A Nation Like No Other: Why American Exceptionalism Matters Audio CD – Unabridged, June 14, 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
So says Newt Gingrich in his blockbuster book A Nation like No Other. In this powerful and game-changing book, Gingrich explains what American exceptionalism really means, why the Left has waged an assault on it, and why a rededication to American exceptionalism is imperative to our country's survival. What is American exceptionalism? It is not the bragging of a pompous superpower. Rather, it is a system built on the unique belief that our rights do not come from the government but from God, giving honor and responsibility to the individual--not the state. So says the Declaration of Independence, argues Newt Gingrich.
''In America, the individual is sovereign, not the government,'' states Gingrich. ''That is why President Obama and the Left hate American Exceptionalism--it sets boundaries on the state and federal government's power.'' Featuring a ''10 Things We Wouldn't Have without American Exceptionalism'' section and taking on everything from President Obama to the 2012 elections to our country's long-term future, A Nation Like No Other is the defense of America that this country has been waiting for.

I was born a democrat, son of a policeman in Boston. Now a registered Independent, I was one of the Tea Party guys from the early days who helped to get Scott Brown to take over the "Kennedy Seat" in Mass. Enough about me.
Gingrich and Haley do a very credible job in this book providing a historically sound portrayal of the very early days of the English settlement of the east coast of the North American continent. They then tie some of the experiences of the early settlers into the development of an American Ethos that has become what differentiates us from many people around the world. There are several words that aptly describe the American character that the authors convey: indefatigable... optimistic...determined... and charitable. A look at our darkest hours over the years will find that these are the traits that have always not just gotten us through, but allowed us to PROSPER when conventional wisdom said "these guys are done".
(Having lived abroad for 5 of the past 15 years, I can tell you that these aren't usually the first words that come to mind when other cultures are asked for their impressions of us. But with some dogged persistence, the ethnocentrism embraced by virtually all cultures starts to wear a bit thin, and you start to hear that other cultures are, indeed, struck by America's amazing ability to produce people en mass with the above tendencies. )
To net it out... this book is a call to action. It identifies exactly what the issues are with our "radical secular" judiciary, with the progressive movement in general, and lays out specific things we can all do to start taking our country back. 2012 is a critical year.
Speaker Gingrich is no saint. Neither were some other guys that turned out to have the right stuff when it counted.( can you say "Franklin... Jefferson... Grant... Patton?) But this book has convinced me that Speaker Gingrich both understands the problems America faces at the moment, AND understands procedurally what must be done to start to overcome them.
Great book!
His endurance stems from the fact that he understands the enduring features of our Nation, the devotion to personal Liberty, simple virtues and Government restraint. In his book, "A Nation Like No Other", the Speaker traces the philosophical and historic roots of American Liberty before the Founding Fathers to the First settlers in Jamestown, the Scottish and European Enlightenment, the Magna Carta, the Romans and Greeks. He follows the generations of American immigrants who added to the tradition to the present day with whatever they brought here on their backs to build a better future.
This is what makes American Exceptionalism. What's that? Ask yourself the question: If I had to leave the U.S. today, what country could offer greater opportunity? China? Really? Try it for awhile. Europe? Good Luck. They'll put you in a box. A pretty, sometimes pretty comfortable box. But it's still a box. Brazil? Do you really think so? Australia? It's Europe with lots of ocean front.
Yet American Liberty has faced constant attack whether from Stalin and Mao or the more insidious state planners at home. The constant conflict has a bright side. Americans always have the choice: will we defend American Liberty? Or go the way of the British Empire--or rip itself apart by means of a steady drip of intolerable compromises that dissolve our Liberty and pile up debts to Asian potentates.
No leader can fight this existential battle unless they understand the problem, the importance of Liberty and the threat that is posed by even small concessions to the opponents of Liberty.
This book is part manifesto for Newt's presidential campaign. It is also his witness that he "gets it" in terms of the perils of central planning, bureaucratic over-reach by well-meaning people who believe laudable ends can justify criminal means.
Do you still need proof that Newt "Gets It"? I challenge anybody with a pulse to read through the statements by recent immigrants to the U.S. without brushing away a tear.
