The Politics of Adversity: Taking back our country from the progressive left

Understanding the nature of adversity, where it comes from, why we should embrace it, and how to conquer it is fundamental to a successful life. What is often overlooked is how politicians and activists use adversity to create victims that support their goals. The progressive left has created crises that are causing a decline in our country by destroying our traditional American values. If left unchecked the progressive left's agenda will create an unrecognizable America. If you have struggled with adversity and are concerned about the direction our country is heading, this book is a must read. Some excerpts from the book: "If anyone wanted to devise a plan to take over this country without ever firing a bullet, it would be to put us on the path we are currently on. Our adversaries can simply sit back and watch as the country loses its values that once made us great. We will not see enemy soldiers marching onto our shores or planes flying over our country dropping bombs. Our country's values will slowly be eroded to the point that the transformation of our country into a socialist nation is barely noticeable." "The natural order in our society is defined by these key values: freedom, family, hard work, and personal responsibility. The primary responsibility for teaching these values falls to the parents. Other sources of values may come from schools, relationships, government, or the church. When parents abdicate their responsibility and allow these values to be taught elsewhere, they lose control of the values being taught and the values may be diminished. This causes society to unravel which leads to adversity." "The progressive left's goal of transforming our country into a nation of victims, rather than strong individuals, will destroy our country from within. If and when this occurs, the blame for the destruction of our country will be laid squarely at the feet of the progressive left." "If you put a frog in a pot filled with pleasantly tepid water and gradually heat it, the frog will remain in the water until it boils to death. If we continue down this progressive-radical path, we will be the frog that is boiled to death."
