This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John first heard the term political correctness in 1975. When he asked his friend, what is that? After the explanation, John replied, "That is the biggest conversation killer I have ever heard." John felt it was wrong but had no wherewithal to challenge it. For thirty-five years, it bothered him. It wasn't until twenty-eleven that, looking at a possible second term for Obama, he finally coined the phrase "Constitutional correctness trumps political correctness."In 2010, John created a website to present his research results to anyone who wanted to reference it. He added a blog tab to capture his thoughts on current issues as they drew his attention. Most of those blog entries are incorporated in this book Constitutional Correctness Trumps Political Correctness. Read, enjoy, and contemplate the content.Preparing his website for the twenty-sixteen election, he was watching the candidates in the presidential preference primary, he switched his choice from the Texas candidate to Trump because of Trump's tenacity. John was certain that if next Republican candidate was a true American and believed in the Constitution, he would be vilified by the establishment, the socialist Democrats, and the globalists and Trump appeared to be a fighter. As president, he has suffered the lies of the establishment and fought back, all the while he was able to fulfill many of his campaign promises. The Republican establishment, the socialist Democrats, and the globalists just slowed him down. The voters made the right choice.We Patriotic Americans are in a war and our enemy is within our borders. As voters in this revolutionary war, we need to be able to recognize who the enemy is, what weapons he uses and the scope of the battlefield. We also need to know who are our allied candidates.

This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, debates surrounding “political correctness” (PC) have once again intensified in the United States and other Western countries. Although PC has a long history, the term today is typically associated with a type of leftist-progressive puritanism that prevents people from speaking their minds or voicing uncomfortable truths that might “offend” members of marginalized groups or communities. In many respects, the political ascendancy of Donald J. Trump, and his appeal to millions of people not only in the USA, but around the world, hinges on the belief that his presidency represents a repudiation of the repressiveness associated with PC. Indeed, throughout his political campaign, Trump declared himself to be an “anti-PC” president who would always “speak his mind” and “tell it like it is.” However, while many celebrated Trump’s maverick, anti-PC stance, others saw this as an attack on basic standards of decency and civil discourse. Timely and important, this collection is authored by scholars from various disciplines, and will be of interest to educators, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as anyone interested in the debates associated with the so-called “culture wars” in the West. Each chapter addresses how the PC debate has continued to shape social and political discourse in different areas, including race relations, gender issues, terrorism and national security, higher education, the media, and immigration. The point is made that while some of the criticisms directed against PC are worthy of serious consideration and discussion, it is also true that PC, particularly in the era of Trump, has been increasingly employed as a form of ideological scapegoat to delegitimize and roll back language, attitudes, values, behaviors, and policies that are vital for promoting objectives associated with gender and racial equality, human rights, democracy, empathy, fairness, multiculturalism, and inclusive curricula.

Book excerpt: In the wake of an extremely contentious U.S. presidential election that touched upon several hot-button issues including the right to marry and the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, debate has erupted regarding the language people use to describe both political issues and groups of people. This book takes a look at the widening gap between those who believe political correctness is an unnecessary affectation and those who believe a greater good can be achieved with increased sensitivity in how we talk to, and about, each other. Through analyzing a range of viewpoints, students are encouraged to form their own opinions on this important topic.

Book excerpt: Winner, Bronze, 2020 Foreword Indies, Political and Social Sciences Winner, 2021 PROSE Award for Government & Politics "Deserves a place alongside George Orwell’s 'Politics and the English Language'. . . . one of the most important political books of this perilous summer."—The Washington Post "A must-read"—Salon "Highly recommended"—Jack Shafer, Politico Featured in "The Best New Books to Read This Summer" and "Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2020"—Literary Hub Historic levels of polarization, a disaffected and frustrated electorate, and widespread distrust of government, the news media, and traditional political leadership set the stage in 2016 for an unexpected, unlikely, and unprecedented presidential contest. Donald Trump’s campaign speeches and other rhetoric seemed on the surface to be simplistic, repetitive, and disorganized to many. As Demagogue for President shows, Trump’s campaign strategy was anything but simple. Political communication expert Jennifer Mercieca shows how the Trump campaign expertly used the common rhetorical techniques of a demagogue, a word with two contradictory definitions—“a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power” or “a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient times” (Merriam-Webster, 2019). These strategies, in conjunction with post-rhetorical public relations techniques, were meant to appeal to a segment of an already distrustful electorate. It was an effective tactic. Mercieca analyzes rhetorical strategies such as argument ad hominem, argument ad baculum, argument ad populum, reification, paralipsis, and more to reveal a campaign that was morally repugnant to some but to others a brilliant appeal to American exceptionalism. By all accounts, it fundamentally changed the discourse of the American public sphere.

