Pilgrims of Justice & Liberty

The Statue of Liberty (being created in Paris, 1880) ā€œ unbounded confidence I have in your attachment to me, an the dear pledges of our affection .ā€                                                Abigail Adams to John Adams In our humanity, extraordinary times have called upon the hearts and minds of ordinary people to shine out of necessity for others. Is it the providence of God for human kind; his love and mercy to raise up champions as lights shining in the darkness; delivering a multitude from bondage into safety? These champions distinguished themselves in action that sets them apart. They have not been mere place holders holding a position or a standard. All of these faced opposition of some sort in striking ways; their works ultimately toppling what was before, bringing in a new standard during a time of distress; shaping once ...

Hindering The Rise of Critically Thinking Patriots / Strengthening the Rise of Critically Thinking Patriots / #theFreedomPapers #USA #education

Critical thinkers, anchored in the original foundation of the American spirit of liberty and justice, can arrive on the scene from anywhere. We are, in our best moments, the protectors and creators of freedom and liberty. The rise of non-tribal, critical thinkers is the subject of much anticipation amongst established political forces with leftist inclinations. Meeting them before they are born, an intricate system of    soft oppression based on special interests, lays the groundwork that steers, molds, channels, and re-directs human thinking and aspirations for those fortunate enough to escape human abortion from the womb. What is more, an array of injections carrying heavy metals and brain-damaging, carcinogenic ingredients, are given to American citizens which slow down brain function, and debilitate a humanā€™s neurological prowess causing us to lose the ability to speak, move, write a sentence, or in the most extreme, yet altogether common, the loss of critically thi...

Let Freedom Ring: The Rise of the Critical Thinker / #theFreedomPapers #politics #edchat #USA

A clinical teacher is both entrepreneurial and ā€˜doctor-likeā€™ in mindset. They are like engineers of instruction, melding the hospitality of creating atmospheres with the sensitivity of heart surgeons. Seeking to change and improve their teaching approach is part of an organic process, as they collect constructive feedback from those taught. Their professional sagacity is not in identifying the best instructional manner, but in morphing according to the necessities of the students, like water taking the shape of its enclosure. So it is, a clinical teacher prioritizes the mindfulness of ā€˜listeningā€™ to words, actions, and feelings, as much as environmental factors such as, student ambiance, teaching location, acoustics, number of learners, and the size of the teaching space, which regulate the teaching/ learning experience. ..................... Taking preliminary parameters into account, a clinical teacher moves between levels, ascertaining constant ā€˜systems checkā€™ on the t...

The Freedom Essays: The Immorality of Population Control / #positivedisruption #Global #criticalthinking #wisdom

updated 7/20/17 In the understanding of many, it is now clear that becoming exceedingly wealthy does not equate into obtaining great reservoirs of wisdom. It certainly does not render human beings with hearts and minds in balance and in accord with that of the creator, God. Found in religious scriptures the world over, the men and women prophets and prophetesses have not been resolutely those with vast sums of material wealth, though some have, such as Queen Esther (Book of Esther) and King David. More so than not, those with tremendous wisdom and understandingā€”that is to say, those who have been bestowed with wisdom and understanding have obtained it through God and/ or through the study of self and life, such as Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. In the case of Buddha, he was actually an earthly prince who renounced his wealth, so the case can be made otherwise that in this instance, he may have obtained a strong foundation of education as an earthly prince, giving him a platfor...

The Freedom Essays; Number 3: Maintaining Critical Thinking Safeguards Freedom & Liberty / #TeamUSA #America #family #edchat

In not raising generations of critical thinkers we do a disservice to the principles on which the United States of America was founded upon. The ability to think objectively, without bias and in a goal-directed manner supports the threads of freedom and liberty and is a service to our country, specifically to the ideals that our founding fathers championed and established. In not raising generations of children, men and women to think independently for themselves, we run the risk of creating like-minded spheres of political influence at risk of being overrun by singular political forces. Without independent critical thinkers who can recognize the powerful value to society in their practice of advocacy, we then become a nation of followers resting our minds while giving our hearts to a select ā€˜eliteā€™ political class of individuals focused on achieving and sustaining power. It is in such ways that freedom dies not in battlefields of war where our soldiers gallantly serve on t...

In the Midst of Revolution / #TeamUSA #America #edchat #thisAmericanQuilt

Truly this is the land of the free because of the brave. Now, how brave do we have to be and how many of us are needed at any given time to be brave enough in the United States of America to keep the land free?  Is it mainly the responsibility of our U.S. Armed Forces?  Is it the responsibility of the established social media? Is it the responsibility of guerrilla journalists? Is it the responsibility of all Americans? What does being brave look like?  What does standing up for American freedom entail? Jean-Jaques Rousseau pointed out that it was hard to lead a noble life where we actively stand up for the principles of liberty if we are always working to make a living. I believe he has a strong point there. Indeed, it is taxing to wage social campaigns of positive disruption aimed at keeping the American flag billowing. This is all the more so, when the truth can get you ā€˜taken out.ā€™ As it is, entrenched political special interests pacts ar...
