What Really Makes America Great by Creative Action Network Pdf

Creative Action Network founder and CEO Max Slavkin says this art series was inspired by a widespread interest in creating art to challenge the current political climate. Throughout the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, 100 artists came together to illustrate the things that already make America great. The project has continued beyond those initial 100 days and 100 artists. Each spread of the book contains an artist’s statement on the left and artwork on the right side. The art touches on several issues and topics, including religious freedom, immigration, energy solutions, plurality—and even bourbon. It features a foreword by Steven Heller, an American art director, journalist, critic, author, and editor who specializes in topics related to graphic design.

What Made America Great by James M. Macdonald Pdf

Why is America great? What makes her an exceptional country? Why has God blessed this nation far above all other countries? This book is a must-read for anyone who loves America. It's also a great reference book with timeless truths and historical facts....See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. -1 John 3:1 NIV. American Exceptionalism flourished because we are a Christian Nation. It's the power of Jesus Christ that motivates man to be exceptional--to be free. America didn't become great by accident. She excelled because America placed God on the thrown and followed His principles. ...When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding. --Proverbs 28:12 NIV. Unfortunately, the 'wicked' has risen to power in the United States. 'We the People' have allowed Evil to distort the truth about America. Progressivism (America's term for Marxism) has infiltrated the mainstream. Academia indoctrinates our youth to believe Socialism is a utopia and capitalism is evil. While Hollywood and the media strengthen this progressive narrative. Miracles God performed at the founding of our nation have been removed from the history books. Miracles such as: *** 4 different times, river waters lowering for the American troops to cross, then flooding over when the British troops arrived. *** During an ambush, a sharpshooter fired 17 shots at George Washington: 4 bullet holes in his coat, 2 horses killed under him and every other officer on horseback was killed. But Washington was not harmed. These stories are revealed in this book, plus: *** What made America great. *** Why original intent of the Constitution is critical *** God's role in establishing America *** How America got off course *** Steps to restoring her back to greatness. And so much more......including a 'Reader's Digest' explanation of the Declaration of Independence, each section of the United States Constitution and all 27 Amendments. Final Points: God's gifts are always good--always freely given. The ultimate gift, Jesus Christ, came to destroy the works of the Devil--and Christians threaten the Establishment! Beware! In order to prevail, Progressives must eliminate God and the Constitution from America--and they must discredit the character of our Founding Fathers'. This book will provide armor to withstand their arrows of lies and deceit. ***For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. -Psalm 47:2 NIV

What Makes America Great? by Lon Cantor Pdf

Unlike dry history books, What Makes America Great? is written in a breezy, personal style. It makes history come alive with humanizing stories about the men and women who made America great. ·Chapter 1 provides objective proof of America's greatness, using a lot of statistics. ·Chapters 2 and 3 cover the early history of America and explain why we revolted. ·Chapter 4 explains our victory over England in the American Revolution, a tremendous upset. Few Americans know how the colonists achieved this astounding feat. ·Some modern "debunkers" like to say that our founding fathers acted out of selfishness rather than principle. Chapter 5 shows the idealism of our founders and details the sacrifices made by the signers of the Declaration of Independence. ·Our founding fathers were faced with the exciting but daunting task of creating an entirely new kind of country. Well-educated men, they based the United States on principles developed by the world's greatest philosophers. Chapter 6 starts with Moses and goes through Locke and Voltaire. Each philosopher's ideas are related to American ideals. ·The Declaration and the Constitution are the two greatest publications mankind has ever known. But they weren't created out of thin air. Chapter 7 discusses the precedents our forefathers studied before drafting these two great documents. ·In Chapter 8, each American war is discussed in the light of whether it was just or unjust. ·Chapter 9 covers the role of immigrants in shaping America. It shows the challenges, obstacles and contribution of each immigrant group. ·No country is perfect, not even America. Chapter 10 discusses the five areas in which America has done wrong: Indians, slaves, women, prejudice, and education. ·Chapter 11 is a glimpse into the future of America.

Troublemaker by Christine O'Donnell Pdf

The 2010 candidate for Senate—and established political "troublemaker"*--voices the quiet anger in America today: where it comes from, what it's asking for, and where it's going from here *Time Magazine From the moment she upset a heavily-favored incumbent in the primary for the special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Joe Biden, Christine O'Donnell made headlines. Though she didn't win the general election, O'Donnell did win the designation of 2010's Most Covered Candidate. And what people were talking about wasn't just gossip: they responded to a fresh, unencumbered voice that appealed to voter frustration with politics—and politicians—as usual. America's strength lies in its government "by the people, for the people", but too many of those people feel they are now just labeled featureless residents of "flyover country", told what to think and what they can and cannot do by an entrenched, reigning class of elites. O'Donnell's candidacy gave hope that the voices of real people—the people—not only can be heard but can also become a force. Part of this hope is invested in the nascent Tea Party, but most of it is invested in individual voters who are willing to work hard and make sacrifices for what they believe in, not what backroom dealing and a bloated federal government has mandated is good for them. Troublemaker is about where O'Donnell comes from—the Philadelphia suburbs with five kids to a room—and what she weathered in the 2010 election. But the core of the book is a clear, straightforward discussion of an America that yearns to embrace freedom and opportunity through personal responsibility, and how it is hamstrung and stymied by excessive regulation, taxation, and the sanctimony of a "nanny state." And Troublemaker will deliver an important, rousing message about what we do with the quiet anger in America today: where we can go, and how strong we can be, from here. Warning readers that challenging the status quo makes the political establishment push back, O'Donnell wants to build a movement that will continue to goad it. It's practical, too, since O'Donnell believes in power through participation: it's not enough to grumble about how things are going; pitch in and try to change things if you care. O'Donnell details how she participated by running for high office as an everywoman, but also shows how attending town council meetings, organizing a petition drive, making an effort to meet a staffer in your local representative's office, or simply reading the minutes from your community board can make a difference.

