In Thank the Liberals, political commentator and Fox
News radio host Alan Colmes explains how people who fight
for liberal ideals help our country move forward. With his
trademark humor and wit, Colmes walks readers through the
founding of our nation and shows how America was based on a
liberal idea. Our very founders were progressives, and it’s
progressives who have led America to be the country it is
today. Through legislation, constitutional amendments,
Supreme Court decisions, and the actions of grassroots
Americans, we see that it is liberal efforts that are
responsible for programs intrinsic to our American
DNA—programs like Social Security, Medicare, assistance for
the needy, and the government safety nets that have saved us
during the recent economic downturn. Colmes’s goal is to show not only where we are today, but
also where we as a nation are going and how it is liberals
who will get us there. The divide between conservative and
progressive aims has gotten ever more stark, and it seems
that many conservatives are trying to take us backward,
revoking or rolling back hard-won rights and impeding
progress, which at best keeps us stranded in the status quo.
This continual push to the right is something liberals must
fight, and fight they do. On everything from preserving the
separation of church and state, to climate change,
regulating immigration, caring for the poor, and making
peace, not war, Colmes shows how liberals are leading the way. Thank the Liberals will open readers’ eyes to some of
the battles that will help define our nation as we move
forward. Colmes boldly shows that as America progresses, it
will become more liberal—just as it has done throughout
history—and that this will enable us to continue to stand
out as a beacon of freedom and democracy for the rest of the
world.
