Right from the Heart: The ABC's of Reality in America

If, as some have said, conservatives are ruled by facts and liberals by emotions, one would be hard-put to find a better example than popular radio talk-show host Phil Valentine’s Right from the Heart: The ABCs of Reality in America. Initially his ABCs were developed as a primer to be posted on his Web site in order to bring his listeners up to speed on his viewpoints. The short Web essays proved so popular and informative he realized he had struck a responsive chord, that the realities he had outlined spoke to a great number of people.

Right from the Heart provides a conservative viewpoint on a wide range of ideas, from A to Z. Among them are guns, global warming, drugs, partial birth abortion, education, political correctness, entrepreneurs, and the wisdom of Ronald Reagan. In doing so, it covers the hot issues of today as well as perennial topics of interest. The knowledge he imparts is more than just information. It’s ammunition from his radio commentaries in which he debunks the arguments of the Left.

Many arguments between liberals and conservatives degenerate into name-calling and unsubstantiated claims. Right from the Heart distills those raw emotions and extraneous thoughts into a cohesive argument for conservative principles and values, covering the full array of today’s fiscal and social issues in a manner that is comprehensive without being overwhelming.
