Posted on 06/29/2016 12:44:17 PM PDT by V K Lee

The author of this book has been seen several times on various tee vee shows. Understand that the sales of this soon to be released tome are already soaring.

If any here have had the opportunity to read it, please share your feelings. pro? con? informative? encouraging? I ask to due the fact the author was once entwined with the AP, NY Times, NRP and therefore must have some rust on his body of information.

Thanks for your input. The book itself is not a fast read and looks to be heavy with knowledge and thought. Which would make the price increase over a quick, flimsy paperback. http://www.conservativemonitor.com/books03/genius-of-america.shtml

Aren’t you also a fan of Alex Jones and Infowars?

Is your recommendation in any way influenced by that?

You are correct in the fact I do follow Info Wars. As to being influenced by Mr. Jones in regard to this book about our Constitution is blowing smoke. One would hardly put that sum together. The fact that both sides of the issue...whatever the issue may be...are researched to the best of my ability/time before investing in either. All which was asked is an opinion and it is presumed you’ve none to offer.

Yes, clearly. Pointing it out and creating a thread about it surely indicates total apathy.

I do believe he is. He has been seen on two different Fox News? shows and twice the shows were not seen completely. If the man is truly competent and actually has some serious constructive thoughts, he might have something to offer. The reason for any input from actual readers of his book. Where A. Jones came into this conversation, I’ve absolutely NO idea! Is it a known fact that the gentleman appeared on IW? If so, I must have missed that interview.

“The United States is the longest running democracy in history at 220 years.”

Stopped reading right there. If the author can’t even get our type of government correct, I don’t hold out much hope for the rest of the book.

I try not to be influenced by attention-seeking lunatics and purveyors of fabulism.

Is that a problem?

tsk tsk

This election seems to be getting to some ‘folks’ here in that they seek disagreement with just about everything whether it be real indignation or falsely acquired scorn.

After reading your posts one must wonder how your spouse feels at the end of the day. Courtesy is a virtue which seems to be absent.

Yes, those words seen here as well and as they are known to be false another reason to question before spending hard earned money on a book worthless unless used to start a fire.
Now we wonder as to the whether the author is out to make a buck or just an image to counter balance his NPR agenda.

What does that even mean? If you have a point to make, spit it out.

Nothing, she's dead. Nice shady part of the yard that's mowed regular.
