A humorous light-hearted look at liberals and liberalism from a conservative point of view. Politics, environmentalism, creationism, animal-rights and culture, among other topics, are the various venues for witty and irreverent discourse on liberalism. There is also a new metaphysics, or understanding of human nature that provides a new and unique understanding of what it means to be a human being as well as a liberal. With this new insight into why liberals are so goofy, this is a book that liberals will not find funny at all, but will find educational. The ingenious philosophical picture painted by the author Karl X. A. Raeder will give the reader a previously unknown take on liberals and the world of liberalism. You will never look at liberals the same way again, or conservatives either for that matter. Conservatives are also skewered, but in a more compassionate and caring manner. This book is not just humorous, but a thoughtfully written tome that will make you think and reflect on what you know and understand about life as much as laugh about it. The book is a fun and easy read. And you will want to read many times as you will pick-up more and more with each read and laugh harder each time.
