Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America
Chuck Norris says, "Black Belt Patriotism is my
critique of what is destroying our country, and offers
my solutions for rebuilding America and restoring the
American dream. It's 'black belt' in the sense that it
is strong, resolute and to the point, like a roundhouse
kick. It's 'patriotic' in the sense that it recaptures
the vision of America's Founding Fathers. I wrote this
book in the hope that future generations of Americans
can continue to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.

our nation, giving these ladies of liberty the
