Bias is part of human nature, and the founders of the United States understood this. That's why they protected a privately owned media to serve as an unbiased watchdog to inform the public of the activities of the government. Over time, this sacred trust has been eroded, and the media has traded it's role as a conveyor of public opinion into the persuader of public opinion. Through their use of language, perpetuating false narratives and by blatantly ignoring facts, the mainstream media has pledged their influence and power to advance liberal ideology and control the minds of the American people. The Citizen's Guide To Defeating the Mainstream Media is a must have for anyone seeking to understand how propaganda is being used and how to confront those seeking to advance their political ideology at your expense. Harper spent years working as a congressional aide, political candidate, journalist, and commentator. He has worked "behind the curtain" of American politics and has developed this practical guide on how to identify, decode and confront media and political spin, along with practical exercises and group role play activities that prepare you to defeat an increasingly hostile media.
Evolution/ Science/ Darwin/ BiographyAre we politically, economically, morally, spiritually, and environmentally going up, down, sideways, or crazy? As progressive vision is swept aside by the politics of lunacy, what's to be done about global warming, nuclear overkill, terrorism, galloping corruption, rule by corporation?How are we to go forward rather then be driven backward in evolution? Darwin's Second Revolution is the first book of a trilogy written to provide a new grounding in historical, political, economic, moral, spiritual, and environmental reality for the theory and story of evolution and an integrated new scientific vision for our troubled time.Part I, The Triumph of the Neos, uncovers the story of what set us off in both better and worse evolutionary directions for the 20th and 21st centuries. Part II, A New Language for Evolution and Revolution, cuts through the baffling overload of scientific concepts and languages to a new path for moving ahead. Part III, The Rise and Fall of the Super Neos- including a hard-hitting critique of Richard Dawkins and fellow sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists, in contrast to the vision of Stuart Kauffman, Ervin Laszlo, and scores of Darwinian second revolutionaries-completes an amazing story of global psychotherapy for the 20th century with a vision of liberation for the 21st century. ..".

Modern liberalism in America today is really socialism rising in influence. Throughout history, the socialist agenda has been to place all social planning in the hands of the government and minimize or eliminate private enterprise. Today's American Liberals also strive to increase the power of government by taking responsibility out of the hands of the people and centering it in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats. Wittingly or not, as one of the two major parties in America today, there is one that has become the New Socialist Party of America.
A political guide of reasons not to like Republicans. For anyone unsure of how to vote, or what the pros and cons of the political party's are, this is a must read. It gives a good insight into what the Republicans stand for.
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.
There's a reason "The Nation, " America's leading progressive magazine, named Robert Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman." It's the same reason right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh refers to him as "disgusting." It's because for the last twelve years Wexler has been Congress's most outspoken liberal -- taking on George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, General David Petraeus, and, when necessary, even his own party. In "Fire-Breathing Liberal, " Wexler brings readers onto the floor of the House and puts them at the center of some of the last decade's biggest controversies. He passionately describes how he defended Bill Clinton from impeachment and how he stood up against the Bush brothers when the "butterfly" ballots in his Florida district wrongly decided the 2000 presidential election. He also offers an honest and brutal assessment of the Iraq war and explains why he has become a leader in the movement to impeach Vice President Cheney. And, with warmth and wit, Wexler shares some of the funniest stories from the corridors of Congress, including how he became "The Colbert Report"'s most talked-about guest. This is a remarkably candid first-person account of recent political history that shows government as it has rarely been seen -- by a Democrat in the middle of the storms.
The Far-Left Psychosis covers a wide range of topics including, Obama and the 2008 Presidential nominations, atheism, mass media, Radical Islam, and illegal immigration. These topics are discussed with a scathing wit as the author illuminmates the thinking behind the far-left's me-first behavior. The main thesis is to show how the far-left and Obama are accomplishing their goal of moving the entire country left.
