These are the issues and questions at hand. The American Revolution set up The United States to be a beacon of freedom for the world, but as she approaches 250 years as a nation, her fiercest battle may be against herself. "Politicization, [is] the idolatry of politics that trusts politics to do more than politics can do, and therefore turns all issues into political issues. The result is to prioritize the political at the expense of the personal." (p. 31) In this new era of political warfare, fellow citizens have waged war against America. What does the future hold, and what are the key factors that need to be addressed? Where do patriots need to focus their efforts to assure that America remains the land of the free? |
