In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we are beginning to see reviews (good and bad) to Dana Perino's new book The Purple State. The book reads more as "delusional fiction" rather than fiction itself, creating a utopia/distopia as the characters are faced with adapting to an open-minded viewpoint to life and love, versus continuing embracing their dogmatic liberal belief system that mirrors today's lefti...
