Publisher's summary

In A Nation of Sheep, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.

Judge Napolitano reminds listeners what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are you, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms?

Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging listeners to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks:

• Why is the government using the War on Terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?
• Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?
• What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?
• Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?
• Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?
• Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

The HONORABLE Judge Andrew Napolitano

Judge Napolitano is a true Patriot, I was previously unaware of his satisfying genuine and authentic character, he is an impressive individual and it was my sincere pleasure and privilege to read and THOROUGHLY enjoy his stark and alarming words. the Judge communicates the facts of the matter, good and bad, flattering and not so flattering, I have not seen such remarkable consistency and coherent principled humanity in an individual at any level of the notoriety ladder. Judge Napolitano, God Bless you sir, your words chilled me to the bone, but I'd rather be cold than ignorant. THANK YOU, AGAIN, you're an American Treasure sir!

A Harrowing Peek into US Tyranny, poor analogy.

A fantastic book showing the ever increasing despotism of the state since 2001. However, i seriously dislike the wolf/sheep analogy throughout the book, as i find it cringe-inducing and that it entirely misses the predator/prey relationship between wolves and sheep.
