Bending Your Ear—A Collection of Essays on the Issues of Our Times
Bending Your Ear—A Collection of Essays on the Issues of Our Times delves into the political issues facing America at a crucial moment in this country’s history, where we find ourselves struggling with our national identity and the direction in which we are headed. We have been bombarded with contradictory and confusing messages by the political and media classes to the point where we have collectively lost our way, forgotten our history, and lost touch with what it actually means to be an American. We need to be reminded that “we the people” have the ability to think for ourselves, and recapture all that has made this country the greatest country the world has ever known.
Drew Nickell pulls no punches with regards to both the sociological and political states in which we find ourselves. He assesses the current events of American politics and offers solutions, at a critical time when we decide which direction we will take in the 2016 general election. Now is the time for anyone who cares deeply about America, to read what is contained in Bending Your Ear—a Collection of Essays on the Issues of Our Times.
