Triumph of an Idea Roy Nolan Shepherd

The Triumph of an Idea is a look at the founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the epistemological perspective of a non-secular understanding of the nature of the human condition. With this as a springboard in which to examine the current economic, cultural, and political paradigm, the author presents progressivism as the anchor of prejudice within the broader framework of dialectic materialism and philosophical pragmatism; the mechanism by which America has been manipulated into abandoning Truth as it was understood in the minds of its Founders. The author has included his own original intellectual contribution to the debate over the origins of the universe with the introduction of the principle of perpetual kinesis. This is a look at how "nothing," as an abstract idea excludes the possibility that something can exist where once there was nothing. Finally, the author introduces a New Federalist Initiative, a democratic directive to impose upon an out of control government intent upon the destruction of the pillars that have stood for so long in this, our beloved Republic. Roy Nolan Shepherd is a self-described American Watchman of Oklahoma, life-long student of presuppositional apologetics, and concerned citizen, who as one from among the many sons and daughters of liberty, has chosen to speak out against the looming destruction of America as that "Shining City on a Hill." He has crossed the great divide of America many times over in the past twenty plus years in his role as an American Trucker and the Triumph of an Idea is the result of the encouragement of those Americans he has rubbed shoulders with during those years to put his thoughts and ideas forward to say that you, as an individual, are not alone in your fears of what is happening to America.
