The Sissification Of America: A Fifty-Year Decline In American Exceptionalism, is a nonfiction narrative which addresses current events within the context of comparing America's vibrant history to its contemporary era. The book specifically examines how the federal government and some of our nation's public and private institutions have gradually led the nation down a precipitous fifty-year decline of virtues that once made America unique in world history. This intriguing book focuses on American virtues consisting of: a spirit of independence and rugged individualism, a thriving work ethic, honesty, capitalism, competition, excellence in education, limited government, Godliness, and a Judaic-Christian rectitude of impeccable character. While these virtues are still evident in America today, they exist to a much lesser degree when compared to the years between 1620 and 1961. The seven chapters of this book touch upon many topics that correlate directly with these unique American virtues and their declining influence upon society such as: the demise of common sense; the continual assault being waged upon the individual rights and freedoms of all Americans; the squelching of states' rights by the leviathan federal government; the breakdown of the traditional family unit due to fatherless homes, the feminization of our culture, the feminization of America's public schools, and the feminization of our nation's men and boys; last-but certainly not least-the controversial issues confronting America's public schools and teachers. Be prepared to experience a wild roller coaster ride as you read The Sissification of America: A Fifty-Year Decline in American Exceptionalism

Today's America would be almost unrecognized by those who founded it. (That's not a reference to the technology they wouldn't understand ) Our culture, our people, our politics have all morphed from that envisioned by those who birthed and nurtured our nation. Are America's glory-days ahead, or passed? We're dealing with Fiscal Mismanagement, Gun Control, ObamaCare, Failing Schools, Open Borders, and the Middle East is aflame, just to start with. The book touches on topics from Economics to Immigration, Parenting to Spirituality. It's time to awaken the ignorant and the apathetic. It's time to motivate and equip the awakened. It's time for the Soldier in the culture wars to become a recruiter as well. This book makes no claim to be THE ANSWER, just to be A RESOURCE. But it's an easy read, and hits on many topics, exposing and debunking myths and expounding undeniable truths. This book strives to inform, awaken and motivate, one reader at a time

AMERWRECKA is written in the spirit of Thomas Paine's immortal classic "The American Crisis," which officers read to their troops on Christmas Eve of 1776 before crossing the Delaware to attack the British in the Battle of Trenton. Unlike other books talking about the decline of America or America being at the crossroads, this book shows that America is on the wrong track and headed for its needless destruction unless the President is voted out of office this November. Unlike other authors bemoaning the sad state of affairs in America, Carpenter names names, calls out the bad guys, and states in no uncertain terms what must be done to save America from its imminent collapse if nothing is done to change the path we are on. In addition, Carpenter gives real world solutions to America's problems, including:

How America can become energy independent in two years time and everyone enjoy fuel at 40 cents a gallon;

How basic healthcare can be free for everyone at little cost to the Government;

How health insurance can be made cheaper and voluntary, and there is no need for the individual mandate or the President's health insurance plan;

How you can prevent the loss of your freedom to the new army of 16,000 IRS-CID Special Agents that the President wants to hire to invade your homes and businesses using sealed search warrants;

Learn who the most dangerous man in America really is, because it is probably not who you think it is;

Learn the policies that the new President should adopt in order to put America back on course to being the greatest nation in the World.

This book is written for young people, and especially the Black and Hispanic communities that voted overwhelmingly for the President in 2008, so that they realize the following:

Young Black men are being prosecuted in federal courts and sentenced to ten years for doing the same drugs the last three Presidents have all admitted to doing, despite having a Black President and a Black Attorney General;

This President has deported more of our Mexican brothers than all past Presidents put together;

The President and Attorney General Eric Holder are responsible for more North Americans dying than all the American wars since World War II combined;

Using the money that the IRS sends out in fraudulent tax refunds each year could send each Black and Hispanic child in the country to a prep school like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates went to.

Additionally, the Book covers such interesting topics as why Roger Clemens was tried twice while Attorney General Holder, who is guilty of wire fraud, honest services fraud and obstruction of justice, has not been tried.

AMERWRECKA gives a clear description of the problems facing America, who the 'AMERWRECKERS' really are, and how to stop them before America goes over the cliff.

It is no longer morning in America; it is not even half-time; instead, this is America's final quarter and you need to WAKE-UP NOW and read this Book before it is too late for you and your family.

AMERWRECKA, should be required reading for everyone that is 18 years of age and older.

