If you are like most people, you have a lot of unanswered questions about politics. You may be curious about why George H. W. Bush chose Dan Quayle as his running mate. Or you may wonder how the party of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, came to be the party opposing civil rights. Who are the Neo-Cons and what have they been up to, you may be asking. You might be asking the same question about the Religious Right. If a president labels other countries as evil, is war inevitable? This book delves into these and many other questions.
