Customer Rating:      Summary: Interesting things they won't teach in public schools. Comment: This book presents a good perspective on issues that the media has led us to believe are "facts". Good historical background info. Definitely for those who want to have more than 1 perspective on where our country "is coming from".
Customer Rating:      Summary: Liked it, however Comment: The idea that America should get credit for ending slavery is simply not true. I did like the book overall. Mexico had ended slavery in the Americas first due to fighting the Spanairds who had in turn enslaved them. As a matter of fact that was one of the reasons Mexico sent troops to stop the revolts on Mexican soil (Texas) because the ex-American patriots wanted their RIGHT to own slaves which the Mexicans really didn't care for after having fought off the Spainards to end their own slavery.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Must READ!! Comment: This should be required reading in all venues. It is refreshing to read some actual facts and a good counterpoint to the hype the media loves to put out.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ha ha ha! Comment: 10 Big Lies About America.
This was whining but I liked it.
To be honest, I'm having trouble finding really GREAT books
to read since I switched to my Kindle.
The most engrossing read so far has been "Diary of a Lost Girl,"
the memoir by Osama Bin Laden's mistress/sex slave Kola Boof and
the fact that I originally didn't believe her story shocks me
now that I read the book.
I hated when that book ended, it was surprisingly thorough, very
well written and fantastically entertaining, mainly because of the
author's blunt candor. So if you want Medved's same political views
but from an African immigrant who loves America with good reason in better detail as to WHY then you might want to sample that book.
Anybody know any other really GREAT books they've read on their Kindle,
post 'em!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Rant-O-Rama Comment: "The 10 Big Lies About America" taught as truth on Talk Radio and Fixed Noise is a grotesque, propagandistic distortion of the historical record.
And how's this for a doozie of a distortion? "the U.S. deserves unique CREDIT for ending slavery."
Yeah. Right Michael. How long again after Britain banned slavery did that happen in the US? Where does the 'credit' part come in?
