All of them have. What does my reading list have to do with anything? I read Steinbeck as a youth and found that useful as well as Hunter S Thomson. The various philosophers from ancient to modern did little to reveal the human condition to me but hey did try to wrestle with the ambiguity of life. The first book I read extensively was the bible but eventually rejected the mysticism and kept the moral imperatives. I read the various communist texts, Mien Kampf, the founders letters, but such political screeds rarely have anything of value to say about humanity. I have read thousands of books but nothing brought me greater understanding than simply listening to my fellow humans.
"Mien Kampf (sic)"
If you had, I bet you'd spell it correctly, you liar.
Now.....would you mind providing two or three of the books that have infused your political outlook?
I just said that for giggles....we know Liberals don't read books.....
Still nothin,' huh?
I told you the books that shaped my politics. Steinbeck, Thomson, the Bible, the Philosophers, the standard political texts of the world and you did not accept that as an answer. Last time I will ever take you seriously.
They are neither political nor history texts.
Clearly, you simply listen to propaganda and vote accordingly.
That was my point.....and you verified same.
OK then, tell what are acceptable texts to you if the books that form the basis of modern western political thought are neither political or history? Ball's in your court, edumacate me.
Jeeeezzzzz......I thought you'd never get around to asking.
. …. those who accept
the collectivist agenda don’t read, don’t think, don’t learn. See what happens when you ask a Progressive/Liberal what books have informed their political outlook…just a puzzled look.
I've had enough 'shooting fish in a barrel!!'
As one eventually becomes weary of having the dull, the uneducated, the ignorant, offer what they consider rebuff to intelligent and informed posts, and in the interests of better debate milieu.....I strongly suggest that no Leftists.....e.g., Democrat, Liberal, Socialist, Communist, Nazi, Progressive, or Fascist.....
....nor any combination or permutation of same, embarrass themselves by offering any post until such time that they complete a study of these three works:
1. "Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline,"
by Robert H. Bork
2. "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change,"
by Jonah Goldberg
3. "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character,"
by Diana West
They provide the context for the world you live in.
And, please do study the vast and scholarly documentation provided in each tome.
Without having digested the three above, and carefully decided whether they are correct or not, your posts reek of stupidity and a lack of understanding.
I mean that in only the kindest way.
Having completed the above assignment, you will find that your experience.....and mine....here on the board will be greatly enhanced.
Begin immediately!!!
Forthwith!!!!!!
4. Extra Credit: this is by an actual Liberal....
