Me Am Ilitterate…er…Ilitlerate…er…Don’t Read?
According to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association of American Publishers, conservatives like myself don’t read books all that much. Now, just who specifically is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association of American Publishers? Why none other than ultra-liberal former congresscritter Pat Schroeder! According to Schroeder, liberals read much more books than conservatives and according to her:
“The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: ‘No, don’t raise my taxes, no new taxes,’” Pat Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers, said in a recent interview. “It’s pretty hard to write a book saying, ‘No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes’ on every page.”
What a bunch of bovine scat! Actually the poll to which Schroeder references doesn’t actually support her contention. But something like that never stopped a liberal extremist like Schroeder from bashing conservatives. Michelle Malkin has more details on this nonsense. Also NewsBusters questions the validity and accuracy of the poll in question. I wonder if any of the Democrat candidates will be foolish enough to use this to bash conservatives as Schroeder has done.
As for myself, I do read quite a bit and have done so ever since I was a little crumb cruncher. Currently the bulk of my reading is of a Christian nature with the occasional light science fiction thrown in. I may even go back and reread some of the Louis L’Amour westerns I originally read as a pre-teen. Maybe even some of the old Lester Dent pulp fiction. But none of that probably counts for much in Pat Schroeder’s world of simpleton conservatism.

Blame it on Karl
Many people both conservative or liberal, prefer to read what they want to hear. In other words, people read books, blogs, magazines etc that affirm their beliefs. Speaking for myself, I like to read very divergent opinions.

ACLU & Anti-semitism
I was reading an e-mail a dear friend of mine sent today, and I can’t really say I’m stunned. Outraged? If it were any other group, yes, but I know these commie b*st*rds. I will let you judge for yourselves:

this is not what the poll said at all. if it said anything, it said that the bible is the most read book and be cause the poll had more dems than any other party, how could it be conservatives who don’t read? what it does say is that more whites read more books than blacks and the south reads more than the northeast.

Majority of Palestinians don’t trust United Nations
This is an interesting poll…
Palestinians believe the UN is a tool for the US. This poll is surprising; especially when the number of resolutions against Israel by the UN is taken into account. The Palestinians should view the UN as an ally.

Masked Men Set Iraqi Child on Fire
Masked men pour gasoline on a 5-year-old Iraqi boy and set him on fire for no apparent reason. This is the kind of enemy our Soldiers are fighting in Iraq. These terrorists prey on the most vulnerable and least able to defend themselves.
