Having served in combat as a Marine Corps Arabic cryptologic linguist (OIF 2005-06)
and then as a DoD contractor & USAF Civilian (GS-12) in intelligence & cybersecurity,
I witnessed American foreign & domestic policy in action, along with its far-reaching effects.
As a result of my studies & experiences, I am essentially libertarian:
I believe government exists to maximize personal & social liberty.
Going back further in time, I could be described as a Jeffersonian Democrat blended with a Lincoln Republican.
I am influenced by John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Burke, James Madison, Frédéric Bastiat, etc.
Frédéric Bastiat eloquently summarizes my mindset on law & government, from The Law:
- Unity:
I believe that in order to be strong, we must be unified, both as a nation and as an international community.
We live in divisive times, but that has been true for most of recorded human history.
When it comes down to it, I trust that each of us desires to live in peace and prosperity with our neighbors.
We can start to achieve this by focusing on what unites us over that which separates us.
Once we have an open dialoge, we can begin to find the best solutions for all involved. - Integrity: A strong influence on our Founding Fathers, the 18th century political philosopher Montesquieu wrote how a republic (our system of government) is rooted in virtue. As the ultimate leadership of our nation is its citizenry, we must each exercise ethical courage in daily life and our decisions. While it is not the place of the state to dictate religious policy nor to legislate a particular specific moral code, we must choose political leadership that reflects our values, in order that we remain solid in an often turbulent world. As corruption is ever the downfall of republics, we must work endlessly to ensure that our elected officals are held accountable.
- Responsibility: Responsibility, both private and public, is the bedrock of our nation. In order to maintain the maximum level of liberty, we as citizens must each take a hand in the preservation of our social order. We cannot trust government outside of its proscribed spheres, nor can we allow any particular religious organization to dictate our social policies. I believe we must legally scale back from government (through legislation and the court system) much of the social oversight and authority it has assumed over the past years, reverting it back to We The People. In doing so, we can reempower our private citizenry, sharing the responsiblity for our future without costing us our inherent liberties.
I believe that our government exists to protect our Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, not to guide social (or largely, economic) policy.
George Washington for his honesty, his courage under fire and his ability to keep his head in extremely stressful conditions.
Thomas Jefferson for his penetrating insights, his ability to persevere over the long haul despite many setbacks and his vision of personal liberty for all.
