America Unraveling is a truly brilliant discussion of our nation's present situation. Unfortunately, most people do not see or understand it. And the question is: Will they in time? Most reviewers don't post their background, but I would like to begin there. I was educated in philosophy and theology with degrees in mathematics and engineering. I am a part time writer as well. I was a Special Forces trooper (Green Beret) during Vietnam. I am a fourth generation Danish immigrant ... and an agnostic.
I believe strongly in the traditional Christian-Judaic values of our founding fathers, the constitution, and the bill of rights. My dismay over the changes made in America since returning from Southeast Asia has become acute. The decisions handed down by state judges and the Supreme Court have left me speechless and shocked. The attempt to dismantle our religious heritage and icons puts fear in my heart, not for myself but for my children and grandchildren. I could go on, but I need not. Scott Smith has hit these problems squarely in the face with unprecedented political incorrectness.
The author has exhaustively researched the reasons for the decisions made by our founding fathers and the meaning and indelible character of their direction. He has researched the many Supreme Court cases that have changed the fabric of our nation, our culture, and the unity that has made America so strong for so long. Further, he has shown how this fabric is coming apart, thus unraveling.
As a lawyer, the author's arguments are strongly put. But as a concerned citizen, he is also clear and relevant. That his arguments might be overcome is a sure sign of the desolate character of the great experiment that was meant to be America gone wrong. He clearly examines the recent movements seen in immigration policies, the liberal bent of many in our universities and elsewhere, the problems manifest in hailing multiculturalism, and the problems inherent in relativism.
America Unraveling is a must read. Brilliantly offered, it is a review of present day America for the ages. One can only hope that the author's salient solutions are taken to heart.
