On his first presidential visit to address the European
nations, President Obama felt it necessary to apologize for
America’s international power. He repeated that apology
when visiting Latin America, and again to Muslims worldwide
in an interview broadcast on Al-Arabiya television. In No Apology, Mitt Romney asserts that American strength is
essential—not just for our own well-being, but for the
world’s. Governments such as China and a newly-robust
Russia threaten to overtake us on many fronts, and radical
Islam continues its dangerous rise. Drawing on history for
lessons on how great powers collapse, Romney shows how and
why our national advantages have eroded. From the long-term
decline of our manufacturing base, our laggard educational
system that has left us without enough engineers,
scientists, and other skilled professionals, our corrupted
financial practices that led to the current crisis, and the
crushing impact of entitlements on our future obligations,
America is in debt, overtaxed, and unprepared for the
challenges it must face. We need renewal: fresh ideas to cut through complicated
problems and restore our strength. Creative and bold,
Romney proposes simple solutions to rebuild industry, create
good jobs, reduce out of control spending on entitlements
and healthcare, dramatically improve education, and restore
a military battered by eight years of war. Most important,
he calls for a new commitment to citizenship, a common cause
we all share, rather than a laundry list of individual
demands. Many of his solutions oppose President Obama’s
policies, many also run counter to Republican thinking, but
all have one strategic aim: to move America back to
political and economic strength. Personal and dynamically-argued, No Apology is a call to
action by a man who cares deeply about America’s history,
its promise, and its future.
