Book Rec

For the liberal-minded on my f-list, may I recommend How The Republicans Stole Christmas by Bill Press, about the religious right. It's a pretty good book, without engaging in vicious attacks. The author gets 2 things very right by me.

1) If women do not control what goes on in our own bodies, we have control over nothing.
2) It's not the job of the government to do the job of the church.

The majority of the book deals with Religious Right attacks on church-state separation. It's rational discussion, without viperous attacks, which I appreciate. I don't like to read something that's so full of venom reason can't penetrate.

I will definately check that book out. I wonder if it's available at the library, though. :\

I've liked the political books you've suggested thus far, so I am certain I will like this one. I already agree with you on the two points you mentioned and I like the fact that it's not just a tirade.
