Ward Tipton Professional Author Editor Freelancer Photographer E-tailer Photography Expatriate Reasoning

While this is not by any means a political diatribe, I think it is necessary that I state how I came to be an expatriate and why. I am not one of those seeking to blame America for the world’s problems. I do not hate America . Far from it, I love the country and the base principles under which it was founded. I suppose you could classify me as a Federalist by nature. I believe in the constitution and I believe the Federalist papers.

If few Americans are familiar with the constitution of the US , even fewer still are familiar with the Federalist papers. In these pages, our forefathers spoke very clearly of the problems we are facing in the world today and spoke with great foresight of what our country is going through now. I think that the base principle of the constitution has been perverted and twisted by both sides of our two-party system. The base principle was to create a Constitutional Republic with very limited government interference or rule. To quote Ronald Reagan; “Big government is not the solution, it is the problem.”
