The 'Beck Effect' strikes again...yesterday at 6 p.m. (Friday), Ira Stoll's book about Samuel Adams was ranked at #4,867 on Amazon's 'best-seller' list. This morning? #2!

Seems a mention on Glenn's show translates to best-seller status overnight...authors should be lining up at the door to make an appearance on Glenn's show...

I can't think of ANY other television personality outside of Orca who can affect book sales in such a manner. This is a well-educated audience.

To: who knows what evil?

Shows like yesterday’s always send me off on my own search for history. Adams is pretty unknown beyond his name.

The saddest thing about our founders is the way history has been twisted to portray them as greedy rich white slave rapists. It serves no good purpose other than to put the entire focus on slavery. While searching yesterday, one of the first things I found was a race baiter’s book claiming that Adams said he wouldn’t allow a negro to live in his home. The reality is that Adams wouldn’t allow the “negro” (Surrey) to live in his home as a slave.

Things might be very different if more blacks were willing to recognize the willing participation of their ancestors. There needs to be far less concentration on slavery and more concentration on men like Crispus Attucks, the men who died at Lexington, the men who rode with Paul Revere etc.
