America by Heart – Chapter 1, We the People (Part 2 of 2)
Well, I was better prepared for the second half of this God awful collection of tripe that Sarah Palin calls a “chapter.” “Better prepared” means that I’d pre-medicated with a little fermented sugar cane (rum). So, let’s not stop and think about it too much. It’s like ripping off a Band-Aid, just get it over with quick. Welcome back to the blogging of the book. In this installment we’ll discuss the lack of racism in the country, except by the Obamas and their pastor, and we’ll examine the lyin’ Black Congressional Caucus and their attempt to trick us into talking…
America by Heart – Chapter 1, We the People (Part 1 of 2)

As usual my internal mutterings will appear in red. Page ix – The scene opens at the Boston Tea Party rally last spring.

America By Heart… Blogging the Book
I found something for you to be thankful for, right off the bat today. You can be thankful that you are smarter than me, and that you didn’t buy Sarah Palin’s newest book. A while back I promised to blog the new book, like I did with Going Rogue. I have to tell you though, that at the time I expected it to be a book that went something like, “I really like this quote from George Washington because he’s my favorite founding father, bla bla bla.” Instead, we’ve got Going Rogue, the Sequel. From what I can tell it’s…
