Praise for The War on Success

“This powerful, fast-moving book will inform and infuriate you, opening your eyes to the danger of unrestrained government growth.”
—Brian Tracy, author of The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success

“Today, people are starved for a positive perspective about success and the American Dream. The War on Success is not only that message, it is the truth. If you are not inspired to action by Tommy’s words, you have already surrendered to the enemies of success. I have not surrendered.”
—Herman Cain, host of The New Herman Cain Show

5.0 out of 5 stars God Is Not a Socialist!, February 4, 2010
This review is from: The War On Success: How the Obama Agenda Is Shattering the American Dream (Hardcover)

The War on Success is an exceptional read for several reasons. First, it is all about the principles that have made America the greatest nation ever. The second chapter outlines America's greatness, including its character, its personality, its free-market, and its generosity. No apologies from Newberry in this chapter. It also lays out ten steps for weakening our nation. While these steps are very funny, they are also very scary because most are already in the process of becoming a reality.

Next, the book is exceptional because Newberry emphasizes the principles that produce individual success and demonstrates how those individual principles fit with the Founder's principles for our country. When you read this book, you recapture the vision the Founders must certainly have had for nurturing a virtuous citizenry. The book is also exceptional because the author does not minimize the role of God and faith in the heritage and culture of our nation. Newberry neither exaggerates this role nor does he down play it. He just bluntly tells it like it is as is his style throughout the book. The chapter entitled "God is Not a Socialist" is the most powerful part of the book because it connects the Biblical principles to free market principles and the development of individual character. It is worth buying the book just for this chapter!

The book is also exceptional because it paints a clear contrast between the collectivist mindset of the Obama administration and the individualist mindset of our Founding Fathers. This is highlighted in a sidebar in the final chapter called "Let's Roll" and is much like an executive summary of the key differences between "social-progressives" and those who believe in the sanctity of individual rights granted by God.

This book is well researched, easy for anyone to read, and the perfect thought stimulator for the economic and cultural mess we find ourselves in today. It will provoke great debate and should be read by all who consider themselves to be "intellectually honest."

Highly Recommended!

This review is from: The War On Success: How the Obama Agenda Is Shattering the American Dream (Hardcover)
Newberry does a fabulous job exposing Obama's real agenda. And here's a hint. It is not to advance the US Economic Engine. Read the book!
