What People Are Saying

Gregg Spiridellis
"When the folks over at JibJab are looking for a fair and balanced laugh, Daniel Kurtzman's our guy. His How to Win a Fight with a Liberal / Conservative will have you in stitches regardless of your political affiliation!"--(Gregg Spiridellis, co-founder of JibJab.com)

Paul Lewis
"Sharply critical and consistently funny, How to Win a Fight with A Liberal and How to Win A Fight with a Conservative hold twin mirrors up to the illogical state of political debate in our divided country. Though they can be enjoyed for their wit alone, attentive readers will get Kurtzman's satirical point: in the exchange of pre-fabricated positions, the appeal to emotion, and the indulgence of self-approval, we have limited our ability to think clearly about urgent problems. Exposing such failures and mocking those responsible for them is the highest calling of the satirist."--(Paul Lewis, author of Cracking Up: American Humor in a Time of Conflict)

Will Durst
"Daniel Kurtzman doesn't have a political axe to grind. He has two axes to grind. And he does it with the sharpest wit seen in these bipartisan parts for quite some time. Crisscrossing the aisle with wicked glee; no matter which book you finish first, you'll immediately want to run out and get the other one to discover what he said about your side. Just remember to wear a disguise."--(Will Durst, political satirist, currently starring in "The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing")

Andy Borowitz
"No one knows political satire like Daniel Kurtzman."--(Andy Borowitz, creator of The Borowitz Report and author of The Republican Playbook)

What It Means to Be a Conservative

I never use the words Democrats and Republicans. It's Liberals and Americans.
-James Watt, Interior Secretary under Ronald Reagan

There's a reason that twice as many Americans identify themselves as "conservative" as call themselves "liberal." Would you rather associate yourself with an ideology that is synonymous with patriotism, strength, freedom, family values, moral clarity, and kicking terrorist ass? Or would you rather align yourself with defeatism, elitism, permissive values, moral uncertainty, and pussyfooting with terrorists-or as it's more commonly known, liberalism?
