A Common Sense Platform for the 21st Century (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A Commen-Sense Platform for the 21st Century represents a starting point for true patriots committed to the ideals and principles of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as the Declaration of Independence. The Platform recognizes the genius of the Founders in anticipating progress to the extent that they included a means for amending the American Constitution while keeping the original ideals and precepts intact, a means that stands in stark opposition to today's attempts to throw the baby out with the bathwater. While additional pressing concerns may be added to (or deleted from) the Platform position statements, as events dictate, the tone and construction of this document harkens back to the remarkable (and refreshingly modern) views and tenets contained in Thomas Paine's 1776 booklet, Common Sense, which greatly influenced the Framers and revolutionized governance throughout the world.
