Bumper Sticker Liberalism

In this hilarious, sharp, smart, and savagely on-target analysis of the standard Liberal bromides, political commentator Mark Goldblatt argues that the righteous stands of the modern American Left are nothing more than bumper sticker sayings: catchy phrases with nothing of substance underneath. In Bumper Sticker Liberalism, Goldblatt peels back the idiocies of the political Left—be they global warming deceptions, government controlled health care demands, or irrational pleas for peace—to reveal the emptiness of these ideas. Wonderfully biting, aggressively entertaining, Goldblatt’s Bumper Sticker Liberalism is funny and insulting…in just the Right way. 

This unflinching work of conservative political commentary peels back the feel-good slogans to reveal the ideological rot underneath:

• Race to the Bottom: A provocative look at how well-intentioned liberal policies on race, from affirmative action to welfare, have done more to undermine the black family than decades of Jim Crow laws.
• Bush Derangement Syndrome: A takedown of the “Bush Lied, People Died” myth, revealing why the widespread belief that Saddam had WMDs was a failure of intelligence, not an act of deception.
• Dogma and Denial: An exploration of how green orthodoxy, from the disastrous ban on DDT to the alarmism of global warming, reveals an ideology more concerned with intentions than consequences.
• Tax the Rich: A lesson in basic economics explaining why cries to make the wealthy pay their “fair share” are not just bad policy, but mathematically impossible solutions to government overspending.
• A Critique of Liberalism: A deep dive into the intellectual symmetry between the right and the left, and why liberals consistently fail to grasp it, believing conservatives are morons instead of just wrong.
