In this academic guide to postmodern philosophy, Dr. Keene F. Tiedemann explains how and why “progressive” scholars engage in a covert cultural war against traditional American values. Dr. Tiedemann’s empirical evidence suggests that we are being indoctrinated into a relativist ideology that is coarsening our culture and removing civility from the public square. He powerfully illustrates how we have been betrayed to our spiritual core by the deconstruction of our cultural heritage with revisionist history and the destruction of the Judeo-Christian philosophy upon which this nation was founded. His masterful research analyses how the advance of pantheistic and atheistic paradigms promote the amoral agenda advocated by America’s current generation of postmodern politicians. This agenda allows heinous acts of immorality to infiltrate the public domain. This work is a MUST READ for anyone interested in protecting our American heritage! As combat rages on in the mountains of Afghanistan and the cities of Iraq a new war has begun. It is not the type of war you think about when someone refers to "Nine-Eleven." This war is very different from the one currently being conducted on the battlefields of the Middle East. It is a war for the soul of American society. It is a war to determine the moral and philosophical direction in which we head. It is a war whose outcome will determine whether this nation will thrive or fail. And like all wars, it is a war that will be won. The question is: By whom? America’s primary enemy is a master of deception who has given postmodern society a generation of American leaders whose college years were accentuated by the common use of mind-altering drugs and "free-love." This enemy produced a generation so spiritually weak and morally gutless they allowed their personal fear to overcome any semblance of self-sacrifice for our national defense. We see their rejection of authority giving license to abandonment of the very traditions that made this country great. What this developmental pattern has given America is a generation of national leaders who prioritize social equality over social morality, freedom of speech over public decency, and redistribution of wealth over individual personal empowerment. Their laws are responsible for the attenuation of public educational standards as well as personal discipline among students. They allow the propagation of child pornography, advance the homosexual agenda, and suppress religious expression. They defend the right to life for rapists, pedophiles, and murderers on death row while simultaneously endorsing fetal homicide, suicide, and state-sponsored euthanasia of innocent victims incapable of defending themselves. The ultimate aim of this book is to make sure that America’s citizens know their enemy! Keene Fulton Tiedemann was born in Knoxville, Tennessee.