Book excerpt: How come most career politicians who make between $125,000 to $175,000 a year are worth tens of millions of dollars when they leave office? How were they able to accumulate such wealth? To clarify my first observation, remember when President Obamas US Senate seat ($175,000 yearly) was available and someone offered $5,000,000 to buy it? If politics were legitimate, it would take almost forty years to get back their initial investment. I think they must know something the rest of us dont know! I believe many Republican politicians have a misguided sense of security. They believe that the voters want a change in leadership in Washington when in reality, they want to change how government operates. Washington has become completely dysfunctional because most of our elected officials are lawyers. Lawyers are process-focused and, therefore, love complexity. They practice manipulation and distortion when arriving at their conclusions. That is why illegal immigration is not enforced. Our laws state that it is against the law to enter our country illegally, and our fearless leaders in Washington will not enforce the law. They have manipulated truth to fit their political agenda. This is the same agenda that justified giving hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes to pass the National Health Care Bill. They cheat, lie, and steal in the name of politics and are ready to condemn those on Wall Street for less. The problem is exacerbated with their judicial mentality. Procedures have replaced truth, and common sense has become uncommon. Politicians/lawyers will always justify this distortion and condemn those that question these methods. Organizations like the ACLU make a mockery of traditional truth and justice. They are our nations worst enemy. They have manipulated our Constitution by defending the rights of the criminal to the detriment of the victim. Capitol Hill is referred to as the Last Plantation by Washington insiders. Can anyone argue with that analysis? Our politicians/lawyers are ruining our country and becoming wealthy in their efforts. The Tea Party has succeeded in bringing this criminal behavior to the forefront. Term limits should become law, and the Congress should not be allowed to pass anything for the American people that they themselves do not participate in. Our Constitution is Americas perfect blueprint, and it is being marginalized. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. (Abe Lincoln)

Book excerpt: With the election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, Americans experienced a sense of relief and joy, knowing they could again participate in a vibrant business environment that offers them the power of self-determination and the freedom to pursue their life goals and live according to their faith, unencumbered by political correctness and the stifling ideology of creeping socialism. For the last fifty or so years, the dark-side left have, though academia, the entertainment industry, deep-state bureaucrats, and the liberal big media, successfully been undoing the centuries-old institutions of free market economies, which has created unprecedented wealth the world over. In its place, the dark-side left have been molding these institutions to reflect their warped ideology of a new socialist world order, with no boarder and based on a Marxist, "progressive left" utopia, an oxymoron, if there ever is one. The long-term strategy for achieving their transition relies on undermining the economic engine by enacting burdensome big government regulations; by imposing political correctness and identity politics into our daily conversations, social interactions, and norms; and finally by attacking one's religious faith and values. The dark-side left's "long march through the culture" has resulted in the indoctrination of each new generation using the direct influence of academia, movies and television programs, the daily news coverage, and government policy. Miraculously, as if by divine intervention, after just one year of his presidency, Donald Trump has managed to force into the open this sinister plot by the dark-side left, with the world now acutely aware of the serious bias of the liberal big media, the corruption present at the senior levels of the intelligence branches left behind by the Obama administration, the serious extent of liberal bias in academia and their effort to restrict free speech, and the self-interest of lawmakers seeking self-enrichment from Washington's swamp-dwelling domestic and foreign lobbyists With his unwavering commitment to work on behalf of the American people, Trump has almost single-handedly inflicted journalists and the political elites with varying degrees of Trump derangement syndrome and exposing their warped, self-serving values, resulting in them becoming almost totally incapable of providing unbiased, insightful political arguments on current issues for their audience. Because of President Trump, the world is witnessing the excruciating collapse of the dark-side left and the Washington swamp. His ability to navigate through the minefields laid by the bipartisan swamp and the liberal big media can only be answered through our faith in God, who, in all his wisdom, has chosen this man to save free market countries and its people from the evils of the dark-side left and their elitist minions.

