Summary: Cheeky Defense of Conservatism
Review: Whether you like the book or not will probably depend on your political orientation. This pretty aggressive defense of the conservative point of view hammers the liberal point hard. Unfortunately whether you read Al Franken's book or Stein's, they both make aggressive arguments towards their own political direction. Stein though is a pretty bright fellow and he does make some convincing arguments. The best part of the book is where Stein takes direct quotes from Democrats, liberal personalities and the media, which laying naked look pretty startling, and he then provides argument against that point of view. The weak part to me is some of the psychoanalysis towards the end of the book. Interesting points, the Kyoto treaty restricts the west but not the east, so why would the U.S. sign it? And why are so many Hollywood stars liberal when they earn huge sums of money and fly in their own individual jets burning up substantial fossil fuel? His point is that primarily we are not a bad country (broadly states that liberals think otherwise) and we should maintain our conservative values to keep it that way. Have a good end of summer and read Stein with Al Franken's "Liars" book. Ben is a little cheeky too so the both can add balance to your point of view while being entertaining.
