There is a difference between a virtuous man and a compliant one. “Virtue requires choice. Responsibility requires freedom. And freedom requires responsibility.” At ARC 2026, Konstantin Kisin explained what both the left and the new right are getting wrong about freedom, and why we must recover the sense of... show more

@KonstantinKisin a weak man is never seen as virtuous

@KonstantinKisin We are building a great city with walls made of accountability and excellence. Anyone willing to come along and help is welcome. I love the U.S. so much.

@KonstantinKisin "There is a difference between a virtuous man and a compliant one." Tell that to the Stoics.

Freedom is one of the most cherished blessings we enjoy. It is woven into the fabric of our nation and defended by generations who understood that liberty comes at a great cost. Yet freedom is more than the absence of restraint - it is the opportunity to choose what is right. The prodigal son demanded freedom from responsibility and discovered that unchecked freedom leads to destruction. True freedom is not the right to do as we want; it is the right to do as we ought. Every freedom carries responsibility, and every choice carries consequences. As believers, we must recognize that freedom is a gift from God that must be stewarded wisely. We are called to stand against hatred, defend truth, and live in a way that blesses those around us. Our lives are connected, and what affects one affects all. Freedom is not absolute, nor is it free. It demands vigilance, responsibility, and moral courage. If we fail to use our freedom to defend what is right, we risk losing the very freedoms we treasure. Let us thank God for liberty, use it wisely, and honor Him with the choices we make every day.

Freedom lovers have a responsibility to reject the radical left's effort to disenfranchise millions of Virginians. Virginians must protect freedom and VOTE NO!

We're called the Irish Freedom Party for a reason. We defend personal freedom and responsibility against the authoritarian state of the Far Left and Far Right. We want smaller state, lower tax, free speech, private property, national sovereignty, and borders. #bordersandlies

True freedom gives each of us the right to make decisions about our own life – how we worship, who we marry, what our family looks like. And we believe that freedom requires us to recognize that other people have the freedom to make different choices. That’s what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz believe.

"What draws people to 🇨🇦 is freedom, but freedom also in the context of order... Part of the reason that we are Canada and not part of the United States is because we as a society looked at what was going on the United States... way back after the revolution... [and said] 'okay they are really preoccupied with freedom, and that is good, but they are also kind of subject to mob rule and the excesses that freedom can bring in its train.' [Canadians] wanted to carve out in North America a society that had a better balance between freedom and order." Brian Lee Crowley, MLI's managing director, speaking with the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation. Watch the full event at the link below 👇

We must not profess the Christian faith and go to church simply because we want social reform and benefits, or a better standard of behaviour, but because we accept the sanctity of life, the responsibility that comes with freedom, and the supreme sacrifice of Christ.

President Zelensky said it plainly: Ukraine did not have cards, it had people. Smart, brave people. That is the truth Europe must never forget. Putin counts weapons, Trump talks deals; Ukrainians are defending a nation, a democracy and the security of our continent. Their drones, resilience and courage are not bargaining chips. They are Europe’s front line. As European Democrats, we stand with Ukraine: peace requires strength, freedom requires solidarity.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. Yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies. That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.

Today we celebrate the birthday of our freedom - our own, cherished and protected. A day when we feel pride in living in a free Estonia, speaking our language, and making our own choices. Yet on this same date, we also remember a different morning. Four years ago, Ukraine awoke to war. It is a painful reminder that freedom does not endure on its own. It must be defended. It must be protected. Freedom means the ability to believe in the future and to live without fear. Today, Ukraine is fighting for that very right. Estonia knows from its own history what it means to lose freedom and what it means to restore it. That is why 24 February is not only a day of celebration. It is also a responsibility. To stand by our country. To stand by one another. To stand for freedom. Long live Estonia! 💙🖤🤍
