This is a journey through the mind of the American Conservative, Right-Winger, Right Wing Zealot, Righty, Extremist, through cartoons depicting his and her importance as depicted by the political observer Sal Iver, and his artist brother, Al Iver, in this smartly written and humorously drawn book, "102 Uses for the American Conservative." There are far too many in the political and social scene who believe that American Conservatives have no use whatsoever. And some even cast them in a very negative light. How wrong they are Oh, how wrong they are. This icon of American life has many uses and has great value for us all. Venture into the world of the American Conservatives and learn first hand how valuable these fuzzy, warm creatures are and how lost the rest of us would be without them. The Iver brothers aren't nasty curmudgeons or dour, prickly grouches with an ax to grind. They really are very funny, insightful and delightful - and are the first to tell you this. (Their gerbils, however, think of them as pompous fools.). The Ivers just want to hold up a mirror to Conservatives to reflect on who they really are. This is a book that should have a place on the living room coffee table of anyone interested in politics in America - whether you are a Liberal or a Conservative.
