  Cold Civil War - Overcoming...

  Jim Belcher

  America's political landscape is experiencing dangerous polarization and fragmentation, with the extremes pulling the country apart. Voices on the left and right clash over different worldviews, definitions of America, and what it means to be an American citizen. The levels of incivility and hostility lead some to invoke the language of a cold civil war or even a looming civil war: one that could split the country in two. Is there any way to step back from this dangerous precipice?
  Political philosopher Jim Belcher shows that this is not merely a binary opposition between conservativism on the right and liberalism on the left, but also between conflicting visions of order and freedom on both sides. Through his unique quadrant framework, Belcher traces the people and movements in each position, examines their underlying narratives, and articulates their respective contributions and dangers. This quadrant framework not only reveals how polarization divides us but also shows us how to move beyond the right-left stalemate.
  At the core of the competing visions are the seeds of a new vital center, a robust and surprising model that has the ability to transcend political tribalism and bring America back together again before it is too late.

  The Swamp has been around for over 150 years, and six major presidents have tried to drain it with varying degrees of success. 
   
  Donald Trump promised to “Drain the Swamp,” by which he originally meant lobbyists. When he got in, he found an entirely different Swamp—a Deep State that had grown, layer upon layer, within the government. But he wasn’t the first to encounter entrenched Swamp opposition. Abraham Lincoln had to battle the  
  “Slave Power Conspiracy”; Grover Cleveland was the most successful of three presidents to fight the spoils Swamp. Theodore Roosevelt found a new iteration of the Swamp awaiting him: Trusts. After World War II, John F. Kennedy discovered that he had little control over the Central Intelligence Agency, and even found he  
  needed the CIA for his own purposes. Despite promising to shrink the bureaucracy Swamp, Ronald Reagan found himself helpless to even make a dent in it. And Trump soon learned that the Deep State could ensure no one ever brought any of its own to justice. Dragonslayers explains why these Swamps exist, and why they were—and remain—so hard to defeat.

  Adoption isn’t a secret. 
  But it often stays quiet—held back by fear, uncertainty, or not knowing what to say. It’s part of our neighborhoods, our classrooms, our workplaces, our faith communities, and our lives. Yet too often, it remains invisible. 
  This book is a conversation starter. It shines a light on what adoption really looks like today: complex, layered, and deeply human. 
  Whether you’re an adoptee, adoptive parent, birth parent, kinship caregiver, teacher, employer, spiritual leader, policymaker, or simply someone who wants to be an ally or advocate, this book offers the language, insight, and practical steps to make adoption a visible and respected part of how we live and relate to one another. 
  Featuring real voices and stories from people with lived experience and those working to support them. Because when we break the silence and move beyond stigma, we make space for truth, healing, and belonging.
