Somebody Had to Say It

by J. P. Travis

Publisher: Travelyn

Product Description:

It's easy, of course, to be right when documented facts are readily available and you do your homework and the subject is mundane—easy for everyone except Jim Acosta, that is—but sometimes documentation is sparse and the subject is abstruse and arriving at the truth requires reasoned application of a valid worldview. Notice the word "valid"—either your paradigm works or it does not, as Robert M. Pirsig would say. This book comprises the opinion columns of J.P. Travis as posted on the website JPAttitude.com from the first one on February 4, 2007, to the last one on March 22, 2016—just over nine years of "interesting times" straight out of a Chinese curse (otherwise known as the Obama candidacy and presidency). Here in the book these opinion columns are arranged into chapters based on subject matter and each chapter is introduced by J.P. himself with background, explanations, and assorted inside dope.

The twenty-two chapter titles: Global Warming, Education, Evolution, War on terror, Judicial system, Hollywood, Media bias, Obama, Healthcare, Democrats, RINOs, Democracy in the United States, Political philosophy, Immigration, Race, Spirituality, Numbers, Leftwing science, Family & personal, Website business, Miscellaneous conjecture, Predictions.

So why publish a book of opinion columns that are already available on the Internet? Some might call such an effort quixotic (and those are the polite people). But there is a reason: this book will serve as a reminder of what, sadly, is already a bygone era, before censorship of the Internet had largely silenced the conservative side of the political debate. This is what the Internet used to look like... only a decade ago. This is what it should be again if we value individual liberty. This is one of the voices that Big Tech censorship efforts eventually drove away, to be replaced by the monolithic, shrill, supercilious, uneducated, morally-blind, propaganda screeches of the mainstream Fake News media—in other words, before we took an ominous step backward, returning to the way it was before the Internet.
