Wake Up America Paperback – June 27, 2017

Wake Up America by Eric Bolling is one of the best best books I have read in a long time. It is organized around 9 key principles which are being constantly undermined by Leftists, our educational institutions with their so-called need for safe zones and Leftist professors, and political elites that are more interested in their own gain rather than what is good for our country. Eric does a great job of identifying and explaining these 9 principles, and bringing them to us at a level we all can understand. He draws on his own life experiences to make his points, and to make the book very real. There is no doubt after reading this book that our American system of government is under constant attack not just from outside adversaries, but from within as well. The scary thing is that the attack from within is succeeding. Everyone of high school age and above needs to read this book in order to understand what this country has stood for, why we are unique, and what we must do to stop the constant erosion of our way of life. A Great Job by Eric Bolling. I hope to be able to read more books by him in the future.

One of the best books I have read in a long time. I can relate to many points Eric Bolling has mentioned. Such as coming from a poor family, going to school with holes in my shoes, not having any money for many things, but still worked hard, went to school, didn't take handouts, strong belief in God, been married for 54 years to a wonderful man who was a strong military veteran. The nine virtues not only made our nation great, but makes everyone strong. I still tear up at the singing of the national anthem, pledge of allegiance, praying or singing the Lord's Prayer, etc. It is disheartening to hear and see what is happening in this country whether in our schools, in political parties /government, or in the religious communities. May God be merciful to us and the people in this country "wake up".3 cheers for the "Five"!!!

I don't normally read non-fiction but I like Bolling and was compelled to find out more about his background. I particularly liked the beginning of the book and agreed with most of its tenets, however I am not as conservative as the author so I respect him and his 9 Virtues, I don't necessarily agree with all of them. I think it is an important book for readers but would be most helpful for those who would never read a book written by a Catholic, FOX News personality and may therfore miss its target audience. I found his writing to sometimes be humorous and I have no doubt that he wrote it himself without a ghost writer. This is evident in the language pattern throughout. As a professional writer myself, I look for such things.I was disappointed that there were so many references throughout the book and then no notations at the end substantiation the references but I understand that in the age of changing data, information may become obsolete by the time a book like this is completed.Good read and background to the world we live in.

As a conservative professor I'm horrified with what's happening on college campuses: cries for safe spaces, screams of micro aggressions, demands for trigger warnings. And what's happening on college campuses is mirrored in society at large—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:"There’s simply no mistaking it: American values are under attack. We face real threats from abroad, but there’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 “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”'Don't let this happen. Buy this book, understand the importance of the nine virtues, and vote to save them.#WakeUpAmericaGrade: A++

Wake up America is an intriguing book. The author wrote some facts of his own life that pave the way to his adult life. At the same time, he wrote about some present tendencies and correctness speeches that are hovering USA and from his point of view, could undermine values inherited from the Founders. He listed 9 values: grit, profit, manliness, thrift, individuality, dominion, merit, pride, and providence. Frankly speaking I do not agree 100 percent with his views, but, could say that the book shakes you inside out on some matters. In others, it makes you laugh out loud. Sincerely, I recommend this book. Well written Eric.
