The 5000 Year Leap: The 28 Great Ideas That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen
I have had this book for a long time and finally read it. I have always liked Skousen's materials and anything from the Center for Constitutional Studies. I can see why the Constitution Party (in Utah at least) has been pushing this book. It covers 28 basic principles that the Founding Fathers acknowledged in forming a new government. Many of the principles involve morality and religion, which is not a "politically correct" topic to discuss in matters of politics and government, but nevertheless, the founders did, and what they had to say about it is worth considering.
It's too bad the "major" two parties won't apply one, two, or all 28 of the principles of freedom discussed in this book in their platforms.
