  “The blessings of society depend entirely on the constitutions of government..” John Adams, 1776 Civilians within the United States, Israel, Palestine, and Iran, must be advocating citizens who do what they can from their individual positions to weave the necessary civility to prepare the way for a future of peace. In our American neighborhoods, we must exemplify what is that promise of liberty within our Declaration of Independence—that in Iran, Israel, and in Palestine it may be said that we have weaved together as one people under the banner of liberty and justice for all. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and in our heartland: Let the Iranian-American children play with the Israeli-American children. Let the Palestinian-American share tea and a meal with the Israeli-American. Let our actions of brotherly love speak louder than the bombs and the rocks that fly through the air. Let them understand what it is that brings the American people, with all our different ethn...

  How I love those who bring peace. In the Nuremberg Trials after the second world war, Germans were tried in a court of law for crimes against their own people. At the time of their actions, their maneuvers, ploys, and reasoning as to their motives was legitimized as necessary means to a final end wherein a supreme human race would get the advantage as the highest echelon of human civilization. To do so, more than 6 million German Jewish families were persecuted and murdered. Woman, grandpas, children and grandmas. There was no mercy. Any German thought to not be in line with the ‘Lebensraum’ final solution agenda was killed. The Nazi German order did medical experiments on humans without there consent, and the propaganda machine of Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s news/ information officer, lulled the public mind into acquiescing unto the slaughter of their fellow citizens. There was no government of the people and for the people, and there was no government that made itself servant t...

“But now it is to be transformed into a “sacred right.” Nebraska brings it forth, places it on the high road to extension and perpetuity; and, with a pat on its back, says to it, “Go and God speed you.” Henceforth it is to be the chief jewel of the nation, the very figure-head of the ship of State. Little by little, but steadily as man’s march to the grave, we have been giving up the OLD for the NEW faith.. Near eighty years ago we began by declaring that all men are created equal; but now from that beginning we have run down to the other declaration, that for SOME men to enslave others is a sacred right of self-government. These principles cannot stand together. They are opposite as God and mammon; and whosoever holds to the one, must despise the other.” Abraham Lincoln, 1854 During the course of the 1800s, three Americans, John Quincy Adams, Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln, all meek of heart, brilliant in their thinking, and determined in their resolve, took it upon thems...

  To the heart of John Adams goes grace for his selfless sacrifice of a personal life,  that he may readily apply his intellect and passion in good service for the American people his time,  and the practical, useful legacy of his work forward unto all generations.  Unto him who was the lion for liberty and justice in the Continental Congress, who held steadfast to being and doing good for his country, goes the gift of a peaceful mind.  John Adams; emphatic in his determination to establish a government that would withstand the test of time, political change, and worldly pressures; with understanding of the foundational epocha, of the ‘gravitas’ he was a player in, goes peace of mind. “I made the three Reverences, one at the Door, another about half Way and the third before the Presence, according to the Usage established at this and all the northern Courts of Europe, and then address’d myself to his Majesty..” “I must avow to your Majesty, I h...

Gentle-hearted, not easily provoked, slow to anger, ready to forgive. Being meek, as defined in Judeo-Christian scripture, differs from its common understanding outside of its biblical interpretation. Its understanding in scripture is connected with one of the qualities of being the sons and daughters of God. Its scriptural application from the LORD describes the word as being gentle of heart unto others, submissive unto God, and humble in all of ones ways; an intelligently, aware understanding that is outwardly good and inwardly producing continued peace in the heart and mind. Moses was well-known for being meek. George Washington, though he was a soldier all his life, was meek, as can be directly understood from his writings. Abigail Adams was meek. Frederick Douglass was meek. Abraham Lincoln was meek. George Washington Carver was exceedingly meek. Ronald Reagan was meek. What is written is said as a placement of a landmark; a position to proclaim within our schools, family homes, a...

“because it assumes that there CAN be MORAL RIGHT in the enslaving of one man by another.” Abraham Lincoln,  1854 In his October 16th, 1854 debate with Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln objected to the institution of slavery, and he objected to any assumption that the delegates in the Continental Congress; those signers of the Declaration of Independence, wanted to expand slavery, seeing that in principle, it was an affront to the central idea of liberty and justice for all meant to bind the national community together as one people. Instead, he effectually demonstrated the uneasiness of the Revolutionary era Federal government, and immediate post-Revolutionary government with being comfortable in dismissing any attempt to allow slavery to grow as an institution. They wanted to constrain it and let it die, that their sacrifices, and the sacrifices of all those individuals made should not be in vain. “The plain unmistakable spirit of that age, towards slavery, was hostility to ...
