 pure propaganda for the far-right crowd July 19, 2010
the truth, please
4 out of 22 found this review helpful
This book is garbage. Pure garbage.
It is nothing but far-right propaganda.
It is endorsed, not by any literary or historical specialists, but by college drop-out propagandists like Beck and Limbaugh. Of course they endorse it - they never got a decent grade in school as it was. Two hucksters that recognize another huckster in it for the big bucks and the flim-flam of the populace for personal gain.
This book is a pure LIE and anyone who reads it is only wanting to be fed the same nasty, bigoted lies they believe in already. Sounds a lot like the Republican party of 2010 these days.

At first I was skeptical about the professors by the mass fixing history to their ideology of Anti - Americanism. I have seen videos hidden on students to prove that its a reality, not to mention I was kicked out of a class because I dared challange a Professor that talked about America being a land of Slave Owners and ignorant chistians and Quazi Captialists.
I have seen text books even in my high school being un accurate about history and its social implimintations (sorry if I spelled that wrong). This book has been long overdue but bettter late than never. I have learned events from the Civil to the First World war to the Modern War on Terror that my History Teachers nor Politcal Science and Economics teacher told me about in High School even today the Professors that lectures me about history do not know about. This is historical accuracy at its finest. NO this nation was not founded directly on slave owners, no this is not a nation of sexism. This is a nation that yes has a dark past but these pasts are not what really shaped the United States.
This is the ultimate response to these leftist professors and a response to the biased textbooks that try to interprit hisotry their way in their agenda. Why is it that history text books by the majority cannot be like this book. Maybe not in a conservative viewpoint but in its authentic accuracy. Only one may wonder.
This bok will make Howard Zinn, Noham Chomsky, Saul Linsky, turn on their grave

A comprehensive history of United States without the liberal spin that accompany many textbooks. I have read Howard Zinn's People's as well as "Lies my teacher told me" and they all have a place on the shelf for history buffs, but for anyone who wants to know the TRUTH, they should look for this book.
HIGHLY recommended, ignore any negative reviews as I guarantee they haven't read it.

A Faithful One-volume History of the United States July 8, 2010

George Washington in a 1773 letter to a friend wrote:
"The ways of Providence being inscrutable, and the justice of it not to be scanned by the shallow eye of humanity, not to be counteracted by the utmost efforts of human power and wisdom, resignation, and, as far as the strength of our reason and religion can carry us, a cheerful acquiescence to the Divine Will is what we are to aim." And in "A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror" the reader finds a text that is friendly towards the Founding Fathers, Christianity, and absolutes.
Each American citizen should own an accurate volume on the history of the United States and "A Patriot's History of the United States" delivers the potent truth of the history of the USA guided by the providence of God. It discusses the Spanish and English landings in North America to the War on Terror in the 21st century.
The timelines are revealed and the dominant events and people are discussed in a lucid and plain writing style. The arrangement of the important events and people also includes a presentation of the achievements and difficulties of the matter being reviewed. Views of various historians are also included, yet the facts are presented as the truth bears out.
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God" ( Benjamin Franklin).
I recommend this volume and stoutly advocate its use for Home Schoolers, Christian Schools, and public schools. It is an essential book for a minister and parent. It's huge (900+ pages) and makes a great gift (it's really cheap now on Amazon).
"The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity...I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and the attributes of God." (John Adams: June 28, 1813; Letter to Thomas Jefferson).

This is an outstanding resource for kids, teens, parents, and young adults to use as a base in understanding America while the reader learns the important events and essential people involved in the founding, building, and progression of the best country in history viewed through the presuppositions of truth and providence. This work makes for a powerful and alluring one-volume history of the United States of America.
John Adams said in 1775: "We recognize no Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"
