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

FRENCH REVOLUTION VS. AMERICAN REVOLUTION

For a while now, I have been wanting to delve deeper into the reasons that led up to the French and American revolutions. I also wanted to carefully examine the details of each and seek answers to questions such as, "What was the purpose behind each one?", "How were they similar?", etc.  As I was reading into the subject with the expectation that each country revolted for the cause of “liberty and equality", to my surprise, I discovered that my expectations could not have been more wrong. When actually, the reasons that fueled each revolution were far more dissimilar than I realized.  Os Guiness, a best selling author, stated in an interview with Dr. Albert Mohler, (Thinking in Public, June 5, 2017): "The culture war now at its deepest roots is actually a clash between 1776, what was the American Revolution, and 1789 and heirs of the French Revolution." The American Revolution was preceded by a Great Awakening Christian Revival, but in contrast, Franc...

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...

STRENGTH TO LOVE BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Martin Luther King, Jr. provides truthful, forthright thoughts on faith, culture, and politics in the United States. Coretta Scott King says that, of all her late husband's writings, Strength to Love is the work that people most consistently describe as life-changing. Here are the key insights from his book.  The complete human is a combination of tough-mindedness and tenderheartedness.   A strong human being is one that has sets of opposing traits working simultaneously within him. "It is when thesis and antithesis are powerfully present within a person, creatively interacting, that life is at its fullest." Most people do not strike this balance between opposite traits.  Jesus seemed to recognize the need to blend opposites. Jesus instructed his disciples to, "be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." It does not seem possible but, it is what Jesus expects. What does it look like to maintain this blend? Jesus' teaching is a call for us to have both a t...
