Welcome to The Fix Liberty Project! We explore the fundamental principles of liberty and morality upon which a free society stands and thrives.
The Fix Liberty Project is created and hosted by Ross Brown. Ross is a Christian, husband, and father who bridges liberty and morality to stir American cultural values.
We build community at The Fix Liberty Project by hosting live discussions via Zoom and online discussions via Facebook. If you spend a little time here, you will find that our discussions are… different. Like many, we hold strong convictions, but we reject the toxicity which plagues American social and political discourse today. We the People are not enemies of one another; we are, rather, like pitiful sheep without a shepherd. We yearn for effective leadership inside and outside of politics, yet we endure failing worldly leadership which defines itself mostly by what it is against.
At The Fix Liberty Project, we define ourselves by what we are for. We generally promote classically liberal ideas in the context of a Christian worldview. Classically liberal Christians will feel right at home on this platform. But our doors are open to every reasonable person who engages others in good faith. You don’t have to be a classical liberal or a Christian to hang out here. In true form, we welcome competing ideas.
Unfortunately, not every platform is fond of competing ideas — including those espoused by classically liberal Christians. We cannot depend on third-party platform algorithms to keep us connected, so we do not depend on them. Direct email communication is the most reliable way for us to stay connected.
Accordingly, The Fix Liberty Project sends out a weekly email newsletter called Cutting Through the Noise every Sunday morning at 7:00 AM CST. The newsletter primarily consists of a curation of Facebook posts made by The Fix Liberty Project in the previous week. It is a popular publication among subscribers!

📖 "An economy can grow in exactly two ways: its labor force can expand, or its output per worker can increase. From the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution, population growth was slow and productivity growth was nil. The Industrial Revolution earned its name by unleashing unprecedented productivity growth." -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘭: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘎𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘜𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴 by Thomas Philippon (p. 13)
📖 "[W]ithout the disposition to truck, barter, and exchange, every man must have procured to himself every necessary and conveniency of life which he wanted. All must have had the same duties to perform, and the same work to do, and there could have been no… difference of employment as could alone give occasion to any great difference of talents." -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 by Adam Smith (Book 1, Chapter 2)
📖 "Especially when we are afraid, angry, or confused, we may be tempted to give away bits of our freedom -- or, less painfully, somebody else's freedom -- in the quest for direction and order." -𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮: 𝘈 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 by Madeleine Albright (p. 242)
📖 "[T]he aim of the law is to prevent injustice from reigning. In fact, it is not justice which has an existence of its own, it is injustice." -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘸 by Frédéric Bastiat (Section "Law Is a Negative Concept")
📖 "Subsidiarity is, among other things, a recognition that people are really cared for only when they are cared for on the human level, and that the larger and more distant the entity administering care, the more loveless and thus less effective the care will be. Subsidiarity often demands wide dispersion of the duty to care. This is contrary to the centralizing impulse of modernity and progressivism. It is the anathema to the central planner, who wants things 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥." -𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 by Timothy P. Carney (p. 163)
📖 "Although adversity and pain are generally beyond your control, you have the power to determine your response and the fate that comes from that." -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 by Robert Greene (p. 226)
✝️ "Now they were bringing even infants to [Jesus] that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, 'Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.'" -Luke 18:15-17 (ESV)
📖 "It will be found, I believe, in every sort or trade, that the man who works so moderately, as to be able to work constantly, not only preserves his health the longest, but, in the course of the year, executes the greatest quantity of work." -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 by Adam Smith (Book 1, Chapter 8 )
📖 “Life is a series of choices. Every yes is a thousand nos. Every activity we give our time to is a thousand other activities we 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 give our time to.” -𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺 by John Mark Comer (p. 70)
📖 "Immigration control is the idea that we, as a people, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦. Under the widespread perception that we don't or didn't have any border enforcement (which is a gross exaggeration), Americans have no power of self-determination. If the people in a democracy cannot control their membership, do the people really control their politics?" -𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 by Timothy P. Carney (p. 223)
