Ladies and Gentlemen: Why the Survival of our Republic Depends on the Revival of Honor

by Dr. Gina Loudon , Dr. Dathan Paterno
Paperback |English |0899575277 | 9780899575278
Overview
Ladies and Gentlemen studies the history of the terms that once elevated the ideal woman and man and illuminates how the structure of Western society established and maintained the virtues. In contrast, the book demonstrates how three movements--atheism, liberalism, and radical feminism--undercut these ideals, especially in the 20th Century. Rather than a dry history lesson, readers will understand the crucial contributions of government, family, literature/media, and churches in producing a culture that either esteems or debases the best of each gender. Ladies and Gentlemen draws aggressive battle lines in today's culture war, pressing Christians and conservatives to value all people, cherish manners, humility, and graciousness, and esteem virtue above self. It directly challenges politicians and media personalities to honor and reflect a culture of honor, as well as calling all conservatives to reward public figures who exhibit these traits, while rebuking or rejecting those who do not. The book exemplifies several public figures on both ends of the political spectrum who engender the traits of the lady or gentleman, as well as several who clearly fail. Finally, Ladies and Gentlemen paints a portrait of modern civility, proving that women can be warriors without burning bras and men can be tough without smoking Marlboros on horseback. It instructs parents how to raise their own children to be ladies and gentlemen. Incorporating Biblical principles and an awareness of modern day challenges, it boosts parents' ability to navigate the murky waters of today's culture.

A national speaker, writer and commentator on local and national outlets, she is a political analyst who appears regularly on FOX News, FOX Business, and other national and international outlets. Dr. Loudon has a regular column at Townhall. com, and also contributes to FoxNews.com, Breitbart's BIG outlets, and World Net Daily.

Bill Federer calls her "The conservatives' se­cret weapon--a double-edged sword. She is adorably disarming, and masterfully brilliant-- A rising star in America's renewal." Neil Cavuto calls her the "Tea Party Titan," Andrew Breitbart called her the "official troublemaker" [for liberals], and Mark Steyn calls her "The Gold Standard" of talk radio.
