Clemens Outland Communications, 2004 I'm suprised! I bought this book figuring I knew it was obviously going to be anti-George W. Bush. But I'm surprised at how fact-based it is. By that I mean the author isn't just giving opinions about our current President, he's citing actual documents and official sources in illustrating the many liberties taken by the Bush administration. It's amazing just how much George W has gotten away with, going ...             300 Ways to Ask the Four Questions10 reviews Murray Spiegel and Rickey Stein Spiegel-Stein Publishing, 2008 Amazing! After cooking and cleaning all week, I stayed up late the night before the first seder to read this book. I just couldn't put it down! I brought it to our friends' house for seder, and we spent more than an hour passing the book around, taking turns reading the questions in every language we had even a passing acquaintance with, and many we didn't! We couldn't stop laughing, but it also sparked ...             Why I Am a Reagan Conservative13 reviews Michael K. Deaver Amazon Remainders Account, 2005 What the Republican Right Wing Is Thinking Edited by Michael Deaver, this is a series of essays by prominent Republicans who are remembering Ronald Reagan. Reagan will probably go down in the history books as one of the better presidents during this time period. After all, at the beginning of the period we were in the midst of the Cold War and at the end it was over, the Soviet Union was no more. Untold fortunes spent, tremendous risks of ...             Why You're Wrong About the Right: Behind the Myths: The Surprising Truth About Conservatives10 reviews S. E. Cupp, Brett Joshpe Threshold Editions, 2009 Take down the straw men! Progress of any kind or political persuasion can't come from a denial of reality, a viewpoint shared by NYTimes columnists as well as Ayn Rand. Yet, pursuits of this noble goal often degenerate into simplistic name-calling, and a concomitant spiral into the world of straw-men-bashing and knee-jerk labeling. Given the frightful prevalence of these narrow-minded specters populating any attempt ...             The Conservative 100: The Most Influential Thinkers, Writers, Statesmen and Leaders from Aristotle to ...6 reviews Jonah Goldberg Citadel Pr, 1997 A nonexistent book by Jonah is still better... ...than most books currently in print. ("Living History" comes to mind.) And unlike Al Gore's recent tomes, no one can make jokes about Jonah's book being in a remainder bin in two weeks or being used as a doorstop. Possessing the sort of evanescent quality one only otherwise finds in libraries of books on French military bravery, Jonah's book is accurately described as "the quickest, most ...             Being Right Is Not Enough: What Progressives Must Learn from Conservative Success8 reviews Wiley, 2006 Useful High-End Book on Strategy for the Center-Left I bought this book together with "The Good Fight" by Peter Beinart. While both books have their utility, neither is as good as Joe Klein in "Politics Lost." Waldman gets five stars to Beinart's four mostly because he is much more readable, has many useful tables including an analysis of the states where extremist Republicans as well as extremist Democrats are weak, and his book is generally ...             Iraq: Providing Hope8 reviews Eric Holmes Timberwolf Press, 2005 A MUST READ BOOK ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR A Collection of Stories from 50 people involved with Rebuilding Iraq The book "Iraq: Providing Hope" is a fascinating collection of interesting and at times, even provocative, personal life experiences from 50 people involved with the rebuilding efforts of Iraq. Eric Holmes and Michael Parkhouse put this anthology into a logical and emotional order that helps the reader get a better sense of ...             A 21st Century Rationalist in Medieval America: Essays on Religion, Science, Morality, and the Bush ...5 reviews John Bice Chelydra Bay Press, 2007 Bice brings clarity and passion to national conversation Good writing needs clarity and passion. These essays by John Bice have both in abundance. Whether he is discussing religions in general---"In reality, mainstream unsupported beliefs (such as Christianity) are in no way objectively superior to the equally unsupported beliefs of fringe groups."---or the role of religious ideology in American government--- "Imagine how disturbing it would be if our ...             The Short Book on Options: A Conservative Strategy for the Buy and Hold Investor8 reviews Mark D. Wolfinger 1st Books Library, 2002 Clear concise primer for understanding options I found this book to be just what I was looking for. After a complete introduction to the topic, Mr. Wolfinger helps the novice options investor clearly understand one conservative strategy. The author is very dedicated and thorough in explaining the concepts. He makes no assumptions that the reader has previous knowledge of what he teaches, yet he is never condescending. I also appreciate the ...             