The truth revealed--and PC myths shattered--about the Founding
Fathers
Tom Brokaw labeled the World War II generation the "Greatest
Generation," but he was wrong. That honor belongs to the
Founders--the men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred
honor for the cause of liberty and independence, and who
established the United States. This was a generation without equal,
and it deserves to be rescued from the politically correct
textbooks, teachers, and professors who want to dismiss the
Founders as a cadre of dead, white, sexist, slave-holding males.
Now, a clear-sighted conservative historian, Dr. Brion McClanahan,
does just that. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding
Fathers, he profiles Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Franklin, and other important Founders; traces the key issues of
the day and shows how they dealt with them; and in the process
details the Founders' deep faith, commitment to the cause of
independence, impeccable character, and visionary political ideals.
Even better, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding
Fathers proves that the Founders had a better understanding of the
problems we face today than do our own hopelessly liberal and
painfully self-serving members of Congress. McClanahan shows that
if you want real and relevant insights into the issues of banking,
war powers, executive authority, freedom of the press, freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, states' rights, gun control, judicial
activism, trade, and taxes, you'd be better served reading the
Founders than you would be watching congressional debates on C-SPAN
or reading the New York Times.
That makes The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers
much more than simply a restoration of a bit of our patrimony,
reconnecting us with the greatest political thinkers in our
history--as urgently needed as that is. McClanahan shows that it
was from their debates--and their bedrock conservative
principles--that we secured our liberty. He argues that only by
understanding their principles will we be able to keep the freedom
that Americans have cherished for generations. That makes this a
vital guide to restoring a sane, sober, Constitutional sense of
responsibility to today's public debates.
