Read in two days. P&Ps is very enlightening & amusing. O’Reilly describes the elementary difference between a “Pinhead” and a “Patriot” & he documents people throughout U.S. history that can be labeled pinheads and patriots. I found the section on the U.S. presidents to be fascinating and I’m thankful to O’Reilly for sharing his knowledge and insight.
I appreciated his statement in the section “The Man In The Middle”,
“The individual American appears to be rapidly losing power. Wages have been pretty much stagnant for more than a decade. Working people are getting by but not moving up. It is damned difficult to pay your bills and taxes and also save a few bucks, is it not?
President Obama and his team want to pass laws that put even more power and money in the hands of the federal government; that, very simply, is my primary beef with them. The more shots are called from Washington, the few options we the people have in our own lives. Rugged individualism made this country great, not entitlement programs rigged to provide “income redistribution”.
