Nationally syndicated talk-radio host and noted film critic Michael Medved has taken an extraordinary journey from liberal activist to outspoken conservative. Along the way he has earned millions of admirers—and more than his share of enemies—by advancing controversial, often counterintuitive arguments, including:
Liberals love losing because it makes them feel virtuous
America isn’t normal—it’s bizarrely blessed
Hollywood has lost touch with America—and punishes people who point that out
Conservatives are both happier and nicer than liberals
Talk radio is a source of hope, not hatred
Business isn’t exploitative—it’s heroic
There is no such thing as “planned parenthood”
A more Christian America is good for the Jews
Do-it-yourself conservatism provides the only cure for save-the-world liberalism

In the candid, electrifying Right Turns, Medved chronicles the adventures that taught him these and many other lessons—the startling events that propelled him from Vietnam protest leader to optimistic promoter of American patriotism, from secularism to religion, from adventurous single guy to doting husband and father. In the process he skewers leftist orthodoxy, revealing why the Right is right and why his former colleagues on the Left remain hopelessly wrong on every cultural, political, and social issue.
