Synopsis

A former nine-time congressman from Ohio and one of the most respected commentators on politics and society, John Kasich believes that traditional American values are in serious danger of being lost. Kasich asserts that this erosion of moral values can be atttributed to, among other things, disappointing leadership from elected officials, the growing lack of ethics in business and sports, religious intolerance, and mass media and popular culture. By addressing such fundamental issues as honesty, personal responsibility, integrity, and the importance of leaving the world a better place, Kasich offers both a heartfelt and straightforward solution for all Americans to finally reset our moral compass and learn to STAND FOR SOMETHING.

From AudioFile:

A conservative TV host and former U.S. Congressman sounds off about our country's downhill slide into Gomorrah. His complaints about popular music, TV, and celebrity misbehavior are shopworn but somewhat validated by his own story of determination and courage. The smugness in his reading? Maybe it's just part of the deal. Perhaps when you've been at the highest levels of political power, you can't hide the feeling that you've become smarter than other people. But the uplifting point worth hearing is that each of us has the power to express and live values that, while irritating the prevailing culture, are good for our children and our country.
