Robbins is a critic for USA Today, Senior Fellow for National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council and a member of the advisory council to the National Civil War Museum. Formerly, he was an award-winning editorial novelist at the Washington Times, prof at the National Defense University, and special aide in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. </div> <div>  </div> <div>Dr. Robbins maintains a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

The" American Taliban" has set out to destroy our home countries. James Robbins is not content to sit by and be allowed to happen. The sacrilege of American statues and American record should be enough to alert all thinking and dedicated Americans( of all scoots and plazas of countries of origin) to the dangers of culture eradication. Sadly, the left's frightening attack on American biography has not notified enough Americans. Robbins book, Erasing America, is a wake-up call .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>The destruction of America's past is the greatest threat to her future. And is not merely have the criminal thinkers of the desroyers criticized the past, they have invented its replacement--the idea that America was never great, never righteous, never a saving Grace to a troubled and </div> <div>dangerous life .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins book is not only a clear description of the lunacy of the American left and the rabble it subscribes, it is a call to appendages. No civilization has ever braved a successful eradication of the course of history. And America, founded on an idea, that of personal freedoms, is perhaps more susceptible than any nation in history .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Read this record and get angry. Recognize how the extinction of a effigy of a civil struggle superstar in Dallas is a threat to your American way of life in Duluth or Wichita .</ div> <div> <div>Each individual happen is distressing but seemingly innocuous until you read the immense sweep of what is happening in this country. And James Robbins plucks the various strands together had demonstrated that the eroding is FAR from innocuous, and our home countries is slowly losing its name and is careening towards a virtual empty-headed shell of name politics with no uniting narrative. From the death of our bronzes, the kneeling of our football players, the increases of perpetual hostile and necessitating "groups", and the vacuum-clean of communals and autobiography in our classrooms, we are reminded that there is a hugely impairing undertow at work and that we need to recognize the primary theme and greeting before "its too late" .</ div> <div>It was a big wake up call to me, with two young men for sons, to take the time to sit around the dinner table, explain the Constitution and the blood, sweat and ruptures that went into it, the painful lessons of the Civil War and why we shouldn't kill our recognition of those, and why the often derided and maligned pattern of honoring our flag and learning communals in a structured room are critical to the future of this large experiment .</ div> <div>Highly recommend this brilliant book which copes, in an impeccably researched way, to take so many disparate occurrences, pull them together, and lay out a speciman of why they model a picture of a unusually frightening, barren future. And supplies a large writ delineate of the itinerary forwards that we should all be contemplating to enshrine the good in its own country, and to pass it on intact to our future generations. Vanishing on my Christmas gift-giving roster for several people .</ div> </div> <div> <div>I was fortunate to receive cash advances fake of James S. Robbins' diary "Erasing America" recently and can mood without reservation that this is a creation that everyone in America needs to read if you cost our history, our culture and our future .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins methodically and with his signature attention to detail foregrounds the efforts being made by the left/ progressives/ socialists in America to reshape what America entails, to rewrite the history books, to redefine everything across the broad spectrum of American civilization and biography to wonder what the hell is believe this country should be- solely an unexceptional country founded by "... deeply shortcoming men who have been falsely promoted as protagonists ." Rather, Robbins impel the argument that" Americans are the superintendents of a splendid gift of ordered liberty, but to pass it on to our children, "were supposed to" thought the past with understanding, the present with grateful, and the future with hope, continuing what Lincoln called  " the mystic chords of recall, elongating from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this wide-ranging tract ."</ div> <div>  </div> <div>England's Oliver Cromwell is famously said to have instructed his portraitist to include everything in his likeness, "Warts and all." Undoubtedly, that was the only road to record the full measure of his being .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins' points out a same coming needs to be with America, that an acknowledgment and understood it where we are and where we will go is absolutely is highly dependent on and intrinsically confined to where we came from and which is something we went through. Good bad or unimportant, "warts and all" is how we need to see ourselves .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>In today's context of phony report, name politics, the erasing of our past, and the constant reshaping of a narrative to drive a particular political object, James S. Robbins' notebook "Erasing America" is a vital and must-read for ALL Americans, of all political stripes, to ensure we is not merely remember and draw lessons from our past, but to continue to build on a" narration of confidence and insight suffer of discretion ."</ div> </div>
