Liberty’s Day Out – Video

Liberty #39;s Day Out
This is an animation for my course project titled "Freedom Liberty". This was done in 2 weeks from conception to execution. However, admittedly the story suffered due to things taking up my time and tutors grilling me about changing everything at the last minute xD Animating this was done in 2 long days. Don #39;t try to understand the story, it only makes real sense with a long explanation lol 2nd time using After Effects for animation with Photoshop.

In Constitutional Conservatism: Liberty, Self-Government, and Political Moderation Author Peter Berkowitz Encourages …

STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Hoover Institution Press today released Constitutional Conservatism: Liberty, Self-Government, and Political Moderation, by Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz contends that constitutional conservatism encompasses a distinguished tradition of defending liberty that stretches from the great eighteenth century British statesman Edmund Burke through the authoritative exposition of the Constitution in The Federalist to the high points of post-World War II American conservatism. In this book, he seeks to identify the political principles that social conservatives and libertarians should share, and clarify the common ground on which they should join forces. He argues that the top political priority for both social conservatives and limited-government conservatives should be to rally around, and rededicate themselves to conserving, the principles of liberty inscribed in the American Constitution and to pursue reform in light of them.

Conservatism is now engaged in a period of reflection that may lead to recalibration. One of the best things that could happen is for those on the right to listen to the counsel of Professor Berkowitz as he helps us to recover the constitutional connection between liberty, self-government, and political moderation rightly understood. Constitutional Conservatism is a wonderful and necessary book. In looking back, Peter Berkowitz helps us to look forward. So writes Peter Wehner, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and member of the Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations.

In an era of changing social standards and entrenched political realities, Berkowitz shows that the exercise of political moderation, understood as the ability to balance and blend worthy and conflicting political principles, is critical to the future of conservatism in America. He encourages conservatives of different stripes to remain true to their core principles while adjusting expectations of what can be achieved through democratic politics. He also urges conservatives to renew the appreciation of the limits that American constitutional government imposes on regulating citizens private lives. He concludes that the principles of liberty inscribed in the Constitution are best honored by prudently translating them into practice.

Peter Berkowitz is the Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, where he chairs the task force on national security and law and cochairs the task force on the virtues of a free society.

Sons of Liberty blue flags in the Cathedral while they organize a defense raid (these things take time). I sped up the video while WSB wrecks the pug defense raid. SoL engages at 8:04 and the real fun begins. Thanks to SoL for the fun times. Thanks to Himanshu for his leadership. Respect to the healers of our raid.

Posted on by

Downtown West Liberty was one of the hardest hit communities devastated by the March 2 tornado outbreak in Eastern Kentucky. Twenty-three Kentuckians were killed in the storms.

WEST LIBERTY West Liberty and Morgan County will get about $30 million to help rebuild from last year's devastating tornado in what could be Kentucky's biggest recovery project, Gov. Steve Beshear and U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers announced Monday.

The money would come from various state and federal sources, such as the Appalachian Regional Commission, plus local and private contributions, they said. Rogers and Beshear estimated it would be about $30 million. Morgan County Judge-Executive Tim Conley's estimation was about $34.5 million.

Conley said storm recovery projects to be funded include a new Cooperative Extension Service office in West Liberty, about $2.3 million; completion of the partially built new Morgan County Judicial Center, about $10 million; and a new wellness and youth center in West Liberty, about $9 million.

Also included, according to Conley: repairs on the Morgan County Office Building and Community Center in West Liberty, about $7 million; rebuilding the old Morgan County Courthouse, about $2.4 million; and a new parking garage for West Liberty, about $3.8 million.

The grants were announced Monday at Morgan County High School, where students, county residents, and local and area officials gathered to hear the news. Afterward, officials ceremoniously turned shoveled up dirt in a wood trough in the school gymnasium, symbolizing the breaking of ground for the new projects.

Rogers, Beshear and other officials emphasized that cooperative efforts by government agencies at different levels, from Washington to Frankfort, made funds for the rebuilding projects available.

"With what Congressman Rogers has been able to pull together from the federal side of this, what we have pulled from the state side, the local part and private sector participation ... it amounts to about $30 million that will be invested back into this community," Beshear said.

"We still have a long way to go," the governor said, "but this is a great start."
