Dr. Samuel J. Abrams is a Professor of Politics and Social Science at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York. He serves concurrently as a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute where he focuses on questions related to civic and political culture and American ideologies. Additionally, he is a faculty fellow with New York University’s Center for Advanced Social Science Research.[1] Dr. Abrams is a respected and well-qualified expert in his field of research and analysis. Expertise matters not to some. Ideology is everything. Even when that ideology is wrought with error, inconsistency, and anti-American curtailment of civil discourse.
