Can you tell what the books are? video’s not very clear and he’s more interested in the bumper stickers.

The book is The Essential Liberty.

Which is sponsored by The Patriot Post.

Which is run by Mark M. Alexander.

Who wrote a screed called “The Lincoln Legacy Revisited.”

In which he said:

So the ‘history’ that we have been continually fed, is anything but the actual truth or events as they REALLY transpired ! One of the perks of being the one in power, is that you get to be the one who says what ‘history’ would be written. Lincoln took full advantage of this perk !! In truth, if the REAL Lincoln were the one we knew about, read about, and had in our history books, instead of the invented one, he would NOT be so honored, praised, and well respected as the Lincoln we are told of today and that has been in our public school history books.

One of his online bios shows the following:

Alexander’s heritage is Scots-Irish, but he detests “hyphenated Americanism.” His is among the “First Families” of Tennessee, having settled in East Tennessee prior to statehood (1796). He is the product of a proud military legacy, including veterans of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the War Between the States (the “right” side of each, of course).
