What do empire, the born again, and the politically correct have in
common? Is patriotism a good thing? Did General Patraeus betray us,
or did MoveOn? Does morality often serve immoral purposes? This
book offers a new way to approach these questions, which lie just
beneath our increasingly poisoned political conversation today.
Derber and Magrass show that the problem today is not just lying
but immoral morality, doing evil in the name of good. Both
Republican and Democratic presidents, they show, have been immoral
moralists.The authors explore three ancient codes of immoral
morality frighteningly resurrected in America today those of
empire, the politically correct, and the born again. The British
preached the White Man s Burden to show empire was a moral
obligation. Bush today proclaims that the U.S. must occupy Iraq to
spread liberty. Although the right today has recrafted historic
arguments that empires bring peace, and fundamentalists battle
moral decay, the authors show that the Democratic Party and the
left have their own IM, with Democrats supporting empire and the
left its own political correctness. America s political divide
today is a backlash to the progressive revolution of the 1960s and
1970s secular, antiwar, and feminist that created a radical break
from traditional values and set the stage for current morality
wars. In the spirit of de Tocqueville, this powerful book offers a
rich and vivid portrait of America s political landscape, exploring
ideas that can help move the nation to a new morality and
politics."
