America’s 250th anniversary gives us plenty to celebrate, but it also demands an honest look at what we are preserving. Are the rights to life, liberty, and property still treated as God-given rights, or as privileges government may redefine and ration?

In this episode of Live Free TV, Lt. Col. Allen West examines the principles behind the Declaration of Independence, John Locke’s natural-rights theory, and the constitutional oath to support and defend the nation’s founding law. He argues that America’s next chapter depends on citizens who understand those principles and are willing to defend them.

LTC West addresses:

– Why “Independence Day” means more than a date on the calendar
– The difference between liberty and government control
– Property rights, taxation, and wealth redistribution
– Whether candidates who reject constitutional structures can honestly swear to defend them
– The continuing duty of America’s veterans
– Thomas Paine, Frédéric Bastiat, and the ideas worth reading in America’s 250th year
– Veterans and Valor in Bonita Springs on Veterans Day 2026

Supporting the Constitution is passive. Defending it requires action. The choice before Americans is whether we will remain steadfast and loyal to the republic or leave less freedom to the generations that follow us.
