Introduction: I am a proud American who honorably served his country selflessly for twenty years as a Marine Mustang Officer. Although I am a registered democrat, I decided not to vote for President Obama because I had numerous concerns and/or unanswered questions regarding his lack of executive experience and seemingly shady background, to include his association with radical individuals and/or organizations (tell me who you hang around with and I’ll tell you who you are), which were revealed during the process of conducting my own extensive research and/or investigation into each Presidential candidate’s personal, professional and political background with the intent of determining who they were, where they came from and, most important, what they stood for, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my ballot.

I.This DVD is shocking, yet inspirational documentary that takes you on a journey…from Christopher Columbus to Jamestown…from Valley Forge to the Constitutional Convention…from the Civil War to the Industrial Revolution…from the First World War to the Stock Market Crash…from FDR to the present – You Decide:
A NATION ADRIFT “A Chronicle of America’s Providential Heritage” Starring: By Tom Kane Director–Brian Barkley-Initially Released it on December 12, 1994:
The following are Amazon.Com Editorial and Customer Reviews relating to this documentary:
Editorial Reviews:
Peter Marshall, Author and Historian: A NATION ADRIFT is an excellent video presentation of the moral and spiritual crisis in America and the urgent necessity of recovering the truth about America’s Christian heritage and God’s plan for our nation. It is a call to action for America’s Christians for pleading with God to bring a revival before it is too late.”
Howard Phillips, Chairman U.S. Taxpayers Alliance: “A NATION ADRIFT offers a perspective on the Christian premises of American liberty which has been obscured for too many years in the government schools at all levels. I am confident that, if every American took the time to view A NATION ADRIFT, it would have a history-changing impact on our nation’s course.”
Marlin Maddoux, Radio Talk Show Host: “I’m always looking for videos to use to help tell Americans what is truth or fact in this country and A NATION ADRIFT is one of the finest that’s ever been produced…the finest in content and the finest in technical quality. You need to get A NATION ADRIFT for you and your family, children, grandchildren, church, youth group, and it will help you counteract some of the revisionist history that’s being taught in the schools and colleges of the United States.”
Dale Mason, Gospel Communications: “Since the Christian basis of so much of American history has been deleted or rewritten, A NATION ADRIFT is an answer to our yearnings! Though rich with a great number and variety of visuals, the video’s strongest point is that, in only 90 minutes, a viewer can see and hear enough new and significant information to all but obviate the need to even take a U.S. history class! Every American should see this video because it contains information that will probably never again be presented in the secular classrooms of this “nation adrift.”
Don Wildmon, President, American Family Association: “A NATION ADRIFT should be viewed in churches, homes, and schools across the nation. This video illustrates how the forces of humanism have attacked America’s foundation of faith.”
Jim Woodall, Vice President, Concerned Women For America: “A NATION ADRIFT is an excellent video for anyone wanting to know the truth about the rich history and heritage of this nation.”
D. James Kennedy, Ph.D., Coral Ridge Ministries: “This video has a vital and timely message for Americans. With its excellent production techniques, I expect it to have a major impact on audiences wherever it is shown.”
From the Producer: “This is an excellent video for anyone wanting to know the truth about the rich history and heritage of this nation.”
Customer Reviews:
“A Must see for any and all Americans”, December 25, 2000-By Robert J. Anglin (Hanscom AFB, MA): “This is a real eye opener. You will feel outraged and saddened by what has slowly happened to this country. You will feel inspired to fight the good fight in order to not lose any more ground to the liberals in our country. You will get an insight to the US Court systems and how their controversial decisions have slowly eroded our freedoms and challenge the very fabric that this great nation was founded upon.”
“Understanding Our National Roots”, March 9, 2001-By Dave Cook (Independence, MO): I grew up in Independence, Missouri the “show me state”. When I was in Junior high and we were studying about World War II and the atom bomb, from my history class I looked out the window to see Harry S. Truman walking to city hall to vote with a secrete serviceman by his side. But I learned more American History from NATION ADRIFT than I did in high school and college. Plus, I saw things that are rarely mentioned now, perhaps because we are all trying to be so politically correct that we left a few things out that really happened. Seeing is believing.
“The best American Heritage video”, August 26, 2001-By Brian Barkley, producer A NATION ADRIFT (Overland Park, KS USA):”This documentary takes you on a journey…from Christopher Columbus to Jamestown…from Valley Forge to the Constitutional Convention…from the Civil War to the Industrial Revolution…from World War I to the Stock Market Crash…from FDR to the present. For as Thomas Jefferson once asked, “Can the liberties of a nation be secure, when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” “Should be viewed by everyone across the nation.”
This new, updated DVD edition of Brian Barkley’s “A Nation Adrift” includes several all-new topics, including “gay rights” and abortion, and concludes with a stirring tribute to President Ronald Reagan!
Product Description:
This documentary takes you on a journey…from Christopher Columbus to Jamestown…from Valley Forge to the Constitutional Convention…from the Civil War to the Industrial Revolution…from the First World War to the Stock Market Crash…from FDR to the present.
Our journey will give a basic grasp of God’s sovereign hand behind the history of our nation, which our founding fathers so clearly understood. The result of this journey will give us a better understanding of where America is today, how she arrived here, and where she must turn at this critical hour. For as Thomas Jefferson once asked, “Can the liberties of a nation be secure, when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”
