2/17/2016 - After having read as much of this dreck as I could stomach, it becomes obvious that Mr. Carson is not versed at all in history, economics or any other topic he insults by addressing in this book. Strictly opinion, fantasy and…

Although I disagree with user sdgread, he does have some interesting thoughts in his comment. The tooting his own horn comment I can almost concur with. I can agree with just about every comment on this book so far.

Should be read by all Americans. This book is a quick read and gives the reader lots to think about. It would also be a great choice for a book club discussion.
