The Blood of Patriots
Author: Bill Fulton
Publisher: BenBella Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1944648089
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
When Bill Fulton arrived in Alaska, he was filled with optimism and big dreams. When he left, it was under FBI escort. Bill was Army Infantry. When his knees gave out, he opened the Drop Zone, a military surplus store in Anchorage, and started hiring fellow vets. Sharpshooting hippies, crew-cutted fundamentalists, PTSD sufferers—all seeking purpose and direction. Alaska gave it to them. The Last Frontier is vast. The perfect refuge for fugitives and the perfect place for vets itching for a mission, Alaska is a giant icebox full of people either running to or away from something. More than 400 fugitives would meet Bill and company on the wrong side of a gun, and he would learn many lessons along the way—like even tiptoeing through subzero snow can get you shot, and removing a gun from the butt crack of a 300-pound man is just as fun as it sounds. Bill was enjoying the ride until, one day, the FBI asked him to go undercover, and his road forked. Schaeffer Cox was a sovereign citizen who believed no government had authority over him and a private militia commander amassing an arsenal and plotting to kill judges and law enforcement officers. Bill's mission: to take down Cox and his militia without a shot being fired. The Blood of Patriots traverses a wide swath of rugged territory. Raucously funny and stark, it depicts men, once brothers in arms serving their country, who now find themselves on opposite sides of those arms in a deadly test of the intricacies of liberty, the proper role of government, and the true meaning of patriotism. It offers a witty and unsettling look at political rhetoric gone haywire and a movement the FBI considers the single greatest threat to law enforcement in the nation—all set in the beautiful, terrifying landscape of our 49th State.

When he arrives in the peaceful town of Basalt, he makes a shocking discovery: Muslim immigrants are taking over, buying up buildings, purchasing land, setting up training camps and planning . . . what? Like an army, they’ve descended on the town. They’ve set up their homes like military barracks, forcing their way of life on the community and bending the law against their neighbors. As Ward begins to dig, he uncovers a terrifying truth: The enemy is here, on American soil. And if we don’t stand and fight--like our nation’s forefathers—we can kiss freedom goodbye.

Honest Patriots
Author: Donald W. Shriver Jr.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199702608
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
In Honest Patriots, renowned public theologian and ethicist Donald W. Shriver, Jr. argues that we must acknowledge and repent of the morally negative events in our nation's past. The failure to do so skews the relations of many Americans to one another, breeds ongoing hostility, and damages the health of our society. Yet our civic identity today largely rests on denials, forgetfulness, and inattention to the memories of neighbors whose ancestors suffered great injustices at the hands of some dominant majority. Shriver contends that repentance for these injustices must find a place in our political culture. Such repentance must be carefully and deliberately cultivated through the accurate teaching of history, by means of public symbols that embody both positive and negative memory, and through public leadership to this end. Religious people and religious organizations have an important role to play in this process. Historically, the Christian tradition has concentrated on the personal dimensions of forgiveness and repentance to the near-total neglect of their collective aspects. Recently, however, the idea of collective moral responsibility has gained new and public visibility. Official apologies for past collective injustice have multiplied, along with calls for reparations. Shriver looks in detail at the examples of Germany and South Africa, and their pioneering efforts to foster and express collective repentance. He then turns to the historic wrongs perpetrated against African Americans and Native Americans and to recent efforts by American citizens and governmental bodies to seek public justice by remembering public injustice. The call for collective repentance presents many challenges: What can it mean to morally master a past whose victims are dead and whose sufferings cannot be alleviated? What are the measures that lend substance to language and action expressing repentance? What symbolic and tangible acts produce credible turns away from past wrongs? What are the dynamics-psychological, social, and political-whereby we can safely consign an evil to the past? How can public life witness to corporate crimes of the past in such a way that descendents of victims can be confident that they will never be repeated? In his provocative answers to these questions Shriver creates a compelling new vision of the collective repentance and apology that must precede real progress in relations between the races in this country.

Explaining Evil
Author: J. Harold Ellens
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313387168
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1046
Book Description
In this three-volume set, international scholars from across a broad spectrum of scholarly fields examine the concept of evil throughout history and world cultures from religious, scientific, psychological, and political perspectives. The manifestation of evil has provided a convenient theme for popular culture entertainment, ranging from the classic film The Exorcist, to almost all of Stephen King's horror novels, to video games such as Resident Evil. Unfortunately, dealing with—and attempting to overcome—the forces of evil is a pervasive problem in the real world as well. Explaining Evil addresses incidents of evil from ancient times to modern day around the globe. Concepts of evil within the big three religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—are examined, as well as in Chinese philosophy and Native American beliefs. The political or national expressions of evil are explored, such as the "axis of evil" that culminated in World War II. These volumes identify the causes and effects of evil, and suggest possible remedies to humanity's inescapable flaw.

The Patriot
Author: Dewey Goldsmith
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452031789
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
In this provocative book, author Dewey Goldsmith explores the probability that decades of failed national policies have changed the character of our country and will lead to a second war of independence. He identifies the social, economic, and political changes that deliver free people into common servitude. We see the plight of a free people betrayed by their leaders then he brings to life the flame of liberty in the betrayed. In these pages Goldsmith offers an illuminating analysis of the concentration of power in a corrupt central government. We see how apathy fuels the erosion of civil liberties that lead to autocracy and persecution. He makes us ask ourselves, could the specter of such a tragedy someday haunt America?

Patriots of Treason

Publisher: Defiance Press & Publishing LLC.
ISBN: 099054396X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
After decades of erosion of the U.S. Constitution, the United States is faced with a major constitutional crisis not seen since the Civil War. Despite being plagued by scandals and economic woes, a president astoundingly wins re-election to a second term largely based on the promise of redistribution of the nation’s wealth and an “October Surprise.” The night he is re-elected, an assassination attempt throws America into chaos, resulting in riots, food shortages and violence across the country. When it is discovered the assassin has ties to the Tea Party, the President and his administration see their opportunity to quash political opposition and launch a diabolical conspiracy to hide the truth of the assassin’s real motives. The President and his minions attempt to keep the lid on the conspiracy by any means necessary, including issuing unconstitutional executive orders. Jack-booted federal agents are ordered to raid private citizens’ homes to eradicate the Tea Party once and for all. After an ordinary citizen in Texas, a founder of a local Tea Party, is terrorized and held without due process, the governor of Texas dispatches iconic Texas legend Pops Younger to rescue him. The entire country becomes riveted in the suspense of the high-stakes chess game that pits the State of Texas and the Texas Rangers against the administration and the ATF, which in turn escalates to unprecedented proportions. An exciting and fast-paced political thriller, Patriots of Treason presents a very realistic ‘what if’ scenario that will keep you on the edge of your seat, regardless of your political persuasion.
