America was founded as a republic, a collective nation of tightly
knit families and autonomous communities, who relied upon each
other to fulfill their needs and achieve their dreams. As never
before, "Our Virtuous Republic" provides a comprehensive
explanation to how and why our nation - once held together only by
an empowering national identity - has now become increasingly
dependent on a powerful, centralized government. Conservative
academics and politicians have failed to make a decisive argument
for our founding principles, which were born out of the blended
wisdom of English common law, Natural Law and the Protestant ethic.
Richard D. Baris, Creator and Editor of People's Pundit Daily,
identifies the unique characteristics that define the traditional
American identity; to which, the progressive narrative has attached
an unsubstantiated, "backward" stigma. Past conservative arguments
have focused only on the impact of progressive legal reforms, such
as the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments, but beneath this
structural shift is a deeper problem of values. They have
overshadowed the true danger posed to Americans from big
government; its strong, innate ability to destroy the human
connection, which is threatening to "fundamentally transform"
American citizens into a people that the Constitution was never
designed to govern. Baris uses an all-encompassing approach,
tapping history, philosophy, psychology, economics, and even
science to deconstruct the progressive argument to its regressive
core. Breaking through the superficial partisanship, he explains
how our human nature interacts with the different elements of each
political philosophy in American politics, and how it is exploited
by politicians, special interest and bureaucrats. The evidence, in
total, points to one conclusion. There is a Natural Law that
illuminates our path to human happiness, empowerment and
well-being. American history tells a story about the natural power
of close, intimate human relationships. Our Founding Fathers
designed the American social contract in accordance with their
belief in a Natural Law that - when observed - ensures that we all
have the opportunity to achieve the highest state of being.
Honoring the terms of that social contract is the true path to
progress..
