Great Ideas of Western Culture
The First Liberal traces the development of the Liberal tradition that began the day Jesus said, “Love Thy Neighbor”, and was continued by John Locke and Baruch Spinoza, picked up by Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence) who shared it with John Adams and James Madison (Bill of Rights) who infected Benjamin Franklin, who passed it on to Voltaire, (The Rights of Man), and it was creatively interpreted by William Gladstone, then broadly applied in the USA by FDR!
Although the pronouncements in the book are attributed to Jesus, and those “quotes” are the philosophical building blocks of this progression, the book does not deal with any reverential aspects of the subject. (It’s not about religion; it’s about politics!)
The Peace Alliance educates and inspires thousands throughout the country with the knowledge, skill and enthusiasm to become powerful citizen activists on behalf of the Department of Peace legislation.
Some other pretty good ideas:
1. How About a Secretary of Peace?
2. Put "Love Thy Neighbor" on the Money!
3. Cultural Imperialism – How it's changing the world.
(It's what made America “The Great Satan”)
