After lunch, the meeting picked back up with Tom Bethell, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science. Covering topics from cloning to nuclear power, Bethell turned the science community on its head when he wrote this book.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature author Elizabeth Kantor stepped up next. She discussed the ways literature is taught incorrectly in all levels of school, and how to give yourself the education denied by those teachers. In her book, she also shows the true meanings behind many of the greatest written works.

Tackling a subject at which so many other fail, Carrie Lukas and her The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex and Feminism, touched on some of the areas that impact college students the most. Destroying the idea of "women's studies" courses at colleges and universities and the "great strides" feminists have made for "women's liberation," Lukas talked about how pride in womanhood doesn't always mean you have to be a feminist.

With global warming in the papers every day, Chris Horner, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism was a welcome touch. He spoke about the myths associated with global warming, the movie he made refuting idea after idea in Al Gore's tale, and "carbon footprint" offsets that are being sold all across the globe. He, like Sen. Inhofe the day before, showed the scores of sensationalized accounts of climate change from the past and pointed to science to support the idea that the earth has a warming cycle ... which means there's nothing wrong at all!

The final author of the day, Robert Spencer, wrote The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), an international best-seller. Spencer is a world-renowned expert on Islam, lecturing to the governments of the United States and Germany, various universities and on numerous television stations. He shared his many years full of experience on Islam and talked about the hidden dangers in the Koran.

And just like Thursday, we closed our day with a student panel. University of Virginia Law School, The College of New Jersey, Warren County Community College and the American Conservative Student Union were all well represented. The main focus of this panel was political action on campus, in the form of creating groups and clubs of like-minded students. Their experience shows that conservatives can have a voice on college campuses!
