Item description from seller

As new condition blue gray boards with silver spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Notes and Acknowledgments. A 1/2 inch repaired closed tear at lower right front jacket edge; the jacket is otherwise in as new condition (see photographs). "I'm conservative. I believe in the power of the individual. I'm a freethinker, and I love my country. Yes, I'm also black, but that fact has nothing to do with my belief in limited government. I don't like President Barack Obama's progressive politices and his administration's spending habits. But some people apparently think that my economic concerns shouldn't supersede my racial allegiance. Nobody wants to be told they're racist simply because they are too conservative to buy into Obama's policies. People are too nervous to speak out, so I'm speaking out for them. We need change. We really do. We just can't afford the kind that Obama and the Washington elites are currently advocation." - Deneen Borelli, from the rear outer jacket. "This country is at a crossroads. We can either reverse direction or nosedive into a cycle of dependency that is turning America into a welfare nation - a "government plantation" where the underclass are doomed to 21st-century servitude. Now, Deneen Borelli, one of the most visible and outspoken black conservatives in the country, is fighting back - taking action, not just talking - and speaking up for those who can't or are too afraid to do so. Borelli's argument is a solid one: the problem begins with President Barack Obama, whose policy overreach has frozen racial tensions in this country when he should have been thawing them. The Left, having introduced the race card to defend Obama from the massive unpopularity of his policies, has turned a blind eye to the leadership failures that have spread down through black career politicians - traitors to minority success - who are causing a cycle of oppression in America: specifically Charles Rangel, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, each of whom has enriched himself at the expense of his community. Borelli also challenges the ninety-five percent of the black Americans who voted for Obama without caring about or vetting his dangerous politics. Borelli doesn't stop there. She speaks out against the elites and crony capitalists who drive expensive government policies such as needless green initiatives and ObamaCare. She exposes government regulation and the NAACP as nothing more than a liberal front group. She points out each grave flaw in the current administration, big government, unions, and special interest groups. She demands that new black leaders abandon the false rhetoric and inexusable lies of so-called progressive politics. She asks the question that people of all colors are afraid to ask, and delivers the honest, unyielding, and controversial answers that have made her the favorite of the left-wing firing squad. Today, with taking a stand against Obama, comes the fear of being called a racist. There is no fear in Deneen Borelli. Her outspoken voice gives everyone the courage and ammunition needed to stand up against destructive progressive tyrants. She is a brave critic, bold and proactive - not reactive. Hers is a story a lot of people don't want to hear - no matter how firmly they believe it to be true. Deneen Borelli is here to ignite a fire in independent-minded Americans. Blacklash is the fuse." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Store description

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
