There are hundreds of excellent books about democracy, written by well-educated, intelligent people from all corners of our political life. One, however, is missing and that is the one that focuses on how Americans are living in this democracy and why democracy has lost its meaning for many of us. We find ourselves deeply disappointed in our country and our culture. The goal of this book is to make visible the current disenchantment and disappointment of people. Millions upon millions of people have died in the name of democracy and its universal values. What happened? What changed? Why should we fight to keep it alive if democracy has lost its core and universal values? In our current state of affairs, we find it defined more and more by radical feminists, sexualists, radical racists, ultra-minority, super-conglos. The fact is, many of us no longer even recognize ourselves in our own country! This book explores concerns the Democrats, and the Progressive Liberals' ideologies and how the ideas which they have come to represent have weakened our dear democracy. What happened to the liberal and progressive ideas of universal education, for instance? Why has the general level of education of the American people gone down for the last thirty years, when it had, up until that time progressed since the beginning of the republic? Why are we getting poorer? Why all that pandering to trend-of-the-moment causes? We attempt to answer these basic questions: Who destroyed our values? Why have those values been destroyed? Who has benefited from these changes? This first short book of essays is the first in a series, and serves as an introduction to five future books, American People and Radical Feminism, American People and Sexualists, American People and Radical Racist Minorities, "American People and the Infosphere/Media and American People and Conglomeration.
