Wake Up America: The Nine Virtues That Made Our Nation Great--and Why We Need Them More Than Ever PDF
The New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller!Grit, merit, providence, individualism, thriftâ and above all, pride in our country: These qualities, among others, are the reason that hundreds of millions of people worldwide look to America for hope, inspiration, and opportunity.but itâ 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 â œthe Fiveâ Eric Bolling calls a â œpolitically correct nanny state.â 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. Wake Up America identifies the nine core virtues of our nation and demonstrates why each one is so important to our history and our future. Itâ s time for us to wake up and heed the clear-cut warning signs that America is heading in the wrong direction--before weâ re too far gone. A celebration of America that is informed by Eric Bolling's personal story, Wake Up America is an urgent call to arms for America's citizens to preserve what makes us great.

And what's happening on
college campuses is mirrored in society at largeã   sensible policies & logical proposals are being labeled racist, misogynist, *phobic.what's going on? Have we as a nation gone insane? What's happening with America? Eric Bolling's new book "Wake Up America" gives us the answer:"thereã   s simply no mistaking it: American values are under attack. We face real threats from abroad, but thereã   s a more subtle danger that we often overlook: the collapse of the virtues that helped make this country great. They are precisely the pillars of our society that the Left knows they have to undermine in order to create their bleak, gray, egalitarian utopia." - Eric BollingThe collapse is due to the radical left (I call them the social justice warrior, or SJW Left), who are actively working through the media and academia to ridicule and demean those virtues that made America great. As Bolling puts it:"in their endeavor to radically reform American society, the socialist Left has used fear, shame, and class warfare to divide us. They recognize that doing so is essential to destroying the many qualities that have made America an exceptional nation since its founding."what are these virtues? Bolling lists them as: grit, profit, manliness, thrift, individuality, dominion, merit, pride, and providence. Each virtue is described in its own chapter and supported with historical examples, with recent data & news, with personal anecdotes, and with good-old-fashioned logic and common sense.of course you'll have to buy the book to learn the details of these virtues. But what's refreshing is that Eric has lived them and has used them to rise from poverty to being both a successful trader and a successful cable news pundit. (In case you didn't know, Eric Bolling hosts the number one rated Saturday Cable TV show "Cashin In", as well as The Five)In closing, 'President Ronald Reagan famously said that à  œfreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.ã   'Don't let this happen. Buy this book, understand the importance of the nine virtues, and vote to save them.#wakeupamericagrade: A++ The sad reality is that there are pathetic people who are so opposed to anyone getting excellent advice, like this book, they will give it trash reviews without even reading it.this book by Eric Bolling is a wonderful review of common-sense virtues that we seem to be losing in this country. Frankly, these are not only virtues for Americans, but would benefit almost every human being. The US government is constantly telling us we cannot make it on our own and therefore we need this bloated and powerful government to take care of us. This is baloney. Government never runs anything well.thomas Jefferson said, "The government is best which governs least." We should always bear this truth in mind whenever we vote for politicians and higher taxes. Excellent book and highly recommended!
Important book at a critical time. Eric is an American who cares about what is happening to his Country. The liberals continue to take steps to dismantle the fabric of America. The objective of D. Gray and E. Normus is simply to reduce the interest in this powerful book. They must be frightened bleeding heart liberals. Read this book and stay strong America! It was fascinating to read a book with such insight but it kind of scared me. Excellent analysis and easy to interpret (the parts I read). Didn't see any ego by the writer simply his thought provoking thoughts. Highly Recommend regardless of how ONE feels about the writer. I am looking forward to Eric signing my book on Saturday! Good for him for speaking his truth that so many agree with. The world tends to be a huge pendulum swing that has gone so far left common sense seems to no longer exist. Meanwhile we get stuck footing the bill emotionally, financially. The tide has begun to swing back and people are realizing how much the term "give an inch and they take a mile" really means. With everything that is going on in the world today, I can't think of a more appropriate time for Eric Bolling's "Wake Up America" to be relevant! The country is in trouble, especially if the super liberals keep attempting to call the shots with their agendas. The super liberals are offended by everything, and want nothing but free hand outs.on top of this, more so than ever, we are seeing a lack of pride in our country. With everything that's going on with this years election, I can't tell you how many things I have seen (like videos of people burning the US flag, waving the Mexican flag, and committing other signs of disrespect all WHILE LIVING HERE) that have made me feel like the country is in trouble.we CAN be great again, but we need to take action... and "Wake Up America" is a wonderful starting point!
