This review is from: The America I Once Knew-Vanishing But Not Forgotten: A World War II Veteran Takes a Critical View of the Foibles of American Society (Paperback)

Alright, Listen up folks! If you're sick of the Commie pinkos and left wing dopers trying to steal our country, you can take heart by reading this World War II veteran's fine book. You will find a series of essays that will entertain, enlighten and stir your soul to action. I believe that Chuck Salm speaks well for the majority of World War II vets and other patriotic Americans who are sick and tired of hack politicians abusing our laws and our freedoms. In his book, you will find a blend of humor, sarcasm and just the right tell-it-like-it-is toughness to hammer his points home. If you're looking for cutsie political correctness that strives to keep from offending champions of illegal immigration, sell-out liberal judges or incompetent school administrators, you just walked into a buzzsaw!

You may have read Sean Hannity's "Let Freedom Ring" and Michael Savage's "The Savage Nation". Those are great books of today, but you haven't rounded out your appreciation for the greatness of America and how to pull the fat out of the fire to save our great nation until you've read the third book in this exciting trilogy, "The America I Once Knew - Vanishing But Not Forgotten".
