    <p>This is the time of year you Leftists list a whole bunch of books as &#8220;banned&#8221; that exist in every library in the world - like Harry Potter. Somewhere, some fundie complained and so you gleefully you add it to your &#8220;Banned Books&#8221; list. 

But I collect banned books - books you won&#8217;t find anywhere because thay are banned - truely banned. It isn&#8217;t some silly, powerless fundie that complained about these books - it is very wealthy, very powerful, and very dangerous people who complain about them.

For starters - anything David Irving every wrote. How about Alexander Solzhenitsyn&#8217;s &#8220;Little Black Book of Communism.&#8221; 

Then of course there is Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, author of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy &#8220;disinvited&#8221; from speaking at Chicago’s Council on Global Affairs.

Then there is the play &#8220;My Name is Rachael Corrie&#8221; banned by New York Theatre Workshop .

The list goes on - but of course you aren&#8217;t interested in books that are really banned. That would be dangerous - and not nearly so hip.</p>
