Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us ... and What to Do About It

It is always good to study both sides of current issues.After reading
Mr. Morris's book, I fear that the mindless masses who believed the print media and the big three TV news channels have been brain washed once again. The vicious circle of poorly educated people who tend to vote for personalities rather than purposeful politicians, the dumbing down of our schools led by leftwing teachers and politicians has become a neverending cycle of discontent for those of us who listen to both sides of an issue and vote for the one more in line with our own core beliefs.
Until we reform our education system to teach students to consider both sides of an issue, and not be suppressed by "left-wing one sided" teachers,this country will continue spiraling out of control and our country will no longer resemble what the founding fathers intended.
Thank you,

a friend let me borrow this volume.
said it would fit in nicely with my 'philosophy'.
not that I believed everything I read here or anywhere else.
but the general idea is correct.
I can look at what is deducted from my paycheck everytime I am paid to know that I am getting the excrement end of the stick, so to speak.
and having a couple of relatives who are actual representatives and congressmen, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt there is some shady stuff.
all governments are like this.
but thats the point.
in the microcosm that is the usa, no one is fit to lead because from birth to adulthood many if not all of us learn how to deceive and to succeed at the expense of others. not all act on these all the time, but the more 'power' one holds , the more damaging these actions are.

Poor Dick. On the outside with the Clintons and the Democrats for some years and now a an old bitter and twisted mouthpiece for the Republican Party on Fox. This book reads like one of those 9/11 conspiracy blurbs and it is hilarious. Take a pill and have a lie down Dick. All this stress cannot be doing your heart any good whatsoever.

Why go into details about this trash!! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if it's stupid, but to publish such garbage, unbelievable!!
I'm glad that I borrowed it from someone else, who couldn't believe the crap that was written. We ripped the pages out together!!!

William Proxmire's tradition of Fleece Awards is seriously demeaned by this half-effort. Fleeced was accepted as public servant and politician misuse of taxpayer funds. Even with the subtitle suggesting this would be more than that it really does not show how the public is being fleeced Far too much is the author's unjustified predictions of federal actions under a president Obama which largely discounts Mr.Obama's actual statements. Another major part alleges that American people and corporations are supporting the terroist support activities of, largely, Iran. This section first buys into the Bush administration's fearmongering regarding the Iranian government without any investigation or justification and than proceeds to describe a variety of business activities which have no direct effects of terrorism support and which certainly have nothing to do with the American people being "fleeced" Finally, a great deal of the book describes various sales and business development activities of American lobbying firms with foreign governments. While it is certainly the desire of some of the foreign governments to fleece the American people by purchasing the expensive services, there is virtually no description of the actual inappropriate expenditures resulting from the lobbying activities bought. I should have been warned that a rant was coming by the subtitle rather than a fair and extensive investigation of the facts of fleecings.
