Hold on I'm Comin'

Why is it that men like Roger sause can see unvarnished reality for what it is while others, perhaps more credentialed from an academic point of view, engage in a continued adherence to a belief system that ignores critical analysis? Is this a genetic trait that resides in a particular lobe of the brain? The one where the ability to formulate proportionate judgements resides? With any luck the genetic decoding currently underway in the biogenetic community will shed light on this anomaly, but at the moment we are just left to wonder. Roger sause has written the most interesting book I've read since Balint Vazsonyi's "America's 30-Year War: Who's Winning". Whereas Vazsonyi comes to his criticisms of the Marxist ideology that permeates so many American institutions today, from the perspective of an immigrant who lived under its Totalitarian boot heel, Sause comes at it with the viewpoint of an Eric Hoffer'ish, street-wise Los Angeles musician. His language and prose are diametrically opposed to that of the poseur academic and many times more communicative. He has done his homework and his take on the big picture is "on the money". In unalloyed terminology he assails the fog of the socialistic ideology that has been foisted on this country's social policy by "progressive charlatan's". Rarely will you read such detailed historical reference written with such an enlightened information age perspicacity. This guy is exceptional as in "really good." Sause recounts how a high school teacher, an advocate of Marx with an anti-American slant, inculcated his political theories into Sause's personal worldview. This political and social policy assumption model was further reinforced thru Sause's living environment in the Los Angeles arts community, a hot bed of far Left radical thinking. Hollywood is a place where conservative views translate into "no work" so almost everyone in the arts is a reflexive, knee-jerk Leftist. For further confirmation of this read anything written by David Horowitz, a neo-conservative who lives and publishes there. Sause involves the reader in his personal odyssey as he relates how the street riots in south central L.A., the ostensible result of the Rodney King verdict, caused him to re-examine his pop-Marxist political views of society. To say that only emotional trauma changes behavior would be too trite in his case. The surge of his intellectual curiosity, brought on by the above crisis is Da Vinci-like with a nod too the considerable differences between soft science intellectuals and intellectuals adept at symbolic logic. Needless to say, I found Sause's insights and his ability to tie-in historical reference astounding. The culmination of this book resides in Sause's negatively critical view of our government's inadequacy as a provider of free education and health care. He profiles its sorry record of outcomes while linking its out of control costs. He predicts that the 3rd wave information revolution will bury the anach

blown away!

When I began reading this book I wanted to slap the author. By the time I was finished I wanted to hug and kiss him, and slap Hillary, Jesse, and Dick Gephardt Instead. As a pro choice, pro environment, pro free speech civil libertarian, I had always toed the line for the "liberal" Democratic Party. However, the irrefutable, fact-based (and often terrifying) arguments laid out in this book, expose the ugly truth that the once altruistic party of FDR and JFK has been hijacked by a mob of anachronistic left-wing extremists. A MUST READ FOR ALL CLASSICAL LIBERALS!

look both ways then cross to the right side of the street

sause lays a foundation for an entire civilization. not only does he lay a foundation, he clearly outlines the infrastructure necessary to surviving your educational and media influenced perceptions of reality. (don't believe you're influenced? take a look at the products in your house...)without being didactic, or uttering predictable rhetorical spasms usually employed by both sides of the political spectrum, sause uses concrete points of fact to express the cultural devices used to shape our culture. he masterfully articulates the scope of our human history, the paradigm shifts and identifies the relevant events and their direct influence on both our nation and the world at large.the aesthetic beauty of sause's work rests in two areas: his accessible language that expresses the heart of anyone who loves individualism and the arts and humanity. the other side of his beautiful work reveals the deep, mulitiple dimensions of our existence in the digital framework rapidly encroaching (dictating really) upon our very lives and relationships. by bringing emotionally charged realism based on personal experience together with psychologically sound intellectualism, sause introduces several universal truths back into their proper light: that the artist is the ultimate capitalist and more importantly, that intellectually honest artists are the most likely candidates to lead this culture when the autonomy enabled by the digital age becomes our civilizations standard mode of existense.he acknowledges the difficulty facing our current system when it comes to dispelling the media fed myths of "social and moral equivelancy". but, as he says in his sample chapter at [paraphrased] "[he] is not your typical country club conservative" in fact, it is true, you will have a difficult time identifying where his political leanings are - except where he presents them. But, his focus is so apparently apolitical that you become enraptured in the truth of the topics he discusses as they relate to your own inner thoughts and wonderings. it is a manifesto, but one that calls you to face the reality of the world we live in, and the very different one in which we are about to live.sause's work is truly a gift to his generation, his country, his industry, and ultimately to himself; for he brought his heart's artistic expressions together with his mind's intellectual honesty, thus enhancing himself and his ability to understand the world in which we now live.this book is not about politics, it's not about technology, it's not about revolution -- it's about you and the things you love and hold most dear - your life and those you love.until you read the pages of this manifesto and marvel the at the pearls of thoughts decorating this man's work, you can never claim you know what's really going on...get it and read it anyway you can, before you're left for dead!

People Should Pay Attention To This Writer

"Left for Dead" is one of the most compelling books I've read to date. It's hard-hitting but thoughtful and honest at the same time; Sause has a way of weaving poignant anecdotes into points he makes that make what he's saying so very clear to the reader. His observations are often from a pop culture point of view, giving them a certain "street cred" that many authors - particularly academics - tend to lack. The notion of the Information Age leaving the Left devastated in its wake is not one that has been fully or even well-explored until now; Sause delivers a powerful case for why this will come to pass in time. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in politics and the Information Age.

Incredible

This is the first non-fiction book I've read in a long time that I placed in the "can't put it down" category. In a nutshell, it was incredible, well-written, eye-opening, educational, and gutsy. I am sure that the book will really irritate a lot of leftists (I can hear the elisists on college campuses wailing as I write this), but the truth always hurts. I read the book after Sept. 11, 2001, and appreciated it even more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
