The Reading List

OK...Myself and a friend have finally waded through Liberal Fascism, by Jonah Goldberg, and I can safely say it needs to be on your 'must read' list. Or if you happen to be staring down a long car ride of, say, about 15 hours, it is available in audio book format. The review on the simplyaudiobooks.com website reads:"In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics..." which is a pretty accurate and succinct synopsis. However, I would add that Liberal Fascism is an indepth look at the history of the Progressive Movement in America, what they stand for, and against. More importantly, the Progressive Movement is in full blown resurrection mode, and inquiring minds will want to know the truth about this movement in order to contrast it with the founding principles that created our great Republic.

And if you are a bit fuzzy on those founding principles, another Must Read is The 5,000 Year Leap, by Cleon Skousen. Just read it. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw_0_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=5+000+year+leap&sprefix=5%2C000
