Chemicals in the environment Book

I liked this book a lot. There wasn't a whole lot of new information for me, since he is on the O'Reilly Factor once if not twice a week, but some things did catch my eye.
Bernie talked about his transformation from a liberal growing and through most of his adult life into holding more conservative views. He attributes this to the change in the Democratic party from the early 1970's when the angrier far left took over the party. No longer was this the party that FDR, Truman, and Kennedy had led. When I was growing up, this was the Democratic party that I liked and wanted too. He can be pretty harsh and to the point as when on page 216 he says, "What liberals don't seem to understand is that real courage requires risk, sometimes even sacrifice. In my entire life I have never met even one liberal who said, "Give the job to the other guy instead of me - he's black." I have never met one liberal who said, "Let that minority kid into that Ivy League school instead of my kid - after all, my boy is upper-middle class, privileged, and white." It's easy to be a liberal when you don't have to pay a price for your virtue."
He's not crazy about the current crop of Republicans either, who have spent more in the last Congress than almost any other, and who deserved to lose the last mid-term elections. That reminds me of the current election cycle and how un-enthused I am with anybody running. Well, I guess the good, and bad thing about an election cycle is that another one is always close behind.