Emerging from two decades of the Great Depression and the New Deal and facing the rise of radical ideologies abroad, the American Right seemed beaten, broken, and adrift in the early 1950s. Although conservative luminaries such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., Leo Strauss, and Eric Voegelin all published important works at this time, none of their writings would match the influence of Russell Kirk's 1953 masterpiece The Conservative Mind. This seminal book became the intellectual touchstone for a reinvigorated movement and began a sea change in Americans' attitudes toward traditionalism. In Russell Kirk, Bradley J. Birzer investigates the life and work of the man known as the founder of postwar conservatism in America. Drawing on papers and diaries that have only recently become available to the public, Birzer presents a thorough exploration of Kirk's intellectual roots and development. The first to examine the theorist's prolific writings on literature and culture, this magisterial study illuminates Kirk's lasting influence on figures such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., and Senator Barry Goldwater -- who persuaded a reluctant Kirk to participate in his campaign for the presidency in 1964. While several books examine the evolution of postwar conservatism and libertarianism, surprisingly few works explore Kirk's life and thought in detail. This engaging biography not only offers a fresh and thorough assessment of one of America's most influential thinkers but also reasserts his humane vision in an increasingly inhumane time.

"It's a curious fact of contemporary politics that conservatives have emerged as keepers of the 1960s flame. Although the '60s-that great blob of a decade most expansively defined as beginning with Kennedy's inauguration and ending Nixon hopping a helicopter to San Clemente-were arguably the high-watermark of liberalism, contemporary liberals seem content to skip over the period.In this context, John A. Andrew III's The Other Side of the Sixties is a particularly interesting act of historical recovery. Not only does Andrew, a liberal historian at Franklin & Marshall College, document just what young conservatives were up to in the '60's (activity largely ignored by previous historians), his identification of YAF as one of the era's three major student groups (along with Students for a Democratic Society and the Student Non-Violence Coordinating Committee) suggests a reading of the decade that provocatively complicates conservative castigations of student 'radicals.' In recovering an ignored part of an important decade, The Other Side of the Sixties documents the tensions that existed at an early stage in the once-strong alliance; the institutional history of YAF suggests that the conflict will only become more heated." -Reason "There are good histories of post-WW II conservative thought such as George H. Nash's The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, since 1945 (CH, Oct '76), but there has long been a need for more serious scholarship on postwar American conservative movements. Andrew (history, Franklin & Marshall College) expertly fills this need for one movement-Young Americans for Freedom-which, as he points out, was the most controversial youth movement in US politics in the first half of the 1960's. Andrew is especially sharp in providing a rewarding look inside YAF in these years, explaining its organizational dynamics, its leadership and their interpersonal conflicts, and the factional struggles over distinguishing YAF from both liberal Republicans and John Birchers." -Choice "Andrew makes a significant contribution to sixties' historiography by refocusing scholarly and public attention on the activities of conservative youth during that tumultuous decade."-Mary C. Brennan, author of Turning Right in the Sixties "Professor Andrew's book fills a gaping hole in the social/political history of the sixties. He tells us now of the spirited movement of young people that peaked in the election of Ronald Reagan."-William F. Buckley, Jr. "A fascinating account of a too long overlooked aspect of the 1960s: the counterattack of America's young conservatives who battled the left courageously and ultimately won the war."-William A. Rusher, Distinguished Fellow of the Claremont Institute What were young conservatives doing in the 1960s while SDS and SNCC were working to move the political center to the left? The Other Side of the Sixties offers a gripping account of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), an organization that became a leading force in promoting conservative ideas and that helped lay the groundwork for today's conservatism. John Andrew has mined unique archival material to document YAF's efforts to form a viable organization, define a new conservatism, attack the liberal establishment, and seize control of the Republican party, all while battling voter hostility and internal factionalism. The author also uncovers the Kennedy administration's use of the IRS to subvert YAF and other right-wing organizations through tax audits and investigations. By painting a more balanced portrait of political thinking in the sixties, Andrew offers a new and much needed look at the ideological atmosphere of a vibrant decade.

Written from the viewpoint of a widely experienced environmental scientist, the book discusses the roots, characteristics, and effects of the usually unmentioned elephant in the room when environmental issues are being considered. This is the conservative political mindset, which tends to block environmental reforms based largely on ideological principle. When coupled with similar drives in much of industry the combination has historically been and will continue to be a force in delaying and obstructing environmental action, including most recently relating to global climate change. In trying to figure out why one of our two main political ideologies includes an apparent contradiction to a basic survival interest, conserving their living environment for the benefit of their offspring (if not for themselves), Lechich looked into relevant works including evolution sciences, anthropology and psychology for possible answers. He concludes that there seems to be clear linkages between our primal behavioral strategies and our modern political ideologies. The results of this evolution are that particular characteristics of either ideology are very tightly held by those individuals who have inherited a pronounced version. Psychological studies have linked conservatism with strongly held characteristics which relate to opposition toward environmentally-oriented restrictions. He also shows that cooperation has often been an important behavioral path in our evolution, and makes the case that it would surely be the better survival strategy in the dire environmental conditions we face today. In fact, he concludes that conservatism has become an evolutionary maladaptation when it comes to managing our environment. Lechich hopes that by clearly demonstrating the in-grained and thereby basically thoughtless nature of much of conservatism's antagonism toward environmental reforms, political moderates and independents will be more dismissive of their anti-environmental stance and attacks, clearing the way for more cooperative, democratic action to deal with our looming environmental problems.

