Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America
Alan: Here is how Marine vet friend Tom Magnuson (a Duke-trained historian himself) introduced me to Duke historian Nancy McLean's seismically important book "Democracy In Chains."
Tom Magnuson As a rule, I hate to nag but our perilous situation calls for exceptions to rules, so I say now if you have not or are not now reading "Democracy in Chains..." you risk being complicit in treason. It is the most important book in our times. Please, invest the time.
Alan Archibald If possible, please provide a brief (or not so brief) review — and/or some revealing quotations. Thanks!
Tom Magnuson A measure of the importance of the work is that it has been attacked by the Cato Inst. (another of Buchanan's offspring) as "fiction." Here is a link to Bill Moyer's excerpts.https://billmoyers.com/.../book-democracy-in-chains-far.../
Julian Foster When you see the degradation of education and the status of educators in our society in the past 70 years, and then can actively tie that to constant underfunding... it all starts to make sense. They read history and understood what the words of Jefferson meant..." Above all things, I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty "
Now we see liberty eroded at the pace of education erosion... I don't believe in prolific coincidence... it happens on the RARE occasion and should be HIGHLY scrutinized when it does, else look for "the man behind the curtain", they are certainly there, pulling the levers... hang them when you find them, it's like sparring a tick... why?
