Book Cover - Stumbling Toward Utopia
Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream
In Stumbling toward Utopia, author Tim Goeglein looks at the philosophies and policies that led to the societal earthquake of the1960s and how those philosophies and policies have led to the cataclysm America faces today. He offers a blueprint for how we can reject those philosophies and policies by returning to the core values upon which America was built: personal responsibility, respect for life, sexual restraint, and patriotism.

Kill Obamacare, Not CEOs
Since the most popular reaction to the cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been to hail the shooter as a hero, I gather that Americans really hate health insurance companies.
