Description

America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gays -- rather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy. Many Americans have forgotten the evils of socialism and the predations of the American Great Society's welfare state programs. But, as American Enterprise Institute's president Arthur C. Brooks reveals in The Battle, the forces for social democracy have returned with a vengeance, expanding the power of the state to a breathtaking degree.The Battle offers a plan of action for the defense of free enterprise; it is at once a call to arms and a crucial redefinition of the political and moral gulf that divides Right and Left in America today. The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake.

While reading this book I couldn't help but think of "Animal Farm," required reading when I was in college. The book is short, concise, to the point and simply written without a plethora of faux-intellectualism so prevalent among today's "brandy-sniffers," i.e. college faculty. Simply written indeed, and intentionally so I would speculate.As most of we reputed "ignorant fools" out in the hinterland have come to realize the pigs can actually be much worse than the naive Farmer Jones, as Orwell so effectively pointed out. His book was a response to the ridiculous message being force fed to the masses in Russia, vis-a-vis just another form of socialism. And so Brooks does a nice job of making the point to be careful what you ask (vote) for.The really sad point is that had our citizenry taken the time to research Obama a bit we would have learned what we were in for. Many did though, I read OMAMA NATION labor day weekend before the election but few took the time to do so. I truly hope they have learned their lesson, even if it be the hard way.Brooks is right, we have clearly been sold a bill of goods by Obama and his lying, socialist accomplices. What is the Obama lie-o-meter count up to now, 50 or 100 maybe? Saul Alinski must be smiling down on current events wherever he hangs out today.I spent a good deal of my life exposed to European style socialism, up close; working with, working in and dealing with it on a daily basis. Socialism is no solution for what ails us in our country. Obama Care, as scary as it is, is not the end, merely the beginning of the social healthcare festivities. With all its faults multiplied 10 times, free market capitalism is still light years ahead of big government socialism - "social justice" indeed. What we stand to lose is our individual freedom, sold for 30 pieces of silver to the elitists in a nanny state setting. Thanks but no thanks, I have other plans.Brooks is also right, the American people are terrified at what they have seen, so they have spoken where it counts, at the ballot box. And there is more to come in 2012 I believe, so also is the revolt of we commoners just beginning.Just for fun I counted responses to the 1-star reviews of this book and sorted them into a category of helpful vs. not helpful responses. By my non scientific calculation: the count is 17% helpful and 83% not helpful. NUFF SAID?
