Hope for Revolution: “I tell you unequivocally that we should hope for a return to the Constitution. It is as simple and as hard as all that. For the Constitution was the instrument the Founders left us, both to govern and be governed by. Their dream returns the moment we bind ourselves to its strictures. Even the Declaration was not meant to bind us in that manner, since the Declaration declared independence. After the Revolution, our Founders labored and produced the Constitution, in order to give us a government capable of sustaining independence as well as living up to the ideals of the Declaration.“

About the Book
The United States faces the problems of ever-growing government, declining political participation, and the deterioration of moral society. It is a tumultuous and often troubling time in history. In Horse Sense for the New Millennium, author Wesley Allen Riddle offers a lens for interpreting modern political events and presents a conservative commentary on American life and politics.
A collection of previously published columns, Horse Sense for the New Millennium offers a reservoir of creative conservative approaches distinct from more common ones advocated by progressive liberals. Compiling a decade of thoughts, Riddle discusses the state of American politics and government and shows that hope for America’s future lies in returning to the nation’s founding principles and applying them to the problems facing America today. He argues that the road map for success lies in the US Constitution. Horse Sense for the New Millennium presents an articulate and passionate critique of government in modern society including government’s taking on too many roles, too many rules and regulations, and creating a nanny state that is socially and economically crippling the nation. Riddle explains the founders’ original intent and demonstrates their vision is still the key to America’s prosperity.About the Author
