Oh, is this the conservative version of Oprah's book club? If it gets Kate's approval, will international sales be affected?

Ah, SDAland, where the opposite of perceived "propaganda" isn't, say, an objective and balanced attempt at truth-seeking, but rather, "more propaganda"!

Free-thinking SDAers will no doubt demonstrate their independent-mindedness by following Kate's lead and ordering the book straight away.

Or SDAland, where I acknowledge the authors who are kind enough to send me their books with a little free publicity. If the lefties are too cheap to follow suit, it's not my problem.

"In the mail" -- because who needs to actually read the book first before giving it "a little free publicity," eh?

The title just said that it was "In the Mail." Kate didn't say it was a great book, just that it was "In the Mail."

Here's one I've read cover to cover and can recommend - Benefits of Socialism. Google it.

"Free-thinking SDAers will no doubt demonstrate their independent-mindedness by following Kate's lead and ordering the book straight away."

They might, however I personally wait until noted leftards start going into conniptions of ad-hominemy rage so that I know it's been properly vetted.

I found "Benefits of Socialism" to be thoroughly engrossing. The author has clearly done his homework and the exhaustive research shines out of every single page. Two thumbs up. I recommend it for anyone curious about the social impact socialist theory has had on the Western world in the 20th century.

Davenport, obviously you didn't even read the review in the link, let alone the book.

I knew a chap from Davenport,
Where things are small and very short,
He seemed like such a grumpy sort,
This little man from Davenport.

You could always start your own objective, balanced blog, Davenport. Who knows, Kate might even link you.

download Parkman's history of the early US. they used to be a standard reference before they were dropped as being politically incorrect

also from gutenberg The winning of the west in 4 volumes by teddy Roosevelt

If you want a very good book on why Socialism cannot work, read "Socialism" by Ludwig von Mises. It was written in 1922 and very clearly and deliberately shows why government controls on the economy are doomed to fail.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
