The Death of Conservatism Audiobook

" This was a far more detailed and subtle look at politicing than normally appeals to me. "

" Always was a sucker for a good title. "

" An essay that should have remained one. Dry and not that engaging. "

" Started off dense but last two thirds flew by. Lays out very clear examples of conservatives demonstrating similar behavior to what we currently see against President Obama. And these examples go back to FDR, so it's not a new phenomenon. "

" I like Sam Tanenhaus. He's one of my favorite Commie, Pinko, lefties. However his book seems to ignore that the left is just as out of touch, as the right has become, with midde America. "

" More of an essay than a book. Not very compelling reading, but a good overall summary of conservatism over the past 80 years. Most definitely written subjectively from a left-center perspective, the title reflects more of the writer's hope than the reality. "

" I saw Tanenhaus on Bill Moyers, he had some thoughtful things to say, figured I'd give his book a crack. It's good stuff - not quite the fire-breathing left-wing rhetoric you'd expect based on the title. Rather, it's a calmly-told history of the conservative movement from the New Deal onward. "

" Well . . . we can only hope. Another good book that helps explain the right-wing insanity of 2009. "

" Not persuasive, barely coherent. Simply not good. "

" Good analysis of the way what he calls 'movement' conservatives strayed from, redefined conservatism during the past thirty years. Cautionary tale for liberals. Ultimately power and/or the pursuit of power corrupts. "

" I read this short book when it came out a couple of years ago and then against over the last two days. The election only confirmed what Tanenhaus wrote. I wish that my all of my conservative friends would read this instead of listening to Rush and Hannity. "

" A very thoughtful book that is unfortunately mistitled. If anything it is about how conservatives have lost their way in a nation that is becoming conservative in the Burke tradition. "
