"It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that get us into
trouble," nineteenth-century humorist Josh Billings remarked. "It’s
the things we know that just ain’t so."
In this bold New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author and
talk-radio host Michael Medved zeroes in on ten of the biggest
fallacies that millions of Americans believe about our country–in
spite of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.
The Big Lies exposed and dissected include:
? America was founded on genocide against Native Americans.
? The United States is uniquely guilty for the crime of slavery
and built its wealth on stolen African labor.
? Aggressive governmental programs offer the only remedy for
economic downturns and poverty.
? The Founders intended a secular, not Christian, nation.
Each of the ten lies is a grotesque, propagandistic
misrepresentation of the historical record. Medved’s witty,
well-documented rebuttal supplies the ammunition necessary to fire
back the next time somebody tries to recycle destructive
distortions about our nation.
