Synopsis

DOES THE GOVERNMENT EXIST TO SERVE US OR TO MASTER US?If the government exists to serve us, and if freedom is part of our humanity, how can the government take freedom from us?  Is human freedom in America a myth, or is it reality?  The United States of America was born out of a bloody revolt against tyranny.  Yet almost from its inception, the government here has suppressed liberty.  Within the pages of It Is Dangerous To Be Right When The Government Is Wrong, New York Times best-selling author Judge Andrew P. Napolitano lays out the case that the U.S. government, whose first obligation is to protect and preserve individual freedoms, actually does neither.The judge offers eye-opening, sometimes frightening examples of how, time and again, the human liberties we are guaranteed in the Constitution are vanishing before our eyes.  He asks: where does freedom come from?  How can government in America exercise power that the people have not given to it? What forces have collaborated to destroy personal freedom? This back-to-basics on freedom addresses hard questions:What is a Constitution, and do we still have one?What are the limits to government power in a free society?Why does the government attack, rather than defend, our rights?If our rights are inalienable, how can the government take them away?Do we really own any private property?America is at a fundamental crossroads.  There are stirrings in the land and a cry that "enough is enough."  The stories within this audiobook are told to help reawaken the natural human thirst for freedom-to point out government interference with natural order and the disastrous consequences that follow.

Goodreads review by Annie on November 30, 2011

He's a judge and a legal scholar, so the writing style is a bit dry. The material is well-argued and he brings up so many interesting points -- whether or not you agree with the Libertarian party or not, give it a read. Makes you think!......more

Goodreads review by Emily on October 24, 2011

I'm on the fence about this book. I really like the Judge's opinions and viewpoints. However, his writing style is almost too dry for me. He provides quite a few facts along with his opinions, but he does not provide the information in an exciting, easy-to-read format. Therefore, while I enjoyed lea......more

Goodreads review by John on September 20, 2018

Judge Napolitano presents an enlightened take on personal liberty and it's erosion under government action. It's written in his direct speaking style, in which he builds his explanations methodically, supporting each point and illustrating with clear examples - the way you would think a legal mind w......more
