    About this audiobook

    The #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of A Patriot's History of the United States examines ten current challenges.

    America is at a crossroads. We face two options: continue our descent toward big government, higher taxes, less individual liberty, and more debt or pull our country back on the path our Founding Fathers planned for us. But that path isn't always so easy to see.

    Following the success of his previous books, conservative historian Larry Schweikart tackles some of the key issues confronting our nation today: education, government bailouts, gun control, health care, the environment, and more. For each he asks, "What would the founders say?" and sets out to explore our history and offer wisdom to help us get back on track. What would really be compatible with the vision that Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and the other founders had for America?

    Written in Schweikart's informal yet informative style, What Would the Founders Say? is sure to delight his fans and anyone looking for a little clarity on tough issues.

      Entirely and intentionally deceptive. Schweikart cherry-picks quotes to support his own ideas. He perpetuates the propagandist notion that the country was founded as a Christian state rather than as a state of religious freedom and tolerance. The work is devoid of any context for the many misleading quotes. If you already agree with Schweikart, then enjoy bolstering your wobbly convictions with gossamer.
    • 5/5
      A remarkable argument for the intentions of the Founding Fathers. Despite creative interpretations of modern day activists and politicians, the men who founded this nation had definite ideals and created a government which is very flexible... unfortunately, open to molding to something unrecognizable to those who founded this great country. Once again, Mr. Schweikart goes so in depth, he really prevents any alternative theories as to why the Founders actually desired a European parliamentary system, socialist or otherwise.
