Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0

America's Caesar: The Decline and Fall of Republican Government in the United States of America, by Greg Loren Durand. 2001

From the back:
"America is no longer the land of the free. In Senate Report 93-549, the U.S. Congress made the astonishing admission that, since at least 9 March 1933, the American people have lived under a state of national emergency (martial law). Instead of a federal Government of delegated and limited powers, what now operates from Washington, D.C. is a centralized military despotism which claims ultimate sovereignty over its citizens and rules them by statute in all cases whatsoever. Gone is the right of the people to own property, gone is their right to due process in a constitutional court, and gone are their liberties.

Beginning with the usurpations of Abraham Lincoln, this book explains how the so-called emergency powers of the President of the United States developed over a period of seven decades and finally culminated in the virtual supplanting of the Constitution by Frankin Delanoe Roosevelt's New Deal democracy. The author draws heavily from a wealth of rare political literature from the past two centuries, as well as long-forgotten Government documents to paint an unsettling picture of American history and to show why nothing ever seems to change in Washington, no matter which political party is in power."
The book begins with the American Revolution and traces the Tory movement to the Federalists and the New England Secessionism during the War of 1812, and on to the rise of the "Grand Ole Party" of Lincoln, the War Between the States, and on to FDR and today. Extensively documented with long quotations from period newspapers, published speeches, minutes from the Constitutional Convention and documents from the State Legislatures, Court cases, etc. Massive footnotes, and even includes a built in study guide with questions (and answers) for each chapter. Big book, over 500 pages, large size format with small type.

Absolutely fascinating reading, pro-Christian and pro-limited government, and shows that the American Revolution did not end with the Treaty of Peace or the cessation of armed hostilities, but continued until at least 1865 and on to FDR's time in the 1930s.

I'd say it's must reading for anyone who wants to understand American history. Looks like it would make an excellent history or government textbook for homeschoolers or private schools, too.