This highly readable book is a unique, ethnographic study of devolution and Scottish politics as well as Party political activism more generally. It explores how Conservative Party activists who had opposed devolution and the movement for a Scottish Parliament during the 1990s attempted to mobilise politically following their annihilation at the 1997 General Election. It draws on fieldwork conducted in Dumfries and Galloway - a former stronghold for the Scottish Tories - to describe how senior Conservatives worked from the assumption that they had endured their own 'crisis' in representation. The material consequences of this crisis included losses of financial and other resources, legitimacy and local knowledge for the Scottish Conservatives. This book ethnographically describes the processes, practices and relationships that Tory Party activists sought to enact during the 2003 Scottish and local Government elections. Its central argument is that, having asserted that the difficulties they faced constituted problems of knowledge, Conservative activists cast to the geographical and institutional margins of Scotland became 'banal' activists. Believing themselves to be lacking in the data and information necessary for successful mobilisation during Parliamentary elections, local Tory Party strategists attempted to address their knowledge 'crisis' by burying themselves in paperwork and petty bureaucracy. Such practices have often escaped scholarly attention because they appear everyday and mundane and are therefore less noticeable. -- .
"There are cynics who say that a party platform is something that no one bothers to read and it doesn't very often amount to much. Whether it is different this time than it has ever been before, I believe the Republican Party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors, with no pastel shades." -Ronald Reagan, 1976 Republican National Convention When Ronald Reagan was called to the podium by President Ford during the 1976 Republican National Convention, he had no prepared remarks. But the unrehearsed speech he gave that night is still regarded as one of the most moving speeches of his political career. The reason he was able to give such a powerful speech on a moment's notice was that he was proclaiming the core principles of his heart and soul, which he had been teaching and preaching for years. "The New Reagan Revolution"""reveals new insights into the life, thoughts, and actions of the man who changed the world during the 1980s. The challenges and threats we face today are eerily similar to the conditions in the world before the beginning of the Reagan era.""The good news is that we already know what works. Ronald Reagan has given us the blueprint. This book is not merely a diagnosis of our nation's ills, but a prescription to heal our nation, rooted in the words and principles of Ronald Reagan. In these pages, you'll find a plan for returning America to its former greatness, soundness, and prosperity. It's the plan Ronald Reagan developed over years of study, observation, and reflection. It's a plan he announced to the nation, straight from his heart, one summer evening during America's 200th year. It's the plan he put into action during his eight years in office as the most effective president of the 20th century, and it is the plan we can use today to help return America to its former greatness, soundness, and prosperity.

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.
This is volume 17 in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers" series. James McGill Buchanan (B. 1919) is an American economist best known for his public choice theory. The founder of a new Virginia school of political economy, he has written extensively on subjects including public finance, macroeconomics, and libertarian theory. Buchanan's theory offered a basis for conservative political endeavors such as a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1986. "Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal conservative thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines, and traditions - the first series of its kind. Even the selection of thinkers adds another aspect to conservative thinking, including not only theorists but also writers and practitioners. The series comprises twenty volumes, each including an intellectual biography, historical context, critical exposition of the thinker's work, reception and influence, contemporary relevance, bibliography including references to electronic resources, and an index.
To his fellow conservatives, John Derbyshire makes a plea: Don't be
seduced by this nonsense about "the politics of hope." Skepticism,
pessimism, and suspicion of happy talk are the true characteristics
of an authentically conservative temperament. And from Hobbes and
Burke through Lord Salisbury and Calvin Coolidge, up to Pat
Buchanan and Mark Steyn in our own time, these beliefs have kept
the human race from blindly chasing its utopian dreams right off a
cliff. "From the Hardcover edition."
You've Got to Stand for Something examines America's founding principles and serves as an easy-to-use guide to the origins and intent of American government. Direct quotations from The Federalist Papers as well as other writings and speeches from the likes of Jefferson and Adams are used throughout the book to highlight the founders' interpretation of the proper role of government. Several important clauses from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States that are often misunderstand and have led to problematic expansions of governmental power over the years are examined to provide readers with a more historically and philosophically sound understanding of the government's proper Constitutional role. The renewal of self-government requires that individuals stand up for principles expressed in this book.
