All right then, what books would you suggest to make conservatism accessible to the average oprah fan?

For my part, I think they're a lost cause, and the best we can hope for is to minimize the damage they cause.

Oprah fans are too stupid to be important. It is more worthwhile to reach five intelligent, energetic, public-spirited, active people who can convince others than 50 Oprah fans. For those who have the characteristics I've described, "Witness" is a good recommendation. Another is "Suicide of the West" by James Burnham. Written 40 years ago, but still very, very timely.

For some excellent catalogues of conservative books, or classics that conservatives should read, try: ISI, Encounter Books, Liberty Fund, Claremont.org.

It starts with education I believe. And that does not mean more Federal money. I haven't read Coulter's books nor have I read any of the current conservative crop therof. I don't need to. I understand the poblem. Have them do a google search for the soviet art of braiwashing. If they read that and have any sort of clue, they may get an idea of what has happened. Try Bella Dodd. She predicted the fall of the Catholic church. Try this:
