American Badass: The Future is Freedom

American Badass: The Future is Freedom

A song of praise to the American Constitution and the cultural legacy that enabled it to produce unsurpassed liberty and opportunity for centuries, American Badass explores the extraordinary power of the four key values which empowered everyday Americans to become models of human potential: FREEDOM: the burning love of liberty SELF-RELIANCE: the unbending toughness requisite to stand on your own feet UNCONQUERABILITY: the gritty determination needed to manifest your goals IMPOSSIBLISM: the indefatigable idealism which does the "impossible" Through historical narrative, legal and scholarly proof, and earthy anecdote, here you discover these four core principles at work on the leaking, creaking Mayflower plus: underlying the vision and sacrifice of American Revolution 1.0; shaping the lives and characters of such foundational figures as Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, John and Abigail Adams; emboldening the People--individually and collectively--to overcome virtually every challenge. You will see how the Constitution codified and encouraged the development of a cultural ethos which engendered personal independence, inventiveness, and prosperity which flourished well into the 1800s. You will also find, however, how banking and financial interests continually sought to wrest control of the levers of legislative and monetary control from the People, and how they have produced the ever more malign and chaotic cultural conditions we find today. And, by the end, you will grasp--through dozens of stories of straight-up Yankee badass from those revolutionary generations through our own time--how those core principles of American Badass can provide innumerable examples and pathways to solve today’s challenges...and how the rediscovery and restoration of that can-do American spirit is not only possible but imminent, as AmRev 2.0 prepares the way for a next-level liberation of the human spirit not only stateside, but around the world.
