Presently, I'm re-reading Richard Frothingham's "Rise of the Republic of the United States." I was fortunate enough to find a copy in an old and rare book store, but it is now available for reading online here.

Glenn Beck has been discussing the rewritten histories of America. Anyone who reads "The Rise. . . ." will understand how shallow and distorted 20th and 21st Century histories truly have been.

Frothingham's citations of original documents, his quotations (carefully footnoted) from earlier historians, and his development of the premise that it is what he calls "the Christian idea of man" which enabled the "miracle of America" to provide liberty, opportunity, and plenty to the people of the nation and, indeed, to the entire world, make his 1872 history one which every American should read.

Just finished ‘One Second After’—I had trouble sleeping the night I finished it.

I just finished ‘America’s Prophet’ by Bruce Feiler the other day too.

One my reading list now:

‘Origins of the American Revolution’ by John Miller
‘Sacred Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence’ by Pauline Maier
‘The Federalist Papers’
‘Rise to Rebellion’ by Jeff Shaara

I have two others in the pile I can’t remember the titles of right now, but one is by FReeper LS (the 47 lies one). The other book is I think called ‘FDR vs. the Supreme Court’ or something like that.

I’m going on vacation at the end of the week, so some of this stuff will go with me in my bookbag. :)

Just finished reading "Stealth Jihad" by Robert Spencer and HIGHLY recommend it for all

Just started reading "Muslim Mafia" by P. David Gaubatz, which is really eye opening re: the "so-called" Moooslimb Civil Rights group (but in fact a PROVEN terrorist supporting organization) CAIR!

Next on my list is "The Honor of Spies" by W.E.B. Griffin, who in now, my new all-time favorite author and anyone who has been in the military, will certainly enjoy this writer--especially his Brotherhood of War and The Corps series.

Anyone likes Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, will LOVE, Griffin!
