| Publisher Description: For the most part our children spend the entire school day being taught by liberal leaning educators. We want them to believe what they are taught about math and science but do we want them to believe revisionist history or slanted beliefs on social justice? For example, were your kids taught that Martin Luther King Jr. was a registered Republican in Fulton County, Georgia? Or that Republicans delivered the right for blacks to vote via the 15th amendment in 1870?; that President Dwight Eisenhower proposed civil rights amendments in the 1950's that were blocked by southern Democrats? And finally, do they know that during President Bill Clinton's presidency our country was attacked four times by Muslim terrorists (once on our own soil) and our country offered no meaningful response. This failure to adequately respond could have quite possibly contributed to the attack against us on 9/11/2001; and that Clinton was the first U.S. President to be impeached since Andrew Johnson? that he was acquitted but later found guilty of perjury (lying under oath) and disbarred, losing his license to practice law? Most likely they know none of these facts and certainly won't learn about them in school. In this book J. Alan Williams seeks to offset the liberal bias found in today's media and public education system while re-examining the revisionist history so prevalent in our society. This book covers many topics including what Williams defines as being a "true conservative", the 2012 election, economics, and aspects where the Republican Party needs to make some adjustments. He also gives an excellent historical perspective, while exposing many popular misconceptions. "This book was written for the next generation, but everyone can learn something from this effort." - Verified Review "If the Republicans need a road map to victory in 2016 and beyond, this book is a great place to start." - Verified review |
