| Description | G. Gordon Liddy's wit, wisdom, and no-holds-barred approach have brought legions of devoted listeners to his daily radio program, and made his autobiography, Will, a monumental bestseller.
Now he brings the same inimitable style to When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country.
Readers will be alternately infuriated and amused—but always enthralled—as "The G-Man" reveals what has been wrought by liberal politicians, government bureaucrats, "enviro-radicals," "fulminating feminists," "devotees of diversity," and countless others. Americans have surrendered their precious freedom to these "politically correct nitwits."
With refreshing candor, Liddy tackles...
* the military: "Now that we are engaged in a worldwide war against terrorism, we have no more time to listen to politically correct castrati who want to foist their pet programs on our armed forces. The military is not a jobs program, or a place for social experimentation, or a venue for political correctness. It has but one purpose: to wage war."
* the environment: "Environmentalist whackos who blame humans for 'global warming' are like the man who urinated into the river at bedtime and then blamed himself for the flood the next day."
* education: "Instead of emphasizing results—which would require students to work hard and show (gasp) that some were achieving more than others—our schools now focus on dumbing everything down so students can 'feel good' about themselves. One teacher says, 'I don't think kids need to deal with competition.' Oh? Just wait until they graduate!"
* the Second Amendment: "There has been a lot of twaddle bandied about in recent years that 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms' is not an individual right. Nothing could be more false."
* men and women: "It is idiotic to accept the current notion that, 'plumbing' aside, men and women are identical, and that the plumbing business is of no significance. Ten thousand people swearing that a horse is a dog does not make a horse a dog."
...and much more
And as a bonus, Liddy includes an updated account of the famous Watergate break-in. The G-Man tells how he was dragged into court over his views on Watergate—and prevailed.
When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free County is a fascinating story, told as only G. Gordon Liddy can tell it. |
