Dedication to the exemplary can be documented in numerous American documents from John Winthrop's "Model of Christian Charity" envisioning the exemplary "city upon a hill," to Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence with its exemplary creed that "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights," to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's exemplary Declaration of Sentiments envisioning equal rights for women [all men and women are created equal], to Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and "Gettysburg Address" addressing the evils of slavery and envisioning a nation dedicated to an exemplary government "of the people, by the people, and for the people," to Martin Luther King's exemplary "I Have a Dream Speech" envisioning America living up to its equality creed by extending full equality to its African American citizens. What Makes America Great celebrates the exemplary in the American experience noting particularly its greatness being confirmed in the fact that its history is primarily the fruition of its creed as stated in its Declaration of Independence.

Book excerpt: Unlike dry history books, What Makes America Great? is written in a breezy, personal style. It makes history come alive with humanizing stories about the men and women who made America great. ·Chapter 1 provides objective proof of America's greatness, using a lot of statistics. ·Chapters 2 and 3 cover the early history of America and explain why we revolted. ·Chapter 4 explains our victory over England in the American Revolution, a tremendous upset. Few Americans know how the colonists achieved this astounding feat. ·Some modern "debunkers" like to say that our founding fathers acted out of selfishness rather than principle. Chapter 5 shows the idealism of our founders and details the sacrifices made by the signers of the Declaration of Independence. ·Our founding fathers were faced with the exciting but daunting task of creating an entirely new kind of country. Well-educated men, they based the United States on principles developed by the world's greatest philosophers. Chapter 6 starts with Moses and goes through Locke and Voltaire. Each philosopher's ideas are related to American ideals. ·The Declaration and the Constitution are the two greatest publications mankind has ever known. But they weren't created out of thin air. Chapter 7 discusses the precedents our forefathers studied before drafting these two great documents. ·In Chapter 8, each American war is discussed in the light of whether it was just or unjust. ·Chapter 9 covers the role of immigrants in shaping America. It shows the challenges, obstacles and contribution of each immigrant group. ·No country is perfect, not even America. Chapter 10 discusses the five areas in which America has done wrong: Indians, slaves, women, prejudice, and education. ·Chapter 11 is a glimpse into the future of America.

Book excerpt: Creative Action Network founder and CEO Max Slavkin says this art series was inspired by a widespread interest in creating art to challenge the current political climate. Throughout the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, 100 artists came together to illustrate the things that already make America great. The project has continued beyond those initial 100 days and 100 artists. Each spread of the book contains an artist’s statement on the left and artwork on the right side. The art touches on several issues and topics, including religious freedom, immigration, energy solutions, plurality—and even bourbon. It features a foreword by Steven Heller, an American art director, journalist, critic, author, and editor who specializes in topics related to graphic design.

Book excerpt: Why is America great? What makes her an exceptional country? Why has God blessed this nation far above all other countries? This book is a must-read for anyone who loves America. It's also a great reference book with timeless truths and historical facts....See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. -1 John 3:1 NIV. American Exceptionalism flourished because we are a Christian Nation. It's the power of Jesus Christ that motivates man to be exceptional--to be free. America didn't become great by accident. She excelled because America placed God on the thrown and followed His principles. ...When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding. --Proverbs 28:12 NIV. Unfortunately, the 'wicked' has risen to power in the United States. 'We the People' have allowed Evil to distort the truth about America. Progressivism (America's term for Marxism) has infiltrated the mainstream. Academia indoctrinates our youth to believe Socialism is a utopia and capitalism is evil. While Hollywood and the media strengthen this progressive narrative. Miracles God performed at the founding of our nation have been removed from the history books. Miracles such as: *** 4 different times, river waters lowering for the American troops to cross, then flooding over when the British troops arrived. *** During an ambush, a sharpshooter fired 17 shots at George Washington: 4 bullet holes in his coat, 2 horses killed under him and every other officer on horseback was killed. But Washington was not harmed. These stories are revealed in this book, plus: *** What made America great. *** Why original intent of the Constitution is critical *** God's role in establishing America *** How America got off course *** Steps to restoring her back to greatness. And so much more......including a 'Reader's Digest' explanation of the Declaration of Independence, each section of the United States Constitution and all 27 Amendments. Final Points: God's gifts are always good--always freely given. The ultimate gift, Jesus Christ, came to destroy the works of the Devil--and Christians threaten the Establishment! Beware! In order to prevail, Progressives must eliminate God and the Constitution from America--and they must discredit the character of our Founding Fathers'. This book will provide armor to withstand their arrows of lies and deceit. ***For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. -Psalm 47:2 NIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With What's So Great About America, Dinesh D'Souza is not asking a question, but making a statement. The former White House policy analyst and bestselling author argues that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, American ideals and patriotism should not be things we shy away from. Instead he offers the grounds for a solid, well-considered pride in the Western pillars of "science, democracy and capitalism," while deconstructing arguments from both the political Left and political Right. As an "outsider" from India who has had amazing success in the United States, D'Souza defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against an utopian ideal, but against the rest of the world in a provocative, challenging, and personal book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are constantly reminded that the United States is the greatest country in the world--even the greatest country in the history of civilization! Most agree that America is the most exceptional and most privileged nation on Earth. Presidents proclaim it and politicians remind us. Some believe this land was ordained by God to be the most dominant influence throughout the world. These are bold claims indeed. The United States of America is certainly a powerful, prosperous and influential nation but is it favored above all others? Is it truly the greatest country on the planet as we've always been told? Quick Quiz:What country has meddled in more national elections around the world than any other country and has pumped the most CO2 into the atmosphere? Can you name a country that has transferred billions of dollars in wealth from its working people to an elite class of billionaires? Which nation has the highest percentage of its citizens locked behind bars and the most adults earning poverty wages? Which country has the worst gun violence in the world, has kept its workers' wages stagnant for three decades and crushed its unions? Are you able to name the country that carried out a campaign of brutal indigenous genocide while it held four million people in bondage and still continues to skirt its responsibilities to address the human devastation left behind? Which country has rigged its economic system for over a century so that people of color can only amass ten percent of the wealth of those in the majority Can you identify which nation developed the most destructive weapons in human history, has been engaged in war for 90 percent of its history, bombed dozens of countries since WW II and spends more on its military than any other country? What nation banned immigration based on religion and spread an obesity epidemic to nations around the globe? Which one exploded over 200 nuclear bombs in the atmosphere just to see how well they worked, spreading radioactive fallout worldwide? Can you identify a country where racism permeates every part of its society while its leaders pretend it's not so? What's the only affluent country that allows thousands of its citizens to die due to lack of health insurance? And which one had the worst response and highest COVID-19 death rate and experienced the first attempted coup in its history? Answer: That country is the United States of America. Surprised? Did you always believe America was the greatest country in history? Most Americans and all politicians do. But believing we're a nation above all others doesn't do much to encourage improvement. America: The Greatest Country in the World? See What the Facts Say. Bold Ideas for Making it Better poses some difficult questions about America's greatness and presents an Everest of evidence exposing why America might not be the greatest country on planet Earth and asks readers to look at the facts and decide for themselves. It concludes with bold ideas for changes in our policies to make America a better country for more of its citizens including a new U.S. Constitution to transform how this nation functions. This book is not anti-America or anti-democracy...it's simply anti-unfairness and anti-injustice!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest book by Joel Berg--an internationally recognized leader and media spokesman in the fields of hunger, poverty, food systems, and U.S. politics, and the director of Hunger Free America--America We Need to Talk: A Self-Help Book for the Nation is both a parody of relationship and self-help books and a serious analysis of the nation's political and economic dysfunction. Explaining that the most serious--and most broken--relationship is the one between us, as Americans, and our nation, the book explains how, no matter who becomes our next president, average Joes can channel their anger at our hobbled system into concrete actions that will fix our democracy, rebuild our middle class, and restore our stature in the world as a beacon of freedom and hope. Starting with the belief that it's irresponsible for Americans to blame the nation's problems solely on "the politicians" or "the system," Joel makes a case for how it's the personal responsibility of every resident of this country to fix it. The American people are in a relationship with their government and their society, and, as in all relationships, it's the responsibility of both sides to recognize and repair their problems.

