A Modern Patriot Calls for Action

Book Cover & Preview Text
A pattern of 5 linked behaviors became clear in my 1000s of debates with liberals: • They exhibited consistent behavior in thousands of debates. • They would willingly join a debate to defend a view, thus they documented a willingness to invest in defending their viewpoint. They were not snippy, nor ridiculing, nor contemptuous, nor insulting, at the point of entry into the conversation. They were gracious and tried to sound intelligent and knowledgeable. Often they claimed to be knowledgeable, or they claimed they were totally focused on facts. • When key historical, math, or logical evidence that clearly favored the conservative view was introduced into the debate, then they started avoiding key evidence. They became evasive, or snippy, or ridiculing, or contemptuous, or insulting. I began noting their changes in behavior, and trying to recognize the patterns. • If I simply proclaimed these changes in behaviors were not allowed, that they had to join in a balanced, Socratic dialogue about the key evidence that conflicted with their opinion just as honestly as they presented evidence in their favor, they became angry and indignant, or refused to participate. These linked behaviors made it clear the liberals knew where the "dead bodies" were: the knowledge of facts that expose, neuter, and destroy the virtue of their advocacy. It was evident across all intelligence strata. The smarter they were, the better they anticipated and avoided the key supporting arguments. They saw when the "dead bodies" were getting close, made sure the conversation steered away, and began to contrive a pattern of excuses for avoiding the evidence.

About the Book
Democrat and Republican factions continue to spread lies, and the United States will be ruined if they’re allowed to go unchecked.
Their behavior can easily be compared to the Jim Crow South – only this time, it’s constitutional conservatives who are being abused. The good people of America need to join forces to launch an MLK-style movement to restore equal rights and fiscal sanity.
John Lofgren, an intellectual patriot, explains how the liberal movement and faux conservatives are perverting the entire fiscal system in this powerful narrative that uncovers startling parallels between the past and present. He traces the frightening trajectory of U.S. fiscal policy beginning with the 1840s Erie Canal financing.
By providing a platform for proposing solutions to the corruption and misguided views rampant in government, the author seeks to bring the country back to a firm foundation of financial stability.
This book builds a case to de-socialize the banking system, end preferential rights, and re-establish state powers in order to reignite the pride and diversity America once leveraged to great economic advantage.
