Independence
Following Independence Day, I've seen a lot of writing/reflection on the Revolutionary War/War for Independence. Of them all, Seth Ben-Ezra's recent post is the absolute best. This has been an issue that has been debated on both sides in the National Reform Association for a long time (I was an NRA junkie for a while, going to a conference, buying and reading a decade worth of back issues of The Christian Statesman).
I come down on the issue clearly in favor of Seth's position.

Thanks for the link, John.
It's funny, if you listen to Rushdonny you would gather that the founding fathers were nothing less than saints empowered by lesser magistrate doctrine. Then read Zinn (whom I don't endorse) and he might give a more accurate definition of the ff as self justified rebels. It should be painfully obvious what our nation was based on.
