Book Acts as Barometer Measuring the Fear of Obama
Townhall.com ^ | March 31, 2009 | Douglas MacKinnon

A little over two years ago, my novel depicting a conservative revolution from within the United States against the ”liberal onslaught eradicating traditional America,” was released. It is entitled “America’s Last Days,” and did quite well in the bookstores and on Amazon.com.

The reason I bring it up again (which seems counter-productive as I now have a newer novel in the bookstores), is to report some interesting feedback which may or may not act as a measurement of concern or outright fear of the Obama administration and the European Welfare State the left-leaning President seems intent on replicating within our borders.

Looks like I might need to fire up my Kindle and order America's Last Days.

I have just finished writing my newest novel, and it should be ready in a few weeks. The plot is right up to date, a few years in the future.

“Left leaning President”

How about a completely leftist fascist President?

President Obama, an ultra left-wing radical fascist marxist.

It’s a book by Paul Erdman. He has others in the same vein and they are all excellent reads. Real page turners, every one of them.

BTW the correct title for the book is “The Last days of America”

Perhaps the writing isn’t the best but the theme is exciting and the book never drags. Intended or not it is a book that foresaw a future we live in today.

THat’s always been my experience with books like this, too. “Horrifically bad writing”.
I guess they think “it’s the thought, or sentiment, that counts”, but in fiction of any type, it’s the artistry of the writing and nothing more. Great novels have been written about NOTHING. It’s the writing itself that has to hook you, and has to be “alive”. Otherwise, it might as well be “sociology” or “political science”. Orwell knew how to do this, and very few others.......
