Wanted to share this with you all. This is an exceptional and entertaining work that compares current leadership to the founding fathers. Norton uses humor and a firm grasp on the issues to show us how vastly unprincipled our current leaders are. He makes a great case as to how the founders were radical progressives and how todays modern progressive movement is very much allinged with the founders own beliefs and ideals.
This is a MUST read. Simple as that. You want a look in to who the guys who founded this nation really were? You want to laugh while doing it? This is the book for you.

Feeling sorry for myself today being 'forced' by my daughters to cross the Delaware twice (between DC and Jersey) on this warm day, I'll say thank you, General Washington, again.

Someone left it behind at the hotel I worked at. No one else wanted it so I took it home. I'd send the person a thank you letter for leaving it now if I knew who did it. :)

and in this case your thumb's up puts in the must read category.
Speaking of Washington - and Christmas,it was this day in 1776, that George Washington on a bitterly cold,frozen day, crossed the Delaware with his contintental army. It was a difficult time and morale was down. It was to be a decisive moment in the Revolutionary War and the formation of our Republic. The rest is history.
Thank you for your service to our country, Ron - and Merry Christmas!
