An example of a visionary leading the world towards the 21st Century is George Phillies and the Libertarian Party. George Phillies and the Libertarian Party are symbols of the America that yearns to be itself.
George Phillies had his beginnings in Buffalo New York on the 23rd of July 1947. He lived most of his life in the United States and was able to acquire knowledge of physics and human political behavior. His travels took him to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned his degree of Bachelor of Science in physics and in life sciences. He also obtained a Master of Science and Doctor of Science degrees in physics.
He worked at UCLA [Santa Monica California] as a Post Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry. Afterward, he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan to work in the University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. Finally, he settled down at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute as a Professor of Physics and Associate of the Biochemistry Faculty.
During his lifetime, George Phillies never forgot his duties to his country and served in the Armed Forces Reserve from 1971 to 1977 as a Specialist Fifth Class. His work with surfactant, polymer solutions, and wavelets brought him international acclaim. His Science Fiction Book «The Shining Sea» as well as his Textbook «Elementary Lectures in Statistical Mechanics» also brought more prestige to this contemporary Benjamin Franklin.
For George Phillies so loved the USA that he decided to run for President under the Libertarian Party Ticket. His attempts at nomination have attracted the attention of the world especially since he was not a «career politician».
My impression of George Phillies is that he is our country’s salvation. Our country is rapidly becoming a sick one and his ideas of Peace, Liberty, and Responsibility is what we need.
Peace does not come at any price. Peace comes with the withdrawal of the USA from Commitments contrary to the Constitution. The Middle East is not going to resolve itself unless it is by its own initiative. The Two Korea’s appear to be getting along fine. The UN and other International Organizations use the USA as a punching bag and we are paying for their extravagant lifestyle. Peace and Charity begins at home and we must help ourselves first and foremost. Any troops that are withdrawn from the International Theaters can work guarding our borders against those who come in illegally.
While Immigration is good, people must understand that every country has its laws governing legal immigration. The person goes through the paperwork, receives the visa, and then complies with the laws or returns to his country. Illegal Immigration is the equivalent of going into a person’s house without permission.
Liberty and Responsibility go hand in hand. We must learn to be accountable for our actions in the good and bad. We can no longer blame past injustices for the behaviours of the present.
I also want to add something to this ingredient, dignity. Dignity is the crown for Peace, Liberty, and Responsibility. Dignity is the right to live one’s life without interference from a «Nanny State» looking at us at every corner.
Like George Phillies, I was a Republican during the 1980’s and left in 1989 after George Bush I hijacked the Republicans to serve his personal interests. It was after a decade with the Reform Party that I converted to Libertarian Ideals [2001]. It may have been late, people say I am crazy, but the alternative to Phillies will be a gradual descent to civil war, division based on race and ethnicity [I have read the history of the partition of India], or worse.
I want my daughter who is a pre teen to live in a world where the ideals of America as embodied by George Phillies and the Libertarian Party exist. Remember, slavery is easier than freedom but I prefer freedom.
