Hofstadter’s book was an eye opener. Somewhere in the cobwebs of my memory banks I remember reading ever so briefly about white slavery here in the British colony of America. Now a days, all one hears about is the black slavery. Any way you put it, slavery is the pits for those who are enslaved no matter what color or sex. I liked the refreshing syle he put into the facts. Recommended reading for anyone interested in truth about our heritage.
Paul’s book is an eye opener for the Conservative Libertarian.To bad the media and the political parties shut him up. He has a lot of truth written in those chapters. My liberal leaning neighbor has the book now and is appalled by what the media didn’t want the public to know. He voted for Obama and is now almost regretting it. But, says he, the Republicans didn’t offer anyone worth voting for.
Obamites voted for change and the change they are getting isn’t what America needs…. but the people have voted. They’ll get what they didn’t want and the media will support the policies until the day they themselves are censored. Then it will be too late.
I agree. Hofstadter’s book really was good. It was a great review for me as I didn’t really come across anything I hadn’t already learned. Too bad he died before completing what was supposed to be part 2 of that work.
You should have the neighbor listen to Neal Boortz, a syndicated radio host. He’s a Libertarian along the lines of Ron Paul. Has a few more things I agree with than Paul, but the Libertarian bent towards anarchy is too much to swallow.
