 Fabulous June 29, 2008
Boortz is right on the money.
Simple and fun to read.
Makes perfect sense.
Almost as easy as "Buy low Sell High".
The Terrible Truth About Liberals May 21, 2008
Must reading for everyone in this country that cares for the USA's future. Mr. Boortz does not belittle anyone, but points out, with much humor, the fallacy of, so called, "ENTITLEMENTS".

One of the best books I have read to date. The retirement chapter is alone worth review in and of itself.Babyboomers, lookout you will be upset/angry(I am),when you realize just what has been done to our retirement!Trust me when you read this book, you will despise the word "Liberal".
Response to Ribtickling March 12, 2008
This is a great book that unapologetically says what needs to be said. It's a dose of tough love for the left. That said, I would like to respond to reviewer M.J. Nojonen who has put forth another leftist misinterpretation of this REPUBLIC's founding documents.
Contrary to what left wants people to believe, "promoting" the general welfare is NOT the same as "providing" it. A quick check of the dictionary will show that there is a clear difference between encouraging a service and supplying it. Every word of the founding documents was carefully and deliberately chosen and the use of the word "promote" was no exception.
So Neal is absolutely correct about the fact that our government was NEVER intended to provide social services such as education, healthcare, etc. The left's inability to understand why is due to an ignorance to the true meaning of the American Revolution.
Fortunately there is a cure for this type of ignorance, but only for those who are brave enough to confront reality and be honest with themselves. A careful reading of the book "DISCOVERY OF FREEDOM" by Rose Wilder Lane will provide a thorough understanding of the meaning of the American Revolution in the context of human history.
"DISCOVERY OF FREEDOM" is a very important, must read, that contains knowledge that few born into this world have had the good fortune to possess. Read it and you to shall become one of the few. Share it with others so the few can become the many.
It's baffling why leftists who are so sanctimoniously concerned about corporate monopolies welcome government monopolies as if they are somehow more altruistic or divine in nature. The left's contentment with receiving services from government monopolies is quite hypocritical, not to mention illogical. Monopolies produce low quality results at high prices and this is true whether the monopoly is a corporate or government entity.
Ever wonder why progress and technology has advanced further in the last 200 years than in all of the previous 5,000 years combined? It's generally because the first Americans broke free from the Old World (collectivist) ways of allowing some government entity to be their Nanny. The left wants to take us back to those dark ages, but true Americans (rugged individualists) have no need for a Nanny thank you.

You gotta love libertarians. I am sorry if you and Mr. Boortz feel that schools, libraries, environmental protection, public health etc. are not areas in which government should involve itself.
Mr. Boortz, heinous New Deal democrats didn't create this concept.
Read the preamble to the Constitution, the supreme authority from which all libertarian philosphy is derived, the wellspring, the mother lode, the alpha and omega: "promote the general welfare" is right there in black and white.
Enjoy your feudalism.
