YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE GOVERNMENT

We shrug off this fact as an unfortunate reality. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether our politicians bend the truth here and there?

When the truth is traded for lies, our freedoms are diminished and don't return.

In Lies the Government Told You, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano reveals how America's freedom, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, has been forfeited by a government more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve our individual liberties.

"Judge Napolitano's tremendous knowledge of American law, history, and politics, as well as his passion for freedom, shines through in Lies the Government Told You, as he details how throughout American history, politicians and government officials have betrayed the ideals of personal liberty and limited government."

-Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX), from the Foreword

About the Author

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is Fox News Channel's senior judicial analyst, currently seen by millions of viewers weeknights on The Big Story and The O'Reilly Factor. Napolitano is the youngest person in New Jersey history to receive a lifetime judgeship. He is bright (graduate of Princeton and Notre Dame Law School), articulate (four times voted most outstanding professor at the two law schools at which he taught), and broadcast-experienced (as a daily fixture on Fox News Channel since 1998). He is the author of Constitutional Chaos and The Constitution In Exile.

I've been a big fan of Judge Napolitano's for many years now. He's been a fascinating legal consultant on many main stream media programs and he's been a great guest speaker at places like the Mises Institute. He's a radical former judge from New Jersey in the sense that he maintains an original reading of the Constitution and knows the history behind those readings.

In this book, he does what he does best. He takes a look at many of the legal cases of the pat 250+ years of America and applies the original understanding of the Constitution to them. The "lies" in this book come from common sayings we hear about from politicians. Judge Napolitano draws from legal cases and the play out of American history to show that most of the sayings are mere platitudes. I have to say that this book was a great read because of several reasons. First, he covers so many subjects and many of them might sound difficult to dispute the original saying (aka "lie") as there are many of them that cover legal aspects. He does a great job of stating not only the legal ruling reason but what the real legal ruling should have been and what the moral backing for it should have been. Another reason this was so great was because he communicated well the natural law ideology. He doesn't make it a left vs. right divide but he condemns both political parties and applies what the original ideology of the Framers of the Constitution would have been. I would be nitpicking to say that his coverage on slavery was a little light and since he covers it first I was nervous that the rest of the book might not be as deep. Not so. Judge Napolitano's voice can be heard throughout this book and so many lines and cases were very familiar.

This is a great book covering an originalist's understanding of the Constitution, of historical legal rulings, and of common rhetoric we take for granted as "truth". Final Grade - A

Great read. Every fact is cited in the back so you can verify.

I've read a few of Judge Napolitano's books. They are always well written and informative. I consider myself to be above average in knowledge about history. I always learn something I didn't know when I read his works. This was no exception. I think that if you want to know something about your government that you didn't know before read this book. Every fact that he tells you he gives a citation in the back and you can verify what he says is true by checking it yourself.

Thank you, Judge Andrew Napolitano for this incredible book. It appeals to people of the left, right, and Liberty persuasions. It helps the average person to realize he is not free, because so many sacred American principles have been violated. At a recent political meeting, I recommended this book, and someone asked me, "How thick is it?" Meaning, "Just how much does the government lie to us?" I spread my fingers about 1 and 1/2 inches, and said, "But he just covered the basics!" No doubt the Judge could have written more.

I liked Chapter Two on inalienable rights, and that The Judge used Kelo vs. New London as an example. It's amazing how few people understand this case and its meaning. Government has turned property rights into privileges on the government's terms. Lie #8 about the Fed is another very good chapter: "The Federal Reserve shall be controlled by Congress". Yeah, right. I remember the series of events when We the People demanded a full audit of the Federal Reserve, and watched in horror as the Senators gutted the bill in secret and with procedural motions (failure to recommit, so that they could pretend they voted for it if it comes up later.)

Another good chapter is Chapter #17: America has a free market. HA HA HA HA, that's a good one. Where to begin? Every market today is rigged. There are no free markets anymore, only interventions. Stocks, bonds, commodities, interest rates (the price of money), derivatives, real estate, health care, automobiles...you name it, government and large corporations are colluding to ensure markets aren't free.

I could go on and on, but this is simply an excellent book, and very useful at shattering myths that the uninformed believe. Many people in our Campaign for Liberty chapter read and enjoy this book. Break the Matrix and buy it! And go Ron Paul!

Why Accept Slavery So Willingly?

March 24, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Both major parties believe in big government, as do many, if not the majority, voters. Both parties believe that a few powerful people, elected and not elected, should control government and choices available to citizens.

You can believe in big government and still come away from reading this book wondering why voters should put up with being lied to by President after President - as well as members of Congress. Why do we put up with having our loved ones killed in war after war for the benefit of the rich? Why do we let Congress and our courts deprive us of our rights? The "why" questions this book does not answer. This book simply presents facts for the reader's consideration.

In a four page "Conclusion" a clear blueprint is given for the way to restore our liberty. If nothing else go to a library and read the conclusion and get involved.

We can continue, this year, to elect liars or those who speak the truth. We can elect individuals who actually believe voters should be free to make decisions for themselves rather than having the government decide what is best for us. If you read this book you will at least understand you are making a choice.

Reading this book exposes just some of the lies those in power have used to get voters to do the will of the powerful. Even if one were to agree with the objectives of our leaders it would be nice if they would tell us the truth. Voters are so complacent that the truth would probably not hurt those in power as voters will go along with anything the media sells them.

It may not be long before books such as this will be considered illegal.
