America is Indispensable: Staying on the Current Path Means the End of Freedom for Us and the World
The new #1 bestselling new release, Rediscovering America by Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Scott S. Powell addresses the urgent challenges in America today head-on by succinctly explaining the qualities of character that enabled America to overcome impossible odds and become the world's greatest and most prosperous nation in just 150 years. Powell convincingly explains how the past provides the answers to save our future.
The United States is not just another nation; the concept of America has always carried big and positive attributes. From the first settlers to today's arrivals in America, immigrants remind us that the mythic sense of America as being a place of refuge, a land of second chances, renewal and new beginnings, a place of unexplored frontiers with unlimited possibilities is so enduring and compelling. According to Powell, America's role in history and in the world isn't just unique and important, it's indispensable.
In Rediscovering America, you'll learn:
· Why America is the most indispensable country in
the world;
· Why America is the number one destination for
immigrants, and what makes America so attractive in comparison to other
countries;
· How Rediscovering America speaks to
Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project;
· In our current age of cancel culture, how the past
is relevant and how it can benefit the present;
· How, in the face of clamor and pressure to
change or replace the U.S. Constitution, why it is is still so relevant and
vital; and
· The key correctives to corruption and abuse of power, which are bringing ruin to America.
The concept of America as the land of the free and the home of the brave is under greater attack from internal and external enemies than ever before, threatening to end life in our constitutional republic as we have known it. What started out as revisionist history being introduced to school curriculum sixty years ago has become blatant anti-American propaganda and critical race theory indoctrination. The "woke" agenda now threatens to destroy Americans' self-esteem and their connection to our heritage.
The government's response to the COVID-19 viral epidemic, with the unprecedented lockdown of healthy Americans, the closing of schools and businesses – and, thus, the economy – have not only been an illegal violation of our Constitutional rights, but in some cases have been nothing short of crimes against humanity. Adding insult to injury, the radical left has supported Antifa and BLM activists and militants as they tore down and defaced historical monuments and engaged in the most widespread rioting, looting, and the costliest destruction of property in American history (perhaps with the exception of the Civil War).
Then came social media's annihilation of Americans' First Amendment rights by imposing and enforcing new levels of mass censorship, blacklisting and cancellation of people – including the President of the United States – and even blocking public access to life-saving health information. And with the willfully orchestrated voting irregularities, the politicization of the judiciary, and the near destruction of the separation of powers, the United States now faces unprecedented challenges to its survival.
Rediscovering America makes a convincing case that
our present problems can be solved by understanding and implementing the basics
of the past. The sword of truth enables the reader to cut through propaganda
such as the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory and gain a full appreciation
of what it really means to be an enlightened American who delights in the
vision of Martin Luther King, whose timeless truth – that people
"should not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character" – is the absolute standard that cannot be eclipsed.
