Product DescriptionTHE CONSERVATIVE S POLITICAL BIBLE. Let s say you re listening to a loony liberal, debating some dopey Democrat, or arguing with a gaggle of goofy lefties.

Issue by issue, the book offers clear and concise conservative responses and comebacks. Here is a brilliant, A-to-Z reference book that gives readers clear-cut answers on today s most pressing political and social issues. Conservative Comeback to Liberal Lies should be in the hands of every red-blooded conservative in America!
Great, Except... (Rating: 4 out of 5) I'm a gay Republican, and while this book is fantastic on most levels, I cannot bring myself to make more than a half-hearted endorsement of the book because of the author's clear anti-gay bias. While only a couple of points are rebutted -- well -- in some of the chapters, a full sixteen points are "rebutted" about homosexuality, including the utterly ridiculous notion that it's a "lifestyle choice". If Gregg Jackson would get a clue on that issue, this would probably be one of my favorite books, but that particular chapter absolutely infuriates me.
Eye-opening (Rating: 5 out of 5) I am a Republican, but I never realized ALL that the democrats have done to the individual and our country. This book was spellbinding. I was up almost all night reading it. And I will still go back to it to read again and again.
Exceptional tool when you just can't put your finger on it. (Rating: 5 out of 5) Exceptional! This book is in the top left hand drawer of my desk at all times. After reading it, I kept it around to use as a great reference guide. Nearly everything your misinformed, left leaning friends might throw at you regarding politics is covered i.e. economics, the war, presidential policies and behavior, seriously, just about anything you can think of. It's an invaluable asset if you like to verbally joust with your liberal buddies. Who knows, you might even be able to bring them around to the right way of thinking! This book pulls no punches and absolutely gets right to the point. You have the choice of quick answers if you just want to pop and go, but following those "quick answers" are in depth, well thought out, factually based explanations. Do yourself a favor and buy it today!
Good Book for People Who Like Half-Truths and False Analogies (Rating: 1 out of 5) Though I admit I am a liberal, I still like to read and listen to writers and commentators on both sides of the political spectrum. And because I get my information from a variety of sources from Limbaugh to Air America, I have very little respect for Gregg Jackson's "Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies". The book is little more than a repetition of conservative talking points, with misleading statistics and half-truths that conveniently omit vital information. Mr. Jackson has an obvious contempt for the intelligence of his readers, as evidenced by the numerous false analogies, "facts" about the Clinton Administration that are nothing more than pure conjecture, spin on religion and affirmative action, historical inaccuracies, and outright "whoppers" that would make Burger King proud. Overall, a good book for right wingers who want to reconfirm their preconceptions.
Snappy title you've got there! (Rating: 1 out of 5) The late Jesse Helms once claimed that "Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behaviour." Mr. Jackson's book is in the same fearless, truly American, mould. To counter liberal lies, what we really needed was a primer that children could carry at all times. Well... now we have it! This book is especially good for that purpose in that, as others have commented, it arranges the topics in alphabetical order. That makes it easy to find the argument you're looking for (for example, if it's compulsory homosexuality you're currently railing against - just look under "B"). Don't worry about looking stupid if you have to mug-up on something before answering. Just watch the smiles disappear from the faces of the la-di-da liberals when you 'comeback' with one of THESE gems! If you do get flustered in such circumstances - here's a tip. Put your finger on the page under the line you're reading and move it across the page as you read (try not to move your lips as you do this though). By the time you grow up, I'm sure Mr. Jackson will have published an adult version of this book.
