Do you want to know who is largely responsible for the decline of America in the last half century? And do you want to know why? Roger Simon has written the answer in an original and significant book. He may have even coined a term that will become part of the American lexicon: Moral Narcissism. Few will agree with everything he has written. But so what? He forces you to thinknot just feel. This is precisely what we need. Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated talk radio host, columnist, and New York Timesbestselling author Roger L. Simon's riveting I Know Best fires a bullet into the heart of political correctness. In his inimitable style, he exposes the insufferable Moral Narcissism that is tearing our society apart. David Limbaugh, political commentator and author of The Emmaus Code The race card players and hustlers don't want a color-blind society, they want a color coordinated one as long as they do the coordinating. Roger's book offers a welcome and needed perspective on the game that hurts the very people these leftists-hustlers claim to care about. Larry Elder, national talk show host with the Salem Radio Network and author of What's Race Got to Do with It? Simon perceptively shows how elite self-regard drives today's destructive race politics, among other contemporary pathologies. His fresh analysis of President Barack Obama's response to the Trayvon Martin case was a revelation. Heather Mac Donald, Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute

Roger L. Simon made his living writing novels and screenplays before he took the New Media plunge as co-founder and CEO of the pioneering blog aggregation and news and opinion website PJ Media (formerly Pajamas Media) in 2005. In books, he is best known for his series of the eight Moses Wine detective novels, which have been translated into over a dozen languages and won prizes from the Mystery Writers of America and the Crime Writers of Great Britain. The first Moses Wine novel was The Big Fix, made into a film starring Richard Dreyfuss for which Simon wrote the screenplay, bringing him to Hollywood. Among his many screenplays are Bustin' Loose (with Richard Pryor), Scenes from a Mall (with Bette Midler and Woody Allen) and the Paul Mazursky-directed Enemies, A Love Story, for which Simon was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. A Better Life, for which Roger wrote the story, was released in 2011 with its lead actor, Damien Bichir, also nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award. Simon also directed the independent feature Prague Duet, starring Gina Gershon and based on a screenplay he wrote with his wife Sheryl Longin (Dick).
