The Moral Liberal solicits your submissions.
Submissions should be addressed to Steve Farrell at LibertyLetters@gmail.com. A short bio should be inserted at the bottom of your column with a live link to your blog or website or both if you wish to advertise it.
Generally columns should not exceed 1200 words in length, though we do accept longer columns especially if they are scholarly works.
We are particularly looking for columns that fit into our mission statement of “Defending the Judeo-Christian ethic, limited government, and the American Constitution.” So look around, read out stuff, and come up with something that fits in, or might build upon or complement our mission in some way.
For instance, beyond what we already offer, well written and well thought out columns or scholarly articles which:
- utilize the Classics to defend the values of Western Civilization;
- draw on history to explore and unfold America’s Founding as well as other key components of her history
- which address the strength of or the need to return to free enterprise within the borders of the United States and fair trade abroad, protecting the rights of sovereign nations, including our own, to regulate their own trade (in our case, leaving to the U.S. Congress alone, as per our Constitution, the right to regulate commerce with foreign nations).
- which write out of the perspective of any Judeo-Christian faith in defense of the great moral principles of that perspective and their application to government, law, politics, economics, culture, history, and daily living
- which discuss the contributions of any one of the various Christian faiths to the march of freedom
- which promote faith in Jesus Christ
- which defend the unique perspective or contribution of any Judeo-Christian denomination within the general mission of this website but which do so without attacking other churches (excepting those that embrace liberation theology or some other socialist, tyranny promoting, immorality promoting, anarchy endorsing “faith” – and yet, if we had our preference, we would still prefer that such attacks focus on principles not individuals or organizations)
- which encourage fellow Christians, rabbis, or pastors to join us in the freedom fight
- which oppose the United Nations and its surrogates and exposes its machinations
- which oppose the idea of American Empire but rather prefer a free, strong, and moral America leading the world by example (not coercion)
- which oppose socialism in all its forms (including fascism, corporatism, state monopoly capitalism, Fabianism, compassionate conservatism, The Third Way, futurism, progressivism, liberation theology, communism, internationalism, anarchy, center/right politics, center/left politics, Democratic Socialism, modern liberalism, and so forth)
- which oppose anarchy, a necessary prelude to tyranny, the same goal (anarchy that is) the Communists promise, a state of being that can only exist temporarily because of the existence of Natural Law, or the innate God implanted desire in man for law, and which void for both will be filled for the security of life, liberty, and property … and where moral and political anarchy have entered in … most unpleasantly by men and organizations who will exploit the chaos and natural longing for security and moral order)
- which support private education and homeschooling
- which support public education in the early American model of locally administered, locally funded, parent controlled schools
- which favor the abolition of the U.S. Department of Education and all other federal educational agencies.
- which favor the abolition of all the unconstitutional ABC regulatory agencies such as the EPA, DOE, OSHA, FCC, etc., and their state look-a-likes which violate the separation of powers doctrine in the Constitution, as well as the right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty, the right to a trial before an impartial jury, etc,. and who would favor also, the return of all legals most all claims against commerce to the traditional courts, except as intended in the Constitution to resolve interstate disputes, such as water rights on rivers that cross state lines and are appealed to Congress for dispute resolution.
- which are not blind partisan Republicans can do no wrong,” “Democrats can do no right “pieces, but are principle centered which expose fraud, hypocrisy, false, and wrong-headed ideas, or legislation, in either party or any of the “third” parties; and which are principle centered in yet another way, I mean in avoiding personal attacks.
- which
are examples (feel free to come up with your own) of what might fit in or complement our work at The Moral Liberal and thereby would have a high probability of success in being published.
As to controversial issues raised in any column, the writer will increase his or her chance of getting published if the stand on the issues presented are backed up with solid reasoning, documented facts, or both.
As already alluded to, we are looking for writers and organizations which focus on principles not parties or personalities (such as personality assaults).
If the name “liberal” in “The Moral Liberal” sends shudders up and down your spine you need to know that we are referring to the American Founding Father’s classical liberalism, not today’s modern liberalism, which is its complete opposite. The socialists hijacked the word (with the cooperation of the media and academia) as they have many others; we’re just taking it back.
Presently we are not able to pay for submissions (we hope to change that), but permit and encourage you to insert live links to your websites, projects, and books as a bit of a payback. It is also our policy to have witers maintain full copyright of their work, which includes among other things, the writer’s right to simultaneously publish his or her submissions elsewhere.
Volunteer editors are needed at this time. Please submit your resume to Steve Farrell.
Send all submissions or other requests to libertyletters & Gmail.com
Best to you. I look forward to reading your work!

Editor In Chief
