re: #162 Sharmuta

After Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater, I think the next most important book those of us serious about taking back the party need to read is A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell.

/just sayin’

I would suggest that The Road To Serfdom by Frederick A. Hayek should be in there somewhere.

Btw: the Marx quote is:

“Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.”
