Editorial Reviews

Review

(Regarding the hardcover edition)

He s speaking to the larger question, in the same way that Churchill did when he said, "Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those others that have been tried." In fact, on page 128 he pretty much summed up the reason for these tea parties:

Thus our system of government was set up as a republic, where we vote, not on issues directly, but for representatives who would then cast votes for us. Yet representative democracy has its dangers as well. If the representative does not represent the will of the people, the system breaks down.

--Pursuing Holiness

(Regarding the hardcover edition)

Mr Hushbeck's book is an eminently readable exposition detailing point by point what might be described as political or cultural catchpoints with each chapter addressing a different catchpoint. These catchpoints are issues which, if matters go unchecked might be seen as most likely stumbling blocks for our American political experiment.

--Mark Olson, Stones Cry Out

Product Description

Like an aging monument, democracy itself is crumbling. An ever increasing government threatens both freedom and a financial collapse. Judges are acting more like kings themselves than interpreters of the law Redisticting, voter fraud, campaign finance controls, and an uninformed electorate threaten the integrity of elections. The values that made America the greatest country in the world are being supplanted. Government's attempts to make people's lives better often have the opposite effect What is causing this decay? What can we do? Preserving Democracy was written to answer these questions. Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. defends American constitutional government by: focusing on specific ideas rather than personalities, being ideologically sharp, yet non-partisan in tone using clear and simple, but never simplistic, arguments. Are you equipped for the task of Preserving Democracy?
