13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT To Be A Liberal: And How to Enlighten Others by Judd Dunning, with Eric Golub, is a very highly recommended guide to talking to any liberal.
Dunning has the facts, research, and all the information collected
here to help you answer all the insults, accusations, lies, and
unfounded assumptions that are constantly yelled out to those who are
conservative. It truly is a must-read guide. You may know much of the
information here, but it is wonderful to have a comprehensive guide all
prepared for you that presents it in an organized, logical fashion. If
you are tired of liberals yelling illogical and clueless things at you,
this will help you reply with confidence and clarity using facts,
reason, and logic. Dunning has everything organized, with Liberal
arguments (or rants and lies) followed by the facts. There may be a
movement to rewrite or erase history, but there are still plenty of us
who do know our history and facts. (Although I have this review copy, I am buying my own hardcover copy.)
