In On My Honor, Texas governor Rick Perry, through the legacy of the Boy Scouts of America, takes dead aim at the moral relativism of the secular humanist movement, indicting its corrosive impact on the culture.  Examining the left’s legal assaults on the Boy Scouts of America - which span more than 30 years - Perry offers prescient insight into the multi-faceted war, which pits the proponents of traditional American values against the radical leftist movement that seeks to tear down our social foundations.

On My Honor underscores the depth to which the culture warriors of the left will go to force their secular humanist minority view upon American society and revered American institutions.  It is a revealing look at a culture war that rages close to the surface of American life, and it is a must read for any American concerned that our society is slipping from the high moral ground of liberty to the valley of license.

About the Author

RICK PERRY, currently the governor of Texas and Presidential Candidate, wrote On My Honor to shed a bright light on the culture battles the Boy Scouts face defending America’s values.  As an Eagle Scout and the proud father of an Eagle Scout, Perry has witnessed first hand the positive impact Scouting has had in the lives of countless Gov. Perry will sign book in Woodvillefamilies.  The onslaught by the secularists, lead by the ACLU, has been relentless and has long term negative ramifications for all Americans.  This is Governor Perry’s first book.  He resides in Austin with Anita, his wife of 25 years, and his daughter, Sydney.  His son, Griffin, lives and works in Dallas.  All net proceeds from this book go directly to the Boy Scouts of America.

In 1971 embattled President Richard M. Nixon sought to use the Internal Revenue Service as a weapon to investigate and punish his “enemies.” Tapes of White House conversations reveal that Nixon wanted as Commissioner “a ruthless son-of-a-bitch that he will do what he is told; that every income tax return I want to see I see; that he will go after our enemies and not go after our friends.” Attorney General John Mitchell recommended one of his assistants, a specialist in tax law, Johnnie McKeiver Walters, for the key post.

Walters was confirmed as Commissioner of Internal Revenue in August of 1971 and served until 1973. Apparently neither Nixon nor Mitchell ever spoke with Walters to ensure he would aid them as they desired. In fact, Walters was “shocked” when White House counsel John Dean presented him with an “enemies list,” and he refused to politicize the IRS as Nixon wanted. When presidential domestic advisor John P. Ehrlichman confronted Walters about his “foot-dragging tactics” in regard to ordered audits, Walters told Secretary of the Treasury George P. Schultz that he could “have my job anytime he wanted it.” In an administration largely remembered for its abuse of power, Walters stands apart for his steadfast performance under pressure.

Do the scare tactics, deceptions and distortions of politics frustrate you? Have you grown cynical about the lack of real-issue leadership in Washington? Do you often feel as if politicians are talking down to you—that they think you’re stupid? Well, that is how politics-as-usual make Herman Cain feel. 

In They Think You’re Stupid, Herman Cain offers an action plan to help the marginalized voter find a true voice in the political process, while at the same time offering political party leaders an avenue back to the heart of American democracy—the voters. Cain identifies a new voter phenomenon occurring across the nation. Newly registered voters, young African-Americans, unhappy Democrats, and uncommitted Republicans are refusing to strongly identify with either political party. They Think You’re Stupid provides insightful analysis of the factors that have led to what he terms the “politically homeless.” While Democrats are on the road to irrelevancy, Cain believes that Republicans have an opportunity to capture the loyalty of this growing segment of America.

Herman Cain pinpoints a wide range of issues where he believes voters are unified—from the threat of terrorism to “economic slavery.” He argues that the need to see real results around these issues can motivate the politically homeless to become more engaged in the political process, and by their very presence, transform policies and politics in Washington.

Former senator Zell Miller sees Cain’s message as vital for political parties as they approach new elections, “Party leaders would do well to listen to him, all party leaders. Cain is onto something very important for our future. The kind of democracy we have enjoyed for more than two hundred years won’t survive voter apathy. When the voters’ trust is lost, so is their support. To their own demise, many politicians play the politics as usual game and continue to think of voters as mindless and willing to follow anyone because of a few well-placed jabs and sound bites. Candidates from either party who are more concerned with how the party fares will find themselves with plenty of free time on their hands.”

From the perspective of a successful businessman, They Think You’re Stupid offers hope for the disenfranchised voter and common-sense advice to the Republican Party. Cain explains, “The Republicans have a unique opportunity to dominate the political landscape for decades if they do a better job of reaching out to the party outsiders with results, rather than waiting for outsiders to reach in.” Cain sees a new day in American politics, and that day must include a voice for the “politically homeless.”

On November 5, 2002—Election Day—most Georgians were surprised to learn that they had elected their first Republican governor in 130 years, becoming the last state of the old Confederacy to break the long-time Democratic lock on the governor’s office and both houses of the state legislature. Former state senator and businessman Sonny Perdue, from the Middle Georgia town of Bonaire, defeated the well-financed incumbent governor, Roy Barnes. In the same election, Democrat Tom Murphy, the longest-serving Speaker of any state House of Representatives in the country, was defeated in his reelection bid after forty-two years in the House, the last twenty-nine of them as Speaker.

By the end of the week, four state senators switched from Democrat to Republican, giving the Grand Old Party control of a single legislative chamber for the first time since the era of post-Civil War Reconstruction. Within two more years, Georgia elected a majority of Republicans to the state House of Representatives, and they, in turn, elected the first Republican Speaker since Reconstruction. Red State Rising: Triumph of the Republican Party in Georgia tells this fascinating story.
