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
