Everyone that knows me knows that I am a political junkie and therefore they think that I am some sort of genius when it comes to political books…..this review is of a book given to me by a friend because he knows of my efforts to disspell some of the hero worship of our Founding Fathers……

Political Incorrect Guide to The Founding Fathers by Brion McClanahan, Ph. D.

First of all this series is published by Regnery Publishing, Inc….a conservative group at best…..

About the author……is a well learned aficionado of  American History and of course he was born in Virginia…..he went to school in South Carolina, Maryland and now lives and writes from Alabama(a side note:  Phenix City Alabama use to be a huge speed trap town that screwed people with traffic tickets)……at best he is a loyal follower of the guys from Virginia who according to these people the sun rose and set on them and with them there would be NO US of A…..a conservative to say the least……

As a Virginian he made ev ery effort to show the anti-federalists in a bright light, people like Jefferson and Lee and Henry and in doing so took the time to try and paint the New Englanders as the elitists (sounds all too familiar these days)….he attempted to show that the Southern planters as the heroes that only wanted the best for the new country (a position which I do not agree with)…..

I will give him his props…..Dr. McClanahan wrote the book in a style that was easily read….it would give the average American could read and understand…..but with a noticeable conservative lean…if readers would read this book and then a book entitled “American Scripture” then they would have a good base to understand the beginnings of the United States of America……there is always more to the story than the flag waving cheerleading….unfortunately, Dr. McClanahan falls into the same BS that all conservatives fall into…..the Virginians saved the Union….
