Thunder on the Left On the Jim Bohannon Show, author Gary Aldrich discussed his book Thunder on the Left: An Insider’s Report on the Hijacking of the Democratic Party, from Regnery Publishing. The author said that politicians on the far left are dangerous threats who favor big government, and that even moderate Republicans downplay the threat posed by the hard-left by classifying them as politicians with whom they disagree. He stated that liberal politicians are in favor of controls on things such as sport utility vehicles, foreign policy, the media, and homeland defense. He responded to listeners' comments. close