"Suicide of the Fittest: How the Frisbee/Milkdud Conspiracy is Destroying Western Civilization" (ISBN 0985598700) presents a learned and satiric description of how Western culture has lost its way. Through impassioned reasoning and marshalling of facts, Haynes shows how Western culture is slowly committing suicide as it "charitably" tolerates a worldview that works ultimately against society's best interests. He argues that as a culture we are allowing ourselves to be exploited by humanity's worst elements through our aspirations of tolerance and goodness. Intended to reshape readers' views on the future development of our nation and culture, "Suicide of the Fittest" mixes realism with biting humor, while taking a lacerating and comedic look at the most serious of topics.

Your attention please, look at the book cover, what do you see? "Save the Planet, Muslim Moon and Rainbow Cloud." These are your new American colors. No longer will America be represented by old Red, White and Blue colors. Today America is represented by colors of purple, black, green and yellow liberalism]. The majority of real Americans consider these new colors toxic to the spirit of America. Many other Americans believe the new colors have already poisoned the spirit of America. The indoctrination of these new liberal colors have prompted the title of this book; "American Coloring Book- Poisoned Colors." **** Prior to 2008 America was considered a master piece coloring book grafting all colors of the world people]. Today America is considered a waste dump for other nations refuge and trash undesirables and law breakers]. **** As America is led to the slaughter house of socialism and communism by its 2008 Manchurian Candidate, songs of rebellion have begun to rise from its Conservative and Christian constituents. It used to be that liberals rose up to revolt against government encroachment upon freedom and liberty; today liberals are the government. **** On May 4th 1970 four Kent State University students were killed during their protest demonstration by National Guard troops. From that deadly event a song called "OHIO" emerged as the liberal national theme song for all time. **** Today Conservatives and Christians have started to echo their own theme song which is similar to the liberal theme song "OHIO," but with words of convicting truth. In the Conservative theme song of protest, four Americans are identified as patriots who were left to be killed by Muslim Terrorist in Benghazi Libya. Under the command of America's 2008 Manchurian Candidate and his Secretary of State the White House decided to allow four American patriots to be killed by Muslim Terrorist. Here are the lyrics from America's new protest theme song produced by American Coloring Book Publishing. **** BENGHAZI OHIO SONG **** Obama and Clinton running; We four are left alone. Tonight we hear the Muslims; Benghazi four no more ////Blaming videos on it, Obama has turned us down; Should have been gone long before.

"You Can Go To Church on Sunday and Vote For Barack Obama on Tuesday" is written by a middle aged, middle class husband and father who had grown up loving Def Leppard, the politics of Reagan and the economics of Milton Friedman. It was not until he considered supporting a Democrat for President did this author personally experience the persistent demonization of Democrats by the Christian right. The intention of this book is not to demonstrate that Democrats are righteous, but rather to debunk those who would suggest that the Republican Party has a claim to righteousness. Dan does this through comparing the policy positions of both parties to scripture and includes personal anecdotes and historical analysis.

Tea Party political passions, first seen in demonstrations and town meetings, now echo through statehouses and governors' mansions. In many states, 2009 and 2010 voters re-elected or elected new Republican governors with Tea Party backing. Tea Party activists were blunt in expressing their views and many Tea Party governors, like Chris Christie, echoed that style. Others, like Rick Snyder, had a mellower tone. This book of quotations by two Maine political scientists collects Tea Party governors' words from mild to wild, from bombastic to cautious, and from harsh to gentle. American politics fans will be entertained by these quotations, and will also better understand these 14 governors - Jan Brewer, Sam Brownback, Chris Christie, Tom Corbett, Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Paul LePage, Susana Martinez, "Butch" Otter, Sean Parnell, Rick Perry, Rick Scott, Rick Snyder, and Scott Walker.

