Some things never change
Rating  (4)
Date: 2009-07-28
Cal Thomas traces the history of liberal politics and gives a brilliant defense of conservative values. Though the book is now 15 years old, it deals with many moral, political, and religious issues that are still very contemporary. My only wish is that he would have expanded some of the op ed columns into full-length chapters.

A Defense of Social Conservatism
Rating (4)
Date: 2009-01-23
Cal Thomas is one of the most important conservative columnists in America, and this collection from the first half of the 1990s contains some of his most hard-hitting columns ever. Rush Limbaugh wrote the foreword for this volume, in which Thomas speaks out for faith, family, and traditional morals, and in which he argues against big government and liberal indoctrination in the schools. If there could ever be such a thing as a manifesto for social conservatism, this book might be it.

As a High School Teacher, Cal is RIGHT ON!!!

Despite the fact that this book is over ten years old, it still hits hard. I found myself in tears many times over the fact that Cal is speaking the truth. This is an excellent read for those of you who have had it with our government trying to be all things to so many people.
As a veteran High School teacher for many years, our schools are headed for catastrophe unless things are changed. The parents, or should I say lack of parenting is unbelievable. The baby boomer generation has failed miserably in the area of raising its young.
As Cal points out, Bill Clinton was a perfect example of a sixties generation Icon. Popular, yes, but immoral and without godly character.
Cal's big point is that we have no absolutes anymore. Our kids don't know right and wrong, and I as a teacher can't tell them! We live in such a society, where God is an entity that doesn't matter much for most people.
Until we fear a knowable God, we don't have much hope. Thank you Cal, for having the courage to write about the truth, knowing that so many people are going to be against you.

If you like Cal Thomas and his rightwing spew, then you'll love his lying propaganda in this book. Not recommended for liberals, moderates, and good conservatives.

Will the hot fire burn me this time?

At first I was not that enthralled with this book, okay but not excellent, it seemed that every problem that the liberals have caused could be traced back to the 1960's according to Cal. This just didn't ring true to me I honestly didn't think that today's modern liberals felt and thought the way that the hippie generation did. They have to had changed some of their thinking, after all it was so patently obvious that some of their ideas were downright deleterious to us as Humans and also to the country. I never fault anybody for trying, but once we see what we are doing is not working we need to move on, but liberals are amazing people. Let me explain, I have just read three left wing books in a row, Lying Liars, Dude where is my country and Big lies.And WOW it hit me; the liberal arguments have been the same over and over again. Their solutions are the same over and over again. But this is exactly what Cal Thomas was saying during the whole book. He kept hammering away that this liberal quagmire that has brought drugs, death, poverty, poor education and crime has been going one since the 60's and the same arguments. The answers are still the same but to think that the liberals of 2003 are using the same old arguments and answers that didn't work in the 90's or the 80's or the 70's or the 60's is mind boggling. I never used to think that liberals were stupid, but if you keep putting you hand into the fire and don't learn that fire is hot something is wrong with you. A good book that is useful to combat arrantly illogical liberal arguments. Cogent for today.
