American Political Realities: Factors Underlying America's Decline

Readers will find in this book a range of thoughts and perspectives on issues with which America has recently faced and continues to face. It provides a view of America in the context of today's problems of societal division, anarchy, destruction of the rule of law and irresponsibility. It documents efforts of some to change America into something it was never intended to be. By contrast, some pieces demonstrate what life is like when unaffected by society's ills. There are forces that seek to destroy America and rebuild it in some fashion that is only vaguely envisioned. Opposing them are forces committed to preserving the Republic as envisioned by the framers of America's Constitution. Whichever force prevails will determine the country's future. This book examines these forces through essays, short stories, poems and humor.
