—Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Nation
The perfect pick-me up and resource book for progressives: 778 pages of inspiring liberal quotes.
It's conveniently organized by major categories, such as "The Unchecked Power of Corporations," "The Culture War," "The Right Wing In Its Own Words," and "The Rights of Citizens in a Democracy."
Then each major category is broken down into sub-categories, such as under "The Liberal Resurgence": Charity, Common Good, Conscience, Courage, Empathy, Populism, etc.
And it is jam-packed with incisive, useful, inspiring quotations and sometimes wry quotations, generally one or two sentences.
From the publisher:
In a political and media environment dominated by corporate and conservative interests, liberals need every opportunity to be heard, without distortion and in their own words. What Liberals Believe contains thousands of cutting-edge quotations culled from the best alternative media sources and the keenest progressive minds, past and present—Michael Moore, Rosa Parks, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, Anna Quindlen, Frank Rich, Oscar Wilde, Barbara Ehrenreich, John F. Kennedy, and others. Covering topics from Christian fundamentalism to the Iraq War, from feminism to homophobia, What Liberals Believe is packed with timely, insightful quotations covering hundreds of critical issues. (And, to be fair and balanced, there is a section of "Callous and Clueless Quotes from the Right.") What Liberals Believe will appeal to anyone who has grown weary of the extremism of the shameless right and needs a fresh perspective on American political life.
