Overview

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO WINNING AN ARGUMENT WITH A LIBERAL. ""Antifa leftists may still burn this book, but more than a few center-left individuals will read 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to Be a Liberal and develop a new respectful understanding of conservatism."" - Dinesh D'Souza Although conservatives outnumber liberals in 44 out of 50 states, it's a situation conservatives know very well in today's contentious political environment: Conservatives often find themselves in discussions with liberals who relentlessly hammer conservatives with insults, accusations, and unfounded assumptions about conservatism. The question is: What is a proud and informed conservative to do?! The answer is: 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to be a Liberal: And How To Enlighten Others, the conservative playbook to persuasive facts and arguments that detail the policies, accomplishments, and often-ignored compassionate nature of the conservative philosophy. Presented in an easy-to-access format, Judd Dunning's ideological treatise will empower readers not only to hold their own in an argument with a liberal, but also to change hearts and minds, or at worst, preserve a few more mutually respectful relationships with more ease, clarity, and dignity. Both a current and timeless conservative philosophical and argumentative manifesto made for conservative, right-leaning, independent, libertarian or ""on the fence"" Americans who are both passionate about politics and love being Americans. If you can't achieve a win-win civil discussion with a liberal, at least you can use 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to be a Liberal to land some clear, intelligent blows. You will no longer serve as a liberal's doormat. You can maintain your pride and then move on to someone who really wants to both talk and listen. A ""Freethinker""... probably a conservative!

Reviews

"Praise for 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to Be A Liberal: And How to Enlighten Others by Judd Dunning with Eric Golub “This book is a return to the calm kitchen table discussion of issues that used to be a normal staple of American life. Anyone can lob verbal hand grenades. Judd Dunning genuinely seeks to advance conservative principles though reasoned dialogue. Antifa leftists may still burn this book, but more than a few center-left individuals will read 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to Be a Liberal and develop a new respectful understanding of conservatism.” — Dinesh D’Souza, New York Times bestselling author of The Roots of Obama’s Rage and producer of the movie Trump Card “Judd Dunning provides a crucial perspective for those tired of arguing with mindless liberals who believe in all the disinformation served up by the fake news media. This is a must-read for those determined to defeat the unhinged left.” — Roger Stone, New York Times bestselling author of The Making of the President 2016: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution ""Judd has picked up where my own magnum opus left off. The reasons to embrace leftism are nil, the reasons to reject it, too many to count. I look forward to the sequel!"" — Michael Knowles, bestselling author of Reasons To Vote For Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide and host of The Michael Knowles Show at The Daily Wire “Fantastic read! Really! Finally, a book which explains everything in simple language... I previously had no idea why I became a conservative, made myself a pariah in Hollywood, or found myself friends with Jon Voight. Now I have 13 reasons!” — David Zucker, Director, Writer & Producer of Airplane!, The Naked Gun, The Naked Gun 2 1⁄2, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, The Kentucky Fried Movie, Ruthless People, The Smell of Fear, BASEketball, and Phone Booth. “When you're done, the only thing you'll be left wondering is how Judd narrowed it down to just 13. Great book for those looking for clarity.” — Evan Sayet, bestselling author of The KinderGarden Of Eden: How The Modern Liberal Thinks ""So glad I was able to cajole Judd into actually finishing 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT To Be A Liberal: And How To Enlighten Others, during the taping of Bulletpoints (our web series on YouTube) for a YEAR! Well worth the wait!” — Michael Loftus, The Loftus Party, Freedom To Laugh Comedy Tour, TV writer of Anger Management and Kevin Can Wait. “Judd Dunning not only empowers conservative readers with the critical thinking and forensic tools to survive a liberal rhetorical onslaught, but to emerge from the battle with a convert or two as well.” — Lowell Cauffiel, New York Times bestselling author of House of Secrets ""The best teachers of enlightenment are those who've once lived in darkness. As a former liberal, Judd Dunning's book 13 1/2 Reasons Why NOT to Be a Liberal: And How to Enlighten Others is an important tool that can potentially help you save family or friends duped by the (very) evil forces of the world. And after the onslaught of 2020, we all need as much help as we can get!"" — Ann-Marie Murrell, bestselling author of What Women Really Want and PolitiChicks: A Clarion Call to Political Activism and Editor & Owner of PolitiChicks.com “My new lucky number is 13, because of Judd Dunning’s eye-opening, insightful new book. If you’re a conservative or want to be, this is a MUST read!” — Seth Swirsky, #1 hit songwriter, 4-time best-selling author, award-winning documentarian and political writer"
