I ordered a copy and read through it in only a matter of days. Thanks to its level of research and thought provoking material, this book has been incredibly helpful in cementing many of my own convictions and has given me an ability to counter the far-left lean of my classmates and professors. The author makes his points without drifting into a polemic tone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Hear Dr. Norman Berdichevsky, speak on his new book The Left is Seldom Right - Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 4:00 PM Forward this email <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=ycacm6fab&m=1105866063960&ea= nberdichevsky%40cfl.rr.com&a=1111310964424> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001scEtpxc1QE2T0x2fKRYMQTk0w SFpMPjW&t=001fbYRhP8qVDxGPIZm3PwpbQ%3D%3D&llr=ycacm6fab> <http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=TEM_News_270> This email was sent to [email protected] by [email protected] | Update Profile/Email Address <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&mse=001scEtpxc1QE2T0x2fKRYMQTk0w SFpMPjW&t=001fbYRhP8qVDxGPIZm3PwpbQ%3D%3D&llr=ycacm6fab> | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001scEtpxc1QE2T0x2fKRYMQTk0w SFpMPjW&t=001fbYRhP8qVDxGPIZm3PwpbQ%3D%3D&llr=ycacm6fab> ™ | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp> .
