Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent Wisdom
This is one of those books that inspires, enlightens and provides a detailed insight into the wisdom of those who founded and have guided this nation to greatness. Would make a great book for the Leftocrats to learn what the principles and wisdom America was founded upon. I only gave it a 5 star rating because that is the max you can give. This book surpasses all books of comparable nature.

Rating: - One of my most used books
I've had this book for a couple of years and find myself going back to it freqently. It includes great treasures of wit, wisdom, and inspiration. Too often today we forget the thoughtfulness of our forefathers. Too bad tlv106@aol.com from Tampa, Florida thinks this wisdom is "corporate America propaganda."
Rating:  - Just more right wing garbage
OK - maybe it's not 'garbage' but it's just more corporate America propaganda, that's for sure.
For right wing conservatives who think that public efforts in regard to health care, civil rights, day care, wages and the environment are all bad, this is a winner.
Yet, for those enlightened among us who believe that government has a responsibility to aid the needy, educate the masses, give health care to all, grant equal opportunity and protect our natural resources, this ... Read More
