IF YOU DREAM OF A BETTER TOMORROW FOR AMERICA, FIRST FACE
THE REALITIES OF TODAY.
Expanding on his candid
“Chalk Talks” that inform the popular Lou Dobbs
Tonight, the outspoken journalist points us toward the
path to a revived America by forcing us to face facts: our
nation has lost its moorings.
We are alienated from
political parties that have ignored the middle class, and we
are rightfully outraged when General Electric, the world’s
third-largest multinational conglomerate, pays zero
corporate taxes while the average American struggles.
We live in an era of bipartisan dysfunction, and of
cronyism that would make 19th-century robber barons blush.
Our business leaders are failing because CEOs know how
tightly their success is linked to political contributions.
We can’t talk honestly about America’s enemies
without fear of reprimand from the ACLU. Political
correctness is shackling our common sense.
We
reelected a president who presided over one of the worst
economies in history, set our foreign policy adrift, and
expressed contempt for the foundations of our
free-enterprise system.
We have lost the values
that once defined “the American way”—thrift, faith,
efficiency, community, ingenuity—and have given in to big
business, an insatiable government ruling class, and accept
our trillion-dollar debt as the new normal.
And we
are kept in the dark, thanks to the media that scarcely
cover the issues that may not sell to a profitable
demographic.
So what’s the good news? Every one of
these problems is fixable, and can be addressed right now.
In Upheaval, Lou Dobbs explains how to start thinking
clearly again, how to engage in issues that matter, how to
win arguments based on ideas and knowledge (knowledge really
is power), and how to make a difference that’s imperative to
our survival. Upheaval arms readers with this
information for fighting back, and does it as only Lou Dobbs
can: with a style as frank and intelligent as it is witty
and unfailingly honest.
