Alexander Hamilton – Founding Father
cinops be gone Tuesday, April 08, 2008
Alexander Hamilton ought to be in the news again today. It would be a breath of fresh air for all America. As a Founding Father of our country, he wrote pages of wisdom in the Federalist papers.
There is so much more to this great American; his high standard of public service, his ideas, integrity and achievements.
Hamilton was an American by choice, and never owned any slaves.
During the War for Independence, Hamilton was an aide to General George Washington and was able to communicate with our French allies in their language. He was a key advisor to President George Washington’s eight years in office. He helped write Washington’s “Farewell Address.”
He was a great persuader in resolving conflicts and securing the passage of the Constitution in the various states. As Secretary of the Treasury he laid the foundation stones for our free enterprise system. He transformed the credit of the United States from the worst to the best.
His contributions to the development of the country’s justice system and freedom of the press are of the greatest significance. He was profoundly read in the law. In 1800, Hamilton persuaded the Electoral College voters to vote for William Jefferson over Aaron Burr, a certified scoundrel, as President of the United States. Four years later, Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel. He aimed to kill. Hamilton did not and died from the wound. We have a non-military public servant sacrificing his life for our country.
To sum Up: In the public sector Alexander Hamilton is a hero, a role model and a mentor. He was scrupulously honest. “Tis my maxim to let the plain naked truth to speak for itself.”… Perjury is no doubt, a most heinous crime.” Papers of A.H. Syrett, V. I, 65, 74. Modern historians do not like Hamilton. He is brilliant, politically incorrect, a Christian and a conservative.
