analysis and opinions – the good, the bad and the ugly — on all things related to American public policy and political discourse.  We reject political violence in all forms and believe the path toward a stronger America is through intelligent discussion, rational analysis, and vigorous debate.

We consider ourselves genuine patriots — the kind of people who get chills when fireworks go off on the Fourth of July, who reflexively stand up when the National Anthem is played, and who believe America is still the greatest country on earth. And we believe this nation is filled with others like us who have not been afforded the opportunity to be heard.

At its core, we believe America is still the land of the free and home of the brave.

Below are listed the principals of Liberty Nation. Click here for our esteemed Board of Directors. We invite you to read our website, comment often, submit articles for publication, and pass the word that there now exists a place for intelligent liberty-minded folks to call home.
