Norton is wry and sometimes a tad smartass, but his points are well taken. More Jon Stewart's America than Alistair Cooke's, but with a fierce and often funny point. Just the thing for the midterm elections.

Norton writes with clarity, force and acerbic wit. Further, his word pictures are priceless.

"Saving General Washington: The Right Wing Assault on America's Founding Principles" is a redemptive book for Americans who still believe in this promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is a reminder — as timely as it is necessary — that those of us who cherish freedom, equality and justice are patriots to the cause of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Paine.

After reading J.R. Norton's book, one could not help but come to the conclusion that if the Founding Fathers saw what George W. Bush was doing now, they'd spin in their graves fast enough to provide enough clean, safe energy for generations of Americans to come.

J.R. Norton is smart, witty, and wise beyond his years. I always thought he was the secret weapon of The Al Franken Show, and if you buy this book, you'll find out why.

Read Saving General Washington and discover real America patriotism amid our post-9/11 crises. J.R. Norton exhorts us to overthrow King George and his Corporate Cronies, reaffirming our radical revolutionary principles of democracy and freedom. Tom Paine rides again, and not a moment too soon.
