DeMint pens 'new Declaration of Independence'

Or so claims Newt Gingrich about Sen. Jim DeMint's new book, "Saving Freedom: We can stop America's slide into socialism."

We'll see. I bought the book a few days back, but then this Sanford and Jacko thing one-two'ed me into a state of delirious punch-drunkeness and I just stumbled from screen to screen until I was down for the count. (Wow, that sentence didn't make a lick of sense. You'd think I was offering some kind of explanation about my love of the Appalachian Trail.)

On Friday July 3, the DeMinted one will be in Chucktown to sign copies of "Saving Freedom" at the Costco in West Ashley starting at 4 p.m. I seriously doubt I'll be able to make it. But I might. Look for the white guy, the one about 50 years old, the golf shirt, and the close-cropped hair. That would be me.

Hunter/DeMint 2012

On my list this summer. As is Beck’s Common Sense, Toesucker’s Catastrophe, and Levin’s Liberty Tyranny.

I read Levin’s. Nothing new, but good to see it selling like hotcakes.

I had to answer the lefties comments on the page as below;

Sure the United States is not a totally socialist country yet. I think that is the point of the book. DeMint wishes to prevent that. Any critical observer must realize that the Obama is making a determined push to advance the US toward a more socialist economy. Chrishaire’s point that Socialism is an economic system ignores the fact that any country’s economic system is going to have a political system that supports that system. You can not separate money from politics. Money is power and power is the business of politics.

[Calpernia]

I support that ticket!

BUMP. Hi Cal.
