By the way, while we're discussing conservative books, perhaps you're interested in Michael Graham's new book, Redneck Nation. It's written from a conservative perspective and it shows how the intolerance that the North rightly criticized the South for more than 40 years ago is now being weirdly replicated by an intolerant Northern Yankee culture that no longer celebrates meritocracy and individual achievement.

He views as a part of this new northern "redneck culture" the Northern intellectual establishment's distate for Christianity and its embrace of what should be a thoroughly discredited theory that blacks have a different "learning style" or that mediocrity in intellectual achievement should be accepted in the schools as normal or expected.

There's a review of the book at here.

Five toothless goobers get together in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and rant about establishing a white Christian nation and it's a full episode of 20/20, but hundreds of thousands of Muslims gather each week to discuss the proper context in which to kill the infidels, and it doesn't even make the Metro section of the New York Times.

What a wonderful wordsmith and a great book review there - thanks for the link!
