by Jeff Flake
First published 2017
Jeff Flake believes conservative principles offer the best path forward for America. He champions limited government, human initiative, and ideas tested by time. But Flake watches his Republican Party lose its way. The party embraces nationalism, populism, and xenophobia under Trump's influence. Republicans prioritize power over persuasion and party over country. They blame others instead of accomplishing real goals. Flake sees institutions crumbling and values compromised while politicians on both sides choose destruction over building. He argues America represents more than mere transactions. The nation embodies ideas and values that transcend political fashion and personality cults. Flake calls for conservatives to return to rigorous, fact-based arguments that originally defined their movement. The stakes are too high for silence and compliance. This book represents his stand for conservative conscience over partisan loyalty.
