I find it hard to believe that someone can be so self-serving and ignorant as to write something this blatantly racist.  As a member Arkansas House of Representatives, you should be ashamed.  May the voters in your district deliver your pink-slip as soon as possible.

The only probably isn't with the book--its us. Unfortunately the passive spirit is broken by need. As long as someone thinks they are ok-well then- they are ok.

The reviews above are a perfect example of why we need stong Democratic leadership. The Republicans were in power for 12 years and look where we are. Spent money like drunken sailors made Govt bigger than it has ever been got us in this terrible war and all they can say is the Rham is a bad guy. Too bad they did not do a darn thing but give us talk of gay marriage and partial birth abortion. Move over little Timmy there is a new sherriff in town-

It's bad enough that any fool can vote without having self-righteous and silly charlatans getting the masses all worked up. American populist movements have always been plagued by nativism, intolerance, and blind  conviction in their moral superiority. Go read Theodore Lowi and figure out  how the American political process really works. You may not get the cheap  thrill of smug moral correctness - if fact, you really be depressed to find  out just how malaised the system really is. And you'll also be better able  to have an intelligent conversation rather than spouting the same old  canned psuedo-philosophy.

While some heavy reading for sure, this is an important book to se how we as a country have gotten into the mess we are in today. Progressives are on both sides of the isle have and still exist, and both sides have contributed to our current situation. One thing is clear Progressives are not the road map to solving any of the problems we face today.......in short Progressives are the problem.

These people understand the small picture, but fail to realize that their Government is doing this to keep them in control.  While the individual districts focus only on their citizens individual part to play, the Government quells allows only small instigated riots but keeps the districts from uniting together against the Government. This is sort of how the Liberal elite today is pitting races against each other, as well as local police in a them vs. us mentality.  While we think we are fighting for justice and against our true enemy, our Government waits, till the turmoil gets out-of- hand enough to clamp down with marital law and suspension of our Representative Republic under a Constitution.  Some of their other tools besides ethnic divisiveness and local government, are class, economic, religion, as well as other lesser tools,  Similar but somewhat different methods of turmoil and strife is being Engineered in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the rest of the Americas.  Global Martial Law and control is the ultimate goal.  Then the Elite will form the Totalitarian World Government where they are our Masters and we are their permanent Slaves that can be used for anything as they see fit They will win because turmoil and strife have always been with us.  We have never learned to unite in peace together, so the tyranny will come.and with that the never ending wars that keep us pulled apart. We All Are Playing Our Own Version Of The Hunger Games!

Of course we did not learn about our true history in the public school system. That is why we have the unqualified in government and in the White House. Progressives,liberals,and atheists,did their job well.

The only things that seperates the good folk of the US from the battling bro's of Northern Ireland is the seperation of church and state.

Dear Lord please protect us from these your hateful followers.

The Brits were a little stupid about "queer" men.  They've gotten a little smarter now just as we have here.  No wakes up on a Tuesday and says, "I think I'll be gay" or "I think I'll be 'straight'".  You're one or the other and laws won't change that!

Thank-you SHARYL ATTKISSON for stepping up and speaking the truth!  GOOD ON YOU FOR GETTING THE WORD OUT THERE!  In my research I have noticed that the majority of Americans feel the same way, frustrated they don't have a voice or visibly anyone standing up for America's core belief structure, much less obeying the laws that have long been in place.  Unfortunate for the early corruption in the primaries, followed by lies, that got this president elected!  The lies and corruption...Familiarity continues to breed contempt...

Did you know that there was a plan for occupying Iraq? This plan was hatched in 1998. But President Bush ignored it because the neocon cabal told him to. Mistake after mistake was made and our soldiers have paid the price, as well as our taxpayers. Eight billion dollars is unaccounted for in the reconstruction efforts. But, our media cannot be critical of the president. We're in a time of war, right?

Republicans who support this president, you have no credibility. If it had been a Democrat who misled the public to start a war, a Democrat who did not know about the different Iraqi factions, a Democrat who was at the helm when 9-11 came down, a Democrat who OKed violating the Geneva Convention and a Democrat who sent our kids off to die as an "experiment," you would be calling for his impeachment.

To you, being  Republican is a religion - a religion that is anti-intellect and entirely in the realm of faith over reason. And your hatred of the enemy (Democrats) has clouded your judgement and any shred of reasoning capability you once held.

No wonder you hate a book that basically says your worship of President Bush is contrary to facts. Someday, you will grow up and become less emotional and more rational. You might even become an ex-Republican like me!

Never, in my life, have I seen a more arrogant politician, and gang.  They ignore the will of people that "elected" Mr. O, ignore laws, The Constitution,
existing laws, and literally ram their will right through that wall, called Checks and Balances (of which there are none left).  I have kept an eye on all the elections, appointments, etc. since I was 12.  I am now in my 60's, so that is 50 years I have monitored the elections and their outcomes.  I don't know what has happened, but Christians are under attack, muslims are allowed to say and do pretty much anything, including honor killings, with impunity.  Mr. O forbids prayer for the Day of Prayer, and then allows hundreds of muslims at the White House to pray.  Where are we?  Is this an alternate universe?  Isn't this the United States of America?

Where is the outrage?  Where is the demand for justice?  Our police officers are told to ignore existing laws, our military is overextended and fatigued.  We need a Commander in Chief that will obey existing laws, not make up new ones to suit his current rant.

Dr. Sowell is right.  There is so much to love about our southern culture...the manners, the friendliness, yes ma'am and no sir, and our love of individual liberty.  But, the downside is the willingness to fight at a sign of disrespect.  Our lack of importance to education is all too apparent.  I think Dr. Sowell does not understand that the congregating in small areas of this culture can be detrimental to everyone.  Spreading it out as in rural areas makes this much less of a problem.  The liberals who excuse this behavior are not being tolerant, but instead are demonstrating a condesending view of people that they themselves segregate from because of that behavior.

Olasky may be the editor of the World, but he is either ignorant of history or what it means to be a Christian. Jackson was one of the most imoral presidents in American history. His actions towards Native Americans  is deplorable. No man responsible for such atrosities is either a Christian  or moral in my book. God save our nation from such leaders. While men such  as Clinton are morally reprehensible, they are not responsible for the  supression of an entire race of people. Perhaps Christianity and our nation  would be beter served by a morality that reflected the teachings of Christ.  A morality that values all humanity. Christ died for all mankind, not just  white Europeans. Needless to say what Olasky views as Christian and moral  is far from the biblical standard.

I too for some years now have wondered where the staunch STATESMEN of the greatest
country in the history of the world have gone! The Sam Ervin's, Ronald Reagan's,
Everett McKinley Dirksen's were men with fortitude and most of all HONESTY. All we
have left now are lieing, cheating damnsble politicians with no guts in both parties. It is time for a good ole House (Senate) cleaning. We have become too
complacent not only in governmen but our daily lives. Yes, Mr. Iacocoa I have the
same nauseous feeling.

Of course the parties are becoming too extreme.  But, is that really the fault of a few political leaders or is it due to the money of lobbyists who are taking control from the general public.  I believe that Whitman's arguments are sound; not only for politics but for any group working together for a common goal.  You must come together and compromise in order to get the best possible for the group.  We cannot let power hungry players make the choices because they will end up moving the group to the extreme.  I also thought that Whitman had some interesting ideas on how to get more women and minorities into politics.  We need to make sure that our government more closely represents the gender and race of America as a whole.
