"The principal feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things–war and hunger and date rape–liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things.... It’s a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don’t have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal." —from Give War a Chance |
“One of the funniest, most insightful, dead-on-the-money books of the year.”—Los Angeles Times “All the Trouble in the Worldis O’Rourke’s best work since Parliament of Whores.”—The Houston Post “The dispatches are unfailingly funny. . . . Mr. O’Rourke gets to the heart of the matter with a steady stream of wisecracks. . . . Economists, political scientists and sociologists are inclined to approach the ills of society with regression analysis. P. J. O’Rourke just points and laughs. Not surprisingly, it is Mr. O’Rourke who gets it right.”—The Washington Times “The book is O’Rourke at his best.” —The National Review “Bottom line: Buy the book.” —The Wall Street Journal |
