We can't agree on what makes America special. We can't even agree that America \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e special. We're coming to the point that we can't even agree what the word America itself means. \"Disintegrationists\" say we're stronger together, but their assault on America's history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn's \u003cem\u003eA People's History of the United States\u003c\/em\u003e to the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times'\u003c\/em\u003e 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie - beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America's culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional \"unionist\" understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps\u003c\/em\u003e shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself--to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don't recover these shared truths, our future--our \u003cem\u003eunion\u003c\/em\u003e--as a great country is threatened with destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755067506976,"sku":"9780063029729","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b78487486572dcd3e330605a43f6f0e7.webp?v=1780049689","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/how-to-destroy-america-in-three-easy-steps-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
