It is marvelous, Maureen. "The Intimidation Game: How the Left is Silencing Free Speech".
From detailed, intimate personal knowledge and from skilled and in depth investigation, Kimberly Strassel gives chapter, verse, and many detailed specifics about the ways in which our institutions are clamping down on all measure of free speech and expression.
From intimidation and harassment by the FBI of conservative groups and businesses, to control and modification of school texts, to the instant cries of racism and sexism and antiphobic hate speech, speech codes all over the place, IRS audits as harassment. What Richard Nixon did in the White House was child's play compared to what is going under the power of Obama, his federal reach, and the power of the institutional Left in the U.S.
I can't do better than repeat this review by Dawn Wildman:

Not since Woodward and Bernstein's "All the President's Men" has there been a journalist willing to do the deep digging to uncover the abuse of power by an out of control American government. If you are an activist you must read this book to discover the playbook of the progressive ruling elite. If you are an interested citizen/voter you should read this book so you know the extent to which a very coordinated progressive cabal is willing to go to silence Americans.
Kimberley Strassel interviewed American citizens who were actually harmed by the overreach of government agencies and an Administration that has been calling the shots for almost 8 years. The thread of how conservative Americans were singled out for IRS audits and raids on their homes and police action is stunning. The fact that few other media outlets covered these stories is even more stunning. Thank goodness this travesty bothered Ms. Strassel enough for her to undertake this very unpopular stand by investigating this criminal behavior by government employees and their political Svengalis.
People need to understand what happened, who is involved and how the progressives continue to harass innocent Americans for no other reason but that they have a differing set of values and principles. Such an excellent book! Thank you Kimberley Strassel for writing it!

I strongly urge any parent with a family member between 12 and 35 to give them a copy of this book before the election. Or at least by Christmas. If they already understand, it sure won't hurt to provide some emphasis and proof of what is going on in our country. And if they don't, then it is even more vital than ever. |
