100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: (and Al Franken is #37)
The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America
“I’m not really a Conservative, but I do a fair amount of conservative reading. With that perspective, this is a well-written and thoughtful book. Its basic premise is this: Liberal policies have hurt people, especially the poor. Disadvantaged Americans are no better off than when LBJ’s ‘War on…”
The Death of the Liberal Class
“This is a…polemic. The author is mad. He thinks that ‘the liberal class’ has capitulated to the interests of The Right, corporations, and the military. He never clearly defines ‘the liberal class.’ Or maybe he did and I missed it? I think he just means The Left. If that’s the case, then it’s pretty…”
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic
“This is the second of Mark Levin’s books that I’ve read, after Liberty and Tyranny . Levin, of course, is the firebrand right-wing radio show host. He’s considered one of the most aggressive , according to Wikipedia. Like his other book, Levin uses the word ‘Statist’ to describe someone who he…”

Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right
The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas
“This is a sort of snarky book, but still very well-written. The author is tired of clichés that he believes the political Left has ‘captured,’ but which he believes are simply not true. He spends the book deconstructing them. Some of the clichés the author is upset about (written in the form of…”
What It Means to Be a Democrat
“So, this is a tough book to evaluate. It’s a…polemic? …manifesto? written by George McGovern toward the end of his life. Each chapter discusses an area of national concern (wars, education hunger, addiction, etc.), and McGovern explains his position (which is presumably the Democratic party line)….”
