Recommendation
In this takedown of years of Republican mendacity and partisanship, liberal media figure Steve Benen argues that American conservatives are no longer concerned with the serious work of running a country. On issue after issue, conservatives refuse to compromise. At the same time, he asserts, they resist making substantive policy decisions, ignore facts and peddle unfounded fear. Yet even as he chastises the right for its sins, Benen offers little in the way of olive branches or solutions. This book may appeal to left-wing readers, but will likely repel those on the right.
