The Conscience of a Liberal

I recently finished to read it and I consider it as one of the better books I ever read. Krugman's incredibly perceptive analysis of the American political history give us a better understanding of the real nature of conservative movement and his disastrous consequences on American society. Sure, it's a very partisan book, and I have difficulties to think that some republicans will vote FB. Anyways, I think it's undeniable that this book has to exist, as
The Conscience of a conservative
had to do in the 60's.
BTW : I benefit the occasion to give a precision about the quote I have on my signature. I read Krugman's book french traduction,
L'Amérique que nous voulons
. If I managed to find the english title, the text I wrote on my signature has many chances not to be the actual text of the book, since it is the retraduction of the french traduction. I apologize to Krugman for this wrongdoing.

The denizens of Bullsh*t Mountain believe many things: they believe that a Kenyan Muslim President has fundamentally changed the relationship between government and the people of this country."

I can't give a reasonable verdict without reading the book. Once I have read it cover to cover then I'll give an analysis of whether or not this is Freedom Book or Horrible Book.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

Yes. Why have all the good words become obsolete?

No idea. I assume television and the internet are to blame.
