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...

WHEN A NATION LOSES ITS MEMORY

As I delve more and more into history, I am continuously astonished (I probably shouldn't be by now, haha) by the realization that history may not exactly REPEAT itself but, it sure does RHYME. After all, where else can a nation look to for guidance but in its own memorable history or other nations' histories, for that matter, in attempt to learn from or avoid making the same mistakes in future? Is that not the whole idea? Our duty to create a better future? How will posterity judge us? If history is a nation's memory, then America has national Alzheimer's.  Pulitzer Prize winning historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. wrote in an op-ed titled "Folly's Antidote" (The New York Times, January 1, 2007):  History is to the nation as memory is to the individual. As persons deprived of memory become disoriented and lost not knowing where they have been and where they are going, so a nation denied a conception of the past will be disabled in dealing with its presen...
