OK, I didn’t want to read Dinesh D’Souza’s new book “Stealing America.” It sounded too hardboiled a perspective even for me! I admit I did see his documentary about “America, Imagine a World Be Without Her?” And I enjoyed it—especially from the point of view of the Founding Fathers. And then I read the book, too. But wouldn’t “Stealing America” just be too much?
Then my wife gave it to me as a gift. Yeah, she saw it on sale. So I figured I had to read it. And I found that it explains the prison experience correctly, and what you can learn there! I should know. I’m now writing “A Patriot in Prison” about my own personal experience. Unjustly accused and sent to prison camp.
I used to love to read the newspaper. The daily, home delivery newspaper.I especially liked the comic section. Now my grandkids ask “what’s a newspaper?”
George Washington, in his First Inaugural Address reminded us, as citizens of America, and as voters:
Franklin explains in his Autobiography his Project for Moral Perfection. He decided as a youth that he should try to become as perfect as he possibly could in thirteen character traits he described in his book. He worked on this project all his life, and I believe he did become practically perfect in most things.
