Synopsis:
"Responsible. Independent. Hard-working. These are the
qualities which used to define Americans. But now we’re a nation
of whiners, blamers, and excuse-makers."
So says Michael Graham—radio talk show host, former GOP
campaign consultant, and journalist—in his new book, That’s No
Angry Mob, That’s My Mom.
Graham taps into the frustration and anxiety felt by hundreds of
thousands of taxpayers at Tea Parties nationwide. Frustration
that the government is taking over our lives; punishing success
while rewarding failure; and fostering a society of Americans who
don’t take responsibility for their actions and then expect the
government—and their fellow citizens—to pick up the bill.
Known for his searing wit and controversial comments, Graham
also explains who the tea party “activists” really are: ordinary,
everyday citizens pushed into action by the threat
of higher taxes and increased government intrusion.
Tackling everything from the economy and education to health
care and the housing market, Graham argues that it’s
up to us to take control back from the government bureaucrats
and to restore the home-spun values of hard work, fair play, and
individual responsibility. That’s No Angry Mob, That’s
My Mom shows us how.

“This book is for every typical American who’s been insulted,
attacked, and abused by the liberal media just for showing up at
a tea party or town hall meeting. Michael Graham uses his wit
and humor like a club to give the Arrogant Left the beat down
they deserve.” ***** —Glenn Beck.
“Michael Graham is a strange and twisted man—but in a good
way. In this fast-paced, clear-eyed, and funny book, he plows
through the spin, lies, and slander hurled at tea-partiers, talk
radio listeners, and other typical Americans. It’s Howard (“I’m
mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”) Beale meets
P. J. O’Rourke with a dash of Tom Sowell thrown in for good
measure.” *****—Jonah Goldberg Editor-at-Large of National
Review Online
“Michael Graham has authored a hilarious harangue on behalf of
the millions of Americans who don’t ‘know their place,’ who still
think that what they earn should be theirs, and who don’t trust
politicians. It’s also likely to be a call to action. Hang on—it’s going
to be a bumpy ride!” *****—Glenn Reynolds
