As a relatively young (young meaning anyone younger than Goldberg) independent I gave this book a try and really enjoyed it. I found myself disagreeing with some of the authors on a couple of points and really "seeing myself" in others. These are short essays that cover a range of topics in a variety of writing styles and perspectives. A nice reminder that American conservatism is indeed a "big tent."

I bought this book because it had Jonah Goldberg's name on it...and i love reading his work. Wow....what a collosal disappointment this book was! Goldberg put in a very short preface and nothing more. Ok...I said. Certainly he has identified some brilliant minds and master writers...or...atleast some insightful young conservatives. Negative. Negative. Negative.
Mr Goldberg serves up a dish of college level rants that was embarrassing to think of as the "up and comers" of conservative writing. Not one of these writers had a grasp on the core problems facing society today. Hell, not one of these writers could shake the reader from the sense of listening to a college dorm discussion.

I was highly disappointed in Jonah for passing this junk off to his fan base as having anything to do with his work.

if you are tired of reading about whining, bleeding heart liberals then get this book and read about "the next generation" of whining, angst-ridden conservatives. if i read one more essay that begins. 'when i was....' or 'how i saw the light' then i will just....(insert drama here) . it is too much to hear how these newbies have been disillusioned and now born again....come back in 20 years when you have experienced a life....left or right. do something, succeed or fail, then you will have something to write....this is drivel.
