Synopsis

Sarah Palin has become the face of the growing Tea Party movement to such as extent that some view this as her path to the White House in 2012. As Obama's popularity falls, the conservative right are rounding their troops, ready to attack. With stunning cynicism, right-wing pundit Glenn Beck has tried to hijack the legacy of Tom Paine - patriot, visionary and American founder. Kahn seeks to revaluate what is public and what is private, explore the importance of environmental costs and demystify the false debates which distract from the really important issues.

Présentation de l'éditeur

America's extreme Right falsely claims the Founding Fathers as allies for their radical agenda. Pundit Glenn Beck has gone so far as to use the title of Tom Paine’s famous 1776 pamphlet Common Sense for his own book—a book that attacks the political, social and economic rights which Paine and the Founders fought for.
It’s time to cut through the rhetoric, smoke, and spin, and get back to our core American values. We have gone off course as a country by emphasizing consumerism over citizenship, entertainment over education, and "me" over "we." By rediscovering the moral compass our Founders put into place, we can create a united America, and a future worthy of our grandchildren.
