<p>America was built on nine distinct virtues which shaped the character of our nation and made it great. Grit, manliness, individualism, merit, profit and providence, dominion over our environment, thrift, and above all pride in our country -- these qualities define us, and are the reason that hundreds of millions of people worldwide look to America for hope, inspiration, and opportunity.<br>But it's precisely these virtues that now are under attack by the radical Left of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and their followers. America as we know it is eroding before our eyes and becoming what Fox News Channel personality and co-host of &quot;The Five&quot; Eric Bolling calls a &quot;politically correct nanny state.&quot; The rewards for individual achievement and hard work, our basic constitutional rights, religious faith, national identity, and capitalism itself, are being replaced by a dangerous socialistic ideology that is the polar opposite of what our Founding Fathers intended America to be. <br>It's time for us to wake up and heed the clear-cut warning signs that America is heading in the wrong direction--before we're too far gone. Eric Bolling knows firsthand what makes America great. Raised in a struggling blue-collar family in Chicago, his parents showed him that hard work and firm values can get you far in life. Those values drove him as a young baseball player to being drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, then success as a New York Mercantile Exchange trader, and now his daily role on Fox News Channel. A celebration of America that is informed by Bolling's personal story, <i>Wake Up America</i> is a much-needed call to arms for America's citizens to preserve and protect our country's present and future.</p>

Wake up America: Great read

Wake Up America was a great read. Normally I fly through a book in a day or two, however, I made myself slow down and digest this book. The America he speaks of growing up in is the America that I grew up in. I related to his narrative. If you wanted it.... you worked for it. You had respect for your elders, neighbors, parents, teachers etc. It was an easier time and a happier time to grow up in. I was schooled in the sacrifices our earlier generations faced so that we could be free, we could prosper, we could soar. If you were gifted and talented in school, sports, etc. you were encouraged to excel! Everyone did not get a trophy. If you were naughty, you were dealt with accordingly. We didn't sit around in "circle time" to "discuss our feelings". School was for learning, the emotions were dealt with at home, by the parents. Today's America, that he speaks of is a cesspool of garbage. A government that you cannot trust, lies in the Media, lack of expectations to succeed, College Education that is so expensive that the bill is the size of a house mortgage that takes 30 years to pay off for the normal American. To top that off, the jobs are not available to pay for the debt incurred for education. Terrorism, hatred, intolerance, elitism, entitlement, ignorance, etc. upfront and personal on the TV all hours of the day. Schools filled with a liberal agenda that is fed to our primary and secondary school children to indoctrinate them into the "the government will do it for you" mentality. You do not have to think for yourself because we know what is best for you. Thank you Eric for writing such an eye opening book. I wish you the best of luck. Love The Five and cannot wait until your next book to comes out. Read more
