A Defense Of American Ideals, by Thomas J. Malone
199 pages. ISBN 9781475184365
This is a book every American patriot should read, although it is bound to ruffle the feathers of some devoted theists due to its defense and assertion of America’s founding principles based only on secular, natural, unalienable rights. This should not however dissuade any reader from diving in, so long as they respect the basic principle of separation of Church and State. Nothing in it advocates a denial of one’s right to believe as they wish. On the contrary, it demands the rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution in every way be reinstated as originally intended. It only asks that consonant with the original intent, that individual beliefs not be forced upon others; that each may once again follow their own light in pursuit of happiness.
Filled with timeless wisdom in the form of quotes from our founders and several other brilliant defenders of the rights of the individual, this work explores the principles that created the greatest expansion of liberty and prosperity known. While exposing the inferiority of socialism to capitalism, it clearly demonstrates our folly, having allowed the statists to erode Liberty to our great loss and shame, while they instituted collectivist, altruist doctrine by incremental, continual sophistry.
The strength of the arguments against the socialist creep foisted upon us by the infiltration of the failed philosophies of Marx, Kant, Hegel, etc. are irrefutable. Contrasting them with the philosophies of Locke, Paine, Smith, Mill, Rand etc. which reflect the enlightenment and principles that created the legacy so many of us revere, one cannot help but look back with nostalgia while lamenting the degrading state of liberty and prosperity. Fortunately the author offers a worthy philosophy and direction for reconstitution.
Read this book and you will be inspired to fight for Liberty lost and “…grab the torch of Liberty. Hold it high. And never let it go again. Long Live Lady Liberty!” Thomas J.Malone

That actually doesn't dissuade me at all. In fact, it makes the book *far* more appealing. If the book had advocated some nonsense about restoring so called "Christian values," that would have been a huge turn off, and I would have ignored the book completely. But if this book actually defends the separation of church and state, as you say it does, I may just have to pick it up at some point. Thanks for sharing. ;)
