Declaring that there hasn't been a "real" Democrat in the White House since Lyndon Johnson, Ted Rall decries the hijacking of the US government by right-wingers and the seeming powerlessness of the left to stop them...

'Wake Up, You’re Liberal - How We Can Take America Back From the Right' by Ted Rall

Wake Up, America! You're Liberal! features his trademark no-holds-barred invective and 30 thought-provoking illustrations. Rall, seeing the left in disarray, tells liberal Americans how to organise a vibrant, relevant alternative to rightist rule and make life better for vast numbers of people in the process.

In fact, he says, in order to enjoy the mainstream majority status they deserve, liberals must strive to create a viable American left centred around an effective Democratic party, a party which stands on it's own feet. One thing about Ted Rall, you either like him or you want to see him die painfully.

He's like Michael Moore on a steroid overdose, and finds no political cow too sacred to gut, such as his infamous cartoon about ranger Pat Tillman, which elicited death threats galore. However relatively little of that invective is on display in this book, just solid common sense for thinking voters.
