Flag-Waving, Patriotic American Liberal
by Jean Hay
Published in 1996 to help defray some leftover campaign expenses,
this book is even more relevant today.
Direct from the grass roots to you,
in 50 tight columns, essays and campaign speeches,
read what Jean Hay has to say about...
...liberalism: "Hate to tell you, folks, but taking your definition of a liberal from Rush Limbaugh is akin to taking your definition of a Jew from Hitler, either before or after he, as Marge Schott explained, 'went too far.' "
...abortion rights: "I do not see my America in the Republican drive to declare the wombs of American women to be government property."
..the military: "People who do not respect people of other genders or sexual orientation should not be issued weapons and taught how to kill."
ISBN 0-9657759-0-9
...violence: "Real men know how to control themselves."
also "Do we really now live in a country where the neighbors can consider someone perfectly normal, except for the fact that he's killed a couple of people?"
...the flag-burning amendment: "Better the flag than the federal building. The flag can take it."
...seizing the opportunity: "When God hands you an apple, you bite."
