"The Revolution: A Manifesto"

A couple of days ago, I bought my copy of Ron Paul's book.

Here's Michael Scheuer's take on the book.

Dr. Paul reminds Americans that they are the inheritors – the posterity, if you will – of the work and guidance of the single wisest, most courageous, and most foresighted group of leaders who ever lived at one time and labored successfully to form a new republic. Refusing to be fashionable – a most admirable characteristic – Dr. Paul forthrightly declares that the Founders’ work and guidance remain just as relevant to Americans today as it was two-plus centuries ago. [p. 10] In making this argument, he echoes Oxford Professor Daniel N. Robinson’s contention that the Founders drew from "the political life of early America [which itself] is an extended treatise on the nature of human nature," a treatise that held as a certainties the beliefs that man was a flawed, non-perfectible creature whose attitudes and character did not change over the ages. The Founders knew that people do not change, that good and evil are constants in history, and – most important -- that power not freedom is the universal value.

Hope you visitors to this blog get a chance to pick up a copy of Dr. Paul's book.
