Overview
I love America. But it’s becoming the kind of love you have for a petulant child or an overbearing parent. Abandonment is out of the question and a much needed personality adjustment seems unlikely.
America is teetering on the edge of an ethical and financial precipice, and we have not only lost sight of our moral compass but also our communal common sense. We’ve let political correctness and dogmatism paralyze our collective outrage and subdue our patriotic ire.
Big business has become greedy and hostile towards us while our government has become uncompromisingly impotent.
Can we be “fixed”, or have we succumbed to an inevitable downgrading of our lifestyles, moral values, esteem and world status?
We have no choice but to fix US. But first we have to identify who we were, who we’ve become, and who we want to be. We’ve become mean and irritable, and a mere shadow of our former omnipotent selves.
We need answers and guidance. The Meaning of America is a blatantly honest attempt to provide both. A no holds barred discussion of politics, sex, religion and other third rail topics.
If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you how beautiful we are, then this isn’t the book for you. If you want the unvarnished truth…it is.
