Title: Shut up and sing
Post by: Ripsnort on October 30, 2006, 11:47:07 AM: I certainly hope the mods here will let me do a book review...Just finished this off last night...What an excellent book! It fortified my beliefs about the elitist left and their attitude towards America. If you ever get a chance to pick this book up, please do so. I've quoted a brief synopsis of what this book covers below:

Meet the elites. They think you're stupid. They think all freedom loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live -- anywhere but near or in a few major cities -- is an insipid cultural wasteland.

They think your SUV is evil -- although theirs is absolutely necessary. They think owning a gun is criminal. They think George Bush is an idiot. They even think it's wrong for us to do what we have to do to protect our nation and our loved ones. Worst of all, they think our abiding belief in the goodness of America and its founding principles is naïve and misguided.

Generalizations are great. They really identify everybody, and nobody. :aok

She specified the persons, particularly from Hollyweird, and showed the hipocrasy, so there were no generalizations, just names and actions. ;)
