Christianity: Lifeblood of America's Free Society
by Dr. John Howard. His Heritage.org talk on his book can be viewed and/or
listened to here.
After much-decorated service in the First Infantry Division in World War II,
John Howard came home with a commitment to explaining and defending the
religious ideals on which America was founded. The President of Rockford College
(Rockford, Ill.) for 17 years, John Howard also served as National President of
the American Association of Presidents of Independent Colleges and Universities
for three years. Over 40 of his speeches have been published in Vital Speeches,
including his award-winning 2007 address "Liberty
Revisited." The Howard Center
for Family, Religion & Society supports the natural family as the
fundamental unit of society and operates the World Congress of Families.
"Liberty
and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" Mark Levin -- "The Modern
Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state, thereby rejecting the
principles of the Declaration and the order of the civil society, in
whole or part. For the Modern Liberal, the individual's imperfection and
personal pursuits impede the objective of a utopian state. In this,
Modern Liberalism promotes what French historian Alexis de Tocqueville
described as a soft tyranny, which becomes increasingly more oppressive,
potentially leading to a hard tyranny (some form of totalitarianism). As
the word 'liberal' is, in its classical meaning, the opposite of
authoritarian, it is more accurate, therefore, to characterize the
Modern Liberal as a Statist. ... The Conservative does not despise
government. He despises tyranny. This is precisely why the Conservative
reveres the Constitution and insists on adherence to it. ... For the
Statist, liberty is not a blessing but the enemy. It is not possible to
achieve Utopia if individuals are free to go their own way. ... The
Statist's Utopia can take many forms, and has throughout human history,
including monarchism, feudalism, militarism, fascism, communism,
national socialism, and economic socialism. They are all of the same
species -- tyranny. ... The Statist is not interested in what the
Framers said or intended. He is interested only in what he says and he
intends."
The Heritage Guide to the Constitution
In addition to the text of the Constitution itself, the
Guide takes three widely recognized sources to be especially authoritative in
this project. First, The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, the
definitive collection of the records and debates of the Constitutional
Convention, written by participants of the Convention, including in particular
the extensive notes taken by James Madison. Second, The Federalist Papers,
the great series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James
Madison in 1787 and 1788 to defend the Constitution during the debates over the
document's ratification. And third, Joseph Story's Commentaries on the
Constitution of the United States, a classic and substantive work on the
meaning of the U.S. Constitution, written in 1833 by one of its best scholars
and one of the greatest Justices of the Supreme Court.
1776 by esteemed historian
David McCullough covers the military side of the momentous year of 1776 with
characteristic insight and a gripping narrative, adding new scholarship and a
fresh perspective to the beginning of the American Revolution. "People who think
that they don't owe anything to anybody should read David McCullough's
outstanding new book '1776,' to see what hell other people went through to
create the freedom that we enjoy and abuse today." Thomas Sowell
Back Fired by William J. Federer
A nation born for religious
tolerance no longer tolerates religion... Where did the
idea of "tolerance" originate? It did not originate in Saudia Arabia, where it
is still the death penalty if someone converts from Islam to another faith; nor
did it originate in the former atheistic Soviet Union, where thousands were
persecuted for their faith; nor in Communist China, where illegal house church
leaders and Falun Gong members are still arrested; nor did it originate with
Robespierre's Reign of Terror, where thousands accused of not supporting the
atheistic French Revolution lost their heads via the guillotine. No –
"tolerance", as we know it, is an American Judeo-Christian contribution to the
world. In William J. Federer's new book, Back Fired, you'll learn how
America went from Pilgrims seeking freedom to express their Christian beliefs to
discrimination against those very beliefs in the name of tolerance
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
The PC Crowd Has
Rewritten U.S. History, But This History Book Is Different: It's True One of
the first things Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other totalitarians did was rewrite the
histories of their nations, remaking the past to foster their control of the
present. The American Left has done the same thing in our country: most American
history books - both for students and adults -- are riddled with PC nonsense
that makes the Founding Fathers over into racist slaveholders, the settlers of
the West into genocidal land-stealers, and the welfare state into the harbinger
of the ultimate triumph of liberalism. But now at last conservatives and
patriotic Americans have an antidote:
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History is a handy one-volume
guide to our nation's glorious past that has one key advantage over today's
dozens of dreary PC history books: this one tells you what really happened --
not what liberals wish had happened. From the Puritans through the drafting of
the Constitution, the Civil War, the World Wars, the rise of the "Great Society"
all the way up through the fiasco of the Clinton Administration, this brightly
written book gives you the whole truth and nothing but the truth about our great
nation: history professor Thomas E. Woods presents the Founding Fathers as the
visionary heroes they were; discusses the real causes of the Civil War and World
War I fairly and objectively; and examines in depth the ravages of statism, high
taxes, and the war against American initiative.
Myths Lies and Half Truths by Gary DeMar - Readers will explore in detail the 15 most
deadly lies accepted by far too many Christians and
Christian leaders. Why does this happen? Because we misread
the Bible in many ways. Gary DeMar addresses these prominent
misconceptions: (These and many more objections are studied, evaluated,
and answered in this succinctly written new book.
Understanding what God's Word says about these often-recited
but rarely examined challenges to Christian activism will
determine the future of Christianity in America and around
the world. This being the case, this just may be the most
important book you will ever read.)
"Jesus didn't get mixed up in politics"
"You can't impose your morality on other people"
"There's a separation between church and state"
"It's never right to resist authority"
"We're living in the last days"
"Christians should remain neutral"
"Christians should just 'preach the gospel'"
"It's not right to judge what people do."
"Politics is dirty"
"Religion and politics do not mix"
"Our citizenship is in heaven"
"God's kingdom is not of this world."
The Myth of Separation Between Church and State,
Dee Wampler
seeks to document the origin of the widely-believed fallacy and to show that
there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that deals with a separation
between religion and government.
Plymouth Rock Foundation - "...to seek a greater public awareness and
understanding of American history, ideas, and ideals, particularly as embodied
in the lives of the Pilgrims who founded the Plymouth Colony in 1620... their
devotion to God and the Bible, to freedom and to tolerance, and their embodiment
of courage, brotherhood and individual moral character."
One Nation Under God. America's
Christian Heritage. (Online Book) American school children and college
students today are being subjected to what we call "The Liberal History Lesson,"
which goes something like this. America, say liberals, was a product of the
Enlightenment, which was a rejection of Christianity. America, say liberals, was
founded primarily by Deists, not by Christians. The Constitution, say liberals,
and specifically the First Amendment to the Constitution, erects a so-called
"wall of separation between church and state" that cannot and must not be
transgressed in anyway. Moreover, say liberals, the government cannot in any way
support or favor religious faith. This philosophy, this misreading of American
history, this mistaken interpretation of our Constitution, has led to a
relentless assault on America's religious institutions and traditions by our
educational system, the courts and throughout our popular culture. This little
book, One Nation Under God, corrects the "Liberal History Lesson," and
provides a powerful refutation to court rulings banning prayer from the schools,
prohibiting the Ten Commandments from being posted in government buildings, and
outlawing nativity scenes and other religious displays from public places.

