Book excerpt: An incisive look at how an egalitarian elite or eglite has in fact, 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.

Book Synopsis Tainted Legacy by : William Schulz

Download or read book Tainted Legacy written by William Schulz. This book was released on 2003-09-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have human rights as we once understood them become obsolete since 9-11? Aren't new methods needed to combat the apocalyptic violence of al-Qaeda? Shouldn't we sacrifice some rights to make us all safer? And if we can kill a combatant in battle, why shouldn't we torture them if it will save lives? William Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, examines these and other fundamental questions through the prism of our new consciousness about terrorism in this provocative new book. It questions America's own ambivalent record—its tainted legacy—and addresses recent human rights violations: the imprisonment without charge of non-citizens and the violation of the Geneva Convention at Guantanamo Bay. Schulz writes, "One of Osama bin Laden's goals is to destroy the solidarity of the international community and undermine the norms and standards that have sustained that community since the end of World War II. The great irony of the post-9/11 world is that, when it comes to human rights, the United States has been doing his work for him."

She spoke quietly with him, excused herself to powder her face, then allowed herself to be led outside and taken away. Authorities sought to question her in a mystery which had been building for twenty years: Was she a selfless saint who voluntarily cared for the acutely ill in order to nurse them back to health and restore them to their families, or a minister of death whose crimes would qualify her as Americaas first female serial killer?
