A nice follow-up read to "Reclaiming Conservatism". Although he and I are in different political parties, we are both conservative, and I agree with much of what he proposes.
If you ever wondered what in the world happened that caused such rancor and anger between the parties; Why would a political party be perfectly satisfied, even smugly happy, that the credit rating of the United States was reduced over their refusal to agree to continue existing bond payments. Many of the leaders of that party were willing to let the country go into full default.
It is all about "tribal warfare", a battle for power between 2 "clubs". Edwards makes some important and reasonable suggestions for Americans to take back government from hyper-partisan idiots in both major political parties who cannot work together. Another must-read from Mickey Edwards.
