Summary: Right on the money...
Comment: Larry Elder follows up his first book, "The Ten Things You Can't Say in America" with "Showdown," a call for a return to limited, localized governance and liberty linked to personal responsibility. Elder's not the first to defend the Founder's design, not even the first black - Walter E Williams and Thomas Sowell have been championing less government for decades, but Larry Elder adds a strong voice to that choir and proof that what the Left likes to say about Libertarian blacks, that they are "out of step with mainstream black America," is wrong. In fact, Elder would retort that people like himself, Professors Williams and Sowell, Condy Rice and Colin Powell ARE more indicative of the mainstream than their more visible Left leaning cohorts like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

"Showdown" is a very well researched book. Elder backs up his points meticulously. He chronicles Santa Monica's disastrous "Living Wage" bill that recently passed...a bill that's already cost the area lots of entry level jobs. And the new California movement of "Visitablity" - an ordinance that would force private home owners to install ramps and other means of access, apparently for disabled door-to-door salesmen.

Throughout "Showdown" Elder shows a government run amock. It's a quick and entertaining read and one that'll make you think twice about so much of what the media passes off as gospel.

Summary: THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE READING THIS BOOK
Comment: Everyone who respects Larry Elder and has similar views will enjoy this book because it exposes the myths of the liberal agenda while reinforcing conservative values and beliefs. Unfortunately the people who need to read this book the most...namely liberals, leftists and what Larry refers to as "viticrats" will not read it, because it undermines and disproves their fundamental beliefs.

Give this book to your liberal friends and watch their jaws drop when they read it. If you can't convince them by yourself, let Larry help you. I've added Larry's book to my liberal conversion kit which consists of books by Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and Dinesh D'Sousa.

Summary: an eye opener
Comment: Mr. Elder has written another masterpiece. While he does go back over allot of points in his previous book; "The Ten Things you can't say in America", he approaches them from a different angle. He discusses terrorism in this country and how this country failed to protect us on 9/11 by focusing to much of our country's resources on social programs that we should be taking care of privately. In addition to the talk on terrorism he discusses the individuals who are against our war on terrorism, and even speaks against former Libertarian presidential canidate Harry Browne for his views on this subject. Finally, conservative Republicans are bashed practically as much as democratic Liberals. For liberals who don't believe me, read the whole book and you will see. I don't like to admit some of his arguments against both parties, but he does have valid points that a person would be hard pressed to argue against. If you are very conservative or very liberal and close minded about your views, this book is not for you.
