Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Karlin has described so clearly the following severe dangers to our individual freedoms: 1. The inextricable link between the ultimate fear of death and religion, and 2. The intertwining and linkage by the far religious right to politics, to the point of the "far religious right" being a racist political party, as much as it is a religion, whose ultimate goal is to turn the country into a "Theocracy," and 3. The toxic intertwining and linkage of the "far religious right" with the most wealthy corporate corruption to dominate and take control of our government and our institutions at all levels, in order to turn the country into an "Oligarchy". All of them deny the value of truth, and they are formidable enemies of our Democracy. "Power can be unbelievably corrupting and in the hands of religious fanatics (like ISIS), it can be even more so. It can corrupt to the point of inhumanity and insanity. Freedom must be universal. It must be all inclusive. Where freedom does not exist for even one person, it exists for none because even the most horrific oppressor him/herself is not truly free. Scott Howard Phillips once observed: "You can't pick and choose which types of freedom you want to defend, you must defend all of it or be against all of it." The author of this work does not tread lightly, nicely or politely on those who oppose freedom. I give no apologies to those evil bastards."