Book excerpt: This book chronicles the changes occurring in America, their causes and what actions are recommended to maintain American greatness. Part 1 of the book describes the importance of capitalism and its impact on our juggernaut economy and the challenges made to it by Liberalism. A brief comparison of past great civilization is offered along with an analysis of early American traits linked to our greatness. An examination is made of the qualities and characters of great and successful Americans along with the methods and standards of great sports coaches of successful teams.Part 2, measures the changes in America since 1960 showing how American achievement is in decline for government, media, education, family, crime and health care. A process entitled "Califonication" is offered as the end result of what Liberalism is doing to America. Part 3, of the book focuses on what individuals can do with special recognition of the fact that 22% of Americans are paying the taxes for the remaining 78%. The reader is asked to get involved in a grass roots movement to bring control of the country back to the will of the people recognizing that much of the politically driven "solutions" installed in the past 40 years can be characterized as uniquely "Un-American, ineffective, and geometrically expensive." Those paying the bills must demand more and better accountability and demonstrable results from our leaders. Demand must be made to install American values and attitudes into the culture. Alternative solutions for the media, Social Security, Medicare, etc. are discussed as well as the need to demand more choices by the American taxpayer.

This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the United States was a nation, it was a set of ideas, projected onto the New World by European explorers with centuries of belief and thought in tow. From this foundation of expectation and experience, America and American thought grew in turn, enriched by the bounties of the Enlightenment, the philosophies of liberty and individuality, the tenets of religion, and the doctrines of republicanism and democracy. Crucial to this development were the thinkers who nurtured it, from Thomas Jefferson to Ralph Waldo Emerson, W.E.B. DuBois to Jane Addams, and Betty Friedan to Richard Rorty. The Ideas That Made America: A Brief History traces how Americans have addressed the issues and events of their time and place, whether the Civil War, the Great Depression, or the culture wars of today. Spanning a variety of disciplines, from religion, philosophy, and political thought, to cultural criticism, social theory, and the arts, Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen shows how ideas have been major forces in American history, driving movements such as transcendentalism, Social Darwinism, conservatism, and postmodernism. In engaging and accessible prose, this introduction to American thought considers how notions about freedom and belonging, the market and morality -- and even truth -- have commanded generations of Americans and been the cause of fierce debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! For the first time in his own words, President-elect Donald J. Trump explains his plan to make America great again! He wants to “put America’s interests first—and that means doing what’s right for our economy, our national security, and our public safety.” Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, “Merry Christmas!” The media scoffed at Trump’s vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, “Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard.” As Trump says in Time to Get Tough, “I’ve built businesses across the globe. I’ve dealt with foreign leaders. I’ve created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real money—massive money. That’s what I do for a living: make big things happen…” Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and he’s going to make them for America! From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America “doesn’t need cowardice, it needs courage.” President Elect Trump is about to “Make America Great Again” and Time to Get Tough is his blueprint!
