Denationalization and Other Essays

Denationalization and Other Essays

F. Drake Halloway
3/5 ( ratings)
Denationalization and Other Essays is a series of writings each dealing with a different issue created by the movement of the United States of America towards centralized governance. It is a work of historical perspective and comparative history which challenges the conventional wisdom that the creation of central authority under the hand of the electorate is fully in agreement with the United States Constitution. It is purposefully executed to provoke the reader into countering each position presented.

While they will recognize all of the cited history, readers will not necessarily find this an easy read. Writings which challenge conditioned responses and the status quo rarely are. The 22 essays owe more to Martin Luther’s 95 Theses than to any modern writings. Instead of challenging the Catholic Church, a challenge to the neo-religion of American nationalism is offered. The Bible is replaced by the Constitution. Indulgences are replaced by modern subsidies and cronyism. The cross is replaced by the the flag. The sacrament of penance is replaced by the Pledge of Allegiance. Saint Peter's church is replaced by presidential libraries. Protestantism is replaced by Denationalization.
