"rightwingnews" (sic) , including the bold type, and the book is not about Obama, and much wider in scope, which is apparent on the first few pages already. An interesting read.
And I doubt that there are "many" quotes that are your favourites from this book, since you already quoted 2 out of 5 from the article.
I like this bit, from page 5, Obama or 'Liberals' are not the first thing to spring to mind here, is it?
"Despite the great variety of issues in a series of crusading movements among the intelligentsia during the 20th century, several key elements have been common to most of them:
1. Assertions of a great danger to the whole society, a danger to which the masses of people are oblivious.
2. An urgent need for action to avert impending catastrophe.
3. A need for government to drastically curtail the dangerous behavior of the many, in response to the prescient conclusions of the few.
4. A disdainful dismissal of arguments to the contrary as either uninformed, irresponsible or motivated by unworthy purposes."
- from the Amazon link, you should have made the effort to read it before spouting off, Booner.
