Ameritopia

Ameritopia: the unmaking of America, by Mark R. Levin. Another right-wing blowhard discourses on why the nation is under threat (from the left, surely). Kirkus puts it well in a succinct review: Ultimately, the book never rises above partisanship and is not likely to win any converts. It seems a stretch to claim that there is any movement currently afoot in the United States today that is even remotely comparable to the societal changes implemented in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. Simply invoking the words of Ronald Reagan might appease some, but it is hardly sufficient for constructing a convincing argument. A polemic for like-minded readers.

Amen. Preaching to the choir.
