"In Keeping Our Republic, Parks and Corbin sketch the important things that any people must do to be worthy of freedom. This book should be thought of as lessons in civic liberal education 101. The book's counsels are hard. But they are inescapable, essential, and written elegantly. --Angelo M. Codevilla Professor Emeritus Boston University author of The Ruling Class "Keeping Our Republic is an essential work, published at a moment of high political peril. It is thrilling to read. Thomas Paine's Common Sense, which precipitated the American Revolution, had two elements. First, an indictment and demonstration of the moral indefensibility of monarchy. Second, a clear, compelling, and practical statement of axioms with which the colonies could, with high confidence, claim and establish Independence and create republican governance, our most fundamental constitutional right. Angelo Codevilla has replicated the first part of Paine's accomplishment on behalf of the new American Revolution with his irrefutable indictment of our new self-made 'political nobility' in The Ruling Class. Parks and Corbin here provide the second, equally essential, component, laying out lucidly and compellingly the axioms by which we can restore America to its 'small r' republican roots: Equality; Responsibility; Honor; Justice; Lawfulness; Prudence. The Ruling Class and Keeping Our Republic, taken together, are Common Sense of the new American Revolution. Buy copies for every conservative you know. They will thank you and, for helping to ordain the blessings of liberty at this critical time, so will America's posterity!" --Ralph Benko author of The Websters' Dictionary: How to Use the Web to Transform the World
