Summary

In "The American Crisis," Thomas Paine presents a fiery collection of pamphlets that galvanize the American populace during one of its most tumultuous periods'Äîthe struggle for independence from British rule. Crafted in a compelling and accessible style, Paine's prose resonates with urgency and emotional gravity, employing persuasive rhetoric and evocative imagery to rally revolutionary sentiments. The pamphlets, originally published between 1776 and 1783, are carefully contextualized within the larger framework of Enlightenment ideals and the fight for liberty, asserting the moral imperative of independence and self-governance in the face of tyranny. Thomas Paine, an English-born political philosopher and writer, emerged as a pivotal figure in the American Enlightenment, driven by his belief in the rights of individuals and the power of reason. His background in advocacy for social reforms and democratic ideals informed his impassioned writings, notably lending clarity and fervor to the revolutionary cause. Paine'Äôs experiences in both England and America uniquely positioned him to articulate the collective aspirations of the colonies, as he sought to inspire courage and resolve among his fellow countrymen. "The American Crisis" is not merely a historical artifact but a timeless testament to the human spirit's capacity for resistance against oppression. Recommended for scholars and general readers alike, this transformative work offers profound insights into the revolutionary mindset that shaped a nation, inspiring contemporary reflections on liberty and justice.

    1984 Nomination Acceptance Address

    Ronald Reagan

    On August 23, 1984, at the Dallas Convention Center, Reagan accepts the presidential nomination of the Republican party. Reagan reminds Democrats of the high inflation and interest rates when he took office in 1980 and claims Democrats “never met a tax they didn't like or hike.”  
    In 1981 “we started a policy of tightening the Federal budget instead of the family budget.” Reagan cites an improved “misery index” (the total of the inflation and unemployment rates) and improved poverty levels.  
    “In the 4 years before we took office, country after country fell under the Soviet yoke. Since January 20th, 1981, not 1 inch of soil has fallen to the Communists.” (long applause)  
    America is “more confident than ever” with “the strongest economic growth” and “the fastest rate of job creation”.  
    We support NATO, Israel, and free Latin American States that “struggle to prevent Communist takeovers fueled massively by the Soviet Union and Cuba.” We rescued “American students on the imprisoned island of Grenada.” 
    We oppose deficits, and support a balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto, tuition tax credits, enterprise zones, and lower taxes. There is no room for anti-Semitism or bigotry in the party of Lincoln. 
    With America at peace, “we’re in the midst of a springtime of hope” and see America as “a shining city on a hill.” We look forward to “the Olympic Games here in the United States” and marvel “at the journey of the Olympic torch” across our country.

    The New World Order is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells and was published by Secker & Warburg in January 1940. In The New World Order, Wells proposed a framework of international functionalism that could guide the world towards achieving world peace. To achieve these ends, Wells asserted that a socialist and scientifically planned world government would need to be formed to defend human rights.Wells's motivation for writing The New World Order was based upon the outbreak of World War II. Wells was concerned that the Allies had no clear statement of aims for fighting in the war and that this would lead to the continuation of the pre-existing balance of power. In The New World Order, Wells writes that without a revolution in international affairs and the establishment of human rights, then further destructive wars were inevitable.

    Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan's life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity. 
     
     
     
    Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered, with a whopping 73 percent approval. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionaires grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.
