For many years, a majority of Americans have believed that their nation is heading in the wrong direction. We should be asking ourselves: what’s gone wrong in America and how can it be set right? In WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST Dr. Schmookler – a Harvard grad, UC Berkeley/Graduate Theological Union Ph.D., who has served as a radio talk show host, and run for congress – provides an illuminating answer to those questions. He offers compelling evidence that we are headed in a direction where the many are exploited by the few, where lies defeat the truth, and where democracy is disappearing. He shows that the response from liberals is woefully weak -- wholly inadequate to protect the nation – and stems from blindness to the depth of the threat. WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST issues a call to action and strategy that begins with addressing the blind spots in our worldview. Dr. Schmookler shows clearly the nature of the force that has taken over the Right and – drawing on other historical instances of rising destructive forces, from the coming of the American Civil War to the Nazi regime in Germany – how such forces wreak havoc on civilized societies. Meeting this urgent challenge successfully, Dr. Schmookler argues, must begin with understanding WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST.
