Liberalism vs. Conservatism: A Basic Guide to Understanding Americas 21st Century Civil War

Sun Tzu’s observation is timeless. Even in today's world, all serious athletes do film study to learn the weak points of their opponents. All modern military commanders study the enemy to learn how to best exploit their weaknesses. But just how does it apply to the common person caught in the middle of modern America's culture war? There is a civil war going on in America right now. This one is not being fought with guns and bombs. Rather, it is raging in the arena of ideas. But that doesn't make it any less brutal. And the losers must live by the rules of the winners. The problem is, very few people have any idea what the competing beliefs actually are. We see this as the news media often misrepresents the beliefs of those they cover. It is evident in the stereotypes politicians use to degrade their opponents. Worst of all, we see it in the conversations of common folks who try to express what they believe without understanding why they believe it. This book is a tool all Americans can use to grasp the real nature of this war as they seek to make sense of their place in the world.
