This book examines twelve ways in which Obama is systematically destroying our country. Obama's father said, " T]heoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 percent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed." Obama wrote, "It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself." His father hated capitalism and the Western nations, including America. This hatred was passed on to his son. Speaking of our current President, Obama's granny said, "I look at him and I see all the same things-he has taken everything from his father. The son is realizing everything the father wanted. The dreams of the father are still alive in the son." The Anti-American President exposes why Obama hates America and its free market system. It reveals Obama's pursuit of his father's Marxist dreams and his anti-American sentiments. It shows why Obama is fighting for excessive taxes and spending that will cripple the United States.

Down the Drain should be a national best seller as Vincent Mancino rants about what this great country of ours has become. Parents have created a nation of whiners and entitled youth that doesn't understand how we were created through capitalism and by allowing kids to be complacent and teaching them that no one wins or loses, well, America falters in its steps. Dealing with subjects of the day: Immigration, politicians, stay-at-home parents, and technology, Vincent pokes fun and offers changes that could be made in order to regain America's stature as a leader. This coffee table read isn't meant to offend, but with society's sensitive nature through the years, and a time when politicians can't fix any problems even by allocating new taxes, Vincent asks, "What the hell is really happening?" Buy this book and know that you're not alone in the desire for real change in America.

When Ronald Laone's son was eleven, he asked his father, "What does it mean to be a conservative?" From that simple question came a journey of political enlightenment for father and son, one that culminated in The Republican Party, a history of the Republican Party, leaders, and beliefs.

Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the origins of the Republican Party, Laone examines the various political battles of the nineteenth century and how they shaped the party's establishment in 1854 and its core ideologies. He then profiles each Republican president from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush, offering a short biography and major highlights of each one's presidency.

Laone also reveals the major political firsts of the Republican Party, including the first African-American US senator, the first Hispanic US congressman, and the first female US congresswoman, recording their significant contributions to the conservative movement. A comprehensive bibliography offers titles for further reading.

Thoroughly researched and educational, The Republican Party offers information for those seeking to understand the origins of conservative thinking, values, and beliefs within the American political system.

A conservative movement has already begun, but without a sound strategic blueprint for tomorrow, its future success is not assured. This book is a wake-up call. Though some may consider these truths politically incorrect, conservatives need to take a long look at the problems in this country and our responsibility to fight for the values we hold dear. It's time to face the ideological foes of this nation, and beat them in the battlefield of Ideas. It's time for conservatives to take a stand and be accountable. It's time to join the Good Fight

2011 edition, with a new introduction by the author and a new foreword by James Gustave Speth As discontent with the economic and political status quo mounts in the wake of the "great recession," America Beyond Capitalism is a book whose time has come. Gar Alperovitz's expert diagnosis of the long-term structural crisis of the American economic and political system is accompanied by detailed, practical answers to the problems we face as a society. Unlike many books that reserve a few pages of a concluding chapter to offer generalized, tentative solutions, Alperovitz marshals years of research into emerging "new economy" strategies to present a comprehensive picture of practical bottom-up efforts currently underway in thousands of communities across the United States. All democratize wealth and empower communities, not corporations: worker-ownership, cooperatives, community land trusts, social enterprises, along with many supporting municipal, state and longer term federal strategies as well. America Beyond Capitalism is a call to arms, an eminently practical roadmap for laying foundations to change a faltering system that increasingly fails to sustain the great American values of equality, liberty and meaningful democracy. Gar Alperovitz is the Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland and co-founder of the Democracy Collaborative. He is the author of numerous books, including Unjust Deserts (with Lew Daly), Making a Place For Community (with Thad Williamson and David Imbroscio), Rebuilding America (with Jeff Faux) and, in connection with foreign policy, Atomic Diplomacy and The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb.

Reveals the true nature of Conservative Party politics by examining the centrality of the myth of One Nation.

"A timely cannon blast at the right-wing media machine and how it subverts the principles of democratic representation

"Talk radio has done an end run around the voting populace. With Rush Limbaugh now the unofficial leader of the Republican Party and the far right controlling the five major syndicates, conservatives have a disproportionate voice in the medium--even in liberal cities such as New York, Boston, and San Francisco. Writing with his characteristic and incisive wit, Bill Press exposes the destructive power of Rush, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, and the other polarizing figures of talk radio who dominate 90% of the political airwaves today. Citing their own words as evidence, Press brilliantly makes the case that much of what is broadcast on radio and television today is--at best--distorted and partisan, and--at worst--lies, propaganda and bigotry sold by these talented modern-day pitchmen who have followings in the millions.

