Book Review: Conservative Like Me

Title: Conservative Like Me
Subtitle: Restoring American Politics, Piety & Patriotism from the Ground Up
Author: Evan Archilla
Rating: 3 (1-5 scale)

This is a nice, little book, and i agree with most of its content. I like how Archilla approaches his themes from the perspective of a new or recent arrival to our great country.

But it's pretty light on research or nuanced argument. Call it "Conservatism for Dummies", like the recent spate of similarly-titled books. Which is not to disparage the book at all, but rather to accurately describe what you're getting. I mean, we all need one of those Dummies book for something.

If you want more in-depth looks at these topics, check out the Heritage Foundation. It should be your next stop after this primer.
