3.0

Again, my favorite format: SHORT STORIES (kinda).

Each 'chapter' is a way in which America is screwing up the world. So, in a way, a short story. At least it helps the content move along. The problem is that this guy is soooo Regan hating that it felt like half of his issues could all be traced back to one guy. Not that I've ever loved Regan, and this got to be a little much for me about 1/3 of the way thru the book.

The author brings up some interesting points, but hammers them to death most of the time. I gave it 3 stars because if you skim-read the book its not half bad and for those interesting ideas. I would say I agree with 1/3 of the points brought up, but never to the extent of the author. But, having the agreement every once in awhile made the book easier to read.
