The rest of the article can be found at your friendly Borders or Barnes & Noble bookstores.
It is in this weeks issue of The Weekly Standard. Good luck finding it.
It is in NATIONAL REVIEW!
Big Oops!
Sorry National Review.
There WAS a Little Professor bookstore near me. It went out of business. I know why.
Find another bookstore that treats you better, spend your money there, write a letter to the CEO of the liberal bookstores on why you are not shopping there anymore.
Conservatives probably read more and spend more than the average bookstore customer. Look at CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC to what happens when you ignore at least 50% of your customers...they go somewhere else and spend their money on the competition (FOX).
I don't know how Barnes and Noble stores are elsewhere but the one in Burlington Vermont is a freak show. The employees look like they should have a circus barker introducing them.
"See the man with his eyebrows shaved off!!!"
"See the woman with tatoos covering her entire body!!!"
"See the woman with the bone through her nose!!!"
Can anyone find this site? "BorderUnion.org"
They deliver them to your door!!!
The two or three dollars shipping is worth not having to deal with the mentally diseased.
Save yourself the trouble and order off of amazon or similar site. Same price delivered to your door. It's virtually the only way I order books anymore.
Now I go to bookstores for coffee.
I go to coffee stores for music and pastry.
I don't go to music stores and bakeries no longer exist in middle america.
:>)
Now being a former Marine, and a FReeper (a dangerous combination...) I decided to have my own little FReep in the middle of the store. In my my incredulous and loud voice I stated "Do you mean to tell me that Borders does not have a book that has been on the NY Times Bestsellers List for three weeks?", before the leftist pincushion could reply, I said "I find it rather odd that you have stacks of Maureen Dowd's Anti-Bush screed - something fit only for use as toilet paper, a book not even on the NYT list prominently displayed at the front of your store." The pincushion just smiled one of those leftist scumbag smirks. I grabbed the store manager to complain, and this creep pointed to a crudely printed sign behind the counter that stated "Due to high demand, the book "Unfit for Command" is only being sold by special order". Creep #2 had the gall to ask if I'd like to special order the book. Back into FReep mode, I said "I came into this store to buy the #1 NYT Bestseller, since your store obviously has a political agenda in not stocking this book, I'll get mine from AMAZON!"
The frustrating aspect of all of this is that this in not the first time this has happened. I couldn't find and of Anne Coulter's books, and none of Sean Hannity's either. This tendancy of the left to censor anything that does not agree with their adgenda is perhaps the most distressing aspect of their cause. Perhaps a large-scale FReep of Borders is in order?
During the really cold winter months when it's 20 below, I drive down to the Barnes & Noble and sip espresso while reading books and letting my kids run amock in the store. I keep an eye out in the parking lot for all the liberal dummies who have a dead battery and no jumper cables. Last winter I made over $100 with my diesel truck which has cables on a coil which extend 25'. Decent people I start for free. The whacky arrogant liberals I charge. It's funny that every time I start the whacky ones, they explain to me that it's not their fault they have a bad battery.
And they call us "Brownshirts."
amazon
they forgot the "s"

The link listed in the article is missing the "s" in Borders. The correct URL is http://www.BorderUnion.org.
This link will take you straight to the Unfit for Command Forum thread http://www.bordersunion.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1195.
This reminds me of the when I was homeschooling my son. He was probably in 8th grade.
I had "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on his reading list, because we were using literature to reinforce what we were studying in history.
Anyhoo, when I went to pick it up at our local bookstore, I got a lecture from the bookstore employee how she thought it was improper reading for a teenager.
I don't think the clerk had ever read the book. I went on to explain why Harriet Beecher Stowe had written the book, etc. The clerk was clueless and was worried it would turn my kid into a racist, LOL!
