Welcome, and thank you for visiting Freedom Reconnection. I am FreedomRecon.
This blog was originally started in 2012 as a way to vent my frustrations about an out of control government, as an outlet to express my anger and sadness about a president and his political party who are in fact fundamentally transforming America into a place I do not recognize anymore, with a rival political party that doesn’t seem to want to fight back with much enthusiasm and seems content with expanding the size of government. My country is becoming a place devoid of anything our Founding Fathers fought, envisioned, and designed for us. I wrote roughly 10 posts, then life just became too busy for me to put much focus into maintaining the site.
Fast forward a year or two…I found some websites I enjoyed commenting on with people who shared my love for what America once was. They gave me hope that in spite of more than half the people in this country twice electing someone who clearly doesn’t see America as I do, it could be restored if enough of us spoke up. They gave me hope that all was not lost.
Like most of us, my life is still too busy to focus solely on this blog, but I still want a place to rant freely about topics of my choosing. I started thinking about how I could restart it and keep it rolling. While commenting on one site in particular, I noticed a poster whose writing style I liked. He has a sometimes similar and sometimes different way of looking at things than I do. Ding ding ding! I proposed a partnership with him on this site, since a co-blogger would help me keep the website current. He accepted. He goes by the pseudonym CO2 Producer. He’ll be contributing to the website. More than contributing, actually. Even though this website bears my moniker, I’ve made it CO2’s website too. He has full authority to create, destroy, change, and ban anything or anyone on this site.
We hope that you will enjoy our posts. We invite discussion in the comments section. If you’d like to make suggestions regarding topics you are passionate about, please email them to us at freedom[at]freedomreconnection[dot]com, and we will consider whether or not it’s in line with our objective. All we ask is that you not get offended if your topic isn’t explored.
Our objective is, like the byline says…to reconnect with our freedoms. To remind people of what made America great, what still makes America great, and how we can make it great for future generations. It won’t necessarily be all political here. Sometimes it might just be rants, and other times, topics that interest us. We expect to explore a diverse range of subjects, which means that we also expect a diverse audience to come check us out. There may be some growing pains as we settle in on the blogosphere, so what you see here now may not be the same as what you see here later.
The two of us are entering an exciting new territory here, so thank you for coming on this journey with us.