..".That to secure the Rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed..." Declaration of Independence

Why did the political authority of well-respected female reformers diminish after women won the vote? In "Battling Miss Bolsheviki" Kirsten Marie Delegard argues that they were undercut during the 1920s by women conservatives who spent the first decade of female suffrage linking these reformers to radical revolutions that were raging in other parts of the world. In the decades leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment, women activists had enjoyed great success as reformers, creating a political subculture with settlement houses and women's clubs as its cornerstones. Female volunteers piloted welfare programs as philanthropic ventures and used their organizations to pressure state, local, and national governments to assume responsibility for these programs.These female activists perceived their efforts as selfless missions necessary for the protection of their homes, families, and children. In seeking to fulfill their "maternal" responsibilities, progressive women fundamentally altered the scope of the American state, recasting the welfare of mothers and children as an issue for public policy. At the same time, they carved out a new niche for women in the public sphere, allowing female activists to become respected authorities on questions of social welfare. Yet in the aftermath of the suffrage amendment, the influence of women reformers plummeted and the new social order once envisioned by progressives appeared only more remote."Battling Miss Bolsheviki" chronicles the ways women conservatives laid siege to this world of female reform, placing once-respected reformers beyond the pale of political respectability and forcing most women's clubs to jettison advocacy for social welfare measures. Overlooked by historians, these new activists turned the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Legion Auxiliary into vehicles for conservative political activism. Inspired by their twin desires to fulfill their new duties as voting citizens and prevent North American Bolsheviks from duplicating the success their comrades had enjoyed in Russia, they created a new political subculture for women activists. In a compelling narrative, Delegard reveals how the antiradicalism movement reshaped the terrain of women's politics, analyzing its enduring legacy for all female activists for the rest of the twentieth century and beyond.

Ilya Katz ran thousands of miles to escape a socialist "paradise" in the former Soviet Union, but he never thought an American president would try to introduce a similar system in his new homeland. Katz believes that President Barack Obama promotes a dangerous leftist policy that rewards the lazy and punishes the middle class and businesses. Responsible rightists everywhere need to take action so that his policies don't continue. In this satire on Obama and his politics, Katz shares his insights on the dangerous path the United States is on. It's not too late to reverse course. The sayings and cartoons in this book will make you laugh, make you angry, and maybe even make you cry. Obama is our president. That isn't a position-it's a diagnosis. Our Chief-of-Mischief pinches the balls of the entire population, and soon they will not only sing soprano but will also howl like a wolf. "We've got a dream ... we've got a dream." Yes, but somehow it turned into a nightmare. Obama, however, does not have a dream; he is already Obama. Join Katz as he battles socialistic idiotism in this first volume of Obamasutra.

Richard Brookhiser wrote his first cover story for the renowned conservative magazine "National Review" in 1969, when he was fourteen, and became the magazine's youngest senior editor at age twenty-three. William F. Buckley Jr. was Brookhiser's mentor, hero, and admirer--but their relationship was, at times, a troubled one. Brookhiser remained a friend and colleague of Buckley throughout his time at the "Review," however, and in "Right Time, Right Place," Brookhiser tells the story of that tumultuous relationship with affection and clarity, while also providing a sparkling eyewitness account of the conservative intellectual and political ferment that Buckley nurtured and led.

As the post-modern world lurches toward the disasters and bereavements that signal the end of an age, we turn to myth to comprehend the elemental forces that move through our lives, to know who we are, to understand which stories inform our consciousness. MADNESS AT THE GATES OF THE CITY, writes Robert Johnson in his introduction, "shows how America regularly re-enacts old patterns that cause us to subvert our goals and miss the deeper meaning in events. But by looking at American history, politics and popular culture through the lenses of Greek mythology, indigenous wisdom and archetypal psychology, the author discovers new hope in very old ways of thinking. This book should appeal to anyone interested in myth, Classics, history, psychology or progressive politics." Barry Spector writes about American history and politics from the perspectives of myth, indigenous traditions and archetypal psychology. He is a regular contributor to Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche and the online journal Mythic Passages.

