KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Last night at book group we discussed

We talked and wondered about how the holocaust happened. Did the average German understand what was really going on? How can we make sure something like this never happens again. We decided that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Leaders like Hitler take advantage of the uneducated and uninformed. It is proven that people follow people and jump onto bandwagons even when it doesn't make sense or there is pain. I have decided to start paying better attention to what is going on in our country. I don't want to wake up one day and realize that America changed while I was busy changing diapers. We owe it to our children to pay attention. To teach them about America and the principals this great Nation was founded on. If we don't teach them how will they know? I would like to recommend books here on this site that will help us learn and inform those around us of truth. We owe it to all the great men and woman who have died for this country to be informed! Glenn Beck is trying to do what he can to unite people who believe in the traditional values of America. Read about what these values are and send him your picture if they are values you live by! We cannot afford to be ignorant now! Knowledge is power! Now for all you who are thinking..."she has gone looney", I have a question for you. Since when does America vote on bills without first studying and debating the context of the bill? I am not the smartest when it comes to the way our government works but this is just beyond logical. Especially when it involves putting America and the future of America (our children) in so much debt.
P.S. No I am not saying that Barack is Hitler or that he is going to start a holocaust. I am saying lets be informed about whats going on. Anyone have any good books to recommend?

I just finished reading this book. I love the risks this family was willing to take. My resolution...make sure my soul is "light and soft"...no matter what I push against... like Papa Hubermans.
