Liberty, the God That Failed: Policing the Sacred and Constructing the Myths of the Secular State, from Locke to Obama

Liberty, the God That Failed: Policing the Sacred and Constructing the Myths of the Secular State, from Locke to Obama Review

Buy From Amazon.com

What has gone wrong with the grand American experiment in "ordered liberty"? The progressive answer is that America has failed to live up to its full promise of inclusiveness and equality--likely the result of corporate greed and white male ruling elites. The mainstream conservative or libertarian's reply points to the Warren Court, the 1960's, or a loss of Constitutional rectitude. Christopher Ferrara, in Liberty, the God That Failed, offers an entirely different answer. In a counter-narrative of unique power and scope, he unmasks the order promised as a sham; the liberty guaranteed, a chimera. In his telling, the false god of a new political order--Liberty--was born in thought long before America's founding, and gained increasing devotion as it slowly amassed power during the first century of the nation's existence. Today it reveals its full might, as we bear the weight of its oppressive decrees, and experience the emptiness of the secular order it imposes upon us.

Ferrara destroys multiple myths constructed by the secular state with a relentless uncovering of truths hidden by both liberal and conservative/libertarian accounts of what has gone wrong. In this brilliant retelling of American history and political life, the author asks us to open our eyes to harsh realities, but also to the possibilities for a rightly ordered society and the true liberty that can still be ours.

Open Season [Liberty Springs, Wyoming 4] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting) Review

[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Cowboy Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, bondage, sex toys, HEA] “Those two can't share a goddamn wrench. They don't have a hope in hell of sharing a woman.” Danny Blake has never held a woman longer than it took to say good-bye, and Jack Taylor has been plagued by shallow, scheming, trophy hunters. When they both set their sights on the timid little virgin, no one believes it's going to work, least of all them. But even as Dale McCabe falls for them, they realize she needs a chance to settle into her new life before they make her theirs. Jory Raines has every reason to want his little sister as far as possible from the two ex-rangers, but he extracts a promise from them instead. Their pants are to stay on until her birthday. Dale is not impressed at having her sexual education cut short and embarks on a mission to bend them to her will before Jory declares open season on her twenty-fifth birthday. Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among the men. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
