From the Inside Flap

Obama has been a one-man wrecking ball


When it comes to our prosperity, our freedom tradition, and our constitutional government, President Barack Obama has been the great destroyer—knocking down the free-market economy and principles of limited government that have made America the envy of the world.


As New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh documents in chilling detail in his new book, The Great Destroyer, the Obama administration has waged a relentless, nearly four-year-long war to transform our nation into a country where federal bureaucrats have more power over our lives than we do; where leftist crony capitalism dependent on government subsidies is replacing the real thing; where, in an Orwellian inversion of meaning, a savagely weakened national defense somehow makes us stronger and trillions in deficit spending on counterproductive government “stimulus” and welfare programs somehow makes us richer.


Limbaugh unveils the reality behind the administration’s rhetoric. In The Great Destroyer you’ll learn:

• The true costs of Obama’s crony capitalism scandals—it’s even worse than you think
  
• How Obama spends our economy into oblivion while relentlessly demonizing those who try to stop the bleeding
  
• How the Obama administration has repeatedly, almost systematically, violated the Constitution to achieve its goals
  
• How the Obama administration has empowered shadowy unelected bureaucrats to determine how we live, and the successes they already have in doing that
  
• And much more …
  

In irrefutable detail, David Limbaugh, like a prosecuting attorney, makes his case that the Obama administration is a real and present danger to America’s future. There is no more comprehensive indictment of the Obama administration as it seeks re-election than The Great Destroyer. It is a book that every American worried about the future of our country must read.

From the Back Cover

Praise for The Great Destroyer


“My friend David Limbaugh has written the best book about the worst president in American history. If anyone reads this book and still votes for Barack Obama, he should have his head examined.”
—Mark Levin, nationally syndicated radio talk show host


“In The Great Destroyer, David Limbaugh shows how Barack Obama has plundered our nation’s finances, dismantled our defenses, trampled on our Constitution, and punctured the American dream. A must-read book on the Obama administration’s shameless pillaging of America.”
mdash;Sean Hannity, host of Hannity’s America


“The Great Destroyer reads like a terrific political thriller about an administration hell-bent on bankrupting its own nation and undermining its national security. The fact that it’s a true story about our own country should disturb and alarm every reader.”
—Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin and Kill Shot


“When the time comes to assess the finest historians of the Obama administration, top honors will likely go to an attorney and writer, David Limbaugh, whose Crimes Against Liberty set the standard for all future work. Now, Limbaugh is back with a sequel, The Great Destroyer. No one documents the case against Barack Obama with such organized sledge-hammer blows as David Limbaugh. In time, these two volumes will stand as the definitive story of a failed president and his corrupt ideas.”
—Larry Schweikart, co-author of A Patriot’s History of the United States


“A modern ‘Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,’ The Great Destroyer is not only a must read, it is a must read right now. Sharp, engaging, and right on the money, the White House and Team Obama are going to absolutely hate this book.”
—Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Black List

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Compelling June 7, 2012

By Frank Turek

Format:Hardcover

"Politics is fought between the forty yard lines," remarked Charles Krauthammer just after Obama was elected in 2008. Krauthammer is right about nearly everything, but his rule clearly warrants an exception when applied to Barack Obama and his administration. Attorney David Limbaugh shows why in this new book.

This is the second book in Limbaugh's very readable and insightful narrative of Barack Obama's Presidency. "The Great Destroyer" picks up where "Crimes Against Liberty" left off in 2010. Limbaugh meticulously narrates how the President has been striding to the liberal goal line with nearly every policy, appointment and statement since taking office. Almost without exception, Obama implements or supports policies that negate America's founding principles--individual liberty, limited government and the rule of law are among the casualties in the President's war on the Republic.

You say, "'War on the Republic.' That's a little strong, don't you think?"

You might think so until you read the book. I am a political junkie, but even I was shocked to see the extreme scope of Obama's anti-American assault.

"Oh, but this was written by a Limbaugh, and Limbaughs are well known for their conservatism."

If any liberal or so-called "independent" judgmentally dismisses The Great Destroyer simply because Limbaugh is a conservative, point out that people can present evidence objectively even if they personally are not neutral. First, neutral people rarely have the interest or expertise to write books! But more importantly, you can't dismiss what Limbaugh says simply because he supports conservative policies. That's a fallacy that cuts both ways--you'd have to dismiss everything Obama says because he supports liberal policies.... The truth is, everyone has political beliefs. The issue is not those beliefs, but the evidence one presents!

David Limbaugh presents a wealth of evidence that Barack Obama is inflicting unprecedented injuries on America and the liberties of its citizens. He does the work the mainstream media refuses to do. In addition to using neutral sources, such as the Congressional Budget Office for financial data, Limbaugh quotes several liberals, administration officials, and, of course, Barack Obama himself to make the irrefutable case that Obama's ultra-liberal positions are resulting in catastrophic negative effects for America. Unfortunately, his case is quite compelling.

