Summary:
It is among our most honored clichés that America is an idea and not a nation. This is false. America is definitely indisputably a country, and one which desperately must protect its interests, its borders, and its own identity.
The Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump swept nationalism to the forefront from the political issue. This is a very important thing. Nationalism is usually assumed to be always a dirty word, but it is a basis of democratic self-government and of worldwide peace.
National Review about THE SITUATION for Nationalism: How It all Made Us Powerful, United, and Free editor Rich Lowry refutes critics about left and the proper, reclaiming the term “nationalism” from those who equate it with racism, militarism and fascism. He clarifies how nationalism can be an American tradition, a thread that operates through such different market leaders as Alexander Hamilton, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther Ruler, Jr., and Ronald Reagan.
In The Case for Nationalism, Lowry explains how nationalism was central to the American Project. It fueled the American Trend and the ratification of the Constitution. It preserved the country through the Civil War. It resulted in the expansion of the American nation’s place and power, and eventually to our invaluable contribution to creating an international program of self-governing countries.
It’s time to recover a wholesome American nationalism, and especially a cultural nationalism that insists on the assimilation of immigrants which protects our background, civic rituals and traditions, which are under constant threat. At the same time in which our nation is definitely plagued by self-doubt and self-criticism, The Case for Nationalism gives a path for America to regain its nationwide self-confidence and accomplish continued greatness.
