      Synopsis

      The two most recent presidential elections exposed a deep and expanding polarization of the American public. Unfortunately, the two major political parties aren't helping to resolve this conflict. In fact, they created the conflict and are perpetuating it. There is no serious debate within the political parties on the four moral issues that are the basis of this Culture War. They have been transformed into articles of faith. Committed Democrats will be for abortion, gun control, separation of church and state and gay marriage. Their Republican counterparts will be against all of them.

      Disarming the Culture War makes the case that a majority of Americans are not satisfied with the positions the political parties offer on these issues. A 'silent majority" of Americans are against abortion and gay marriage but are in favor of gun control and the separation of church and state. This Culture War is a divisive stalemate with serious long-term consequences, and citizens who have been silent for far too long have an obligation to speak up now. Disarming the Culture War brings a new dimension to the public dialogue-a dialogue that is necessary if we are to find our way beyond this Culture War.

      January 21, 2006: This book seems to rise from the ashes of the culture war between Republicans and Democrats. The author provides a logical, practical, refreshingly non-partisan view on four major moral issues: abortion, gun control, separation of church and state and gay marriage. He bases his arguments on facts and his own beliefs and concludes with the ?Disarming? message. Wilson challenges the reader to evaluate his/her own interpretation of the facts and individual beliefs. He emphasizes the importance of not hiding behind the platform of a political party and the obligation to think carefully through our own positions on these issues. He uses examples of personal experience and historical events to make his points. As a reader, I couldn?t help but question the wisdom of current party positions on these four issues. I didn?t agree with every conclusion of the author, but even on the points of disagreement the book made me think seriously about my position. This book provides sound independent logic for anyone who is interested in abortion, gun control, gay marriage and separation of church and state. The book will make you think. I highly recommend it.
