CLOUGH'S WRITINGS HAVE THAT RARELY FOUND INGREDIENT: TRUTH. Jan 21, 2006
By Jack Of Alltrades
"Just another soul"
If your mind is controlled by TV and mainstream media steer clear of this book. If, however, you value truth over cheerleading for your political team, then prepare to feast. This collection is an antidote for the poison of corporate media, progressive education and politics as usual. You will recognize the cold hard diamond of truth in these well researched, calmly presented articles. Were this world what it should be, Clough would be revered as a philosopher. But in a world where truth is feared by some, hated by others, no doubt his writings will be limited to those few readers who can break through the web of mind control to think for themselves. Be one of them.

A gentleman speaks Sep 29, 2009
By Mark S. Edwards
"Metaphysician"
These 20 essays are perfectly written with the proper amount of scorn, bluntness and sanity.
A primer, an introduction for those folks no longer afraid to read reasoned, unpopular speech.

Clough is a brilliant and hilarious political critic May 21, 2009
By A. Kent-Isaac
Thomas Clough's writing reminds me a great deal of another political and social critic of our times, Tom Wolfe. Like Wolfe, he combines a passionate skepticism with a high degree of caustic humor. No target escapes Clough's critiques in "Weird Republic" - and unlike many right-wing "talking heads" in the news media, Clough is not merely a polemicist but a thorough analyst who always has solid facts to back up his views. Why his website seems so obscure is a mystery to me; he is a more skilled writer than the vast majority of people who have blogs and other websites. I definitely recommend weirdrepublic.com, though I think there should be a guestbook or a discussion forum so that there can be a higher level of interaction between the readers and the author.
