There's a few books on the market now by people I like to read. Newt Gingrich has 2 or 3, Pat Buchannon has a new one and there's another one on the subject of the income tax by a constitutional authority.

I don't know how many of them, if any, are available in paperback but after I do some research to find out and in the event that they're only available in hardback is there anybody who might like to share share the purchases with me....i.e. I'll buy one, you can buy the other and we'll swap'em when we're through reading them?

Just let me know. Or if you have any books you think I might like, let me know what they are and I might buy them from you.

You could just huff gasoline out of a Subway bag under a bridge, that would have the same effect as reading those books.

Well, at least we know who likes to at least try to learn something and look for new ideas vs. who prefers to be the forum version of Jerry Lewis.

I suppose you tell your students the same thing when they mention that they're interested in something that you feel is beneath you?

For the benefit of other people who might have a more open minded attitude toward learning, I've since discovered that Amazon can't ship over here. I wish I was wrong but that's the message I got when I tried to pay online for the order (of several books).

Salsa, are you French? I thought conservatives hated the French?

1. I've shipped to here with Amazon many times.
2. I do prefer to order from http://whatthebook.com though- it's often cheaper and usually has what I want.
3. While books are usually duty free, I think ordering Gingrich or Buchanan might require a visit to immigration to justify tax-free as it'll be hard to rightly classify what they write as "literature" Smile

Actually I have read all of Ann Coulter's, Bill Orally's and lots of other conservative's books. I love reading them, how else can one defeat the enemy unless they know their enemy. They're still mostly garbage.


I'm also a closet.................





Tom Clancy fan, and that I don't tell any of my pinko commie friends.

You know what would be a better suggestion??

How about a conservative book swap, but you have to take a liberal one in exchange?

I've got the Communist Manifesto, and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged if anyone's up for it.

My box of books from Amazon just arrived on Tuesday. (Christmas present to myself.) I was drunk when I placed the order, so I don't remember which books I ordered. The suspense is killing me.

peel,

On another thread I commented that your behavior was making me reconsider the definition and including you in my Complete and Utter Moron (C*M) category. I think you just convinced me to stop procrastinating.

Sorry that was funny coming from someone who is conservative...Isn't reading something conserative more like brain-washing than learning???

Only to the weak minded, the people who don't have the critical thinking skills to sift out truth from fiction. If you are unable to do so, yes, you are probably better off reading Al Franken or Michael Moore.
