To stand for Peace, Unity, Freedom, Rights and Hope

Without the natural law to inform our eloquent phrases, they don’t mean anything:
  • “Peace” isn’t built on violence against the weak, whether they be poor, Christian, or not-yet-born.
  • “Unity” isn’t achieved without objective truth (if it is unity that is based on anything but objective truth, then it is based and opinions. There are always many opinions).
  • “Freedom” can’t survive the slavery of sin. Is a person that is addicted sex, drugs, pornography, shopping, or any of the other many addictions out there free? Common sense would say, "no." A truly free society helps people make choices that allow them to live freely, it does not stimulate people into making choices that will further entrap the.
  • “Rights” aren’t coherent if they cancel each other out. Right to exercise a free conscience in moral decisions? A right to exercise religious beliefs?
  • And true “hope” doesn’t exist in a country unless a person can be born into it without an attempt on his life.
