on the right: John Ringo is a guilty obsession of mine, but will make any classic liberal's eyes roll hard enough to detach corneas Do not read that book if you can't handle liberal bashing. In a weak defense, his best books, the Alldenata series, Looking Glass series, and Troy series are such a blast to read. While there are a few snipes in them, a forgiving person on the left can really enjoy if they like military sci fi.

The Honorverse books make caricatures of socialism, and diplomacy oriented foreign policy.

While not being the worst offenders, Ark and Flood illustrate a similar style on the left. I tore through them, which would seem to tell me I enjoyed them, but when I was finished I could not look back and say they were good books. Objectively, they probably are.

Invasion was excrutiating. The protagonists are disgusting people. You get lots of mocking of religion for being so silly and irrational, yet the main character has lots of prophetic spiritualism through his enlightened use of hallucinogens. The author(s)' have such a laughably exaggerated idea of what "country people" are (anyone who doesn't live in a major city on the coast), you would think they had never even had a long layover anywhere in flyover country, much less actually spent any time outside NY or LA.

I am a voracious reader, and promptly forget authors and titles so I am having problems justifying my comments with other (better) examples.

It may be easier for me to pick out all of this stuff. I spent the first half of my adult life being very conservative. I like to think I was an intellectual conservative and reasonable, but definitely solidly Republican. Over the past 10 years I have transitioned to what most would consider the opposite extreme. I would roughly place my ideology (with exceptions) in a "Northern European center-left" which would have me very far left in the US.

It isn't when authors advocate an ideology that irritates me. It is when they seem to refuse to admit there are intelligent, reasonable people on the other side.
