Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings
AuthorThomas Paine
ISBN0451528891
Too bad this book isn't a major part of our current educational system. I teach English literature and am convinced that a good dose of this at least once a day will bring our country back from the reality show addicted ninnies that we are all becoming. Wonderful book about the abuses of government, the...
The Gettysburg Address
AuthorAbraham Lincoln
ISBN0395883970
I would like to respond to the unkind and unfair comments that the liberal press have made concerning Mr. Trump's recent speech, which they claim was plagiarized from President Lincoln's immortal words.

The Declaration of Independence
AuthorThomas Jefferson
ISBN1844671577

My first thoughts, on the morning of July 4, 2017.

Put aside slavery and hypocrisy—if you can—for a moment, and read the first paragraph (71 words, 405 characters): When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected...
Emancipation Proclamation
AuthorAbraham Lincoln


The Emancipation Proclamation is a moving and thought provoking document. It demonstrates a President's conviction to create change for the better good of all people in spite of the opposition of the times. During the Civil Rights movement of the 60's President Lyndon Johnson reminded us...
George Washington's Farewell Address
AuthorGeorge Washington
ISBN1557094543
Read in The Constitution of the United States of America and Selected Writings of the Founding Fathers.

Five stars for content, but I had some problems with it so it's getting three instead. Today is the 220th anniversary of this being published in newspapers across the country (though my book...
