Our book for September Fifteenth is the bestseller," American Theocracy: The
Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the
Twenty-first Century" [DB91624] by Kevin Phillips. His book, "The Emerging
Republican Majority", published in 1969 while he served in the Nixon
administration as chief political and voting-patterns analyst was the bible for
the development of the Republican "southern Strategy". He now blames the
Republican Party for the results of this strategy, that is of becoming "the
southern-dominated, biblically driven Washington GOP" ."a rogue coalition
"which he decries in the Preface to this month's book.
He provides an extensive historical background to show that every world
dominating power from Rome to Great Britain eventually declined because of a
combination of diminishing resources, militant religion, Global over reach and
excessive borrowing. He then relates these trends to the United States,
today's only remaining superpower. The NLS BARD version is marked up to
identify Parts, Chapters and sections.
Author of 14 books, Phillips is now a political Independent and is an
outspoken critic of both political parties. He is a regular contributor to the
Los Angeles Times, AS WELL AS A commentator for NPR, and PBS.
