How to Argue

with a Liberal and Win!

Review of: How to Argue with a Liberal and Win!
Joel McDurmon, Editor
American Vision, 2009 [www.AmericanVision.org]
250 page paperback.
Tis particular
volume gives us
quite an education
about the econom-
ically unsound and
disastrous ideas so
common accepted
by the American
public. Typically these clichs of social-
ism are answered in a chapter of 2-3
pages. Tis makes the book easy to read
when you have just a few minutes. Tese
articles do not appeal to Scripture, but
the biblical basis of the arguments can
be found in another McDurmon book,
God Versus Socialism.
Te book covers 76 ideas that every-
body knows are true, yet they are NOT!
Here are some of the false ideas
refuted:
Te more complex the society, the
more government control we need.
If we had no social security, many
people would go hungry.
Te size of the national debt doesnt
matter because we owe it to ourselves.
Im a political moderate.
Labor unions are too powerful today,
but were useful in the past. [DDC: the
LAST part is false]

Te government can do it cheaper because it doesnt have to make a proft.
Every employee is entitled to a fair wage.
We can have both freedom of choice and guaranteed jobs.
Wars bring jobs and prosperity.
So who was the last Democrat President to show actual responsibility and consti-
tutional restraint in spending? [see chapter 31] Did free enterprise cause the Great
Depression? Is the graduated income tax a good idea? [see chapter 23] Do centers
of unionism have more or less unemployment? [see chapter 11]
Economic ignorance takes a heavy toll on our nancial well-being. Politicians
who think in terms of these kinds of clichs should not be allowed to get close to
an elected oce or any place of poweryet they are typical.
Biblical ignorance contributes to economic ignorance because a sound eco-
nomics is based on the teachings and worldview of Holy Scripture. For this reason,
this book should be read as a companion to God Versus Socialism since our calling
is not simply to be a scal conservative [whatever that is!], but to base all our
ideas, including economic ideas on the Word of God and His very specic laws.
If you do not know how to answer these commonly held myths of socialism,
rush your order in today.
