"A BOOK EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ " A Defense Of American Ideals brings back to life the principles of Liberty and shows the critical importance of upholding Individual Rights consistently and without compromise. In layman's terms and using vivid examples, plus a wealth of historical quotes, Tom Malone argues that we need nothing less than a philosophical revolution if we are going to stop the slow suicide and deterioration of freedom in America. Drawing on the ideas of Ayn Rand, Robert Ingersoll, the Founding Fathers, and many other champions of liberty, Malone systematically builds the case for reason, individual rights and free market capitalism. Quite simply, this is a book that every American who cares about the future of this country should read. With his identification of America's "Achilles Heal," Malone provides a unique and ground-breaking perspective as to how and why we have betrayed America's founding ideals - and what it will take to restore them. A Defense of American Ideals illuminates our present condition by challenging long-held assumptions of those on both the left and the right. This is a timely and eminently readable book that will make you proud to be an American and is sure to light a "brushfire of freedom" in your mind. As Thomas Paine said, "though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire." Grab your copy of this book today and let's get those embers burning again "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves." DOCTOR JOSEPH WARREN, MARCH 6, 1775 (BOSTON MASSACRE ORATION). "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."
