Books: “The Courage to Be Free” (2023) – Ron DeSantis

Posted By on May 10, 2023

My library borrowing and Kindle game caught up with me this week as the book I borrowed, “Metathreats,”  (and was in the middle of reading) expired … but because I have been The Courage to Be Free - Ron DeSantiskeeping my Kindle in “Airplane Mode,” I continued reading. Generally I can’t finish a book without renewing so will often put my Kindle in Airplane Mode so it stay in my device — tip it works until you forget.

Anyway, the Ron DeSantis book that I’ve had on hold in my local library since January became available and so I excitedly downloaded it to my Kindle — therefore removing the book I was in the middle of reading. Unfortunately “Megathreats” is not available to borrow in order to finish, so it is back on hold again. Ugh … cheapskate Rich should just buy the books. 😉 

So this past weekend I’ve started reading “The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for Americas’s Revival” and immediately recognize that Governor Ron DeSantis has the leadership traits that many in America are searching for … me included. Oh I’m sure like every politician, there’s plenty to complain about … too young, too conservative, too hard-nosed and likely in direct competition with former President Trump for the Republican nomination. All that aside, if he “were” elected and “could” manage to deal with the swamp that is Washington DC and embedded corrupt lifers who wield power, America would have a far better chance to be ashining city on a hill once again. 

Hopefully I get through this book before it needs to be returned … perhaps I should set to “Airplane Mode” just in case?