"The Party of Hell No" is a collection of quotes, facts and pictures from the GOP and friends. Issues from racism to abortion, gay rights to torture, the GOP has had a lot to say. They've questioned First Lady Michelle Obama's patriotism and President Obama's legal right to be President. On our national debt, GOP Senate Republican Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell said, "The country really didn't have any serious debt problems until that reckless Obama came to town." During the health care debate, Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana said, "We don't want to be labeled the party of "no." As it pertains to this bill, how about, "HELL NO?" Dr. Tom Coburn, U.S. Senator from Oklahoma said "Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?" And don't forget Rush Limbaugh saying, "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled, by dictate." This book has hundreds of quotes and points of view as directly expressed by Michele Bachman, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Karl Rove, Tom Delay and many more Republicans aka the PHN. The Republicans are talking, you should be listening

They think Obama Isn't an American citizen.
They think Obama wants to put Americans in Concentration Camps.
They think Obama is the Anti-Christ.
This isn't just the Tea Party--Welcome to the Backlash.

The election of Barack Obama provoked unparalleled anger on the far right that eventually twisted important national discussions and pushed ideas from the conservative fringe into the mainstream media. In this gripping exposE, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Will Bunch reveals the secrets behind the crusade against the president, exploring how forces like radical militia groups, the Tea Party, pro-gun zealots, and Glenn Beck have combined old-fashioned populist outrage with digital-age phobias to produce a wave of resentment that many have ridden straight to the bank. Pulling back the curtain on the paranoid politics of a new generation, Bunch exposes the opportunists who have embraced apocalyptic fearmongering, and shows how events such as the election of America's first African-American president, the economic recession, and the rise of social networking have created a dangerous political moment that poses legitimate risks to democracy in America.

'The Law' is at once a logical and wonderfully concise introduction to libertarian philosophy, and a strident call for 'small government'. Frederic Bastian's classic, written in 1850, defines the law as "collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense."and then shows how this same law has been perverted, "annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain, aiding] the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the liberty and property of others. Given the prevalence of governmental intervention in the developed world, Frederic Bastian's analysis is as relevant today as it was 160 years ago, a must-read for all wishing to see behind the rhetoric into the heart of today's global problems.

Americans find themselves in genuine confusion and dismay concerning the actions of President Obama's administration. None of Obama's most important campaign promises--ending the Iraq war, abolishing torture, closing Guantanamo, changing Washington's culture of corruption--has come to pass. Instead, he has bailed out the bankers, escalated the conflict in Afghanistan, launched a new war in Libya, and institutionalized the civil rights abuses of the Bush regime.

Roger D. Hodge makes the provocative case that substantive reform was never even on the table. Behind the euphoria of Obama's victory was in fact a business-as-usual corporate machine. Obama's presidency has demonstrated that mere hope is never enough, that change will come only when the American people take charge of their own politics. A brilliantly crafted call to arms, The Mendacity of Hope offers an essential analysis of the American political system and the powerful interests that control our government.

This book is about liberal legislators and presidents in Washington, D. C. destroying our Constitutional Republic, and what we citizens must do to stop them. Our Founding Fathers gave us the most profound and amazing governmental system in history, a form of government based on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They laid the foundation for what might be possible in a free society. William Gladstone, four-time Prime Minister of England, said of the Constitution, ..".it is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." Liberal politicians think they know a better way, and have proceeded to disregard the Constitution, the free market system and their responsibility to provide an environment in which people are empowered to stand on their own two feet, receiving their rewards based on what they accomplish in their lives. Rather, they have convinced millions of people to believe the lie that the best in life for them is to become wards of the State and receive the monthly "gov'ment" check. The development of the welfare state is the result, and this cannot exist alongside a Constitutional Republic. A welfare state degrades people by convincing them they are incapable of caring for themselves. A Constitutional Republic provides every citizen with freedom to be responsible for themselves by developing and using the potential our Maker placed within them during the creation process. Liberal legislators have considered themselves to be the the "do-good-ers" by helping the poor. In reality, they have been the "do-badders." In the process, they have brought our nation to its knees. In the last election, we elected a man to our highest office who has no intention of following the Constitution, and he has a deep need or lust for determination of what this nation will become. Can what they have done be corrected? Yes, it can, but restoration of a Constitutional Republic will demand the best that real Americans have within them. We are the ones who will put our nation back on the road that leads to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness for all who are wiling to earn it.

