GtoRA2: Jeezus
Grun, just because I read a Franken book does not mean I am a flaming lib.
Err... You probably are.
Liberals are allowed to be (or pretend to be) literate, to read (or pretend reading) the opponent's works as long as they disagree.
Neo-Conservatives are not allowed to read any evil literature. In fact, the literacy is not encouraged. You have countless "conservative" talk-show hosts. You have a people and even a leader who talks directly to God.
The books are either contrary to God - and thus evil, or redundant. The only exception is the books by talk-show hosts repeating what they said on the air for those who missed it.
You only get minor demerit buying such book - for flaunting your literacy and admitting that you've missed the shows.
