All American Blogger was launched in May 2007 by Duane Lester and Andrew Riley. 

The focus?

Conservative politics.

Fairly vague, we know.

Over the years, we have written about tons of stuff, but one thing has remained the focus through them all.

Above all, liberty. Also, things that we find interesting that we think you might find interesting.

We will write about global warming, fiscal policy, foreign policy, abortion, tax reform, the Supreme Court, illegal immigration or whatever Congress thinks it needs to tamper with this week.  The focus is always how this impacts our liberty.

And for clarities sake, we’re for more of it.

We stand by the idea that Americans are on a slippery slope to bondage, as detailed by our article, “Standing on the Bridge to Dependence.”

It is written that “great nations rise and fall:”

The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

America stands now on the bridge from apathy to dependence, and I can see serfdom from where we stand. Our lack of interest in the affairs and actions of our government is driving our country to the same ash heap of history that the U.S.S.R. lays on. As Abraham Lincoln said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

Bill Buckley said, “A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.”

We’re standing in the middle of the Bridge to Dependence, screaming at those willfully crossing and pointing the finger at those in the back, pushing the rest.

Who’s In Charge Around Here?

Duane Lester is the Editor and Lead Writer. Duane is the winner of the first Andrew Breitbart Blogger Award and former Editor-in-Chief of Liberty News.

Why the name “All American Blogger”?

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”

-Teddy Roosevelt

We don’t care where you came from.

We don’t care what color your skin is.

Age, sex, creed…whatever.

Do you cherish freedom, liberty and the ideals that made America great?  Do you understand that America is a special place in the world?  Do you understand “if we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth?”

If so, you’re an All American in our book.  Welcome.
