Defense Planning in a Decade of Change: Lessons from the Base Force, Bottom-Up Review, and Quadrennial Defense Review Book

In Makers and Takers: How Conservatives Do All the Work While Liberals Whine and Complain the author, Peter Schweizer, contrasts what the left spouts confidently as factual with more scientific survey-based truth and blasts what liberals hope what they want the general public to accept as true. This was the tactic used by Hitler and the National Socialists (Nazis) used, to paraphrase: Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it! This is so obvious when you take a skeptical look at what is being claimed as fact. The author points out that in many of these cases those putting out false accusation as facts are essentially doing what they claim the targets of their propaganda are doing. Their philosophy can be summed up as Do as I say, not as I do. Examples are plentiful and are presented by the author throughout the book. He draws on national polls and academic studies, along with actual testimony by liberals themselves. He also states that the emergence of this type of liberalism as a philosophy of selfishness is a direct result of big government.
