Double Standards: The Selective Outrage of the Left

by Larry Elder

Larry Elder calls them like he sees them. And in this collection of some of his best columns, he wields his pen against anyone who doesn’t. Welfare, the Iran nuclear deal, Ferguson, the Republican primaries and the ascendancy of Donald Elder takes on a breadth of controversial issues. His incisive wit cuts right to the heart of hypocrisy in public discourse, particularly that of the left -- which taps into its “moral” outrage when it’s politically expedient and becomes curiously docile when it’s not. “The truth will not set you free if delivered without hope,” he writes in one column, quoting his late mother. Though he’s not hopeful about certain politicians, Elder is fundamentally optimistic about the American He believes in their power to overcome almost any circumstance -- if only government would stop telling them they can’t.

Regardless of political affiliation, this book just wasn’t good.

It delivered on the titles promise, but it was through (what felt like) a very one demential thought process. Picking apart Pope Francis’s speech on climate change and Marshawn Lynch on what was meant to be a compliment towards his mom, was pretty weak. Being a collection of essays, also made it repetitive.

I definitely want to read more of Larry Elder. This was a great collection of articles from 2015.
