Post-Nationalism: George W. Bush as President of the World (Paperback)

~ Brad Linaweaver (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Post-Nationalism: George W. Bush as President of the World is a call to arms for conservatives and libertarians who are sick and tired of the neo-conservative takeover of the American Right. The most controversial aspect of this broadside is that the author questions the patriotism of these cheerleaders for an endless War on Terror. Award-winning author Brad Linaweaver convincingly urges Americans to support the troops but oppose the destabilizing foreign policy of the neo-cons. Linaweaver joins a growing political movement with the resurrection of New Isolationist, a publication of the late Samuel Edward Konkin III on which Brad served as contributing editor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A libertarian's clarion call for real national defense, December 30, 2006

By	J Neil Schulman (Culver City, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the substance of Brad Linaweasver's book, which stated baldly comes down to a few basic areas:

1) The United States should have a foreign/defense policy which places the interests of the American people -- and their constitutional republic -- first.

2) This foreign/defense policy should be able to be stated in plain English understandable by a public middle school graduate -- an extremely low standard these days.

3) This foreign/defense policy should not be a classified state secret.

4) The President of the United States should not only speak straight and not dissemble, but he should also be consistent and actually have some sense that his words will resonate through history. A thorough understanding of the rhetorical virtues of Winston Churchill is a job requirement. A creative talent for rhetoric is not required -- that can be hired. A good enough ear to be able to tell good rhetoric from bad is, however, vital.

5) If Barry Goldwater had won the 1964 election, we wouldn't be in this Godawful mess today.

Like Brad himself, Brad's book is a work in progress. But Brad's strength lies in his wit and unwillingness to accept the half baked in either politics or art.

Ronald Reagan once spent one of his radio addresses quoting extensively from one of Brad's earliest articles, and praised Brad with the words, "How right he is."

Double entendre intended, today's Republican leadership would do well to take up where Mr. Reagan left off, and hire Brad as one of their most valuable and astute political consulants.
