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!

๐ "The real price of every thing, what every thing really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it. What every thing is really worth to the man who has acquired it, and who wants to dispose of it or exchange it for something else, is the toil and trouble which it can save to himself, and which it can impose upon other people. What is bought with money or with goods is purchased by labour, as much as what we acquire by the toil of our own body. That money or those goods indeed save us this toil. They contain the value of a certain quantity of labour which we exchange for what is supposed at the time to contain the value of an equal quantity. Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all the wealth of the world was originally purchased; and its value, to those who possess it, and who want to exchange it for some new productions, is precisely equal to the quantity of labour which it can enable them to purchase or command." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด by Adam Smith (Book 1, Chapter 5)

๐ "One of the easiest ways to improve productivity was standardization. Standardization brings two quick benefits: it allows you to boost the productivity of relatively unskilled workers by simplifying once-complicated tasks, and it allows you to reap economies of scale and scope by expanding rapidlyโฆ America consolidated its position as the world's most affluent society by taking standardization to new levels in old industries, but also applying it to new areas, such as building houses and serving food." -๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ข by Alan Greenspan and Adrian Wooldridge (p. 291)

๐ "You must observe that I am not contending against [socialists' rights] to invent social combinations, to propagate them, to recommend them, and to try them upon themselves, at their own expense and risk; but I do dispute their right to impose them upon us through the medium of the law, that is, by force and by public taxes." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ธ by Frรฉdรฉric Bastiat (Section "The Socialists Reject Free Choice")

๐ "In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects." -Federalist Paper No. 51

๐ "Man naturally desires, not only to be loved, but to be lovely; or to be that thing which is the natural and proper object of love. He naturally dreads, not only to be hated, but to be hateful; or to be that thing which is that natural and proper object of hatred." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด by Adam Smith (Part 3, Section 1, Chapter 2)

๐ "The internal saboteur can... have a dampening effect on our mental powers. It discourages us from being bold and adventurous in our thinking. We limit our ideas and settle for the conventional opinions of the group, because that is safer. Creative people display great aggressiveness in their thinking, as they try out many options and search for possible solutions. By trying to rid ourselves of any kind of aggressive impulse, we actually thwart our own creative energies." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ธ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ by Robert Greene (p. 512)

โ๏ธ โAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" -Matthew 7:7-11 (ESV)
