THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE & THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER: A Patriot's Primer on the American Spirit and a Citizen's Guide to Restoring the Republic deals with the essence of America--its principles, ideals and values, its history, its future. It is politically incorrect, but Constitutionally and spiritually right. Through the two quintessential symbols of America--the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner--it discusses the fundamentals of America and their relation to the rest of the world. It regards the Declaration of Independence as a spiritual document as much as a political one. The theme of the book is "the American Spirit." The conclusion of the book is that the ideals, principles and values of America, when rightly understood and restored to full operation in our republic as intended by our Founders, can become the basis of The United States of the World.