"The Great Destroyer" is well organized by topic. Chapter headings include: The War on America, The War on Our Culture and Values, The War on the Economy, The War on Our Future, The War on Business, The War America's National Security, and several others. The book also includes several helpful charts that display, at a glance, the current and impending disaster known as Obama's economic policies.

Since "The Great Destroyer" is over 500 pages (including nearly 100 pages of endnotes), I can only summarize a few revelations that Limbaugh provides. These are from just two chapters of "The Great Destroyer".

From "The War on Values and Culture":

* In prepared remarks, Vice President Biden said he had no objections to China's forced abortion policy.

* With several new policies and edicts, Obama has ensured that federal funds are now paying for abortion. He is clearly the most pro-abortion president in history.

* Education Secretary Arne Duncan warned public school districts about blocking students from forming gay themed organizations.

* HHS administrator Pam Hyde declared, "Your federal government has finally come out of the closet in support of LGBT youth." HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, "I want to tell you, you have a friend in this administration, who will stand beside you each and every step along the way."

* Obama's HHS website promoted the idea that kids may "experiment" with homosexuality.

* The Obama Administration initially refused to publicize the results of their own study that abstinence education programs actually work.

* President Obama declared his support for "age-appropriate" sex education for kindergarteners.

* The survey of our military men and women about "Don't Ask Don't Tell" may have been a sham to mislead Congress--the executive report of the findings was written before the survey was actually taken!

* Attorney General Eric Holder and Obama appear to be in collusion in refusing to defend, and even attempting to overturn, democratically decided laws defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

* In July 2011, Holder ordered Banks to relax mortgage qualifications for the poor--the same insane policy that led to the housing crash in the first place!

* Obama's Justice Department refuses to prosecute several grievous injustices including video-taped voter intimidation by Black Panthers, and video-taped instances of potential sex trafficking, prostitution and underage abortions by Planned Parenthood.

* Obama not only lifted the ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research (which has yet to cure any human being of a disease), he rescinded President Bush's executive order to fund adult stem cell research (which has resulted in treating more than a hundred diseases and medical conditions). Obama is the "anti-science" president, not Bush!

* Obama's stance against the freedom of religious organizations to hire people with their values was so extreme that the Supreme Court ruled against him 9-0 (even Obama's own liberal appointees disagreed with him!).

From "The War on the Economy"

* Contrary to his claim to save or create 3.5 million jobs, Obama has actually lost almost 4.1 million jobs - a jobs deficit of 7.6 million.

* February 2012 was the worst one-month debt in U.S. history: $219 Billion (Bush's deficit for all of 2007 was less than that!).

* Four years in a row, Obama's deficits have or will be in excess of $1 trillion, dwarfing President Bush's deficits.

* Obama has added more to the debt in three plus years than Bush added in eight.

* Obama and his team have engaged in accounting gimmickry and unrealistic rosy predictions in an attempt to make their dismal plans look less dismal.

* New research into 108 national economies shows that government "stimulus" spending--staunchly advocated by Obama--tends to have a net negative effect on the economy.

* Despite promising not to raise taxes on those making less than $250,000 per year, ObamaCare will result in 17 new taxes or penalties that will burden all Americans.

* Costs for ObamaCare will be nearly double original estimates (and most of the program hasn't even started yet!).

* Despite the President promising that people could keep their current health insurance plan, multiple sources report that a majority will loose their current coverage under Obamacare.

* Union members comprise only 12 percent of all employees, but the Obama Administration has granted them 50.3 percent of all ObamaCare waivers. (By the way, if ObamaCare is such a good deal, why does anyone want a waiver?)

David Limbaugh provides more revelations in these two chapters and the other ten. You really need to get the book to appreciate the full breadth of the destruction--destruction that you are not going to hear from the mainstream media.

In the era of Obama, politics in America is no longer fought between the forty yard lines. Americans need to read The Great Destroyer to encourage enough voters to begin running the ball the other way--back to the principles that made America great. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Tricky Nickey is wrong June 4, 2012

By john g. weber

Format:Hardcover

This book gives all the facts on what Obama & company are doing to "fundamentally change America." Nickey suggests that those of us who oppose this movement toward communism move out of the country if Obama is reelected. Nickey can live now in the society that Obama & company envisions for us. I suggest you try Venezuela, Cuba or China for a couple of years and then tell us what you think. I know facts can be disturbing but if you still support this administration after reading this book well...nothing I say here will help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an amazing book. Cannot dispute facts! June 4, 2012

By gohomealive

Format:Hardcover

This is an excellent book full of facts. This book has very little to no opinions in it and is an excellent tool for people that want the real deal facts. I love the way the book reads and I am absolutely amazed that his approval rating is not in the teens. You can easily tell the person who gave this book a 1 star rating did not even read it. This book is full of facts. Just so that person knows...facts are something that can be verified by other sources. This book is full of them. I highly recommend it. I just bought another copy for my father-in-law for father's day.

Thank you David for a great book!
