Mission Statement

Hi everyone!! My name is Joe. I'm a progressive 20 something history buff, computer geek, most certainly autistic, patriotic Yankee boy, Bible thumping, gamer from the Central New York area. I have wanted to be a writer for a while so I created this website as a platform for my writing and other projects. I am definitely still an amateaur writer so please don't take anything I say without a grain of salt and doing your own research first. I have sources listed at the bottom of each post I make. I personally believe that information should be free and accessible for all of humanity and as such anyone can share or download any of what I upload here as long as you give me some credit. I always fancied my self as some sort of rebel, someone who swims against the flow, writing and doing research for what I write has definetly aided me in that quest. I think that each and every human being as value and deserves a chance to live and to learn. I think learning is ultimately what we are here to do. We learn and we use our knowledge to improve ourselves and to grow. I also think too many people nowadays do not learn and do not care to learn. The Internet has given everyone the power to change worlds, each person is a world unto themselves, if you can change one mind you can change the world. Use this awesome power you have in your pockets and on your desks for the betterment of humanity. I hope my silly little blog changes one world. Make our world a better place yall. Use you brains, I know you have them ;).

I think you can figure out all you need to know about an American by figuring out who they're favorite president is. Well not really but I will never pass up a chance to talk about presidents. My favorite has been,since at least kindergarten, Abraham Lincoln. While my views on him have evolved since then, he is still the basis of my political beliefs to this day. My other favorites are George Washington for setting in stone what a true leader of the people could be, James Gafield for generally being an intelligent man who tried to do good but sadly never got the chance, and the Roosevelts for using their power to make our nation better (most of the time). Beyond presidents though, I am also a big fan of Jesus Christ. I accept Him as my savior, believe in the Bible and belive in His promise of eonian life. But beyond that I just think He was a really cool guy and I think his ideas should be the basis for society in a purely philosphical sense. Other important influnces to my thinking are Fred Rogers, Martin Luther King Jr, Rachel Scott, Lauren Townsend, and many others.

I am very much into American history. I always have been since I was little. I do not belive America to be the best country on Earth (I don't think any country is "the best"), but I do belive it has the most potential. I think that America is unique as a nation that is made up of people from every other nation all pooling our ideas together. I think Americans are unique in their ability to innovate and change things. We have been blessed with such a beautiful nation full of beautiful people. We can make our country work for the betterment of all of us if we can come together. I believe that our history shows that when we work we change things for the better. We cannot afford to sit out life in this country. Every group here has contributed something to the American nation and everyone today has something to offer and I believe that American history is the story of that.