Was the financial collapsecaused by free-market capitalismand deregulation run amok, as liberals claim? Not on your life, says Peter Schweizer. In Architects of Ruin, Schweizer describes how a coalition of left-wing activists, liberal politicians, and "do-good capitalists" on Wall Street leveraged government power to achieve their goal of broadening homeownership among minorities and the poor. The results were not only devastating to the economy, but hurt the very people they were supposedly trying to help. This tale of liberal "Robin Hood capitalism run wild" has never beentold. But more than just a story about the past, Architects of Ruin is also an urgent warning about the future. The very same people who planted the seeds of the collapse are back in Washington, determined to use the crisis they caused as cover for a massive overhaul of the American economic system. These people have learned nothing from their past mistakes and are busy applying the same methods to other sectors of the economy--health care, the auto industry, real estate (again!), and above all the promotion of"green" technologies--inflating bubbles that are sure to bring about another crisis. Ordinary Americans who foot the bill for the last state-capitalist bubble have reason to be afraid--very afraid--of the inevitable result.
Every American must read this book before the next election In this book, Steve G Jozefczyk analyses today's partisan political environment from a rare perspective of rationality and human values, not the cliche and phony "family values" or "traditional values" so many charlatans espouse. Rather, Jozefczyk steps back from the ideological chatter that is dividing America and constructs a more realistic calculus of today's challenges, always contemplating and seeking just and humane solutions. Jozefczyk exposes the hypocrisy of the teabaggers, religious leaders, and of course politicians and the media. His insights are uncanny. His prescience is undeniable. If only these simple ideas had been implemented over the last three decades, the world today would be a wonderful place. At least that's the way he sees it. It's easy to criticize. However, it takes thought and a delicate balance of pragmatism and idealism to develop simple, but not simplistic, solutions to the issues of the day. Jozefczyk takes on relevant and growing dangers; income and wealth disparity, deteriorating business ethics, cults of hate, violence, and delusional beliefs, an inability or unwillingness to think independently, and a growing disregard for reality. Jozefczyk develops realistic, concrete solutions that deserve immediate implementation The reader will be left wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?" This is must read for anyone who can't or won't take the time or make the effort to listen critically to what's going on in America today. Apathy is not an option and ignorance is not an excuse.
"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
"A Convenient Lie" is obviously a retort to Al Gore's infamous book, "An Inconvenient Truth," and is the answer to the whole global climate change groundswell now invading the public consciousness. This is a counter reaction to a new group of global alarmists seeking to scare you out of your SUV and your hard earned tax dollars. Moreover, it is a counter strike to the ongoing ideological battle for the hearts and minds of all breathing human beings. I wanted to give a very different and optimistic outlook to the unsuspecting people who are being propagandized and inundated with doom and gloom scenarios in regard to this evolving phenomenon called global climate change. No doubt most Americans are going about their daily lives in the same manner, attempting to eke out a living in this all-consuming, highly regulated, restrictive, taxing time we live in today. The goal of this book is to disprove the latest global warming doomsday scenarios with pure, unadulterated, logical thinking, rational reasoning and a heavy dose of common sense. With my help and many common sense perspectives on climate changes, you will be able to stave off the bombardment of negative predictions hurled your way by a variety of liberal activists. I promise to do my best to avoid manipulated reports; pointless statistics, biased surveys and hapless predictions based on tree rings, and will try to get to the core of the issue. Straight talk, lined with a pinch of sarcasm, and a heaping helping of logic will provide all the ammo needed to combat the growing army of global warming fear-mongers.
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.

