Secret Immorality Exposed
By
Roger Behra
A new book recently published is going to grab plenty of attention. "One Nation Under Sex," by Larry Flynt and David Eisenbach, exposes the immoral tendencies and behavior of some very famous historical Americans. Because of the historical times, the places, and the positions occupied by the famous persons, the famous persons would not at all be suspected of immoral behavior. It can be assumed that historian and Professor David Eisenbach spent considerable time and effort researching the information one reads in the book.
Some of the very famous names mentioned in the book in regards to alleged sexual misbehavior are Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Buchanan, Franklin Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Bobby Kennedy, Mary Jo Kopechne, Abraham Lincoln, and J. Edgar Hoover. This is an impressive list of famous people that includes several past American presidents. The sexual indiscretions are varied and numerous.
According to Eisenbach, the goal of the book is not to highlight the types of immoral sexual behavior related to the individual, although they are mentioned, but to relate how the immorality effected their decisions and governing and to let the readers know how widespread immorality has been down through American history from the very beginning.
The book is an eye-opener. It gives the impression that immoral behavior is to be expected and not all that bad. That is a wrong impression. Immoral behavior is wrong at any time by anyone and especially by those who are in positions of great trust. It is no wonder that the American culture is deep in the pit of very grave immoral cultural behavior, which America will never recover unless a very great miracle happens.
