About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Presidential Knowledge Quiz

One thing I have definitely learned is that people like taking quizzes - so I always keep my eyes open for a challenging one.  Click here to take a quiz that will test your presidential knowledge.  Please let me know how you make out – even our most seasoned quiz takers should find this one a toughie.

  1. 50%. I seem to know more about the early Presidents but when I get to the Presidents from 1820s to 1930 I am ashamed to say my knowledge is shaky. There was a feature on CSPAN last year about the wives of the American Presidents - it was so interesting. I also have enjoyed visiting some Presidents' homes and those visits were terrific. Thank you RTE for reminding me about our rich and exciting American History.

  7. Took the Quiz. Seems I don't know much about Presidential History. Had 2 out of 10 correct but to be honest, all 10 were guesses.
