...forceful and sensitive commentary on culture... -- Night Owl Reviews

Product Description

An incisive look at how an egalitarian elite has, over the past 100 years, led America away from equality and the rule of law as it pursued Rouseau's sterile egalitarianism. Rouseau's model failed, America's Old Left "red diaper" offspring donned the mantle to begin their "long march" through our institutions as the New Left, setting out to deconstruct the American Experiment without offering a concrete replacement. In the author's analysis, the extent of their success is alarming.

In a fascinating and cogent tale Rumer follows modern man through technical revolution, a world depression, and two world wars, setting the stage for a civil rights struggle soon to be the vehicle for legal and social corruption.

In a narrative given breath by first-hand experience, Rumer describes a new eglite representing academia, the law, the arts, religion, politics and media emerging as fellow travelers of the New Left.

Far from pessimistic, Rumer finds hope in the "theory of generations." Just as their predecessors, the Lost and G.I. generations, overcame seemingly insurmountable adversity in the past, Rumer sees Generation "X" leading the Millennials out of inevitable future crises engendered by the American egalitarian aberration.
