review 1: Currently Reading------ So far I think Give Us Liberty by Dick Armey is a great book that relates the original tea party to the new one. The book explains the basics of the Republican view of society in a straight forward way. My favorite part of the book so far is how the author connects historical events to the modern events and corrects the mistakes former presidents had made. Dick Armey writes in a way so his book does not criticize the Democratic viewpoint but shows how the Republican Party thinks for the good of the American people. Each chapter of this book is a separate small story of a protest or quote, and each chapter is has its own meaning. This book also compares modern day polititions to the founding fathers. I think this book is a good book for people ... morethat want to learn about the political community and get in touch with the modern time political parties and each of their views on how America should operate. "This groundbreaking manifesto is essential reading for tea party activists-or any American seeking to understand what the Tea Party is fighting for and what's next for tea movement." I think the pictures of the protests included in the book are great so you can see the vast majority of tea party activists against the government spending too much money and raising taxes. Give Us Liberty has been a great book so far with lots of messages to the American citizens. I think this is a great book for middle schoolers and onwards. When reading this book I uncovered many great quotes. Many of these quotes were spoken by our country's fathers.1. George Washington 1789: "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government," "are justly considered as deeply , perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands fo the American people."2. Samuel Adams: "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen to set brush fires in people's mind's."
review 2: 2010:The birth of the Tea Party and a timely book to read about the difficulties our country is facing and the assault on our freedoms and liberty orchestrated by past and current administrations. 2014:This book is still relevant. Business as usual in Washington has only gotten worse. "This is a movement stirred into action not out of partisan bitterness but as a reaction to a government that has grown too large, spends too much money, and is interfering with American's freedoms. The principles of individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and constitutionally limited government are what define the Tea Party ethos......." less

I enjoyed this look at something that I think is a fundamental sea shift in conservative politics.
