THE PURPOSE OF THESE PAMPHLETS

As so stated in Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Paper No. 1, it is my aim,"...fellow citizens, to put you upon your guard against all attempts, from whatever quarter, to influence your decision in a matter of the utmost moment to your welfare, by any impressions, other than those which may result from the evidence of truth...I affect not reserves, which I do not feel. I will not amuse you with an appearance of deliberation, when I have decided. I frankly acknowledge to you my convictions, and I will freely lay before you the reasons on which they are founded. The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity...My motives must remain in the depository of my own breast: my arguments will be open to all, and may be judged of by all. They shall at least be offered in a spirit, which will not disgrace the cause of truth."

I propose in a series of pamphlets, discussions over an array of topics that stem from the subjects that seem to be, more so now than before, widely reappearing into commonplace conversations and discourses today. 

  • Political Science
  • History
  • Life Studies
  • Economics
  • Religion/Philosophy
  • Foreign Affairs
  • Environmental Science
  • Race Relations

In progress of writing these discussions, I will endeavor to provide a satisfactory and robust answer to each particular interest.

To conclude, my foremost inclination is to create an appetite for the reader to become an avid self-inquirer and researcher in the aforementioned areas while promoting and encouraging the renascence of the American Creed and the political philosophy known as "liberalism". The main tenets of liberalism are political democracy, limitations on the power of government, the development of universal human rights, legal equality for all adult citizens, freedom of expression, respect for the value of viewpoint diversity and honest debate, respect for evidence and reason, and freedom of religion. 

America is the only nation in the world that is founded on creed. That creed is set forth... in the Declaration of Independence...that all men are equal in their claim to justice, that governments exist to give them that justice... - G.K. Chesterton, a British Edwardian writer

BE BRAVE. BE COURAGEOUS.

Why does it feel like a foreign concept to speak plain truth? Why does it feel so intimidating and daunting to openly speak up for truth? Why are the founding principles of the United States openly ridiculed? Why is it that this very nation, "that has protected the God-given rights of hundreds of millions of people ALL over the globe" is openly criticized?  Why am I bringing up this particular point? Because I see many individuals that are becoming anti-American and morally backward and the only person that can set it right is YOU! It is a heavy, burdensome task that is asked of us but, I believe it is something we are capable of conquering. I am convinced of it. I believe that there are still people out there that have a strong, intuitive love of our country and knowing this makes me optimistic for the future of our country but, I realize and understand how hard it is to speak out.  Academic and other establishments are against us. The task at hand will not be easy but, it i...

CALL TO ACTION AGAINST IDEA PATHOGENS

 " A time comes when silence is betrayal." - As quoted by Martin Luther King, Jr.  Whether you are talking about a military conflict or a the battle of ideas, it is generally better to have a large army than a small one. The more individuals we have supporting and defending our core values, the more we are able to defeat the enemies of reason. And yet, countless people that share our values fail to speak up. The reasons for their reluctance are numerous.    Most people are too busy to notice the dangers of idea pathogens or wrongly assume that they are unimportant.  The intrusion of anti-science, anti-reason, and illiberal movements occurs slowly and incrementally without many people becoming aware of the larger problem. Instead of ignoring the problem, recognize that while it affects others today, it could reach you tomorrow. Most people are reluctant to join the battle of ideas is what is called the "diffusion of responsibility" or "the bystander effect"...

MEMORIAL DAY - HONORING AMERICAN HEROES OF COURAGE, SACRIFICE, & FAITH

Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army wrote the following poem: "It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech.  It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us freedom to protest.  It is the Soldier, not the lawyer Who has given us the right to a fair trial.  It is the Soldier, not the politician Who has given us the right to vote.  It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag."  "Congress finds that...it is essential to remember and renew the legacy of Memorial Day...to pay tribute to individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States.  Greater strides must be made to demonstrate appreciation for those loyal people...whose values, represented b...
