If you want to read a good book (I'm reading it now), read Right Turns by Michael Medved--not about the Schiavo case but about Michael's life from very liberal 60's guy to conservative Theocon.
Good suggestion, BeaversMom.
For our newest member, I'd also recommend writings by David Horowitz, who was even further left and more wacked out than Michael Medved could've ever dreamed of being, LOL!
"Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left" by Mr. Horowitz is informative and scarey, and you can find his writings archived here:
