The Voice of Liberty

I have just finished reading Ameritopia. It is quite simply one of the best books on political theory I have ever read. It is the kind of book I hoped Liberty and Tyranny would be; it is the book I would have wanted to write had I the time, skill, and intellect of Mark Levin.

Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling

Very few books are able to impress, much less change a person’s view of the entire system of public education.

How to Read The Federalist Papers is a relatively short and highly readable introduction to The Federalist Papers, the argument for and explanation of the Constitution.

Ira Stoll does not appear to be a fawning admirer of Sam Adams, nor does he have a political axe to grind. Rather, Stoll seems academically curious about Adams: as he writes in the introduction, “This will be a book about who Samuel Adams was, why he is forgotten, why he should be remembered.”  If we remember Samuel Adams at all we think not so much of him as of the beer named after him. And if we think of Adams the founding father, we are more likely thinking of his cousin John Adams.

This has got to be the best, most entertaining political book I’ve read in a long time. The policy books make sense, the books by politicians push an agenda and the books by pundits tell you what they think. This book makes sense, tells the reader what the left really thinks, and gives you the agenda to really beat the left at their own game.
