Description

#1 New York Times BestsellerIs America a source of pride, as Americans have long held, or shame, as Progressives allege? Beneath an innocent exterior, are our lives complicit in a national project of theft, expropriation, oppression, and murder, or is America still the hope of the world?Dinesh D’Souza says these questions are no mere academic exercise. It is the Progressive view that is taught in our schools, that is preached by Hollywood, and that shapes the policies of the Obama administration. If America is a force for inequality and injustice in the world, its power deserves to be diminished; if traditional America is based on oppression and theft, then traditional America must be reformed—and the federal government can do the reforming.In America: Imagine a World without Her D’Souza offers a passionate and sharply reasoned defense of America, knocking down every important accusation made by Progressives against our country.Provocative in its analysis, stunning in its conclusions, Dinesh D’Souza’s America is a new classic.

⭐After reading AMERICA, I can see why Dinesh D’Souza would be deemed a prime target by the progressive American left. D’Souza doesn’t hold back as he unleashes on the progressive ideology and America-loathing liberals he believes are pushing this country down a path of self-destruction. AMERICA serves as rather convincing wake-up call that illustrates how the unraveling of America has commenced now that radicalized progressives have been unwittingly elected to positions that allow them to implement their plans for America’s future … a rather bleak future.Yes, AMERICA is sure to trigger an emotional reaction: bitter anger and dismissal by those who believe progressivism will lead to a better America and to those on the other side of the spectrum, a rallying cry to stop the bleeding before it is too late. D’Souza doesn’t dance around the issue at hand, he goes straight for the jugular by explaining the roots of progressivism and how a handful of hardcore believers have successfully inculcated enough followers to elect like-minded individuals into positions of power. Hardcore believers like Alinsky, Ayers and Chomsky, too radical to get themselves in a position of power, instead peddled their ideology to the mushy-minds of college students in the 1960s. This resulted in an army of acolytes taught to spread progressivism in a more palatable, subversive manner … same beliefs, but presented by palatable, non-scary and even rational-sounding means. Now, those “Alinskyites”, the torchbearers of the progressive flame, have positioned themselves in the highest levels of American government. We know the names (Obama, Clinton and other members of the so-called “Founding Fathers of 1968”) and we know the current state of affairs in America (more citizens dependent on government assistance than ever, poor economy, decreasing global influence and an ever deepening social divide among its citizen) … D’Souza uses AMERICA to connect all the dots.What differentiates AMERICA from the myriad of similarly-themed anti-liberal books is the author himself. D’Souza, an Indian who became a naturalized American in 1991, is an authentic example of a non-citizen so enamored with this country (including its history and values), he became an American. Now he sees every redeeming quality that fueled his desire for citizenship being targeted for dismantling, reworking or simply destroyed. It is easy to sense his honesty and pain as he witnesses America decline under the direction of its own leaders while India uses the American blueprint to rise in world stature. The frustration D’Souza expresses is not anger-tainted, but one of disbelief as he senses Americans have been lulled into a hypnotic stupor that allows a progressive-led government subtly pull the rug out from under them. His fears are that it may be too late before progressive policies neuter American global influence to a point of no return … allowing a resurging China to take the helm as the world’s superpower.While D’Souza’s path to being an American adds authenticity to his argument, his willingness to publicly debate his concerns with the progressive torchbearers adds validity. AMERICA is not simply a one-sided affair, he addresses the issues at hand (crippling political correctness, capitalism, Christianity, Islam, foreign policy, etc.), presents the progressive point-of-view and methodically explains how policies implementing that point-of-view have eroded everything that made America what it is (was). His arguments are not complex, but rather simple … in fact, he effectively contrasts each and every progressive point with common-sense.It isn’t until the final chapter that the book’s title is justified. Preceding chapters reveal how progressive policies have started to (quickly) erode the founding principles that led America to being so prosperous. Policies that are designed to undo/fix all that progressives think is wrong about America (from the land it “stole” to its “oppressive” and unfair capitalist economy) … in other words a ridiculous list of wrongs that progressives will openly and relentlessly condemn while quietly reaping their benefits (owning multiple properties on that “stolen” land and enjoying personal lives of luxury thanks to capitalism). What the final chapter does is present a sobering look at what will likely happen if/when America intentionally falls from its lofty world perch. D’Souza (again using common-sense) sees China emerging as the next superpower to supplant the United States. He illustrates China using its values, powerful economy and massive military might to influence the world as America once did. The catch is that a Chinese superpower will infuse its culture across the globe; a culture that is not inherently benevolent or tolerant. In other words, if progressives have convinced you that an American-led world is bad … just wait to see what lurks in the future.I found AMERICA to be quite a provocative read. D’Souza effectively articulates his arguments in a manner that is quite easy to understand. Sure, some will view this as nothing more than a partisan hit-piece, but I felt the purpose of the book was more an effort to get Americans to see how the little, insignificant things we’re dealing with today contribute to the bigger picture. The bigger picture being the future of America, a future that the Founding Fathers of 1968 want to create, but will not have to suffer through.