In the second half of the twentieth century, American conservatism emerged from the shadow of New Deal liberalism and developed into a movement exerting considerable influence on the formulation and execution of public policy in the United States. During that period, the political philosophers who provided the intellectual foundations for the American conservative movement were John H. Hallowell, Eric Voegelin, Leo Strauss, Richard Weaver, Russell Kirk, Robert Nisbet, John Courtney Murray, Friedrich Hayek, and Willmoore Kendall. By offering a comprehensive analysis of their thoughts and beliefs, The Dilemmas of American Conservatism both illuminates the American conservative imagination and reveals its most serious contradictions. The contributing authors question whether a core set of conservative principles can be determined based on the frequently diverging perspectives of these key philosophers.
Rendezvous with America The Unexpected Story.... In the political battlefield of 2008 where politicians were hiding under their desks and making sorry excuses for their overspending and irresponsible leadership, Sarah Palin took America by storm. Chronicling Governor Palin's life, Mark Nusbaum reveals the "real" Sarah Palin amidst the political turmoil unfolding around her. He describes in detail why her passion for individual liberty, limited government, and fiscal prudence is capturing American hearts and minds. To Democrats, "She is an existential threat" - Dick Morris To "business as usual" Republicans, she is their biggest nightmare. "Political figures like this don't come along very often. Republicans haven't seen anyone like Palin emerge from their ranks since Ronald Reagan...They've been starved for a leader with charisma and a knack for leadership. Now they have one." - Fred Barnes Weekly Standard It's a mistake to underestimate her... - Former President Bill Clinton Does She Have a Rendezvous with America? With masterful precision Mark Nusbaum weaves the ebb and flow of Governor Palin's 2008 campaign message into a platform of ideas that are destined to shape America's future. As she has spent her career fighting for and delivering transparency, accountability, limited government, and pro-growth economic policies for the citizens of Alaska, Sarah Palin is now on the edge of leading a movement to take America back from big government liberals. I watched the way she connected with people..., and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman... People connect to her." - Lorne Michaels, Executive Producer, Saturday Night Live "Now democrats have something to worry about!" - Howard Wolfson, Clinton Campaign Manager This book explains the impact Governor Palin's message and the choice Americans have in the days ahead.
Do Cubans live longer than Americans? Are Scandinavians happier than the British? Do Oscar winners live longer than other actors? Does capitalism cause mental illness? Does inequality lead to murder? Would higher taxes make us slimmer, more trusting and more charitable? The Spirit Level Delusion shines the light of reason on some of the extraordinary claims made in favour of big government in the twenty-first century. Several books (The Spirit Level, Happiness and Affluenza amongst others) have called for a radical shift in power from the individual to the state based on the supposedly devastating effects of wealth, economic growth and inequality. By examining all the available evidence, Christopher Snowdon tests the theory that 'more equal' countries are healthier, happier and more successful. Through a sober assessment of the facts-including some inconvenient truths-The Spirit Level Delusion shows that the theory not only lacks empirical support but also fails the basic test of believability. "If you haven t read a book that made you laugh out loud on the bus or the Tube in a while, try Christopher Snowdon s superb release, The Spirit Level Delusion. But the book s subtle humour is not the reason I am recommending it. The Spirit Level Delusion is, above all, a book that delivers and goes well beyond the promise of its subtitle 'fact-checking the left s new theory of everything'... It may well be that the next big battle for a free society will be fought against the new anti-wealth egalitarianism. Christopher Snowdon has provided defenders of freedom with powerful ammunition." Kristian Niemietz, Institute of Economic Affairs "Snowdon picks so many holes in the theory that were it a building it wouldn t be passed as structurally sound by the most crooked of third world local government surveyors... I wish that everyone who espoused The Spirit Level would read The Spirit Level Delusion, which explains just how dubious the science behind this grand theory is." Ed West, The Telegraph "The Spirit Level Delusion not only successfully and dramatically undermines much of the evidence in The Spirit Level, but also takes on the other fashionable opponents of economic growth... His engaging discussion unpicks the evidence of the anti-growth brigade and demonstrates that it is selective and partial. This book is excellent tube reading . Philip Booth, City AM
