After reading Lies The Government Told You by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano I have to say I am confused. Not by the subject or the idea of the book, more by the words chosen to portray the ideas. I am open minded when it comes to politics and gonvernement so I can agree with some of the points made, but it seems that thw writing made the vision more comfusing than it had to be. An average person reading this might get tired of having to re-read sentences just to make sure they understand the statements. I wouldn't recommmend stopping since it was a well thought out piece. I would say turning off the television or other distractions would be a good idea.
I enjoyed reading Judge Napolitano's views on the government. They feel they are above the law and can twist the constitution to fit the current situation. Talk of slavery and torture was hard to read due to the honesty of the author. Seeing the decisions made by our past presidents can change your views on them and wonder how it hadn't been brought to your attention before. This book will make you think about what your impressions were of these famous Americans and founding fathers, if you have the guts to read it.
I can say that this book is not for everyone, it can enrage someone who is very set in their ways when it comes to their views. I know some things were not exactly what I would have liked to hear but I did not read it to hear about what I know, it was to hear something new, something no one I know would have the courage to say. It starts with a joke and ends with a revelation.
I did receive products to review, however I was not compensated in any other manner. The opinions in this review are my own honest thoughts on the products.
