Book Reviews

Hey all!  Sorry, I've book slacking on the book reviews lately!  I'm working on a top secret project.  Rest assure, I’m still reading!  I'm nearly finished with The 5000 Year Leap!  It’s a tough read, but is full of great wisdom directly from the mouths of our founders!

Be well, fellow patriots!

Gov. Chris Christie(R-NJ) Puts A Liberal Reporter In His Place!

I respect Chris Christie more than any other politician right now. He's fighting to get NJ back on the right track and isn't dancing around his policies like most politicians.

PRUDEN: The First Amendment under 'progressive' siege - Washington Times

Our most recent Supreme Court nominee on the first amendment and free speech.

shocking? Not really, considering we have radicals running our country.

Crime Inc. - Pt. 1

If you haven't heard about what Glenn Beck and co. have been calling "Crime Inc.," Its time to look at the evidence and decide for yourself. I will be posting part 2 of this as soon as it is available. This is either one of the biggest coincidences in history or it's for real. Pt. 1 introduces the players and where they fit. Pt. two takes it even further and it's hard to deny. If you're a Beck hater, save your fingers - I've heard all the insults, so don't even bother.

Maurice Strong, Williams, and the New York Times

Global governance based on a bold-faced lie called global warming is the master plan, and many Americans have been awakened to the truth.  Now that the Greek uprising is on display, due mainly to the entitlement mentality of their citizenry ,and unrealistic union contracts, the dominoes may be falling.

Even Brian Williams of GE run NBC and The New York Times have figured out what the “crazy” tea party people have known for a while.

Our debt is unsustainable.  Something’s gotta give.

One of those on the frontline of this movement is a man named Maurice Strong.  Strong, a Canadian Socialist, advocates some type of global governance to save the planet from ourselves – though he knows that his proposed plan would be problematic for developed countries.  Don’t believe me?  Read his words for yourself;

“In order to save the planet, the group [GIM] decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about? This group of world leaders [GIM] forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse.”

He developed a document called the Earth Charter, which his likens to the Magna Carta or the Bill of Rights.

The Buzz-kill of Success

Remember the days (before the "bailout era") when earning a living making good money was something of which to be proud?  Since the corrupt politicians starting going after the corrupt investment bankers, many Americans disdain the very few success stories of your typical hardworking American.  Instead of being jealous or envious, inquire with that person...  What did you do to become successful during this tumultuous time?

.................................................

I'm in the middle of The 5000 Year Leap.  It’s truly amazing.  I had no idea how much religion and natural law from a “creator” affected our founding fathers!

Full review coming soon.

God bless!

The Barnes and Noble “Nook” eReader

Good evening!  I want to welcome all of the new visitors to the blog and THANK YOU for your interest in what I am writing about!  If there are new products related to reading that I have had the opportunity to use, I plan on discussing them and making purchasing recommendations.

I read the majority of my books on the “Nook,” which is the eReader that was released last year by Barnes and Noble.  I love a REAL book, but our house isn’t big enough to contain the library of historical novels, etc that I plan on reading over the year.  The Nook ($259 – same as Kindle) does a great job of containing thousands of books! 

I am setting aside any personal bias that I have for the Nook, in order to deliver a reliable review of the product.  Here are my thoughts on the device…

The Good

• Color touch screen
• Displays book covers
• Most new releases are $9.99
• Ability to read any ebook for free while in Barnes and Noble stores.
• Some games (Chess, Sudoku)
• e-ink display, allowing the reader to read in sunlight without glare. (The Kindle has this as well, but I believe the iPad has the standard LCD display, which is reflective in the sunlight).
• Compact (no built-in keyboard like Kindle.  Keyboard appears on the touch screen.
• Built-in Dictionary (comes in handy).
• Ability to lend eBooks to other Nook users.

The Bad

• I needed an RMA after 4 months of use, because my nook’s screen froze on an image.
• Kindle has more eBooks available.
• The iPad does way more.

As you can see, there are more positives than negatives.  My Nook failed on me within the standard one-year warrantee.  It took 5 minutes for me to call Barnes and Noble customer service and I received a replacement within 5 days.  Weigh your options and make the most informed decision.  Good luck!

Below are the accessories I have purchased for use with my Nook.  I have the Lyra light and the Bronte cover in “Storm.”  I was VERY skeptical about the  light, because the reviews online have been iffy,  but it gets the job done for $14.95.   Occasionally the batteries get shifted into a weird position and the light goes dim, but that’s an easy fix (re-position the light).

The cover is really user preference.  I bought the Bronte, because it allows me to put a picture of my family into the picture frame.

If you have any addition questions, feel free to leave me a comment!

Thanks and God bless!

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World

If you are fan of Glenn Beck, then I’m sure you have heard him mention The 5000 Year Leap at some point – either during one of his famous emotional moments or while discussing some great ideas from the past, that can be applied today. 

Follow me, while I discover the genius of our founding fathers and the ideas that built the greatest country God gave man.  I will get my review up as soon as possible.

A Patriot’s History of the United States is coming along quite well.  I have learned more than I ever knew about George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.  All were great men, but the book truly looks into some of the policies that were good for the country and some that, in hindsight, may have been mistakes.

Thanks for reading!
