A Truly Engaging Book - Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy
First of all, you really should get a subscription to Audible (http://www.audible.com). If you do, use me a referrer. Audible is the best service I have ever used, and for my monthly subscription fee I get any books I want (I get two, but they don’t offer that deal anymore), and over the course of the past few years I have probably got about 3X the dollar value of books through Audible. So use it.
The best book I have listened to in a long-time....
Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy by Peter Schweizer.
Honesty up front...I voted for Nader in 2000 and Bush in 2004. While I am a registered Republican I could easily be a Democrat if they actually still believed in something. Both political parties are in bed with big money (be it union, big business, or any other large dollar contributors). The Republican Party is at its best when it concerns itself with small businesses, since big business tends to try and protect their own current situation. But that is another story for another article…
This book is well written, funny, and is not full of cheap-shots about people’s personality. It simply points out that what many liberals, from Ralph Nader to George Soros to Hillary Clinton to my personal favourite San Fran Nancy Polosi say and advocate one thing for the public at large (you and me) but do something different with their own lives. In other words, they believe that what is good for the mass geese is not good for them.
