Could there be a time in the not-too-distant future when
schoolchildren around the world will study about the rise
and fall of the United States? Barring major cultural and
societal shifts, at least one American lawmaker believes so.
IN MORTAL DANGER lays out the case that the hub of
Western civlization, the United States, is on course to the
dustbin of history. Like the great and mighty empires of the
past--"superpowers" that once stretched from horizon to
horizon--America is heading down the road to ruin. English historian Edward Gibbon, in penning his classic THE
RISE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (ironically published in
the year America's Founding Fathers declared independence
from Great Britain), theorized that Rome fell because it
rotted from within. It succumbed to barbarian invasions
because of a loss of civic virtue, its citizens became lazy
and soft, hiring barbarian mercenaries to defend the empire
because they were unwilling to defend it themselves. Congressman Tom Tancredo explains in cogent, rational detail
how America is on a similar path. He believes that the
incredible economic success and historical military prowess
of the United States has transformed a nation founded on
Judeo-Christian principles of right and wrong into an
overindulgent, self-deprecating, immoral cesspool of depravity. Without strong, moral leadership, without a renewed sense of
purpose, without a rededication to family and community,
without shunning the race hustlers and pop-culture sham
artists, without protecting our borders, language, and
culture, the nation that once was the "land of the free and
home of the brave" and the "one last hope of mankind" will
repeat the catastrophic mistakes of the past. IN MORTAL
DANGER is his prescription for repairing the damage.
