Don't look now, but Americans are "Immoral, Fat, Lazy, Stupid."

That's the title of Chapter 1 of veteran newspaper editor Joseph Farah's new book, "Taking America Back: A Radical Plan to Revive Freedom, Morality and Justice" (WND Books).

"I love America," Farah stresses from the start. "I love the spacious skies. I love the amber waves of grain, the purple mountains' majesty, and the fruited plains. But what I love most about America is the God-breathed revolutionary spirit that led its founders to risk everything in a desperate fight for freedom and a noble effort to write the greatest Constitution the world has ever known.

"However, something dreadful has happened to that spirit," he says. "It's gone."

Not everybody is without spirit, says Farah, former editor of the Sacramento (Calif.) Union, among other newspapers, who has since founded WorldNetDaily.com, the Internet's largest independent news site. But apparently the vast majority of Americans are clueless about it.