Black Rednecks, White Liberals by Thomas Sowell
The question arises as to why America's Founder's established "all men are
created equal," while at the same time allowing slavery to continue? From the
words of the Founders, it appears they feared a race war as being more of an
evil consequence then slavery, after witnessing the what happened in Santa
Domingo (now Haiti). So they instead hoped slavery would be progressively
eradicated more peacefully rather than by violence. Slavery is not based on
racism, but on vulnerability. It was based on religion at times, but also
regardless of race. Not only did whites enslave whites, and blacks enslaved
blacks, and Asians enslaved Asians, Europeans also enslaved other Europeans,
Africans enslaved other Africans, and Arabs enslaved other Arabs, who were
vulnerable, regardless of race. Also, Christians had slaves, as well as
Buddhists had slaves, and the Muslim's Koran accepts slavery as an institution.

How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN Are Subverting America by
Laura Ingraham- They think you're stupid. They think all freedom loving
Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think
churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise
families with more than two children. They are sure that where we
live-anywhere but near or in a few major cities-is an insipid cultural
wasteland.
Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity
by David Limbaugh
will make you cry for your country. (But don't pray for your country
if you're anywhere near a public school!)
Taking Back America by Joseph Farah suggests twelve steps that include
home-schooling children, using local power to resist federal intrusion and
mandates, and insulating children from the effects of the popular culture.
On the moral front, Farah says it is imperative that the church come out of
its protective shell and become involved once again in civic activities and
politics. More details:

The Rise and Fall of Constitutional Government in
America
20 Page Pamphlet by Thomas G. West and Douglas A. Jeffrey -
This essay explains the principles of the American founding. It shows how
those principles gave rise to constitutional government and a free society,
and how freedom was extended to all Americans after the Civil War. It will
also show how the Founders' principles were opposed by a new theory that
arose in the Progressive Era; how that new theory finally came to dominate
American politics in the 1960s; and how that theory has changed our
government and our society, and threatens our liberty.
