5.0 out of 5 starsRequired Readings
By Kate L Lloyd on January 13, 2004
Format: Paperback
This is the type of book that the voters need to be confronted with. Sad to say is that this country is in a lot of trouble right now, and unless we are willing to do something about it, it's going to get worse. This book really discusses that factor, and regardless of it's slightly misguiding title, it's not republicans he's talking about, but rather Republicans, the big business man who've bought our country and are now running it via corporate interest and lobbiests. Unfortunetly, this will only be read by fellow liberals, who are already angry enough. This book really deserves to be read by the moderate in your family, or as a gift for the republican we all keep as the skelaton in the closet. It's not radical left agenda, it's just a plea to live up to what our country stands for. Our forefathers created the most incredible idea ever seen by men, it's our job to not to let that idea become yet another commodity bought and sold on Wall Street.

4.0 out of 5 starsAlternatively Frightening and Hysterical
By Peter C. Krieger on December 10, 2003
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you are looking for a reason to avoid a knee-jerk pro-Republican response, this book details some of the seamier sides to America's Elephant Party (assuming that the stories are true and not the machinations of some vast left wing conspiracy seeking tax hikes and other abominations).
He fails to note that _both_ sides of the political fence (particularly now) claim a monopoly on virtue as loudly as possible, while accusing the other of unspeakable crimes.
The author includes some less-than-concrete examples when trying to defend Liberals and Democrats. James Carville goes on about how hamburgers dispel the myth of "Big Government," (he essentially says that the Democrats virtuously defend the citizens from the predations of business) or something ridiculous like that, failing to make the connection between sound regulation of the food supply and the goverment absorbing 22% of the economy, up to and including $20 million mohair subsidies and $6000 toilet seat covers.
I doubt if any reasonable person could envision a world where cash spent on meat inspections is not diverted to a padded defense contract, but that however is my point not the author's.
Ludwig von Mises said it best: The only thing Republicans are good for is tax cuts; they spend as irresponsibly as any other politician of any party affiliation from any point in history.
Whether you are a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, or a tax-and-spend, Kennedy Loving Liberal, or just a plain classical liberal (note the difference, please) this book has some interesting articles as well as some hysterical comment on the 1988 campaign [Dukakis -vs- Bush Sr.].
All in all a very good read.

4.0 out of 5 starsHere Comes the One World-Government
By doomsdayer520 HALL OF FAME on November 15, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book could definitely use a better title, regardless of any attempt by the editor to be funny or ironic. This type of title encourages reactionaries to publish one-star reviews consisting of less than three sentences, when they haven't read the book or even looked at a copy with their own eyes. Despite the corny title, there is some very informative material in here, and this compendium can be seen as a useful introduction to the workings of some powerful and well-connected writers, such as Arianna Huffington, Paul Begala, and James Carville. Consider the excerpts here to be a good justification for exploring larger and more in-depth books. The running theme in many of the excerpts here is the abuse of power and influence by the Dubya administration, along with its use of empty patriotism and simplistic jingoism to silence all dissent. It's interesting that guys who spread horror stories of a one-world government are well on the way to becoming one themselves.
Of special concern is Alan Dershowitz's expose on power plays at the Supreme Court to unethically hand the 2000 election to Bush, and Michael Jewell's intricate investigation into the Dubya administration's incestuous corporate connections and their effects. However, the book has to be penalized for mixing such serious material with a lot of cheese. Two satirical pieces from The Onion (the world's greatest webzine) are funny but misplaced, while silly quizzes and a collection of Donald Rumsfeld's bad poetry are wastes of space. Worst is Paul Slansky's never-ending 47-page laundry list of outdated Dan Quayle stupidity mixed with unfocused 80s irony. So once again, consider this book merely a useful introduction to greater works elsewhere. Those who automatically condemn this book as liberal babble (assuming they can spell either of those two words correctly) have been brainwashed by the very same dirty tricks described herein.

4.0 out of 5 starsI Really Don�t
By John G. Hilliard on April 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
I almost feel a slight bit embarrassed to review this book given that it is proof I have dug into the very partisan grab bag of hate books. My only excuse is that I was at an airport during a late night connecting flight lay over and had finished the book I brought. I figured this book would provide me enough humor and outrage to keep me up the remaining hours of my trip. First off the title of the book is all wrong, the book focused about 80% of the time on the current Bush Administration. The other 20% was throw in filler from past years going all the way back to Reagan. It is really just one more book that is after Bush Jr. and I assume that putting his name in the title in place of Republican might have been too much. Sure the book was interesting, but the through-ins from past administrations tended to slow down the rhythm and flow of the book. The book is divided into chapters with about 2 - 3 columns or book chapters from different progressive or liberal authors. For the most part the editor did a good job of arranging the sections.
As I said the book is heavily weighted to the current Bush team and the different issues that have outraged the left leaning of us. All the favorites are here, the rolling back of environmental laws, the tax cuts for the wealthy, and the war in Iraq etc. As I tend to read a lot of progressive publications and books I found many of the sections of the book to be repeats of items I have already read. This was a disappointment for me, but if you are just dabbing your foot into this type of reading then it will be new and probably enjoyable. I just felt that the editors probably could have not included the pre Bush Jr. items and still had an entertaining book.Read more ›
