Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-26 00:00:00 Rose Campbell This book was a truly frightening window into contemporary conservative thought. There are basically no ideas here, except that liberals are stupid and ugly, and that Reagan was a great man. Whether you agree or disagree, it would be nice to see some actual attention paid to supporting these arguments with something resembling rational analysis. The jokes are about what you'd expect from a 12-year-old boy... who's not very funny. But, like Anaconda, Kazaam, and other similar movies, this one is so bad it's quite entertaining. The part where D'Souza makes a joke about an angry liberal having diarrhea is classic.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-12 00:00:00 Brian Swanson Reviewers who acuse Dinesh D'Souza to be "angry" make the old mistake generations of conservatives has been made: being polite with the leftists, just to be called by them "fascists". Yes, Dinesh D'Souza is angry with leftists. I myself appreciate that. After all, politics is a war of ideas, and being polite or not is a secondary issue. On the other hand, the book explains greatly the grounds of conservatism. Criticizing the lack of scientificism in the book is missing the point: "Letters to a Young Conservative" is about a political option, so It's based on philosofical argumentation, not datas (altough there are a lot of them). Besides, trying to discuss politics in scientific bases is a kind of naive. Dinesh is an old school intelectual, not a scientist. Great book.
