Expensive Reader,
In February 2013 I gave a speech on the nationwide Prayer Breakfast. status a number of toes from President Obama, I warned my fellow voters of the hazards dealing with our state and referred to as for a go back to the rules that made the United States great.
Many american citizens heard and spoke back, yet our nation’s decline has persevered. this present day the risk is larger than ever ahead of, and i've by no means shared a extra pressing message than I do now.
Our becoming debt and deteriorating morals have pushed us faraway from the founders’ motive. We’ve made little or no growth in simple schooling. Obamacare threatens our health and wellbeing, liberty, and fiscal destiny. Media elitism and political correctness are out of control.
Worst of all, we appear to have misplaced our skill to debate very important matters lightly and respectfully despite get together association or different adjustments. As a physician instead of a political candidate, I care approximately what works, no longer even if a person has an (R) or a (D) after his or her identify. we need to come jointly to resolve our problems.
Knowing that the way forward for my grandchildren is in jeopardy due to reckless spending, godless executive, and mean-spirited makes an attempt to silence critics left me no selection yet to write down this e-book. i've got endeavored to suggest a street out of our decline, beautiful to each American’s decency and customary sense.
If every one people sits again and expects another individual to do so, it is going to quickly be too overdue. yet along with your support, I firmly think that the United States may well once more be “one kingdom less than God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Sincerely,
Ben Carson

Yet for the staunchly Catholic Spanish crown, driving the French heretics from La Florida was not just a geopolitical necessity but a sacred cause—one that would be undertaken, like those earlier raids by the cutthroat dissenter Jacques de Sores, amid a mood of homicidal reli gious fervor. the clash nearly came at once. If the winds had been friendly, Man rique de Rojas might have made it to the mouth of the Saint Johns just as the French were arriving.
So devastated was Cuba’s first capital that it never fully recov ered and was soon overshadowed in importance by Havana. ” But at least Le Clerc, who may have been Catholic himself, spared the local church. With the arrival of Jacques de Sores in Cuba the following year, Europe’s religious carnage began to spread to the New World. Sores saw himself as a Protestant avenger, a scourge against the false church. So deep was his hatred of Catholics that decades later, when he captured a Portuguese ship en route to Brazil with forty Jesuit mission aries on board, he ordered them thrown into the sea dead or alive, along with their holy images, books, and relics.
It is true that the historian and naturalist Gonzálo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés left an extensive, if crude, pictorial record of his travels in the New World, but even he conceded that he lacked artistic talent and training. And while Spanish authorities regularly asked explorers to bring back information on native 12 PA I N T E R I N A S AVA G E L A N D customs, “no request seems to have been made for drawings,” observed the historians Paul Hulton and David Beers Quinn. The first important European painter in Mexico, Simón Pereyns, did not arrive in the New World until two years after Le Moyne, and, once there, he painted the same things that he would have painted in Spain: religious scenes and portraits of his countrymen.
