James Madison once wrote, "A people who mean to be their own
governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge
gives." To those who seek to reclaim their command over American
government today, "The American Ideology" serves as a powerful
weapon to advance that cause.
"The American Ideology" provides an objective investigation into
the political philosophy that facilitated self-government in the
United States. The book examines the origin of the principles set
forth in the Declaration of Independence. It demonstrates how the
Constitution was designed to preserve those ideals. And it
identifies the fundamental values that must accompany freedom in
any republic in order to sustain it. Based on the writings and
speeches of the Founding Fathers, the observations of Alexis de
Tocqueville, and the critical works of John Locke, Charles de
Montesquieu, and William Blackstone, "The American Ideology" serves
as an authoritative study on the foundation of American
liberty.
"The American Ideology" also sheds light on the means by which
the federal government has since subverted American liberty. It
identifies the points in American history when the government has
departed from its founding principles. It explains how the federal
government's commerce and taxing powers under the Constitution have
been stretched so far that any kind of individual activity can now
be taxed and regulated. And thanks to the Supreme Court's recent
ruling on the legality of "Obamacare," the federal government now
has free reign to coerce individual behavior--it can tax and
regulate inactivity.
When this regulatory state is compared against the Founding
Fathers' original design, it is clear that the federal government's
authority today is overbearing, unnatural, and unconstitutional. As
Brian Vanyo writes in "The American Ideology," there is a way for
change to prevail--for the people to recover their sovereignty and
restore their natural rights. Using the political philosophy that
inspired the American Revolution, there is a way for the people to
win their independence once again. But they must first arm
themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
