Friend and Fellow Freeper Ben Shapiro's Book #41 on Amazon!
Amazon ^ | Cinnamon Girl

Posted on 05/14/2004 3:18:41 PM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

Ben Shapiro is 20 years old, has a screenname on FR (I'm sworn to secrecy!), has cool parents who invite fellow politically conservative Jews over for BBQ's, has had a syndicated column since he was 17, and just came out with a book detailing the ways in which universities indoctrinate you and your children with leftist, anti-America propaganda.

If you've heard Ben on Al Rantel's show or other radio talk shows, you know he's a very bright guy and is interested in presenting facts and evidence to make his case, not tearful complaints about being a political minority on campus.

If you haven't read Ben's book yet, here's a typical angry brainwashed review:

4 of 36 people found the following review helpful:

Is the author BRAINWASHED?, May 7, 2004 Reviewer: A reader from Los Angeles, CA Unfortunately, the option of zero stars was not available for this book. This is conservative reactivism at its worst. The author obviously misunderstood the purpose of a university education. The point of higher education is to open your eyes, not to further close them to the possibility of new ideas. Coming from the MECCA of campus "liberalism," Berkeley, the leftist exterior is a faccade for latent conservatism.

Was this review helpful to you?

This review kind of proves Ben's point, I think.

Personally, I love reading about college life, and since I pretty much only read political non-fiction, this is right up my alley. Way to go, Ben!

That's what I get for not reading the whole thread!

So, the Dennis Miller show is cancelled?

I'm not in LA, but sure would like to watch when Ben is on with Dennis.

If you make a ping list, please put me on it.

Thanks for the heads up about the book. I can't remember Ben's screen name offhand (and wouldn't tell if I did), but I remember his first post here on FR -- I was very impressed -- and have recognized and enjoyed his posts ever since.

Congratulations, Ben!

I loaned out my personal, signed keeper copy to a close friend and have now forgotten who it was.

I was going to read it again.

Just DAMN!!!!

Thanks. I'm hopeful the WND connection will pan out. I got an email yesterday that Roger Hedgecock, (the big talk host in San Diego, who is Rush's main national substitute) spent several minutes talking about EF&D. I must have been listening to Savage just then, dammit! Anyway, Hedgecock is huge in SoCal, so I might be able to leverage that into something.

WND could have the next "Hunt For Red October"-sized hit on their hands, if they have the imagination to take this turn into conservative fiction. Clancy also struggled to get his first novel nationally distributed; the main-line NY publishers wouldn't touch it. (Conservative pro-military fiction? Yuck!) A tiny military books publisher took on THFRO as their first work of fiction, and the rest is publishing history.

This is nothing new, it's been going on for years. Nevertheless, it should be an interesting read.

Congratulations to Ben. I first noticed him when he did a little work for NRO. He should definitely freep under his own name now.

I am curious as to what he writes about the sciences, engineering and business.

That's true. The liberals largely control higher education and the courts-- and that is wielding a LOT of power, as we can see once again in Massachusetts.
