Description

The truth revealed--and PC myths shattered--about the Founding FathersTom 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.
