  • ISBN : 1476650624
  • Pages : 277 pages

Download or read book From Ronald to Donald written by Edwin G. Oswald and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 4, 1980, American voters gave Ronald Reagan a 41-state Electoral College landslide. The man this mandate carried into the White House was largely compounded of mythology. Like most compelling mythologies, Reagan's was a synthesis of celebrity as well as emotional, intellectual, and cultural streams. Throughout his eight years in the oval office, the "Great Communicator" was largely successful in shaping the soul of America to reflect his durable mantra that "government is the problem." That same American soul later embraced Donald Trump--a president who, the authors argue, would have appalled Reagan. Reagan's myth persists, and by understanding his time in office in the context of American history and of the American presidency, we can understand how a transformative president created more than policy by also shaping culture with the instrumental force of mythology. This book attempts to neither praise nor bury Reagan but to explain him in non-partisan terms of contemporary popular mythology. The authors examine his legacy in his war on "big government," which still drives politics, economic policy, and culture, even in Trump's era. They make the case that understanding the mythology at work is a necessary step toward healing American politics and saving American democracy.

A hilarious and timely essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from upcoming comedy superstar and 2 Dope Queens podcaster Phoebe Robinson Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn’t that . . . white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page—and she’s going to make you laugh as she’s doing it. Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus," to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Can't Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.

Download or read book Christian Socialism written by Philip Turner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Socialism is a movement that arose in England in the mid-nineteenth century and continues into the twenty-first century. This form of socialism was aimed, in the first instance, not at institutional reform or the nationalization of the means of production but at what its proponents viewed as the moral rot that lay at the foundation of first industrial and then digital society. They opposed what we call neoliberalism and what was then known as political economy because supporters of these ideologies believed that moral convictions had no proper place in the operation of markets. This conviction rested upon the false belief that people are essentially selfish, competitive individuals seeking personal happiness. The aim of Christian Socialists was to replace this "rotten" moral foundation with another based on the view that people are social and cooperative by nature rather than competitive. Their goal was nothing less than a new society built not upon selfishness and aggression but upon social virtues such as equality, fellowship, cooperation, service, and justice. They did not deny the presence of selfishness; however, they believed that the social nature of humankind lies deeper than egotism and conflict, and they sought a society built upon this belief.

Imagine yourself as the judge, presiding over a case that will reshape your understanding of faith, self-governance, and the indomitable spirit of a nation. The plaintiff, the enigmatic HH Empress Queen Christina Clement, takes the stand with an unwavering resolve to present her case. She stands as a representative of the Loc Nation, a community intricately tied to the sacred Nazirite vow. With her authoritative voice, she lays out the argument that this vow is more than a mere relic of the past—it's a living testament to a global struggle, a beacon of self-governance, and a call to action that resonates across borders. The courtroom buzzes with anticipation as Clement builds her argument brick by brick, her words resonating like the pounding of a gavel. Drawing evidence from the annals of history, she masterfully weaves together the threads of the Nazirite vow's connection to biblical scriptures, shedding light on its profound significance. She delves into the shadows of a dark era—the illegal slave trade—a global atrocity that shook the foundations of humanity. With every carefully curated piece of evidence, she invites you, the judge, to ponder the depths of this historical interplay. As you listen to the proceedings, you'll be introduced to a staggering number: 1.4 trillion Loc Nationites and 4.2 million Black individuals worldwide. Their stories and experiences are the crux of the evidence presented. Their voices echo in the courtroom, a collective chorus that reverberates through time, begging for recognition and justice. But the courtroom drama doesn't end there. The rule book is laid bare, contributions of the International Jurists Commission a prestigious entity within the legal world—the principles of justice, the declaration of self-governance, and the pursuit of truth. You, the reader, are summoned to render your judgment. Will you stand with the plaintiff, recognizing the Nazirite vow as a beacon of hope and change and should be recognized as artifact of faith? Who is responsible for the illegal slave trade church, government or both? Should Loc nation and African Americans be properly compensated for the extreme years of wicked acts all nations have experienced and proclaimed self governance? What would be the fair remedy? Or will you take a different stance, swayed by the intricate dance between history, faith, and personal conviction? "Revealed: The Kingdom of Locs Nazirite Vow Continues - Volume 2" is not merely a book—it's a court case that beckons you to join the pursuit of justice, to explore the tangle of narratives that bind the past and the present, and to make a decision that resonates with the heartbeat of humanity. Enter the courtroom of history, take your seat as the judge, and immerse yourself in the pages of this monumental work that challenges you to answer the ultimate question: What would be your judgment?
