This was very popular at the last Klan rally I attended. Great conversation starter, I made lots of new friends! Everyone loved it and were saying how easy it was to read. Someone even said it was like Mein Kampf for dummies. You'd think a high school dropout couldn't write a real book and you'd be right, because this is just poems. I got it for free and it was worth every penny!

I am going to be short and to the point: I LOVED this! Patriotic writings from a talented author. Some of the poems are just beautiful and evocative, and everything is well-written. I especially enjoyed the poems about the sacrifices our soldiers have made for our freedoms, almost made me cry. If you love this country this is a must read. Thank you Kender!

This is a collection of poems, short stories, and thoughts surrounding the author’s view of our liberties and the danger we are facing by staying complacent on fighting for our rights as humans and Americans. This is not a book for the liberal minded but it is one they should read but probably won’t.
Although I’m not as right-winged as the author I did find myself agreeing with some of the thoughts provoked in this book. Sometimes it was just hard to read not because of the content or the style but because of the reality of the words. Which I’m pretty sure was the intention of the author.
I don’t normally read nor review these types of books because I don’t really like them. I can’t say, unfortunately, that this was an exception to that. I am glad, however, that the author talked me into looking at it and I have to say, too, that I wasn’t going to review it but I promised the author I would.
So my review is here for you-all to read. I found the book disturbing, as it was intended to be, and hard to read, again as intended. Not for the style of short story type but because I don’t want to be told that I’m complacent in my pursuit of my own liberties and that I’m standing by while someone else makes the decisions that endangers those liberties and that I’m still, after being told, not going to do anything to change it. Sad but true.

I got a glimpse of how some Americans thinks about the American way.
Fascinating!! And an opinionated one at that...

What a delightful little read this mix of essays and modern day limerick poems. I usually won't pick up a book that has poems but this had sarcastic humor and some food for thought. I found myself wanting to read a little faster so I could get to Kender's next poem for another chuckle. This book make you want to get off your butt and go vote after reading his views on current American affairs.
