The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsLowblow Unrealistic
This would probably be of interest to some of my readers, Independent Sources takes a look at Barbara Boxer’s book, A Time To Run.
The book implies that conservatives were not loved as children. As Independent Sources states, "There’s no doubt what she believes: loving families = liberal; abusive families = conservative".
I can imagine that any conservative people reading this right now may be writhing in anger over such an attack. I must say, don't let this get to you because I believe that's the intention. Talking sh*t about people is the low road taken by Boxer.
And, it is thought to read like a cheap romance novel with cheesy lines such as
"She turned to Greg in silence, pulled him down beside her, raised her arms so he could take her T-shirt off. She was naked under it. He ran his hands over her silky, olive skin, her her slender wrists in his hands, and bent to kiss her throat. "I thought I knew you," he said, "But you're a total surprise.""... Her shirt was very short, and Josh found himself mesmerized by her pefectly shaped silken legs, with kneecaps that reminded him of golden apples ... and her lusterous thighs."
"...He wished Ellen was up there on stage with the kids where he could see her and feel the support flowing out of her, but she was in San Francisco at a meeting with the Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union."
So, if you are up for cr*p literature or want a good laugh at the liberalist mentality, you can buy the book from amazon while supporting this site. But, like I said, that's only if you like to read cr*p literature.

And how is this book any different than the hundreds of books that have come out that slag liberals?

Well, for one thing, it's fiction.

I too am inclined to a rather unflattering psychological profile of conservatives but simple observation gives the lie to such generalizations. I must throw my rocks at particular persons and particular assertions. My sympathies, but not my name, are out there for all to read. My younger brother, the very replica of his father for politics and especially gun ownership, is conservative in anyone's book. [it is partly for the sake of peace in the house that I blog in anonymity] We got about equal treatment from our parents and nothing about parental love or its lack would explain our difference of views.
Making categories and lumping people into them is convenient, the unnoticed sand on which so much political thought is founded, but I say it is pernicious sloth even though I am guilty as any. Though I have not read this book, it seems likely the author is up to her neck ini generalizations. Where can I read to discover the spectrum as you see it? What book will make it clear to me whether I suffer a liberalist mentality and how the errors of thought or feeling that plague that mentality are so funny?

Conservatives have written many dumb books that attack liberals, including fiction.
