Rockwell’s
Masterpiece

Speaking
of Liberty is a masterpiece: 470 pages of pure Rockwell.
This
is Rockwell at his best. The Rockwell who muffles "loud-mouthed"
statist, talk-show hosts. The Rockwell who turns commie environmentalists
green. The Rockwell all the neocons, from David Frum to Bill Bennett,
hate and fear. The Rockwell who is quick and funny and deadly
when tossed into the lion's den. The Rockwell who brings
a steel-edged consistency to the defense of liberty.
Speaking
of Liberty is pure Rockwell. The essays cover a huge diversity
of topics, but are united by a set of fixed principles: the corruption
of politics, the universality and immutability of the ideas of freedom,
the centrality of sound money and free enterprise, the moral imperative
of peace and trade, the importance of hope and tenacity in the struggle
for liberty, and the need for everyone to join the intellectual
fight.
What
an inspiring, thrilling, provocative, beautifully written work Speaking
of Liberty is. You must have a copy on your desk or bedside
table. But be sure to keep a yellow highlighter handy. And what
a good-looking book too. Its sewn signatures, sturdy binding, and
acid-free bright white paper, make it a work for the ages, just
like its contents.
Behind
my desk is a shelf stacked with books and pamphlets that comprise
my “Freedom Arsenal." These are classics, like Rothbard's What
Government Has Done To Our Money,” Henry Hazlitt's Economics
in One Lesson.” and Bastiat’s The
Law,” literature about the glories of liberty. When I encounter
inquiring minds, particularly youngsters, who need a jolt of liberty,
I give them something from my arsenal. Speaking of Liberty
will be a classic and I proudly add it to my “Freedom Arsenal.”
Speaking of Liberty is hot, smart and convincing. It can
make a real difference in the lives of friends and family, and for
our country. Help me get it out there.
