It Is Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong

webmaster — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:24:41 +0000

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano examines the concept the government hates and fears the most: Freedom.

The United States of America was born out of a bloody revolt against tyranny. Yet almost from its inception, the government here has suppressed liberty. In his sixth book on the Constitution and human freedom, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano asks: Where does freedom come from? How can government in America exercise power that the people have not given to it? What forces have collaborated to destroy personal freedom?

In this back-to-basics on freedom, Judge Napolitano addresses hard questions:

Do we still have a Constitution?
What are the limits to government power in a free society?
Why does the government attack, rather than defend, our rights?
If our rights are inalienable, how can the government take them away?
Do we really own any private property?

The Judge gives a sweeping treatment of natural rights and all the philosophical, religious, and ideological principles that underscore the concept of human freedom.

Dred Scott’s Revenge

webmaster — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:27:17 +0000

Judge Andrew Napolitano lays bare the twisted legal history of racism in America.

“All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights” wedded the American soul to the concept that freedom comes from our humanity, not from the government. But American governments legally suspended the free will of blacks for 150 years, and then denied blacks equal protection of the law for another 150 years. How did this happen in America, how were the Constitution and laws of the land twisted so as to institutionalize racism, and how did it or will it end?

In a refreshingly candid book, Dred Scott’s Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom In America, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano takes a no-holds-barred look at the role of the government in the denial of freedoms based on race.

Here’s what people are saying about Dred Scott’s Revenge…

“The best history of the law and race I’ve ever read… Judge Napolitano has written a challenge to anyone who thinks they understand the roots of America’s tangled race relations.”
– Juan Williams, National Public Radio

“The Attorney General ignited a firestorm by suggesting that ours was a nation of ‘cowards’ when it comes to conversations about race. Judge Andrew Napolitano is no coward. His brave and incisive book takes the calamitous, contemptuous Dred Scott decision, which held slaves to be “non-persons,” as its starting point. In this sharply written narrative, the Judge shows us how race remains the driving force in almost every aspect of American life, from education to law enforcement. Dred Scott, the person, would have appreciated this graphic and honest appraisal.”
– Geraldo Rivera, Fox News Channel

“Judge Napolitano… has written a riveting guide to the tumultuous history of our civil rights journey, coming to a post-racial society.”
– Nat Hentoff, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, senior fellow at the Cato Institute

“Dred Scott’s Revenge makes it impossible for the self-anointed ‘experts’ on race relations to ever accuse the country of being too afraid to have a national discussion on race. Judge Napolitano lays out 150 years of our national experience… and places the blame for much of what’s wrong squarely at the feet of those responsible: the federal government and politicians whose plans, policies, and programs trashed the Constitution. Compelling and timely reading written for the layman, not lawyers!”
– Glenn Beck, Nationally syndicated radio talk show host; Host, The Glenn Beck Program, Fox News Channel

“It is said President Obama gave the definitive speech on race; well, Judge Andrew Napolitano has written the definitive book. [He] has broken new ground as he examines the precious link between the words men write about freedom and the true freedom of all men.”
– Gov. Michael Steele, Chair, Republican National Committee

The Constitution in Exile

webmaster — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:25:15 +0000

What ever happened to our inalienable rights?

The Constitution was once the bedrock of our country, an unpretentious parchment that boldly established the God-given rights and freedoms of America. Today that parchment has been shred to ribbons, explains Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, as the federal government trounces state and individual rights and expands its reach far beyond what the Framers intended.

An important follow-up to Judge Napolitano’s best-selling Constitutional Chaos, this book shows with no-nonsense clarity how Congress has “purchased” regulations by bribing states and explains how the Supreme Court has devised historically inaccurate, logically inconsistent, and even laughable justifications to approve what Congress has done.

It’s an exciting excursion into the dark corners of the law, showing how do-gooders, busybodies, and control freaks in government disregard the limitations imposed upon Congress by the Constitution and enact laws, illegal and unnatural, in virtually every area of human endeavor.

Praise for The Constitution in Exile from Left, Right, and Center…

“Does anyone understand the vision of America’s founding fathers? The courts and Congress apparently don’t have a clue. But Judge Andrew P. Napolitano does, and so will you, if you read The Constitution in Exile.”
– BILL O’REILLY

“Whatever happened to states rights, limited government, and natural law? Judge Napolitano, in his own inimitable style, takes us on a fascinating tour of the destruction of constitutional government. If you want to know how the federal government got so big and fat, read this book. Agree or disagree, this book will make you think.”
– SEAN HANNITY

“In all of the American media, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is the most persistent, uncompromising guardian of both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, very much including the Bill of Rights. Increasingly, our Constitution is in clear and present danger. Judge Napolitano–in The Constitution in Exile–has challenged all Americans across party lines to learn the extent of this constitutional crisis.”
– NAT HENTOFF

“Judge Napolitano engages here in what I do every day on my program-make you think. There’s no question that potential Supreme Court nominees and what our Constitution says and doesn’t say played a major role for many voters in our last couple of elections. What the judge does here is detail why the federal government claims it can regulate as well as tax everything in sight as it grows and grows. Agree or disagree with him-you need to read his latest book, think, and begin to arm yourself as you enter this important debate.”
– RUSH LIMBAUGH

“At a time when we are, in Benjamin Franklin’s words, sacrificing essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, here comes the judge with what should be mandatory reading for the executive branch cronies who are busy stealing power while they think we’re not watching. Thank goodness the judge is watching and speaking truth to power. More than a book, this is an emergency call to philosophical arms, one we must heed before it’s too late.”
– ALAN COLMES

Constitutional Chaos

webmaster — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:22:39 +0000

In this incisive and insightful book, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano peels back the legal veneer and shows how politicians, judges, prosecutors, and bureaucrats are trampling the U.S. Constitution in the name of law and order and fighting terrorism. Napolitano reveals how they silence the First Amendment, shoot holes in the Second, break some laws to enforce others, entrap citizens, steal private property, seize evidence without warrant, imprison without charge and kill without cause.

Pundits on the right, left, and center have praised Constitutional Chaos for its penetrating examination of our rights and liberties in the post-9/11 world:

“Has the war on terrorism taken away some of your rights? In a non-ideological way, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano answers that crucial question. This book will open your eyes.”
– Bill O’Reilly

“This book is a wake-up call for all who value personal freedom and limited government.”
– Rush Limbaugh

“In all of the American media, Judge Napolitano is the most persistent, uncompromising guardian of both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. . .”
– Nat Hentoff

A Nation of Sheep

webmaster — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:20:07 +0000

In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.

Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms?

Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks:

Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?
Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?
What part of “Congress shall make no law…” does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?
Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?
Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?
Don’t we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

Lies the Government Told You

webmaster — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:31:05 +0000

Centuries of government deception have suspended our freedom and replaced it with a mythology rich in the ideals we are promised but do not actually experience.

The government’s lies have become our country’s heritage, passed down generationally and accepted over time as status quo. We allow our leaders to regulate, under false pretenses, every area of our supposedly free lives: What we eat, how our money is spent, how we protect ourselves. The basic tenets of living in a free society–the primacy of the individual and limited government–are violated routinely and with little objection from those most affected.

Judge Napolitano traces the deterioration of American freedom year by year, event by event, from the birth of the U.S. government to the economic and military crises of today. He illustrates how this distorted interpretation of government translates to loss for Americans–loss of life, loss of property, loss of freedom. The cost is staggering.

Amid the bleak revelation is a call to action. Judge Napolitano offers a blueprint to salvage our freedom and restore the government to its intended role as an instrument to protect the freedoms of the people.
