The Essential Guide to Rolling Back the Progressive Assault and Putting America Back on Course



Many Americans are concerned, frightened, angry. The country, it seems, is on the wrong track.

But what is the right course for America? Knowing what we stand against is not the same as knowing what we stand for.

Just in time, Matthew Spalding provides the plan for translating angst into proper action in this bestselling book. We Still Hold These Truths offers a bracing analysis of how and why we have lost our bearings as a nation and lays out the strategy to rescue our future from arbitrary and unlimited government.

Using a prose, not unlike that of a History Channel narrator, one could actually hear the author in crystal clarity as his narrative lays before the reader a revealing dissertation.

Matthew Spalding’s approach here is quite simple in its concept; expose the reader to a brief history of the burgeoning years of our country, offer us a flavor of the superior literacy of the colonies at the time and through a tantalizing sprinkling of the literary influences that shaped the Founders’ thoughts, he demonstrated how their efforts bore the genius of the longest lasting Constitution in world history.

Spalding described in great detail, the genesis of those ‘truths’ we hold so dear. He explained, in his narrator’s voice (that even now echoes in my head), how “Equality, natural rights and the consent of the governed,” are used as the springboard into creating a document that would become the very foundation of our nation, what that document said in principle, and how it is to be employed in practice.
Matthew Spalding, We Still Hold These Truths, (Wilmington, DE: ISI Books, 2009), p. 29.

“From ancient Greece, the Founders learned mostly what to avoid…Alexander Hamilton voiced their collective assessment in Federalist 9: ‘It is impossible to read the history of the petty republics of Greece and Italy without feeling sensations of horror and disgust at the distractions with which they were continually agitated, and at the rapid succession of revolutions by which they were kept in a state of perpetual vibration between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy.’” (Ibid, p. 17.)

He also captured the present-day threats to those ‘truths’ and how those threats came into being. Spalding offers the U.S. Citizen in the twenty first century a blueprint showing what we can do about salvaging our future by getting us back to our roots; back to placing the U.S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land.

“Our principles always await rediscovery, not because they are written on faded parchments in glass cases, but because the immutable truths of liberty are eternally etched on the human soul.” (Ibid, p. 239.)

We Still Hold These Truths Rediscovering Our Principles Reclaiming Our Future edition by Matthew Spalding Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

I first heard about this book when Daniel Hannan highly recommended it in one of his speeches. I thank him for that. It is too bad that books like this are not taught in today's schools. What stood out for me were the four qualities that the Founders thought were necessary for Americans to be self-governing
1. Citizens had to possess the virtue of self-reliance.
2. Courage, risk-taking, and competitiveness.
3. A keen knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
4. Self-restraint and a strong sense of personal and public moderation.

The author points out how the Progressives have bastardized the Constitution to fit their ideology. The author also lists some things in the last chapter that we can do (as a nation) to save this great Country. Unfortunately, it is almost too late.

Overall, this book was informative and well worth reading.
Every American should read this book, more than once! This book, as Jefferson famously said, is an 'expression of the American Mind!'
This book provides in easily understandable language, the original intent of our Founding Fathers. It also makes many references to where the information is located in our Founding Documents, which includes The Federalist Papers. This should serve as a primary source for those, who have not paid adequate attention to these foundational precepts and are now trying to get up to speed. Matt Spalding has performed a great service to our nation and to us as responsible citizens!
This is a fantastic read. I learned a great deal about the history of the Constitution and Dr. Spalding's thoughts on interpretation.

I would recommend this book whether you are left or right of the political centre. Having a grounding in understanding the traditionalist interpretations of the Constitution is quite valuable.

As an atheist, I was extremely interested in the section Dr. Spalding wrote on the influence and importance of Christianity to the history of the United States, Liberty, and the Constitution. The section on reconciling slavery with the Bill of Rights was also a very interesting read.

I would strongly recommend reading this book.
