Book excerpt: An essential read for both progressives and conservatives, this ‘little red book’ challenges modern patriotism, calling for a return to the ideals on which our democracy was founded Over the course of a generation, patriotism in America has been hijacked by the right and abandoned by the left. But the principles and values of true patriotism—country above self, contribution above consumption, stewardship over exploitation, freedom with responsibility, purpose through sacrifice and service, pragmatism, a fair shot for all—are inherently progressive. Written in the pamphleteering style of Thomas Paine (Common Sense), The True Patriot challenges progressives to reclaim patriotism and spells out just how to do it. This powerful and timely “little red book” combines a manifesto, a ten-principle plan, a model speech, and a moral code. Throughout, it weaves between the words of the authors and excerpts from foundational American texts and speeches, as well as a parade of iconic American images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, inspiring account of our neglected American ideals and the people who are living them today--and restoring our nation's dream Patriotism has become a loaded word: one that is wielded against people with whom we might disagree, or whose cultural origins don't match our own. But our founding fathers--Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and others--saw patriotism as a dynamic force: an act of service, in an evolving nation that defined its purpose by offering all people a better way of life. In Authentic Patriotism, author and award-winning journalist Stephen P. Kiernan explores the original ideals that have been lost in our current climate, where war and economic turmoil have eroded our sense of civic obligation. Kiernan describes "a nation adrift," out of touch with its origins--and then introduces a range of inspiring people who have revived our national purpose by taking action: - The out-of-work college graduate who led an economic and environmental renewal of her blighted home community. - The retired executive who pioneered a revolutionary concept in health care for people without insurance. - The minister who created a legendary choir, with the goal of uniting children of different races, genders, and classes in one voice. - The family who donated their daughter's heart, so that another might live. These and other "New Americans" are profiled in a book that offers hope, ideas, examples, and practical resources for readers who want to renew the American spirit.

Book excerpt: WE AMERICAN PATRIOTS, we lovers of country, struggling to awaken our countrymen to the great loss we are facing ... we are the ones upon whom the momentary light of history is shining. We are the ones the world is watching. We are the main characters in this story. We are also writing this story. What we do today, tomorrow, and in the months and years to come, will, in part, determine our nation's course for the generations that follow. THE PATRIOT: A QUEST FOR AUTHENTIC PATRIOTISM IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA, presents a thoughtful examination of the true meaning of the word, patriotism. The Patriot looks at what patriotism was, what it has become, and what will need to be done to restore genuine patriotism in our land again.

Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I find myself thinking deeply about what it means to love America, as I surely do.” —Dan Rather At a moment of crisis over our national identity, venerated journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity, reflecting on—and writing passionately about—what it means to be an American. Now, with this collection of original essays, he reminds us of the principles upon which the United States was founded. Looking at the freedoms that define us, from the vote to the press; the values that have transformed us, from empathy to inclusion to service; the institutions that sustain us, such as public education; and the traits that helped form our young country, such as the audacity to take on daunting challenges in science and medicine, Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world’s biggest stories. As a living witness to historical change, he offers up an intimate view of history, tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward and heal our bitter divisions. With a fundamental sense of hope, What Unites Us is the book to inspire conversation and listening, and to remind us all how we are, finally, one.

Book excerpt: Are you an American? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, increasing numbers of people are claiming "American" as their national ancestry. In our melting pot of cultures, they are taking a stand as authentic representatives of the American nation. This growing social phenomenon serves as the launching point for a discussion of what twenty-first century Americanism means--its roots and its significance--and the unrelenting assault from multiculturalists who believe that the term "American" either signifies nothing or is a badge of shame. Author James S. Robbins describes the foundations of the American ideal, the core set of beliefs that define American values, and the ways in which these standards have been undermined and corrupted. He also makes the case for the benefits of an objective standard of what it means to be an American and for returning to the values that turned America from an undeveloped wilderness to the most exceptional country in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rediscovery of patriotism as a virtue in line with the core values of democracy in an extremist age The concept of patriotism has fallen on hard times. What was once a value that united Americans has become so politicized by both the left and the right that it threatens to rip apart the social fabric. On the right, patriotism has become synonymous with nationalism and an “us versus them” worldview, while on the left it is seen as an impediment to acknowledging important ethnic, religious, or racial identities and a threat to cosmopolitan globalism. Steven B. Smith reclaims patriotism from these extremist positions and advocates for a patriotism that is broad enough to balance loyalty to country against other loyalties. Describing how it is a matter of both the head and the heart, Smith shows how patriotism can bring the country together around the highest ideals of equality and is a central and ennobling disposition that democratic societies cannot afford to do without.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...women ad of beauty, grace, sentiment, and love of luxury, and adornment, they threw into the awful crucible of war; every trinket, every jewel, their silks and laces were sold to buy comforts for the men at the front. They nursed the wounded and tilled the fields while they held ever hi her and higher the patriotic mbols of the South, li tening too, by every art andsblandishment, the awful horrors of war. And at its close, when the mightier estions arose of military rule, of the confiscation ofulands, of negro supremacy and "what not," still the sentiment of the Southern woman was felt supreme, once ably expressed by a mountain woman of Tennessee, who declared: "Vell, yer kin captivate the men and fisticate the lands, and arrogate the South, but I'll be dog-goned if you can conjugate the women." Written for "Real Patriotism."--SALLlE BEARD Smrn. Copyright by Publishers. TRUE patriotism carries with it not hostility to other nations, but a quickened sense of responsible good-will towards other nations, a good-will of acts and not merely of words. I stand for a nationalism of duty, to oneself and to others; and, therefore, for a nationalism which is a means to inter-nationalism.---THEODORE ROOSEVELT. When Freedom, from her mountain height, Unlurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night, And set the stars of glory there! She min led with its gorgeous dyes The mill%y baldric of the skies, And striped its pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then, from his mansion in the sun, She called her eagle-bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen landl Majestic monarch of the cloudl Who rear'st aloft thy regal form, To hear the tempest...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a country where patriotism is measured by the wittiness of your slogan. Hats with waving flag prints, t-shirts with the latest, greatest phrases. These patriotic displays have their place, but they are not enough. Our founding fathers taught a different kind of patriotism, a more substantial and active way of supporting our country. Were we not taught aBy the people, for the peoplea? In a nation of armchair patriots a real need has developed, a need for capable, willing, and impassioned Americans, educated and alert, ready to champion the causes of freedom and liberty. It is not about supporting or not supporting our government; it is more than that. It is about supporting our country, its principles and, most importantly, its constitution. Defending what our country is supposed to be according to the people who created it, the people who forged the great land we now live in. It is our duty as citizens to fight whatever forces may try and steal away our liberties, whether those forces are inside or outside of our borders. The need has arisen, a need of the people, a need for the true patriot. They that will answer the calla]it is time to rise!
