Lies the Government told you by Judge Andrew P Napolitano

Note of thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing me for free with a Copy of this book for review!

"Lies the Government told you" by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, is not my regular fare of reading material, but the Title of the Book intrigued me greatly. I was not disappointed in the least.

It may not have come as a surprise to me or millions of other People that the Government tells us lies, but I had no Idea just how deep seated and "common" those Lies truly were until I read this book.

Evenso you do not necessarily need a Law Degree to understand the wordings, since Mr. Naplitano does an excellent job explaining things, I found reading the entire book a little difficult. You simply find yourself so sucked into a topic he is explaining, that you may suddenly get curious to do some of your own research as well, and so find yourself hindered in continuing on.

During the current times of just about everything being regulated including what we eat or use for medicine I found Lie #7 on Page 120 a rather eye opening statement.
"Your Body is your Temple"

Quote: If we do not have control over our own bodies, we have control over little else. If anything belongs to us, reason would tell us the thing we enter into and leave this world with - our body - belongs to each of us. Everything we do, our thoughts, our speech, our movements, and all physical actions, come from our bodies. Therefore, having control over our bodies is one oft the most fundamental rights we can possess." End Quote Page 120

Now as Mr. Napolitano shows over the following pages, obviously the Government does not seem to see it this way and gives us case after case to showcase the hypocrisy of the statements of freedom.

That is only the tip of the Iceburg however, over Chapter after Chapter he takes apart statements and supposable rights we as Citizens have and case after case which proofs that in actuality our rights are being infringed on daily. He is not just giving us his opinions, but actually shows us solid proof via court cases and statements made by Justices.

If you are at all interested in Law, or in history, I would suggest this book is for you.

I give this book a 4 out of 5 Stars.
