Nothing written about the ideals of our nation since the 1950s is trustworthy. Nothing written since the 18th century about the philosophical, moral or ethical creation of the county should be trusted. Go back to the original sources. There is plenty written by Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Washington, Adams and Marshall to go by including the Federalists Papers.
Why people think tribal culture is a superior way of life compared to a Republic I’ll never understand. Because they’ve never lived it?
Ho-hum. More Jill Lepore State-shtupping.
It’s interesting how this book half-heartedly pretends to be balanced. I guess its target audience is true believers who want some coffee table validation and are probably too lazy or disinterested to actually crack the spine.
