I occasionally visit my local Barnes and Noble. My purchases are limited to Christian and children’s books for the kids. Received my weekly email from them this morning marketing the following. Sorry B&N, looks like I just had to cancel you.

Sometimes I see drivel like this and the only way to keep my sanity is to remind myself these people live in an alternate reality.

Barnes and Noble was original Soy. A refuge for the enlitened NPR latte set. It's always reminded me of a liberal arts library with a profit motive.

That's the one thing I saw that I thought was right on the money.

The Republican Party does almost nothing it campaigns on. And this has been the case for some time.

I'm not really even sure it's all that debatable.

It's why there was a Tea Party. It's why we have Donald Trump as POTUS.

B&N should market all books of all political angles.

BUT, this sure does look like some SJW Peppermint Patty’s smorgasbord of Trump Hate!

Especially since conservative books actually sell. I bet any one of Bill O’Reilly’s sold more than every book on that list combined.

The most prominently advertised books were the Pull of the Stars and the Trebek book. I wonder if I get a different email blast? I get the New and Notable and the Weekend Roundup.

I did find a link a little further down for Current Affairs and Politics and if you click that, it definitely strongly leans left. It's your list and then some.

I didn’t realize “current events” meant an endorsement of the Democratic Party. I will have to take a look at my setting. Thanks.

We should burn books like that. Too bad the boomer conservatives on this board think burning this filth would be a bad thing.
