systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works. 7
So, I ask the rising generationâAmericaâs younger peopleâwhat do you choose for yourself and future generations? Do you choose liberty or tyranny? And what do you intend to do about it?
A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
----
AS IN ALL MY books, I wish to acknowledge how grateful and appreciative I am of my wonderful family. Their encouragement and selflessness gave me the inspiration to spend more than a year of weekends and nights writing this book at the dining room table.
As in the past, thank you to my dear colleagues and friendsâEric Christensen, Richard Hutchison, Michael OâNeill, and Matthew Forysâfor their acuity and excellent research assistance; my peerless editor, Mitchell Ivers, who has wisely advised me on five books; and my faithful publisher, Louise Burke, for her enthusiastic support of my book projects. And to my treasured book readers and radio listenersâthank you for your loyalty and patriotism over many years.
Let us all acknowledge that for the reasons set forth in this book, among others, there should be no doubt that we live in perilous times. But for younger people and generations unborn, the challenges are and will be even more formidable, with dire consequences, if the ruling generation does not step up and the rising generation does not wake up. As President Reagan famously declared, âFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.â 1
