The Fred Trinity

This is going to take some time to finish. Here is my first draft. I hope you will forgive obvious mistakes as I'm sure I've made many. But by all means please comment. I love to hear your thoughts.


We certainly have a good understanding of the Trinity; I won't go there. But I think I have discovered a new group of prophets which when their messages are combined you get a strong affirmation of the existence and the necessity for a creator especially in the area of governing and economics.

All three Freds where strong mathematicians, but one was especially good. His name is Fred Hoyle. Now this Fred is a Brit and he spent most of his life as an arrogant and academic atheist, that is until he actually looked for himself.

The second Fred is Fred Bastiat. It might seem a little informal to call this person Fred as he is actually listed on his book covers as Claude Frédéric Bastiat, however, I think I know Frédéric well enough to call him Fred. So Fred he is. BTW the Claude thing never took hold, even he didn't like it. This Fred was a Frenchman and he endured the ignorance of large government intervention in France during and after the Napoleon years. Sadly this Fred died just as he was getting going. I have a strong kinship with this Fred. This Fred is responsible for the best defenses of conservative government since the inception of this country (the first affirmation of conservative government).

The third Fred is Friedrich August Hayek and this Fred saw the Nazis first hand and he moved out of Germany to help anyone who would stop this demon. Fred was an accomplished Economist and he recognized the demon to have two heads. The first head was the ugliness we've all read about, but the other was the fascism associated with Nazism. Fred recognized this ugliness had actually been borne in the US during the Wilson years and taken root in England with the nonsense of Maynard Keynes. Fred felt he had to do everything he could to destroy this demon so he wrote what is considered by many as the best defense of freedom ever written: "The Road to Serfdom". This book also debunks everything Keynes wrote.

What's funny here is that all three men did not know each other. I can only assume that Hayek knew of Bastiat, Bastiat knew neither, and Hoyle wasn't interested in the other two. But all of them are hugely relevant.

To Conservatives the existence of God is the cornerstone necessary to the establishment of a just government. Without it the whims of men become central to the formation of the government and hence "justice" is that which the controlling interest wishes it to be. Remember the quote attributed to Hitler "If you win you don't need to explain, if you lose you are not there to explain".

America is the only country founded on the philosophy of God through a Judeo-Christian standpoint. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

And the founders codified their intent through the constitution assuring their purpose:

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it..."

In the simplest terms: Respect your neighbor is the point of the Constitution and the success that our country has enjoyed since its founding. Many politicians over the years have done their best to abrogate our sacred promise to not steal, but even with oppressive levels of theft our country still has prospered.
