A welcome, and a challenge....

I expect that most, if not all, of my initial readers will be those who followed my previous blog, and whom I have invited to look at this one. If that is the case, then most, if not all of the early visitors to this page will be a bit surprised by its format and content.

My intent with Vox Republicana is quite different from that which led me to establish Praeceptor Germaniae. My intent with this blog is to examine current and recent events in the governance of our Nation, and in the worship of our Creator, in the light of history, informed by the voices of Burke, Locke, Chesterton, and, of course, Jay. The quote in my header from Publius, a.k.a. John Jay, explains some of my rationale for this approach.

If you learned your history from the internet, or from an American public school within the last twenty years or so, chances are that you will not care for my writings. On the other hand, you might learn something, or, perish the thought, teach me something. I therefore challenge you to comment if your intent is to add to the discussion or to raise a related point, even if you are not confident in your knowledge of, or position with regard to the issue at hand, but especially if you are not confident in mine.

My posts will be fewer than readers of Praeceptor Germaniae were accustomed to, but my hope is that they will be better informed, and more informative. For those unwary who happen upon this page, I forewarn you that my political philosophy is difficult to categorize, but that I would self-describe it as Christian classical conservative with a somewhat populist libertarian streak. You have been warned.
