In Flaming Moderate, Bo Roberts offers a compelling examination of politics, social issues, and the current state of affairs in the USA. He delves into the preservation of core American values, contrasting historical practices with contemporary trends. Roberts addresses recent developments and the threat of violence associated with Trump supporters within the Republican Party and explores various topics specific to Tennessee. These include proposed changes to Tennessee’s constitution regarding the transfer of powers in the case of an inactive governor and the pursuit of quality post-secondary education for the state’s students.

The book is enriched with Roberts’ personal stories and his insights on significant political moments, such as his encounter with the KKK and their violent actions against Sevier County’s education leaders. Through these narratives, Roberts emerges as a passionate advocate for fairness and ethical leadership. He tackles sensitive subjects head-on, speaking candidly about pressing issues in the US. His profound messages, like the observation that education “has been suffering from a lack of preferential treatment for decades,” inspire readers to consider the need for change.

Roberts’ skillful integration of historical and contemporary events provides valuable context, helping readers understand the urgent need for effective leadership. One striking revelation in the book is that the number of COVID-19 deaths in the US surpasses the total number of deaths in the US Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard during World War II. Adding a playful, artistic layer to the serious topics, Roberts references songs and musicians such as Tim Nichols and Tony Arata, as well as various song lyrics. He also highlights remarkable individuals, including Bob Corker, a Republican US Senator from Tennessee, described as “a fiercely independent, plain-spoken leader.”

Flaming Moderate is ideal for those seeking logical political discourse and readers who can objectively evaluate both familiar and opposing viewpoints. With an engaging tone and a commitment to speaking his truth, Roberts presents a book filled with intelligently articulated problems and actionable solutions. Whether sharing personal experiences or discussing notable political figures, his perspectives resonate with advocates for the advancement and prosperity of the USA.
