Mother, Should I Trust the Government?: The Making and Keeping of Our American Republic by Jake Jacobs Ph.D.
“Is the government to be trusted with the power we’ve given them to protect our life and liberties and to not harm us in our “thatched roof castles? History teach us: NO!”
This book is divided up into two parts with chapters through out. The first part is basically our past history from the 1700s, acts of the government, slavery, progressivism versus our federal republic, etc. The second part talks about more modern politics like conservatives and corruption, our republic versus the elite media’s worldview, etc.
“…the government lives beyond its means, but so do the people. Millions of Americans have become indolent, indifferent, and insecure as they turn to the government for comfort and security. Virtue is dying in America as we have forgotten the wisdom of our Founders… Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
I like that at the end of each chapter, the author has suggested reading material to further research specifics about that chapter.
I love to read history books but I’m not as knowledgeable as I should be with politics, so I really liked reading this book! My 13 year old also loves to read so he was excited I gave him a copy of this book to read too.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Aneko Press in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own. I was also given a second copy to give away on my blog.
WIN a copy of this book!
USA mailing address only-winner will be picked on Monday July 6th.
