"Hating America: The Left's Long History of Despising (and Slowly Destroying) Our Great Country" uses the keen insights, often based on first-hand dealings with those who would tear down this country, of former five-term Congressman Tom Tancredo. From his perspective as a national and international leader on border and security issues, the former history teacher and former U.S. Department of Education official deconstructs faulty conclusions and false premises by the various shades of radicals in each succeeding chapter. Tancredo, bolstered by the expertise and research of former longtime journalist, public relations practitioner and political "junkie" Phil Ross, sets the stage of attack by debunking the fallacious theories, piece by piece. Fueled by incredible minutiae about the most notorious anti-American critics, both current and from throughout history - who unbelievably consider themselves the ultimate patriots - the book makes a compelling case to debunk all of them. The fearless Tancredo, rarely a stranger to controversy when the truth is on the line, relates many never-before-published recollections and recountings. Included are some of his most-notable moments in face-to-face debates and confrontations with left-wing radicals of all stripes. Along the way, Tancredo not only deconstructs the anti-patriots, but offers viable solutions to counter them. The book is designed to illustrate how America is being literally destroyed to the core of its collective soul, as these reckless, dangerous radicals gradually but forcefully continue to gain a foothold on the American psyche. "Hating America" emerges as an extremely timely read, helping clarify why this radicalism must be stopped in its tracks as soon as possible. It is important that, to better grasp what is happening to our republic, the public must understand the historical pattern of how the Left always has despised this country by slowly destroying it.
