A political scientist does not have a physical lab and a white coat with safety glasses on as they aggregate informational flows, sifting through information, unearthing tangible ideas and opinions, analyzing these and the conclusions thereof they arrive to, but they are on the cusp of practicing informed, independent, open-mined critical thinking. Their focus is on an understanding of the interaction of weak and powerful systems, organizations and entities, political movement flows, local, national and global culture dynamics, and the relationships between governments and the people that constitute these. Abraham Lincoln was a political scientist; a critical thinker; a selfless individual who looked into the matter of what the original spirit of liberty and justice for all was, and what the sum intentions of the founding fathers of the American nation were. He was a man who loved to learn and had an early appreciation for the value of selfless objectivity, recognizing it as an honest...

“ Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..” (Robert Frost’s 1915 poem, ‘The Road Not Taken.’ ) What is ‘that road that Americans should take, if not the road that is of peace and tranquility, a road that gifts us with national civility (genuinely treating each other with kindness, respect & politeness)? What other road is there that we can nationally consent to as a diverse people, with our different ethnicities, religions, politics, and walks of life? Was not the matter deliberated upon with much thoughtful discussion in our Continental Congress’s of  (1774-1776), a committee created to draft a document that could stand the test of time and still maintain itself after 246 years as the promissory note that was the first agreement to national community? It ‘was and is’ a promise; a road’ a national agreement, a first Bill of Rights, and a charter that the American society would be founded and established on the protection of individual human rights, that we may self-determine the ...

Abraham Lincoln's relentless appeals unto the people were tactical and direct; that they return to the gentle waters of the promise of the Declaration of Independence.     George Washington To Marquis de Lafayette Mount Vernon 10th May 1786 “…It is one of the evils of democratical governments that the people, not always seeing & frequently mislead, must often feel before they can act right—but then evils of this nature seldom fail to work their own cure. It is to be lamented nevertheless that the remedies are so slow, & that those who may wish to apply them seasonably are not attended to before they suffer in person, in interest & in reputation.” What expectancy of national peace can be effected if the foundational spirit and original intentions of our founding fathers for America are misconstrued in ignorance and with designed purpose to change its meaning, with the desired end that present generations of the people become untethered from the understanding of...

What is the right spirit for the people of the United States of America, and should a diversity of thought be brought to change the originalist establishment of the American republic, or is that diversity of thought alive because of that established foundational liberty of self-determination? Is an amendment of ideological activism unto that first construction required, therein reorganizing the understanding of our nation and opening the reinterpretation of the original intentions of our founders unto the first, natural laws? Unto whom shall we appeal if we motion to stand fast in our defense of the gentle promise of our Declaration of Independence, that the public good be secured without imposition? In the Federalist Essays, the warning of the works of ‘faction’ is greatly deliberated upon as the singular danger to government of and for the people, and in the 1850’s the selfless Abraham Lincoln continued the footsteps begun before the foundation of America was established, and since ...

Painting of Alexander Hamilton   “We have warned them   from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.”                       Declaration of Independence, 1776 As faction increases in government, the intentions of the process of its self-interest working the gears of government: legislating, creating laws, and managing according to the id...