⭐What a wonderful book! It is not some jingoistic “America isalways right” type of diatribe at all. It is a very well writtenbook, part personal. He is an immigrant from India, and hesays there was little opportunity there and corrupt governmentofficials so he was eager, as millions are, to come here tothe “land of opportunity”.Oops — according to those who run the University ofCalifornia, presided over by Janet Napolitano, formerhead of Homeland Security — you can’t say that!!They don’t want America called a “melting pot” anymoreand hundreds of other judgments that make no senseto someone who doesn’t subscribe to the “America isevil” doctrine increasingly taught and embraced inour educational system.What Dinesh does in this book, is say (paraphrasing)”there has never been an organized attempt to refutethis indoctrination. That is what I am doing in thisbook”. He tackles many of the “givens” by thoseon the Left/teachers in these institutions, such as(all paraphrases by me)”everything was stolen so we need to give it back”.”Americans are uniquely depraved””descendants of those brought to this country arefar worse off than they would be had they stayedin their original countries””Capitalism is just exploitation of worker’s labor”.and so on. Having been all over the world Ican say Democracy/Capitalism is far fromperfect but it is far better than what I haveseen in other countries.He discusses Sioux efforts to get Mt Rushmorescrubbed because it is in “sacred tribal land”.An argument the government has accepted tosome extent, offering he says $1 Billion to them.But, he asked one advocate, “who was herebefore the Sioux? You took it from them andwould then have to give it back to them, right?”Of course they were not impressed by thisargument.Not to put Native Americans down, who did havemany good customs and insights about man’srole in nature, but a full picture shows that sometribes, the Sioux in particular, were totally barbaricin their treatment of captives (Native or otherwise) –cutting out their tongues while still alive etc. This isdocumented in the excellent book “The Heart of allthat is”. And, it happened before the white man’smove across North America.He discusses the case of the guy who parks the carat the hotel, how he gets a small percentage of whatis taken in, and shows how in fact the labor of manyothers has gone into this situation and that what heis getting is likely to be close to fair (not that mostanyone thinks they are getting enough to be fair).He talks about the purchase of Manhattan fromIndians about 4 centuries ago. He makes thevalid point “there was no Manhattan. It wascreated over hundreds of years”. In other wordsit was just a wooded area before it was developedand the very development of it is what gave it itscurrent high value.Many other subjects are covered well, I won’treview them here. After reading this book youwill be less surprised, but I hope no lessdisgusted, by a college professor who saidthe likes of “those who died in 9/11 were abunch of Eichmanns”, equating them withAdolph Eichmann, one of the main organizersof the Holocaust.These 9/11 victims were just people mindingtheir own business, working for a living or beingtourists. He knew none of them personallybut is quick to judge them “unpersons”, aterm from “1984” or the equivalent. This isthe way things are for the Left — no oneexcept for favored groups are worthy ofstatus (human status?).Some will note that Dinesh is a “convictedfelon”. This is true, he donated, I believe,$10,000 more to a candidate than theLaw allows. This type of offense is rarelyprosecuted but an example had to be madeof him so he was prosecuted. Now writerscan conveniently write him off by saying”this diatribe by convicted felon Dinesh…”Dinesh discusses this a bit and refers toanother excellent book “Three Feloniesa Day” about how Federal Prosecutorshave been making criminals out ofordinary citizens since the 80’s. I recommendthis book highly as well.

⭐Dinesh D’souzer has written another eye opening book, once this book is opened you will not be able to put it down.

⭐Unfortunately, this book speaks the truth; something many Americans are quite uncomfortable with. D”Souza reveals the dirty crimes committed by Obama and his gang of thugs as they systematically tistroy the way of life most Americans worked so hard to establish. A MUST READ for anyone who either loves America or hates tyranny.

⭐A great history lesson with many illuminating facts about the evolution and continuing evolution of America

⭐If the book which I haven’t read yet is more thorough than the movie it cannot be less than excellent

⭐A well written & researched book……I recommend it to everyone interested in worlds affairs !
