The American Experiment: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Will it Survive or Fizzle Out into the Dustbin of History?

by Randall E. Rush

Overview

This book sets out the history of "The American Experiment" in self-government focusing on its original legal documents, The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. It discusses how and why such a 'Total Heresy' as self-government ever arose and has survived for nearly 250 years. One focus is on the original genius of the 'Separation of Powers' that has become so muddled since the Framers created the Constitution. The horror of the World Wars and key aspects of the Presidents from Eisenhower through Carter and the two Bushes are summarized. Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Obama, and Trump are discussed in increasing levels of detail.

The failures of the Federal Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation beginning with the Enron prosecution are summarized. The issues of the appointment of Supreme Court Justices, immigration, and the rise of socialism/communism in America are discussed in some detail. The failed bloodless coup d'etat and impeachment attempts to remove President Trump from office are discussed in depth as are the climate change debate and the Green New Deal. The geopolitical world from Europe, to Russia, the Middle East, China and North Korea are discussed as they are directly affecting future American freedom. One of the last chapters discusses why western man and specifically America arrived at the pinnacle of civilization while others did not. Finally, the author closes with, "The Only Thing That Matters at the End of the Trail" – a summary of his wishes for not only his descendants, but all the World.

About the Author

Randall Rush was raised in rural northeast Alabama on a dirt road, picking cotton by hand and plowing behind a mule. Because of this upbringing, not in spite of it, he graduated college with a degree in Chemical Engineering and later completed law school. He worked for over 40 years in the Research and Engineering departments of The Southern Company, at the time the largest electric power company in America. His career included leading the commercial demonstration of advanced environmental control and power generation technologies.

This book began as a labor of love to his current and future relatives to explain the birth, beauty and fragility of “The American Experiment” – the only time in history when humans have successfully governed themselves. It’s now available to his fellow citizens in hopes that they will pass its lessons on to their descendants. As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction.” The dustbin of history stands ready to receive America if we allow it to.
