Newt Gingrich has produced a book with 25 chapters, each one a well-thought-out explication of his basic premise, namely, that a very powerful group of left-wing activists is moving our center-right country to the left despite strong public opinion against their policies. Several chapters are co-authored by experts in their field who lend greater credence to the author's claims.
Unlike many political books, this one offers solutions to America's many problems that do not require expansion of the federal government's control over every aspect of our lives. The Left wants everyone to turn over their liberties to a centralized bureaucracy in Washington that will make all of the decisions that previously were made by individuals instead. On the other side are Tea Party activists who are frustrated by what's going on in DC, and this book provides an intelligent approach that should be considered strongly by the Tea Party as they seek to devolve power back to the people.
I am convinced that a number of folks who have not read this book are assigning one star as their rating simply because they prefer to have a government that controls us from afar, including the food we eat, the diagnosis and treatment of our diseases, and the investment of our hard-earned savings. It would be nice if there were some way for Amazon to require that reviewers demonstrate at least a basic knowledge of the content of a book prior to writing reviews (say, a test over several aspects of the book), but I suppose this would require a lot of expense so it will not happen. It does seem basically dishonest for reviewers to rate a book with one star before reading what the book has to say.
No one has all of the answers to our current dilemmas, but I do give Newt Gingrich credit for putting forth the effort to define a number of problems and then to propose solutions to them. Even if one does not agree with the author's political philosophy, assigning a single star to a well-written book seems dishonest to me. Since I do not know the reviewers, I cannot state without reservation that they are actually dishonest, but the appearance is overwhelming and disconcerting.
