First, I had the pleasure this year of reading The Five Laws of Liberty by Scott Hyland.  This book is an honest examination of the biblical view of freedom.  The Five Laws of Liberty are: Remember the Past,  Embrace the Truth, Respect Humanity, Self-Control (Restraint), and Protect and Serve Others.  The amount of information in this book kept me intrigued and mesmerized.  I have a habit of highlighting sentences I like as I read and this book has so many, I might as well highlight the entire book!  One of my favorite quotes discusses the value of privilege in freedom.  “Freedom has a taste to those who fight and die for it that the protected with never know.” While I have never had the honor to serve in battle, I will fight for freedom… as you know from reading my blog and from hearing me speak about our country and her path.  There are so many quotes from this book I should share, but I’d be stealing from your reading pleasure.  Get it today for yourself and/or a fellow patriot.  It’s amazing!

“An invaluable playbook for parents who reject the Nanny State.”  This quote from Michelle Malkin is regarding Marybeth Hicks’ book Don’t Let Kids Drink the Kool-Aid.  As the mother of three children … two of which are in college … this book’s title instantly caught my attention.  As Marybeth notes, our kids are being indoctrinated through television and their own educators to believe: Socialism is better than a free market, America is a villain, and the Government will save them.  So even though socialism has a historical rate of failure, America has saved millions of lives in the name of liberty and freedom and our economy is tanking under 0bamanomics’ Trickle Up Poverty, an alarming number of kids don’t believe it.  The government will educate you, and then your obligation is to serve the government’s goals, not your own. Time to turn that television off.  Listen to your kids and what their teachers are saying.  And go buy this book to have an eye opening experience!  It’s fantastic! (more…)
