This book takes a cutting edge, bi-partisan look a politics and culture in America. It is not left or right, liberal or conservative.
You've heard many people say, "Never discuss religion and politics." Well, this book breaks all of those rules. And it does it in sometimes shocking and frequently controversial ways. From discussing topics that have been debated for decades like abortion, race, the death penalty, and gun control to new topics like the Tea Party & Occupy Movements, the European Debt Crisis, and the 24 Hour News Networks, this book covers a range of issues. The book doesn't just address political issues, though, and also addresses many of the cultural issues facing America as well as some recent cultural icons. There is literally something in this book that would interest everybody, and the topics can be found in the FAQ below.
As the video mentions, this book is not even close to entirely liberal or entirely conservative. There are chapters that are pretty conservative and chapters that are pretty liberal. And a lot of chapters that contain ideas from both sides of the aisle. This is exactly the kind of book that would get talked about on many of the political shows on Fox News and MSNBC. My plan is to publish the book and simultaneously launch a web site where people can discuss the book and issues on a message board and where I can develop a following. Most (but not all) of the stances in this book have been covered by somebody, but this is truly a one of a kind collection of ideas.
I’m raising funds first for the publishing of my book, with any additional funds going to fund a web site. The first $700 is the cost of publishing of the book. It also includes the design of a cover for the book as well as to format it. There’s another $300 for the promotion of the book.

In addition to having an MBA from a highly ranked program and a Bachelor's degree in International Affairs (with an emphasis on political science), I have a completely open mind. As discussed in the video, this book is not partisan and contains many conservative and liberal positions.
