Book Review - Tea Party Patriots

Book Review
Tea Party Patriots - The Second American Revolution
Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin

Not only is this book a good and interesting history of the Tea Party movement, it is also highly instructional.  It points out the conditions that caused people to come together to form grassroots groups - in other words, what got us here!  But even more importantly, it gives us remedies for many of the problems that took over 100 years to create - a mentality that has allowed an out-of-control government to slowly usurp more and more of our liberty.

There are five major sections of the book:
1.  Economics.
2.  Politics.
3.  Education.
4.  The Judiciary.
5.  Culture.

Two chapters are devoted to each of the five topics.  For example. the first chapter on economics talks about what the Tea Party believes about economics, and the differences between those beliefs and the real world we face today.  The second chapter on economics then discusses "The economic pathway to Liberty," or how do we get out of this mess!

A couple of quick quotes from the book regarding economics:
"People are naturally more careful with their own money than when spending dollars that come from anonymous strangers!"

Along those same lines, "It is profoundly disrespectful to spend all of someone else's money on something they would never have spent it on themselves, like a bloated government bureaucracy."

Just a couple more of my favorite quotes that I hope will whet your appetite and make you want to pick up a copy to read.

"The so-called constitutional justification for the requirement under ObamaCare that every individual purchase health insurance, is that the "no-activity" of not buying health insurance is actually "commerce."  If you agree with that last sentence, you've got a great future as a Federal Official."

Finally and perhaps the most important in my mind, "If it's not Constitutional, it shouldn't be done, NO MATTER how tempting"  (emphasis is mine).
