Not\u003ci\u003e entirely\u003c\/i\u003e of course. Millions of Americans still embrace truth as much as humanly possible. But lies have indeed always been a fundamental part of the story of America. The earliest lie perhaps, being the first sentence of the second paragraph of the US Declaration of Independence: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnother lie we tell ourselves is displayed on our Statue of Liberty: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eGive me your tired, your poor, \u003cbr\u003eYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free, \u003cbr\u003eThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.\u003cbr\u003eSend these, the homeless, tempest-tosst to me, \u003cbr\u003eI lift my lamp beside the golden door!\u003c\/i\u003e\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLofty words. We all learned to recite them in grade school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When one looks closely without bias at Americans and American history, one is confronted with the reality that\u003ci\u003eAmerica has never been completely behind these lofty words\u003c\/i\u003e. Many Americans have always sought to marginalize those within our society who looked or acted different, and deprive them of their alleged right to: \"\u003ci\u003eLife, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness\". \u003c\/i\u003eEven as those words in the declaration of independence were being written, vast numbers of American citizens of color were embedded in slavery. Few at the time likely thought those words of equality applied to women or black people. That was just a given. No one other than white, land-owning men, were even allowed to \u003ci\u003eparticipate\u003c\/i\u003e in the creation of our nation. And despite the fact that America was established by mostly white European immigrants, first-generation immigrants have always had a very tough time integrating themselves into American society and being completely accepted regardless of their color. Racial and social bias has always been \u003ci\u003ethe norm\u003c\/i\u003e in America, \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003ethe exception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e A Nation of Liars\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to confront these uncomfortable truths for the purpose of motivating society to make the hard choices that may move us in the direction of complying with some of the lofty ideals we all grew up believing in. These are trying times and those choices will face great resistance from those who do not share these ideals. But we are involved in a struggle for our national identity and this is our opportunity to stand up for what we believe or surrender to the forces of darkness. The choice is ours. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is \u003ci\u003eV\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eolume\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e 2\u003c\/i\u003e of \"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e2025- The Rise of American Fascism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael James Jaquish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798249310462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Michael James Jaquish","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997498224895,"sku":"9798249310462","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nation-of-liars-michael-james-jaquish-9798249310462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
