If you're like me, you constantly lament the fact that conservatives don't get their say in society. Those dirty liberals have so effectively shut out honest rightists that there is literally nowhere to turn to hear hasty, generalized conservative thought. Think about it: talk radio, cable news, magazines, books, every branch of the federal government -- none of these places are producing conservative thought. None. But don't worry! Crown Publishing, a division of Random House, is launching a new imprint devoted exclusively to conservative authors. The LA Times article is here. Thank God for Crown Publishing! Thank God for their timing! God Bless America! God Bless the banner ads at the top of this page! Let's all pray to get them to advertise conservative websites once again! The best news of all: Ann Coulter has a new book coming out. What is its elegant and subtle title, you ask? Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terrorism. Outstanding. The article also mentions another small imprint called Prima Forum that publishes conservative stuff:

One of Prima Forum's titles, "The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left's Assault on Our Culture and Values" by Tammy Bruce, was published Tuesday and currently is on Amazon.com's Top 10. Bruce, the controversial one-time president of the National Organization for Women's Los Angeles chapter, is a self-described lesbian, pro-choice feminist. Her book is a denunciation of the now-familiar list of right-wing demons -- multiculturalism, identity politics, moral relativism and "the malignant narcissism" of the "Left Elite." There are all sorts of nasty elites in Bruce's moral schema, including black ones, academic ones and an entertainment one whose "moral depravity is beyond measure." Ozzy Osbourne, by the way, is "a moral terrorist."

No one in the US, left or right, seems to want to cool-headedly discuss the issues and come to rational, necessary conclusions. It's much more fun to throw around epithets like "moral terrorist" and "malignant narcissism". I'd like to see some statistics about thesaurus sales to conservatives, too. Thanks, William F. Buckley, for making neo-cons think that they can validate and improve the persuasive power of their arguments by using words they've never used before and don't understand.
