DESTINATION GREATNESS - Creating a New Americanism

• Principles, Values & Behaviors

  The hallmarks and cornerstones of the New Americanism

• The Case for a New Americanism

  DESTINATION GREATNESS lays out a compelling description of a nation that “can” – a nation that ties together generations into a “team of teams” to get us to the higher ground of Americanism

• Political Parties – The Machines of American Belief Systems

  The significant growth of party politics and the political machines that make up those parties is a double-edged sword in the New Americanism

• U.S. Constitution

  Today’s youth rarely value this exceptional document that created our nation and republic because they are not learning much about the Constitution in their schools

• The National Defense

  I describe a way to confront and overcome terrorism directed at Americans as well as the approach to a joint, combined, and allied structure to carry out this new strategy

• Cultivating our Youth

  These younger generations have one of the most important tasks in the New Americanism: practice the American leadership behaviors that will usher in sustained periods of greatness for us all

• Taking Care of Our Elderly

  There is no place for poor treatment of the elderly in the New Americanism

• Ethics

  it’s simple, really. Live by a moral code that is based on our principles and values, tell the truth, and don’t betray the values

• Spirituality

  Spirituality is the very essence of our humanity and what has made us the envy of the whole world. We cannot forsake it in the New Americanism

• Statesmanship

  We have plenty of politicians but not enough statesmen and stateswomen

• The Lost Art of Debate

  We are not teaching our youth how to disagree while still preserving the respect for each other as Americans. I show how we can fix that in the New Americanism

• Mutual Respect among Americans

  Our behaviors must become much more civil because it is the ladder on whose rungs we climb to the higher ground we call the New Americanism
