Two Books That Makes for a Great Summer Read
By Rob Hood (08/15/07)
The first book is one that I encountered through an email and later purchased it in a local bookstore. It's called A Field Guide to left Wing Wackos and What to Do About Them by Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, co-founders of Protest Warrior ( www.protestwarrior.com ). I never knew it, but the authors say that there are at least eighteen different species of liberal protestors.
One of the catchy counter demonstration signs that Protest Warrior members hold up while demonstrating against left wing protests says " Except for ending slavery,fascism,Nazism, and communism, war has never solved anything". This statement takes aim at those who despise our military and country for waging wars. No one likes war, but sometimes it becomes inevitable to maintain sovereignty, peace, and national security. The book has numerous good points about how to recognize which of the eighteen categories that left wing protestors might fit into by the way they dress, etc. Even though Protest Warrior members often peacefully protest for conservative means, they are often criticized, and viciously attacked verbally by the very people who are screaming "PEACE! No MORE WAR!" The authors described it best in the introduction: "The protests became vicious, nasty,and intolerant, far different from the peaceful do-gooders portrayed in the media. left wingers spat on us, shouted us down, destroyed our signs, and assaulted us. Challenging left-wingers became as dangerous as feeding bears in Yellowstone Park. Left wingers seemed cute and cuddly, but they would rip off your head if you gave them a chance." Indeed the modern liberal media portrays all war protests as peaceful and the protestors as innocent bystanders of a runaway government, but this book shows the protestors in their true form and how they are protected, encouraged, and empowered, by today's liberal news media. Back then, they would have, at least, had a legitimate concern.
The second book is called The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism by Christopher C. Horner. Christopher Horner is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and an acknowledged expert on the so called "global warming". He has spoken before Senate committees and the European Parliament. The book touches a nerve for those who declare themselves "green". While there is nothing wrong with trying to conserve and take care of the planet, some people are exaggerating myths and putting the world into panic mode over nothing and it's all backed by the modern mainstream media. This book would go hand in hand with the above mentioned simply because there are some left wingers out there that actually believe this whole global warming myth. I agree that climate change is real, but it is not manmade. I am currently writing my second book and one chapter is about the global warming scare tactic by the far left. It all comes down to control. The left wants to raise taxes and control big business and what better way to do it than to scare the American public half to death about something that is not true. It was in the 1970s that these same liberals and the media operated the coming ice age scare. Well, we all see that it never happened and in thirty or so years this thing will blow over just as well. This point is made clearly in the book and other facts. Facts like the earth has been hotter than it is now and that only a small portion of greenhouse gases are actually man made. This is a great book for summer reading. It's just too bad that these same liberals were not around to help Noah tell others about the coming flood. A disaster that really changed the climate worldwide in a matter of days.
