Where Do Conservatives and Liberals Come From?: And What Ever Happened to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Part One

by Thomas Mullen

Americans have tried electing Republicans. They've tried electing Democrats. They've tried electing both.

Nothing has worked. The economy continues to weaken, civil unrest is smoldering and the world is falling apart.

Americans of all political persuasions say they believe in the “American Creed,” the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence that we are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.

But is the Creed conservative, liberal or neither? And why do American voters get the same government no matter which party they elect?

This book will answer those questions. The results are going to surprise you.

There is some interesting historical insights as to where the modern political thinking comes from. But its real advantage is showing that there is actually a better explanation of humanity's roots and how humans have and do behave. And we have some wonderful men--John Locke among them--to thank for these insights.
