Dismissing of America's Covenant with God

This volume looks at how, as America went through the 1960s, its achievement of superpower status invited both deep "e;Progressive"e; political changes at home (Johnson's Great Society) and aggressive "e;Democratic"e; involvement abroad (Vietnam)-in both instances resulting in social catastrophe. The narrative continues, describing the battle to hold America's traditional Christian political-moral foundations (based on the American family and local community) against the urge of Congressional Progressivists, a Liberal media, idealistic academics, a Boomer generation, and federal judges to rewrite those same standards along more Secular lines. It covers Nixon s diplomatic successes abroad yet his humiliation at home (Watergate); the resultant collapse of all social order in Indochina with the retreat of America from the region; Carter s discovery that diplomatic niceness is not a good substitute for real power; the restoration of American national pride during the Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton years (thanks to strong but carefully measured policies); the disaster that hit when Bush Jr. decided to democratize Afghanistan and Iraq; the deep Change that Obama attempted to bring to a centuries-old traditional America; and finally the arrival of Trump, deeply contested by political adversaries.It looks at the moral-spiritual character (rather universally Christian) of America s national leadership since 1960 and how that had its own impact on the country, even during this distinctly post-Christian period.The narrative concludes with a review of the various political-moral lessons we should draw from America s own national narrative particularly the necessity of getting back into an all-important Covenant relationship with God.
