Defend the West: The Culture of Freedom

The Culture of Freedom addresses the threats facing Western civilization from authoritarian regimes and internal neo-Marxist activists. These forces challenge our military strength and cultural values, attacking monuments, holidays, and dissenters. Despite these challenges, Western ideals like liberty, rationality, and Judaeo-Christian ethics remain vital. Signs of hope include Brexit, Australia’s rejection of the Indigenous Voice, and grassroots movements in Florida and Adelaide advocating for traditional values and rigorous education. This book is a call to recognize, defend, and celebrate the rich heritage that has shaped the free world. "Over the last 20 to 30 years cultural-left critics have critiqued and attacked Western culture portraying it as guilty of classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism and imperialism. Judaeo-Christianity has been especially targeted by Woke critics intent on denying the importance of religious morality and spirituality. Despite these challenges, Western ideals like liberty, rationality and Judaeo-Christian virtues and ethics remain vital." -- back cover.
