description: "Your writing is terrific." - Stephen Stone, editor of www.RenewAmerica.us. "The unveiling of a masterpiece. A classic worth reading over and over." - The author Although Martin Luther King, Jr. had a well-written "dream," OUR FOUNDING FATHERS 'HAD A DREAM, ' TOO, says the author, and "It's time to get back to the 'ROOTS' of our American culture. Pop culture, mainstream journalists, and academia drag our Heritage through the gutter and mock it, and then they wonder why one billion Muslims in the world don't "like" us! "Someday we'll probably laugh about all this," says Hagar the Horrible, every time he's surrounded by hundreds of swordwielding foes. But this is real life, and it's more like WWIII, and if we think there's a silver bullet or a purple pill for every problem; perhaps we just don't understand the "situation"! The post-911 situation was analyzed in a weekly column by the author for the Alan Keyes website. The book in your hands is a compilation of his first 29 columns, written over a span of time roughly equivalent to the second half-year of the Iraqi War. This benchmark time period, from the football season of "ought-3" (sex-for-high schoolrecruits scandals) through the Spanish bombings and election, to the Iraqi P.O.W. abuse scandal of "ought-4," both of which could have long-term consequences. Our two oceans no longer can protect us, and as the Boys Scouts say, it's best to "Be prepared." The American Revolution, the Great Experiment that was the DREAM (unlike the French Revolution that was based more on philosophy and man-made laws;) spoke more of Truth, "self-evident Truths," and it was focused on Natural Law, "the laws of nature and of nature's God." Once upon a time this was "common knowledge," and in his farewell address to the United Nations, President Reagan spoke of DREAMS, and "vision," and a "Higher Law." In mountaineering, there's a commonly heard "Gravity isn't just a 'good idea; it's the Law!" The permanent nature of such laws gave the Founders hope that their DREAM would be as permanent as the Rock upon which they built their Republic. But have we forgotten their DREAM? It has been said that the further back into history one can see, the further into the future one can see. The "establishment" educators have essentially abolished history, by putting it under the umbrella of "social science" (which is really one part "art" and one part propaganda). What can we do? In one sense, this is a book about wasted opportunities, both national and "Living a life of going to do, and dying with nothing done." Don't let that be your epitaph, says the author. The American DREAM still breathes, but it's time for the CPR. Try to figure out, if you will, what you can do about the "situation" as you read THE BOOK!
