Winning was just the beginning. Change may start at the White House, but it finishes at your house.

In The Deplorables' Guide to Making America Great Again, Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes reports from the front lines of the culture war in America and provides insights on what you can do to bring about real and lasting change in our nation.

We've told Washington enough is enough, and we want to change the course of the country. President Obama called us bitter. Hillary Clinton called us irredeemable. The mainstream media called us backwater bigots. We were mocked by Hollywood and dismissed by academics. We were marginalized by the media - bullied and belittled by sex and gender revolutionaries. With the election of Donald Trump, the American people have spoken.

I'm around 9% done. So far it's really good.

[Melanie]

I'm 35%. I haven't highlighted anything yet...but I might go back and highlight the part where the marching band that was banned from playing "How Great Thou Art" followed that banning and instead played "Amazing Grace". I loved this quote from there:
"If Americans United wants to ban "Amazing Grace," so be it. There are plenty of songs in the hymnal, such as "All Hail The Power of Jesus' Name" and "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder". 26% (boldness added mine;))

Way too much PC going on...Loving this book, btw. :)) (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

(just saw this thread, so that's why I'm adding my comments. ;))

[C.P.]

Perfect. Hopefully I can get more of this read tomorrow!

[Melanie]

Finished

(view spoiler)[Loved that Reagan quote near the end! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

I've read a little more. About to read some before going to bed. I'll check out all your comments once I get to those sections. I'm really liking it so far, what did you think overall, Melanie?

[Melanie]

I really liked it. It's crazy all the stuff going on -- learned about way more than I ever heard about before. It's kind of scary how PC everything has become, don't you think? Seems like even the tiniest of things offend. O.o

[C.P.]

I definitely think it's crazy. And I agree, there is a lot of new information in here that I didn't know before. Glad you liked it!

I'm 43% in right now.

[C.P.]

50% (view spoiler)[I didn't know that about Target or the NFL. (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

11% (view spoiler)[The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom.
So his parents can't realize what is being taught to their child? (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

26% (view spoiler)[I know a lot of vegetarians and vegans are liberals, but I'm not so I'm finding this a little annoying. (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

35% (view spoiler)[The professor said if it [your opinion] hurts others, you should question those views, specifically the Bible,"
I bet this professor wouldn't say the same thing about other religions. (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

36% (view spoiler)[The section on Christian clubs was a good one. I loved the argument of gay groups then having anti-gay leadership or Muslim groups accepting non-Muslim leaders. I can't believe how ridiculous some places/people are. (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

Finished (view spoiler)[Such a great book! I enjoyed reading all the stories, especially the ones where people held their ground and won. I still can't believe that a group from a different state can dictate what people can or cannot do in another state. I hope people continue to fight this unconstitutional behavior. (hide spoiler)]

I completely agree!

[C.P.]

I need to finish this. My resding slowed down a lot. Glad you both enjoyed it!

[C.P.]

Finally finished this. I really enjoyed it. For the most part I agree with the things that Starnes says. There are a few things that I don't agree with (like mocking people), but he's right that we have to change things.
