"In a culture where humorless leftists scolds seek to impose their rule upon us normals by sucking
every drop of joy out of life, it is the conservative smartass who is the true subversive. Don’t look to
Hollywood’s allegedly edgy comics to zing the zeitgeist – hacky proggy stand-ups and
interchangeable liberal late-night hosts are the opposite of rebels, with their dreadfully generic
opinions and lockstep jokes designed to get the herd of trained seals that makes up their fishbreathed
audience beating their flippers. No, if you want someone who snarks truth to power
instead of speaking consensus coastal truth to the powerless, you gotta step to the right.

"Lisa is having none of their nonsense. A long-time veteran of the conservative movement (for years
she organized and ran CPAC, the Woodstock for people who yearn to see Mike Pence up close or
watch Ted Cruz do an acoustic set), Lisa gets it. But she also gets life – her book Finding Mr.
Righteous was an eye-opening and, at times, agonizingly honest look at a young woman's journey in
modern America, specifically the conservative world. She knows how to write about people with a
particular identity without making it about that identity, so she's the perfect choice to go after
nimrods who are nothing but their chosen identity. " . . .
