NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Wildwood, MO, United States, 12/14/2009 - St. Louis Tea Party movement co-founder, Bill Hennessy, has released his new book "Zen Conservatism." Available now as ebook.

Borrowing the Zen practices of minimalism and focus, Hennessy helps conservatives channel their anger and concern into positive steps toward reclaiming liberty.

"After the 2008 elections, I realized that shouting alone was useless. I also realized that we on the right were fighting too many battles at once. So I started to write myself a letter, and that letter turned into this book."

Zen Conservative, the new book by St. Louis Tea Party leader Bill Hennessy, targets the millions of Americans who are fed up with government growth, regulatory intrusion, and unfathomable borrowing and spending in Washington, DC. But rather than just ratcheting up the volume, Hennessy's "Zen Conservatism" aims toward effectiveness. The book advances the 5-2-1 method Hennessy has used to help the St. Louis Tea Party stay focused, engaged, and effective in issues like the proposed takeover of healthcare, the cap and trade tax scheme, and the undue influence of Andy Stern's SEIU union.

Excerpt: "The hope Obama speaks of isn’t hope at all. It’s bondage. It’s bondage to the failed ideologies that we put down in the Cold War. It’s the failed and feeble idea that most people are incapable of making good decisions and doing the right thing. It’s a corollary to the belief that the few with intelligence and good judgment are corrupt and use their smarts to take advantage of the rest.

"I utterly refute this notion.

"If the world is divided into feeble-minded saints and intelligent crooks, then who among us is fit to protect the one from the other? If cognitive agility must manifest itself as cheating and stealing, then the do-gooders are either too stupid to achieve their noble ends or phonies feigning virtue to fool the masses."

From the publisher: Zen Conservatism (zenconservatism.com) helps you save the country by doing less. Learn how to focus on the most important things, how to protect yourself from the distractions the enemy poses. And, of course, you will learn how Bill Hennessy and others used these techniques to help make the St. Louis Tea Party one of the most effective conservative grassroots activism groups in the country.

The book is available as a downloadable ebook. The paperback will be announced later this week.
