a nation of sheep! by A. Napolitano --read it!


Here is a good winter read! It doesn't matter if you are left or right, there is something we all must protect and that is our Constitution and our Constitutional rights. The government is slowly eroding away our liberties and we will not get them back. I am not sure about you but I read 1984 once a year for reason, I choose not to live in that world. Here are some main points of his book...

  • Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?
  • Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?
  • What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?
  • Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?
  • Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?
  • Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?