Mellow out, hold your mouth, don't say what you mean to say are admonitions heard daily. Anti-Trump advocates from both sides of the isle bite at the bit and make every effort to kick Trump off center stage while they muscle their status quo, things as usual retort. Both sides of the isle understand there are a million ways to kill Trump. The problem seems to stem from the emotional armor his supporters put forth protecting Trump and those around him from flack meant to discourage free expression and putting forth alternate solutions. Alternate solutions such as seeking to see problems from a different angle. Sticking to the same line of sight will bring forth the very same image. Sticking to the same solutions will bring forth the same failures...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arming Americans to defend the truth from today's war on facts “In what could be the timeliest book of the year, Rauch aims to arm his readers to engage with reason in an age of illiberalism.” —Newsweek A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Disinformation. Trolling. Conspiracies. Social media pile-ons. Campus intolerance. On the surface, these recent additions to our daily vocabulary appear to have little in common. But together, they are driving an epistemic crisis: a multi-front challenge to America's ability to distinguish fact from fiction and elevate truth above falsehood. In 2016 Russian trolls and bots nearly drowned the truth in a flood of fake news and conspiracy theories, and Donald Trump and his troll armies continued to do the same. Social media companies struggled to keep up with a flood of falsehoods, and too often didn't even seem to try. Experts and some public officials began wondering if society was losing its grip on truth itself. Meanwhile, another new phenomenon appeared: “cancel culture.” At the push of a button, those armed with a cellphone could gang up by the thousands on anyone who ran afoul of their sanctimony. In this pathbreaking book, Jonathan Rauch reaches back to the parallel eighteenth-century developments of liberal democracy and science to explain what he calls the “Constitution of Knowledge”—our social system for turning disagreement into truth. By explicating the Constitution of Knowledge and probing the war on reality, Rauch arms defenders of truth with a clearer understanding of what they must protect, why they must do—and how they can do it. His book is a sweeping and readable description of how every American can help defend objective truth and free inquiry from threats as far away as Russia and as close as the cellphone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major American intellectual and “one of the right’s most gifted and astute journalists” (The New York Times Book Review) makes the historical case that the reforms of the 1960s, reforms intended to make the nation more just and humane, left many Americans feeling alienated, despised, misled—and ready to put an adventurer in the White House. Christopher Caldwell has spent years studying the liberal uprising of the 1960s and its unforeseen consequences and his conclusion is this: even the reforms that Americans love best have come with costs that are staggeringly high—in wealth, freedom, and social stability—and that have been spread unevenly among classes and generations. Caldwell reveals the real political turning points of the past half-century, taking you on a roller-coaster ride through Playboy magazine, affirmative action, CB radio, leveraged buyouts, iPhones, Oxycotin, Black Lives Matter, and internet cookies. In doing so, he shows that attempts to redress the injustices of the past have left Americans living under two different ideas of what it means to play by the rules. Essential, timely, hard to put down, The Age of Entitlement “is an eloquent and bracing book, full of insight” (New York magazine) about how the reforms of the past fifty years gave the country two incompatible political systems—and drove it toward conflict.

Book excerpt: The contemporary definition of "political correctness" did not begin to enter the cultural consciousness of Americans until the 1980s. Allan Bloom's criticism of higher education in The Closing of the American Mind sparked a conflict that has been continually discussed, satirized, and rehashed. With the election of President Trump in 2016 came a reenergized attack on P.C. culture, and a new wave of cultural critique in film, television, comedy, and literature. The New York Times articles collected in this volume cover the defining and redefining of political correctness since its inception, and suggest how this contentious concept may develop into the future. Media literacy questions and terms are included to further engage readers with the collection.

Book excerpt: Dear Reader, Many people have wondered why I’ve been speaking out on controversial issues for the last few years. They say I’ve never held political office. I’m not a constitutional scholar. I’m not even a lawyer. All I can say to that is “Guilty as charged.” It’s true that I’ve never voted for a budget America could not afford. I’ve never raised anyone’s taxes. And I’ve never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation. Luckily, none of that really matters. Our founding fathers didn’t want a permanent governing class of professional politicians. They wanted a republic, in Lincoln’s words, "of the people, by the people, and for the people." A country where any farmer, small-business owner, manual laborer, or doctor could speak up and make a difference. I believe that making a difference starts with understanding our amazing founding document, the U.S. Constitution. And as someone who has performed brain surgery thousands of times, I can assure you that the Constitution isn’t brain surgery. The founders wrote it for ordinary men and women, in clear, precise, simple language. They intentionally made it short enough to read in a single sitting and to carry in your pocket. I wrote this book to encourage every citizen to read and think about the Constitution, and to help defend it from those who misinterpret and undermine it. In our age of political correctness it’s especially important to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees our freedom to speak, bear arms, practice our religion, and much more. The Constitution isn’t history—it’s about your life in America today. And defending it is about what kind of country our children and grandchildren will inherit. I hope you’ll enjoy learning about the fascinating ways that the founders established the greatest democracy in history—and the ways that recent presidents, congresses, and courts have threatened that democracy. As the Preamble says, the purpose of the Constitution is to create a more perfect union. My goal is to empower you to help protect that union and secure the blessings of liberty. Sincerely, Ben Carson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliant, controversial, bestselling critique of American culture that “hits with the approximate force and effect of electroshock therapy” (The New York Times)—now featuring a new afterword by Andrew Ferguson in a twenty-fifth anniversary edition. In 1987, eminent political philosopher Allan Bloom published The Closing of the American Mind, an appraisal of contemporary America that “hits with the approximate force and effect of electroshock therapy” (The New York Times) and has not only been vindicated, but has also become more urgent today. In clear, spirited prose, Bloom argues that the social and political crises of contemporary America are part of a larger intellectual crisis: the result of a dangerous narrowing of curiosity and exploration by the university elites. Now, in this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, acclaimed author and journalist Andrew Ferguson contributes a new essay that describes why Bloom’s argument caused such a furor at publication and why our culture so deeply resists its truths today.
