A good read in honor of the 4th of July

After returning from 2 year mission in Argentina where I recieved more persecution for America's sake than for the church's , I was ready to join the military mostly because I wanted to defend my country but at the same time I would be lying if a secondary motive of mine was to spite those home and abroad who loath us. To make a long story straight my dad told me to do college thing before I committed to anything and then I got married to Ashley who is against her husband purposefuly going into harms way. So needless to say, I have to find another outlet to show my patriotism.
Anyways back to the real purpose of this blog. If you're tired of the media putting as much objectivity into the upcoming elections as they do with American idol, this book is for you. If your blood boils by how ignorantly people in prominence along with the general public undermine our country and its culture, this book is for you. If you've ever wondered why it's considered taboo for you to show pride in your American culture as opposed to minority groups who are encouraged to be more proud of their foreign cultures than that of America to whom they should feel indebted to; this book is for you.
D'SOUZA the author of this book is a highly educated Indian (dot, not feather) immigrant who explains "What is so Great about America" (not just a clever title). Upon completing the book you will feel grateful to be an American and you'll get a new found respect for our culture while erasing the forced guilt that your teachers and media have heaped upon you, even before you understood what cultural diversity really was. In other words you'll know what sets America apart from all other nations. You'll understand why the some of the same people who hate America the most would immigrate here in a heartbeat given the opportunity was made available.
I give this book 2 thumbs up, WAY UP!! thanks dad for recommending it to me!
