Feeding Lions is a book that comes clean on just why conservatives and liberals can't get in the same room without a fight breaking out. Using a healthy dose of heartland humor, the author takes readers on a journey of discovery that will anger liberals and awaken the dormant conservative who sleeps in the majority of the nation. This book avoids reams and reams of boring statistics and gets down to business right away by laying out the fundamentals of conservatism and why they fall in diametric opposition to liberalism. The goal for this book is quality, not quantity, and each page is full of serious intellectual analysis on the battle being waged for the hearts and minds in this country, and why conservative views MUST win the day.

Format:Paperback
This novel takes the reader on an educational ride through the political
history of America from its past, and to the present. It is indeed an
essential wake-up call to all Americans in the political arena for a
stronger government to return to the renewal of morals and values that
once built America. The author clearly presents accurate research as he
compares the different views from the eyes of a conservative, and the
eyes of a liberal. Most important, he demonstrates through personal
experience how those differences between the two parties affected world
events, making this country what it has become today. Paul A. Ibbetson
penned an intriguing novel, based on life's lessons as he points to the
building blocks of American responsibility. He draws an imaginery line
between liberalism and conservatism in America as he walks the reader
through critical issues of today, while describing how the conservative
movement and liberal ideals contributed to the morality of American
culture. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning
about the political value systems that move America, and how moral courage is affected, based on solid research. Did the Hippie culture
and liberal bias affect standards in America? How did our higher
instirutions change? Did the Regan administration, or Bush's beliefs
on terrorism contribute to the shape America is in today? In a brilliant
presentation, the author covers The Fairness Doctrine, and The War On Terror. With extensive research, he presents documentation on The Patriot
Act, and views on global warming. To continue to peek the interest of the
reader, Paul A. Ibbetson describes with perfection the Border Security
issue in the United States. Are opened borders an act of compassion to
Americans, or illegal aliens? What happens when an Amercan crosses the
border, are they at their own risk? How does law enforcement differ in
Mexico, compared to Arizona? The facts and conclusions drawn from the
author, who was raised from conservative roots in America, makes this
book appealing to both conservatives, and liberals. The author's personal
journey through American politics becomes a stepping stone of knowledge
for America's future. "FEEDING LIONS" contains sidesplitting comic in
comparison to GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, and is as brilliant as WAG THE DOG
with Dustin Hoffman, and Robert DeNiro.

Until 8 months ago, I identified mainly with liberals and democrats, but saw myself as a fiscal conservative. What I realized, and was affirmed through Feeding Lions, is that I was riding the fence. I stepped off and joined the world of conservatives. After reading this book, the choice is clear!

Format:Paperback
Another great read from a very talented writer.
Without trying to hide who he is from anyone who picks up this book, Paul managed to write a book that will captivate readers of any political slant. He states from the very beginning that this book is based on his view and the lessons he's learned through life, which he shares throughout.
A lot more approachable then his last, more technical release (Living Under the Patriot Act: Educating a Society), Feeding Lions gives a look into the views of a man raised from conservative roots in the very heart of America. From his first run-in with the hippie culture to his discussion of liberal bias in today's higher education institutions and from his views of Reagan's presidency to Bush's stand against terrorism, Paul manages to express how he reached the views he did and why he will stick by them until the very end.
For those who do not understand the basics of the conservative movement to those who may just want another view of those beliefs, I highly recommend that you pick up Feeding Lions.
