Summary: A witty, concise political guide to liberal idiosyncrasies!
Comment: This is an excellent book that delivers a distinctive insight, and an impressive analogy of how liberals are so obstinate and narrow-minded. With a logical perception, a thorough presentation of facts, and an amusing sense of humor, Wilcox submits devasting arguments against some of the most common liberal cliches.
This book provides an interesting overview of politics in America, from the beginning of the Cold War, to the present. It points out substantial issues to illustrate how liberals are firmly pushing our country to become a socialist society with egalitarian views. In his book, Wilcox makes a convincing case, that liberals have contributed to the descending teaching standards in our public schools, which has ultimately wrecked America's educational system. In a section of the book entitled "Our Children, Our Values", Wilcox matches this cliche to "The Bait and Switch Technique of the Salesman." On more sinister issues like... President Clinton's justification for bombing Yugoslavia - in the name of our children... with "The Con-Man's Sting."
The background of a research scientist becomes evident, as Wilcox displays an extensive investigation and a very clear analysis throughout this book. I highly recommend this book, for a therapeutic course in government and economics, to parents of students in our current public school system, and anyone over the age of 16. I predict that this intellectual/writer, David C. Wilcox, will become a distinguished name in every household!

Summary: A must read - Especially for the "undecided"
Comment: The points brought out in the book were timely and succinct. Its well organized point-by-point debunking of often heard clichés justifying a Socialistic solution to problems of modern civilization makes it a handy reference as well as an interesting read.
While I frequently recognized quotes and references I had used myself to fend off the "Clichés of Liberalism", there were new and insightful analysis of the history and consequences of a "government" solution to society's problems. For anyone that is "unsure" about their political orientation, there is reference to a short quiz that can be taken to clarify how the reader thinks government and the individual should interact. You can make your own decision as to if you are moderate, liberal or conservative. The results might surprise you.
The author even touches on the clichés of homeowner associations wherein oppressive private government is justified so as to keep one's neighbor from "painting his house
purple".
With respect to the low moral and miserable state of readiness of today's military, I would have liked to see more discussion in the book on the basis for the author's position on the merits of an all volunteer army as opposed to compulsory military service.
All in all, I enjoyed reading the book. It is kept close at hand as a reference to fend off the "Clichés of Liberalism".

Summary: Everyone Should Read This Book.........
Comment: The radicals of the left have been leading the American People down the "Garden Path" for years...This book exposes all the Liberal and manipulative tactics that are used inside the beltway (Washington, D.C.) to further their own political gains, Instead of putting the people first...I have for years been under the impression that the government was established for the benefit of the People, not the politicians. The liberal Democrats were in control of the House for some 40 years and created a national debt that is astonishing. Any serious person who is interested in change should read this book and "pass-it-around" or buy one for a friend, "Especially if the friend is a liberal." In my opinion this book should be required reading in all of our institutions of learning. Let's have more from Dr. Wilcox.......
