When people think conservative talk radio, they immediately think of Rush Limbaugh. The next thought that springs to mind is racist, evil, cold-hearted republicans. Well all of that is about to change with this book.

What Boortz conveys in this book is a simple, common sense approach to the differences between liberals and conservatives. Boortz spells out how the public has been mislead for so long and how the media aids in this game.

You'll see a clear picture of why we do not live in a democracy. You'll understand why social programs have perpetuated themselves for so long. You'll even understand how and why taxes are collected.

In the 166 pages of this book you will begin to understand what separates the liberal left from the conservative right. You can't lose by spending the [money] and by the way Neal is a Libertarian not a Republican, which makes the book all the better to read!

Bingo! December 26, 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book should be required reading for every American- It serves so many wonderful purposes: Learn what makes Liberals tick and how to diffuse such nastly little bombs! Learn the truth behind America's most popular Liberal myths! It doesn't quite slice-and-dice, but it does give the reader a good introduction into Liberal and Conservative thought.

Boortz starts with the most concise, clear explanation of the difference between liberals and conservatives I have yet to find anywhere. Though unfortunately short, it does manage to give you an excellent insight into the mindset of each group.

From there he proceeds to debunk classical liberal myths left-and-right, and offer up to the reader several suggestions on how to diffuse Liberal arguments without the slightest effort. Probably the best part of the book is a chapter in which he dictates his ideal college commencement speech to the reader. If only all graduates could listen to this thing, it's a perfect summary of Boortz's political thought, and better, a perfect lesson on why not to become a Liberal.

He tosses in a lot of humor and factual examples to accentuate and enforce his point, it's quite an easy and enjoyable read actually. And it's message is very powerful- if every Liberal were to read this book, i firmly believe their species would die out. It's a book they'll never read though, I'm afraid.. no pictures. One of the most efficient books I've ever read, in terms of strength of argument to shortness of length. You could read it in a couple of hours, but enjoy it's lessons for a lifetime. Bravo, Neal, bravo.

This book is for those who love entertainment. Boortz vents his frustration with liberals in the book like he does on his radio shows. For those who listen to Boortz on talk radio, the book is a compilation of his views which he has expressed on his talk show. His commencement speech is the best. The only criticism I have is he seems to be fine with conservatives and Republicans. As a Libertarian, he needs to express his criticism with Republicans as well since both mainstream parties are corrupt.
