He deserved it. It was an excellent book.

I haven't read it, but we bought it for my 12 YO son. He loved it! He's now reading it for a second time, he said it fills the time he spends on the bus every day.

We live in a very conservative area, so much so that middle schoolers wear t-shirts from their church's religious ed programs at school.

I was wondering why you would be pushing your Marxist agenda on 4th graders. It would be wise to also introduce them to the other side if you choose to make your mission to indoctrinate them into liberalism.

I have made a list of items you can cover while touting your hero Obama.

Ambassador Stevens
The dead members of Seal Team Six
92 million unemployed Americans
The price of gas and the Keystone Pipeline along with the war on Coal
The release of 38k illegals this week who are murders and rapist
The Constitution and how the government has no right to make Americans BUY healthcare.
Socialized medicine, Canada would be a good conversation for the children
The infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in our Pentagon.
Traditional marriage between a man and women.
AIDS
The incarceration of Marine Andrew Tahmooressi in Mexico who your hero ignores.

Please feel free to discuss the above and your hero.

I was arguing with a liberal who said something outrageously liberal and I said `that is so liberal!’

He snapped, “Don’t you dare use the word ‘liberal’ like it’s some kind of CURSE!!!”

Veins popping as he raged.

Why send an anonymous letter - unless you’re (perhaps correctly?) afraid of repercussions aimed at your child, that is...

Here’s how I see it: in every private sector enterprise, you only survive by giving customers and vendors and co workers what they want and need…in other words helping them. In our PC society, that’s called being greedy however.

Those who run non profits or bureaucracies in social service for a salary get credit for helping, when in fact those are now relatively high pay low risk fields. Teaching is a gravy gig. And yet, there is a collective “worship” of those who do these jobs. It’s nauseating.

“Well, considering that the ideology currently labeled “liberal” or “progressive” has historically led to so much misery and genocide,

perhaps you should own up to it as a curse word!”

If you haven’t listened in a decade, how do you know?

Excellent book. I highly recommend it.

I have come across numerous articles about the "Author of the Year" award, many whining how dare they nominate Rush L. Yet I could not find a single one that listed the other finalists.

I’ve found the biggest slap in the face to a leftist is making them face the fact that all the “good” things they want to do through the government have to have FORCE behind them in order to make people comply.
In essence, they are authorizing people point guns at other people in order to make them comply with their “feel good” policies.

Perhaps he would prefer the words left-wing fascist.

He needs to stop listening to NPR.

Or he needs to listen with a more critical ear. Then he'll recognize it for what it is...National Propaganda Radio.

forget Limbaugh for just a second….YOU just admitted you haven’t listened in years, and now you insist you know what goes on. Limbaugh aside, your logic is abysmal.

Last I talked to him he had decided that George Sr. and Barbara were good people which is a start.

Very small start for lib to say something nice about ole "read my lips, no new taxes!" Give him some real meat, like a series of columns by Dr. Sowell then see what he says.

Doubly impressive in that if I went to ten libraries today, I doubt I could find it in more than two.

And in those two it would be wedged into a bottom shelf in the Home Remodeling section of the adult shelves.

You mean a broken record that is 100% for conservative values? I kinda like that about him. When I get the chance to listen to him, he makes my day! I listen as often as I can, almost daily but not quite.

Congratulations, Mr. Limbaugh!

I've bought 3 copies of each book, and my grand kids love them.

My wife and I have both read the books and they are well written and factually correct, except Liberty was a mare and she had a lisp.

I haven’t listened to Limbaugh in years since he went through his “rehab”. He gets REAL Old after awhile!

You should listen during the first hour today, he will be a riot.

BTW, your Bruins and my Pens both crapped the bed this week, maybe it's the black and Gold uniforms.
