Top 5 Books for Those New to Politics

If you are new to politics you need to read these books. They will make you think and hopefully question our government.

1. What's So Great About America? by Dinesh D'Souza.

This is an excellent read for anyone who is questioning whether or not America is a great country.

2. Bias by Bernard Goldberg

Within the pages of this book the author explores the liberal bias within the mainstream media. Don't fool yourself it is present. Mr. Goldberg himself is not a conservative, he tends to be liberal on certain issues, which he talks about in the book. He does however notice that liberals to have control of most mainstream media outlets.

3. Slander by Ann Coulter

A humorous look at the tactics of the extreme left-wing of the Democratic Party. Be ready to take it with a grain of salt.

4. Give Me a Break by John Stossel

This book is amazing. It is an easy read, written in language that even your 5th grader can understand. John Stossel is the king of exposing scams. He promotes the idea of competition and a personal responsibility. It's about time someone did.

5. The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison

This is the most difficult to read and understand, that is why it is at the bottom of the list. However, I would say this is the most important book of the five. The book is really a series of essays written to promote the new Constitution and the idea of Democracy. If you have trouble understanding out constitution these men will explain it.

Please read responsibly and enjoy.
