Monthly bill Moyers on America today:
“Within the first ten years of the twenty-first century the storyline that becomes America’s dominant narrative will shape our collective creativeness and our politics for some time to come. Inside the searching of our own souls demanded by this problem . . . kindred spirits over the country must confront the most important liberal failing of the existing time: the failing to embrace a moral vision of America based on the transcendent trust that human beings are more than the amount of their materials appetites, our country is more than an economic machine, and liberty is not certificate but responsibility—the gift idea we have received and the legacy we should bequeath.
“Although our sojourn in life is simple, we are over a great journey. For those who came before us and for individuals who follow, our moral, political, and religious work to be sure that this country, which was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that are equivalent under regulations, is in good practical our watch.”
—from “For America’s Sake”
People know Monthly bill Moyers largely from his many years of path-breaking journalism on television set. But he is also one of America’s most sought-after public speakers. His performances sketch sell-out crowds across the country and are among the most reproduced on the net. “And one reason,” writes observed journalist Monthly bill McKibben, “is the fact Moyers pulls no punches. His understanding of America’s background reaches least as profound as his understanding of Christian traditions, which can be an crucial part of his history . . . With his legs tightly planted in the deepest American practices, Monthly bill Moyers is assisting to keep alive an oratorical traditions that is fading after two centuries. Trained by his job in broadcasting, he creates for the ear canal, his cadences and his repetitions timed to bring an audience to full realization of its role and its vitality.”
And that is the message of this e book. Moyers on Democracy collects many of Monthly bill Moyers’s most moving statements to hook up the dots on what's happening to our country—the twinned growth of private prosperity and public squalor, the assault on our Constitution, the undermining of the electoral process, the accelerating category war against normal (and vulnerable) Us citizens inherent in the growth of economic inequality, the hazards of imperial executive, the assault on the independence of the press, the despoiling of the earth we share as our common surprise—also to rekindle the audience’s conviction that “the gravediggers of democracy won't have the final word.” Richly insightful and alive with a brutal, abiding love for our country, Moyers on Democracy is vital reading in this fateful presidential time.
