Summary

Praise for The Conscience of a Libertarian"Wayne Root is the anti-Obama. His book is a fast-paced read that reminds us of what has made and kept this country strong: free market principles, risk-taking, capitalism, and a deep-seated belief in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-not a government-guaranteed happiness based on bailouts, entitlements, stimulus, waste, welfare, and tax cuts for people who don't pay taxes. You want to save America and capitalism-read this book!" - Jerry Doyle, Nationally syndicated talk show host, The Jerry Doyle Show"Republican or Democrat? It seems no matter who wins, we lose. Only Wayne Allyn Root can save the USA from the morons, thieves, and frauds in Washington, D.C. He is our last best hope to lead a political revolution. Read this book to stop the insanity, to save our nation, to protect our freedom. None of the sex, violence, and profanity I usually read, but just as exciting, and more important to our future." -Mancow Muller, Nationally syndicated radio host, The Mancow Show"Wayne Allyn Root might just be the most powerful new voice for the cause of liberty in America. If every U.S. citizen would read The Conscience of a Libertarian, most of the power holders in Washington would be thrown out of office. In his trademark dynamic style, Root leaves no doubt that government is not the solution, but the problem." -Robert Ringer, Publisher, A Voice of Sanity in an Insane World and New York Times bestselling author, To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? and Looking Out for #1Wayne Allyn Root is one of the most charismatic, fiery, outspoken, and controversial political personalities in America today.
