Rezensionen

This was an entertaining and light read ... but the fact that it was fairly superficial about some things (involving fairly complex topics) made it not as substantial as it could have been. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

The author isn't likely to have made many friends with this book, but I found it to be a resounding call to arms which shouldn't be ignored.

Clearly written for Republicans and conservatives, moderates and apologists will likely find this book quite distasteful. What the author does is sound a wake-up call and implores us (the readers) to stop ignoring the left and start duplicating their success using their own tactics.

The game plan calls for Republicans to start using the courts to push back the liberal agenda even though the right usually stands for rule of law and a strong belief in the Constitution as written. His argument makes sense. If liberals fault us for using their own judicial judgments against them they look like complete hypocrites. If we are successful we can eventually regain enough of a stronghold to pass judgments (or laws that won't be overturned by the courts) that will more closely align with our base beliefs. In fact, win enough court cases and the liberals will likely look to pass these laws on their own to help "level the playing field." It's a win/win for us.

I only wish we had representatives and supporters strong enough and brave enough to begin enacting the authors blueprint. Who knows, maybe now with the Tea Party becoming stronger that's exactly what will happen...

I don't like reading books that tell me what I already know, and this book did quite a bit of that. That said, if you're looking to understand why conservatives/right wingers/republicans think the way they do, this book will give you some insight.

reasonably accurate tour through most issues important for conservatives. Somewhat simplistic...best for political novices.
