Is America Based on Oppression and Theft?

Dear Friends,

I am an Indian immigrant to this country and a proud American citizen. I love this country and fear that unless the Progressives' anti-American arguments are met forcibly and on their own terms, America will cease to be the beacon of freedom and hope that it always has been.

If America is a force for inequality and injustice in the world, its power deserves to be diminished; if traditional America is based on oppression and theft, then traditional America must be reformed – and the federal government can do the reforming.

After all, to love our country, our country should be lovely. My new book examines exactly why America is lovely:

"America" book cover

In America: Imagine a World without Her, I offer a passionate and sharply reasoned defense of America, knocking down every important accusation made by Progressives against our country. In this book, you'll learn:

  • Why it is a pernicious myth that English colonists "stole" America from the Indians or that American settlers and soldiers "stole" the southwest from Mexico
  • Why the descendants of slaves – and the successive waves of immigrants to the United States – are better off here than in their old countries
  • How America, more than any other country, is based on rewarding the enterprise and hard-work of the common man
  • How traditional American virtues sustain prosperity and freedom, and Progressive arguments about "liberation" and "justice" undercut them
  • How Progressive demagoguery about "inequality" expands the power of government and its grasp on the taxpayer's wallet
  • Why we should fear the Progressive agenda of "reform" which is in fact an agenda of totalitarian control of the state over the individual
  • Why national decline is a choice – a choice that it is still not too late to reverse

America: Imagine The World Without Her is available everywhere June 2, and you can pre-order the book right now on Amazon.

Please share or tweet about my new book and spread the word: America is the world's last best hope!

This week, I released the second episode of American Moments, my weekly web video series on what makes America great and what progressives do to undermine her.

This new episode is about the difference in opportunity that America provided to me. For example, if I had stayed in India, my destiny would have largely been determined for me. Instead, I chose to come to America where I am the architect of my own destiny. Watch the video to hear more about the opportunities of my adopted home.

Sincerely,
