10.0 out of 10.0 stars
In voicing his concerns about the future of America, Jon Anthony Hauser writes that the liberties and freedoms that America takes for granted are under attack in our current world. The societal trends in an America beset by the “woke” movement and cancel culture in the midst of a highly volatile political arena are the focus of The Destruction of Liberty. The reach of these trends extends to nearly every sphere of daily life, including the intentional suppression of the Christian values and entrepreneurial spirit that have been traditional bedrocks of American life. To explain these and other destructive trends, Hauser states, “I explore the combination of socialism and aristocracy, as it has developed historically and now metastasizes like a cancer in contemporary America.”
As the eminent historian George Santayana once wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The decisions that our current leaders are making, which largely place ideological and personal concerns above the interests of the people, are taking America down the path of our own destruction.
Section One of this book delves into socialism and why it has never worked, and never will. Included are chapters that describe how it is on the wrong side of history; wrong side of economics; wrong side of God and Christianity; wrong side of competence, personal responsibility, wrong side of accountability; wrong side of human nature; and the wrong side of fanaticism, arrogance, and false religion.
Section Two of the book highlights the American socialist aristocracy on display throughout society and government today. This encompasses public education, collegiate academia, media, government, bureaucracy, and the “deep state” that seeks to control to every aspect of the lives of Americans. Furthermore, Hauser discusses the insidious pseudo-intelligence readily accepted by our youth who never seem to question the intentions of what is referred to as Big Tech and their leftist philosophies. Hauser considers the woke culture and the politics that have permeated every fiber of the workplace, education institutions, and media, insisting on an agenda that is deliberately eroding away liberty, religious freedoms, and the entrepreneurial classes of America.
Democratic Party policies have eroded the American dream, in favor of their dream of a socialist government, and the new elite class in society, which they aspire to be a part of. As the author makes clear, socialism has never worked for anybody, anywhere, in any period of history. These present-day socialists have abandoned the middle class, and instead promote policies that reward this new elite class, which will stop at nothing to institutionalize their power. The divide in contemporary America between those in power, and those they are supposed to serve, has become monumentally wider in recent years. We need look no further than our national experience with the Covid-19 pandemic when unelected bureaucrats took it upon themselves to mandates that were clearly antithetical to the Constitution. Everything America stands for is at stake, including the Constitution, which they would like nothing better than to eradicate or dilute to the point of irrelevancy.
Further, considering why Donald Trump is so hated by left-wing “progressives,” the author gives a full overview of current policy issues, which include the “Green New Deal” agenda and the wide open border disaster. Biden’s role in undermining the Trump era policies of energy independence and secure borders have detrimentally contributed to the “circus” that has become our public political discourse.
This book will help readers gain a better understanding of how the country, like a runaway train, is heading down the tracks to self-destruction. Knowledge of the true God and the experience of His grace is being replaced by an atheist agenda that is unraveling society, government, and the fundamental building block of the nuclear family. This is a watershed moment in modern-day America, which we know is already prone to expensive wars, economic crises, and the loss of civic and personal morality in society.
The Destruction of Liberty is a wake-up call to all Americans! We must stand up for liberty and justice, and understand that the freedom America was founded upon hangs in the balance. The Democratic Party and their politically motivated allies in the media and administrative state have placed their own interests above the public interest, and they are determined to subvert the fundamental American way of life.
A Must-Read for today as we evaluate the current American political crisis!
