Publisher's summary

What is FLINT? It's what makes America strong. We live in a culture that often dismisses and ridicules conservative values. By the time liberal professors, the news media, and Hollywood get through with them, many young Americans are convinced "conservative" means extremist and intolerant. It's a distortion that endangers America's future.

Bill Bennett and coauthor John Cribb explain what conservatism really means using five fundamental principles summarized by the word FLINT:

  • Free enterprise
  • Limited government
  • Individual liberty
  • National defense
  • Traditional values

America the Strong shows the next generation how these principles have made the United States a great nation and why they are worth preserving. It answers more than 100 questions, from "Do conservatives hate the government?" to "What's wrong with having an open border?" to "Why can't rich people pay all the taxes?"

Well Written and to the Point

I thoroughly enjoyed this straight forward approach to modern conservatism. This book is a good read for anyone who intends to understand the main points of what conservatism means and that's it's not an old persons approach to politics but rather a carefully crafted and deliberate approach to issues of the current age and beyond.