In this well-researched book, Philip Massolin takes a fascinating look at the forces of modernization that swept through English Canada, beginning at the turn of the twentieth century. Victorian values - agrarian, religious - and the adherence to a rigid set of philosophical and moral codes were being replaced with those intrinsic to the modern age: industrial, secular, scientific, and anti-intellectual. This work analyses the development of a modern consciousness through the eyes of the most fervent critics of modernity - adherents to the moral and value systems associated with Canada's tory tradition. The work and thought of social and moral critics Harold Innis, Donald Creighton, Vincent Massey, Hilda Neatby, George P. Grant, W.L. Morton, Northrop Frye, and Marshall McLuhan are considered for their views of modernization and for their strong opinions on the nature and implications of the modern age. These scholars shared concerns over the dire effects of modernity and the need to attune Canadians to the realities of the modern age. Whereas most Canadians were oblivious to the effects of modernization, these critics perceived something ominous: far from being a sign of true progress, modernization was a blight on cultural development. In spite of the efforts of these critics, Canada emerged as a fully modern nation by the 1970s. Because of the triumph of modernity, the toryism that the critics advocated ceased to be a defining feature of the nation's life. Modernization, in short, contributed to the passing of an intellectual tradition centuries in the making and rapidly led to the ideological underpinnings of today's modern Canada.

For a number of years I have watched with growing concern, while America slipped into a pattern where entitlements seem to outweigh opportunity in public policy. This book contains ideas to reverse that trend and reassert the free enterprise principles that made America the envy of the world.

Fiorello LaGuardia is known best as the tempestuous mayor of New York City in the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in the White House. There had been, however, an earlier time, which matched his mayoralty years in sheer drama and perhaps surpassed them in lasting achievement-LaGuardia's years in Congress.

He served in the House of Representative almost continuously from 1917 to 1933, representing two ethnically diverse congressional districts: the Fourteenth (Greenwich Village), from 1917 to 1919, and the Twentieth (East Harlem), from 1923 to 1933. Although barred from important committee posts because of his political independence and thus denied from playing a direct role in lawmaking, he was a tireless and vocal champion of Progressive causes, from allowing more immigration and removing U.S. troops from Nicaragua to speaking up for the rights and livelihoods of striking miners, impoverished farmers, oppressed minorities, and struggling families. A goad to the era's plutocrats and their enablers in government, LaGuardia fought for progressive income taxes, greater government oversight of Wall Street, and national employment insurance for workers idled by the Great Depression.

In this book, first published by Cornell University Press in 1959, Howard Zinn establishes LaGuardia's tenure in Congress as a vital link between the Progressive and New Deal eras, offering a lively and informative account of his many legislative battles, his political philosophy, and the distinctly urban (specifically, New York City) sensibilities he brought to the Progressive movement.

Conscience of a Conservative reignited the American conservative movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced countless conservatives in the United States, helping to lay the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980. It covers topics such as education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. This significant book lays out the conservative position both politically and economically that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in American, clearly defining Goldwater's uncompromising political views. Goldwater held freedom as the highest value in American society: freedom from law, freedom from government, freedom from anybody else's vision but your own. Much more than a political tract or soulless campaign book of the sort generated by every modern presidential campaign, Goldwater's book continues to be read today because it lays out an intriguing political philosophy. Goldwater's conservatism is not isolationism, nor is it a cold-blooded commitment to the 'haves' as against the 'have-nots.' It is the creed of a fighter who has both a warm heart and a clear mind. Even today, there is more harsh fact and hard sense in this slight book than will emerge from all of the chatter of a normal session of Congress. One of a handful of truly authentic conservatives, Goldwater was said to speak with "the clarity of courage and the courage of clarity."

Karl Popper is best known for his contributions to the philosophy of science and the history of ideas. Elements of Popper's thought were clearly libertarian or conservative in character. His politics, however, were recognisably social democratic. His ideal of an open society was not a free market utopia, but a political community in which diverse people engaged with one another in constructive dialogue to seek political solutions to common problems. If Popper made important and enduring contributions to the libertarian and conservative traditions, it would be a mistake to uncritically label him a conservative or libertarian. Rather, Popper was a scholar who contributed to a range of different fields without being shackled to one particular perspective or approach. It is in this context that we should understand Popper's contribution to libertarian and conservative thought.

In 1980 I voted for the first time as an adult. I was 21 years old. I went to the GOP convention in Dallas and sold campaign buttons for the Reagan/Bush campaign. It was thrilling. As a native Texan I had grown up believing in the Republican party, in Conservative principles, and economic theory. Over the course of my life, and as I have studied politics and economics, I have learned that the policies of the GOP are unsustainable, even illogical. What I share with you in this open letter, is what I have learned. We are being lied to by Republican politicians. They do not represent our best interests, indeed it is easy to show that they in fact use us to gain and keep power - pretending to stand for what we believe, while padding the pockets of business interests who funnel them millions in contributions - against the very basic good of those who vote them into office. If you keep an open mind, and are a seeker of the truth, I believe you will see - at some point in your reading - that I am right.