America is currently at a tipping point. There is an ideological battle between the Left Progressive Liberals and the Right Wing Conservatives. This book illustrates the massive defects in the Right's policies that have led us to the brink of a precipitous fall over a cliff. The book provides the real narrative that should be the balance between the corporation, the government, and the individual citizen. It dispels the notion of the corporation being inherently more benevolent than the government. Most importantly the book presents a logical solution to the economic woes of the country. Implemented over time the suggested policy changes would ensure that America lives up to the America we all expect it to be.

Over the last few decades, the Supreme Court and the federal appellate courts have undergone a dramatic shift to the right, the result of a determined effort by right-wing lawmakers and presidents to reinterpret the Constitution by reshaping the judiciary. Conservative activist justices have narrowed the scope of the Constitution, denying its protections to millions of Americans, exactly as the lawmakers who appointed and confirmed these jurists intended. Basic long-standing principles of constitutional law have been overturned by the Rehnquist and Roberts courts. As distinguished law professor and constitutional expert Erwin Chemerinsky demonstrates in this invaluable book, these changes affect the lives of every American.
As a result of political pressure from conservatives and a series of Supreme Court decisions, our public schools are increasingly separate and unequal, to the great disadvantage of poor and minority students. Right-wing politicians and justices are dismantling the wall separating church and state, allowing ever greater government support for religion. With the blessing of the Supreme Court, absurdly harsh sentences are being handed down to criminal defendants, such as life sentences for shoplifting and other petty offenses. Even in death penalty cases, defendants are being denied the right to competent counsel at trial, and as a result innocent people have been convicted and sentenced to death. Right-wing politicians complain that government is too big and intrusive while at the same time they are only too happy to insert the government into the most intimate aspects of the private lives of citizens when doing so conforms to conservative morality. Conservative activist judges say that the Constitution gives people an inherent right to own firearms but not to make their own medical decisions. In some states it is easier to buy an assault rifle than to obtain an abortion.
Nowhere has the conservative assault on the Constitution been more visible or more successful than in redefining the role of the president. From Richard Nixon to George W. Bush, conservatives have sought to significantly increase presidential power. The result in recent years has been unprecedented abuses, including indefinite detentions, illegal surveillance, and torture of innocent people.
Finally, access to the courts is being restricted by new rulings that deny legal protections to ordinary Americans. Fewer lawsuits alleging discrimination in employment are heard; fewer people are able to sue corporations or governments for injuries they have suffered; and even when these cases do go to trial, new restrictions limit damages that plaintiffs can collect.
The first step in reclaiming the protections of the Constitution, says Chemerinsky, is to recognize that right-wing justices are imposing their personal prejudices, not making neutral decisions about the scope of the Constitution, as they claim, or following the "original meaning" of the Constitution. Only then do we stand a chance of reclaiming our constitutional liberties from a rigid ideological campaign that has transformed our courts and our laws. Only then can we return to a constitutional law that advances freedom and equality.

Exactly what is a Democrat? Why do people decide to be Democrats? What is the common thread that bonds us a Democrats? Why is the Democratic Party so diverse? To Be a Democrat answers these questions through the words of well-known Americans, from Thomas Jefferson to Barack Obama. Their letters, essays and speeches, which are divided into three sections - Courage, Principles and Progress - illustrate the historical strengths, diversity, and accomplishments of the Democratic Party.

"A provocative, inspiring account of our neglected American ideals and the people who are living them today--and restoring our nation's dream

"Patriotism has become a loaded word: one that is wielded against people with whom we might disagree, or whose cultural origins don't match our own.

But our founding fathers--Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and others--saw patriotism as a dynamic force: an act of service, in an evolving nation that defined its purpose by offering all people a better way of life.

In "Authentic Patriotism, "author and award-winning journalist Stephen P. Kiernan explores the original ideals that have been lost in our current climate, where war and economic turmoil have eroded our sense of civic obligation. Kiernan describes "a nation adrift," out of touch with its origins--and then introduces a range of inspiring people who have revived our national purpose by taking action:

* The out-of-work college graduate who led an economic and environmental renewal of her blighted home community.

* The retired executive who pioneered a revolutionary concept in health care for people without insurance.

* The minister who created a legendary choir, with the goal of uniting children of different races, genders, and classes in one voice.

* The family who donated their daughter's heart, so that another might live.

These and other "New Americans" are profiled in a book that offers hope, ideas, examples, and practical resources for readers who want to renew the American spirit.