America: Greatest Country in the World? See What the Facts Say by William Blank Pdf

We are constantly reminded that the United States is the greatest country in the world--even the greatest country in the history of civilization! Most agree that America is the most exceptional and most privileged nation on Earth. Presidents proclaim it and politicians remind us. Some believe this land was ordained by God to be the most dominant influence throughout the world. These are bold claims indeed. The United States of America is certainly a powerful, prosperous and influential nation but is it favored above all others? Is it truly the greatest country on the planet as we've always been told? Quick Quiz:What country has meddled in more national elections around the world than any other country and has pumped the most CO2 into the atmosphere? Can you name a country that has transferred billions of dollars in wealth from its working people to an elite class of billionaires? Which nation has the highest percentage of its citizens locked behind bars and the most adults earning poverty wages? Which country has the worst gun violence in the world, has kept its workers' wages stagnant for three decades and crushed its unions? Are you able to name the country that carried out a campaign of brutal indigenous genocide while it held four million people in bondage and still continues to skirt its responsibilities to address the human devastation left behind? Which country has rigged its economic system for over a century so that people of color can only amass ten percent of the wealth of those in the majority Can you identify which nation developed the most destructive weapons in human history, has been engaged in war for 90 percent of its history, bombed dozens of countries since WW II and spends more on its military than any other country? What nation banned immigration based on religion and spread an obesity epidemic to nations around the globe? Which one exploded over 200 nuclear bombs in the atmosphere just to see how well they worked, spreading radioactive fallout worldwide?

And which one had the worst response and highest COVID-19 death rate and experienced the first attempted coup in its history? Answer: That country is the United States of America. Surprised? Did you always believe America was the greatest country in history? Most Americans and all politicians do. But believing we're a nation above all others doesn't do much to encourage improvement. America: The Greatest Country in the World? See What the Facts Say. Bold Ideas for Making it Better poses some difficult questions about America's greatness and presents an Everest of evidence exposing why America might not be the greatest country on planet Earth and asks readers to look at the facts and decide for themselves. It concludes with bold ideas for changes in our policies to make America a better country for more of its citizens including a new U.S. Constitution to transform how this nation functions.

Time to Get Tough by Donald J. Trump Pdf

A New York Times bestseller! For the first time in his own words, President-elect Donald J. Trump explains his plan to make America great again! He wants to “put America’s interests first—and that means doing what’s right for our economy, our national security, and our public safety.” Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, “Merry Christmas!” The media scoffed at Trump’s vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, “Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard.” As Trump says in Time to Get Tough, “I’ve built businesses across the globe. I’ve dealt with foreign leaders. I’ve created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real money—massive money. That’s what I do for a living: make big things happen…” Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and he’s going to make them for America! From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America “doesn’t need cowardice, it needs courage.” President Elect Trump is about to “Make America Great Again” and Time to Get Tough is his blueprint!

What's So Great About America by Dinesh D'Souza Pdf

With What's So Great About America, Dinesh D'Souza is not asking a question, but making a statement. The former White House policy analyst and bestselling author argues that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, American ideals and patriotism should not be things we shy away from. Instead he offers the grounds for a solid, well-considered pride in the Western pillars of "science, democracy and capitalism," while deconstructing arguments from both the political Left and political Right. As an "outsider" from India who has had amazing success in the United States, D'Souza defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against an utopian ideal, but against the rest of the world in a provocative, challenging, and personal book.

A brief comparison of past great civilization is offered along with an analysis of early American traits linked to our greatness. An examination is made of the qualities and characters of great and successful Americans along with the methods and standards of great sports coaches of successful teams.Part 2, measures the changes in America since 1960 showing how American achievement is in decline for government, media, education, family, crime and health care.

Those paying the bills must demand more and better accountability and demonstrable results from our leaders. Demand must be made to install American values and attitudes into the culture. Alternative solutions for the media, Social Security, Medicare, etc. are discussed as well as the need to demand more choices by the American taxpayer.

When America Stopped Being Great by Nick Bryant Pdf

'Nick Bryant is brilliant. He has a way of showing you what you've been missing from the whole story whilst never leaving you feeling stupid.' – Emily Maitlis 'Bryant is a genuine rarity, a Brit who understands America' – Washington Post In When America Stopped Being Great, veteran reporter and BBC New York correspondent Nick Bryant reveals how America's decline paved the way for Donald Trump's rise, sowing division and leaving the country vulnerable to its greatest challenge of the modern era. Deftly sifting through almost four decades of American history, from post-Cold War optimism, through the scandal-wracked nineties and into the new millennium, Bryant unpacks the mistakes of past administrations, from Ronald Reagan's 'celebrity presidency' to Barack Obama's failure to adequately address income and racial inequality. He explains how the historical clues, unseen by many (including the media) paved the way for an outsider to take power and a country to slide towards disaster. As Bryant writes, 'rather than being an aberration, Trump's presidency marked the culmination of so much of what had been going wrong in the United States for decades – economically, racially, politically, culturally, technologically and constitutionally.' A personal elegy for an America lost, unafraid to criticise actors on both sides of the political divide, When America Stopped Being Great takes the long view, combining engaging storytelling with recent history to show how the country moved from the optimism of Reagan's 'Morning in America' to the darkness of Trump's 'American Carnage'. It concludes with some of the most dramatic events in recent memory, in an America torn apart by a bitterly polarised election, racial division, the national catastrophe of the coronavirus and the threat to US democracy evidenced by the storming of Capitol Hill.