The Revolution: A Manifesto655 reviews Ron Paul Grand Central Publishing, 2008 Great for those interested in the principles of Libertarianism This book is easy to read and understand and provides a great surface explanation for the principles of Libertarianism. From foreign policy to civil liberties to economics Congressman Paul lays out the commonsensical and Constitutional premises that our government should be following. I love his example, being a doctor that has experienced this himself, about how the medical industry took care of ...             The Autobiography Of Calvin Coolidge4 reviews Calvin Coolidge University Press of the Pacific, 2004 The life story of an unsung American hero President Calvin Coolidge was a good man and great President who deserves to remembered for more than his reticence. Read here the life story of the President who grew up learning that hard work and a thoughtful outlook are the keys to success. He cut taxes four times and vetoed agricultural subsidies twice. He was unusually tolerant of minorities for his time. The story of President Coolidge ...             The Federalist (Conservative Leadership Series)5 reviews Alexander Hamilton Gateway Editions, 1999 The framers of the Constitution in their own words An essential book for every American both young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican. A delightful discovery on the need of God and guns (or perhaps swords) in the United States and the intolerance of a government in charge of all but answerable to noone. An undeniably perfect fit for todays culture. Discover your roots from the men that gave their lives for the signing of the ...             Changing the Face of Hunger: The Story of How Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, and People of ...4 reviews Tony Hall Thomas Nelson, 2007 A life changing read Don't read this slender hardcover, CHANGING THE FACE OF HUNGER, unless you are ready to change your life. In 1984, Tony Hall (a congressman for almost 24 years) went to Ethiopia to help ferry supplies to a camp run by the World Vision Christian relief organization. What he experienced changed his life. Imagine doctors who must work in an area fenced in by barbed wire because of the press of ...             Conservatives Are from Mars (Liberals Are from San Francisco): A Hollywood Rightwinger Comes Out of the Closet5 reviews Burt Prelutsky Scorched Earth Press, 2004 This is one fun read! I'm glad Mr. Prelutsky has finally put many of his colorful essays between two covers. This is a delightful, if somewhat cynical, collection of characteristically opinionated pieces that would give Andy Rooney a run for his money. Highly recommended, despite a caricature of the author that makes him look, inexplicably, like the late Jose Ferrer.             The Anti-Federalists: Selected Writings and Speeches (Conservative Leadership Series)4 reviews Bruce Frohnen Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2001 An American Historical 'Must Read' "This government [Federal Government] will destroy the state governments, and swallow the liberties of the people." This was the declaration of Patrick Henry, found in these pages, along with many other intriguing and wonderful speeches. This text is a definite 'must read' in American History writings. This volume is a collection of speeches, letters, essays, articles, and addresses presented ...             Miracles--stories for Jewish children and their families5 reviews Alan Radding, 2008 Intelligent stories for kids These 15 thoughtful stories are great for modern Jewish kids. Some are holiday-specific; others are non-sappy takes on the reality of growing up Jewish in America. I can imagine reading them aloud to young children; older kids will enjoy reading them on their own. If I were a Bubbie I would give this as a Hanukah present, or maybe as an Afikoman ransom!             Class War in America: How Economic and Political Conservatives Are Exploiting Low- And Middle-Income American ...4 reviews Charles M. Kelly Daniel and Daniel Publishers, 2000 After outlining problems, Kelly offers some solutions Economic conservatives speak in this title, which uses quotes from the Wall Street Journal and other publications to show the intention of the conservative establishment to benefit corporations and investors at the expense of the lower classes. After outlining problems, Kelly offers some solutions for combating conservative agendas.             Woman Submit! Christians & Domestic Violence5 reviews Jocelyn, E Andersen One Way Cafe Press, 2007 A Word From the Author Fear, desperation, pain, humiliation, and confusion are constant companions to all women who experience abuse of any sort at the hands of their husbands. But the evangelical Christian woman finds herself faced with the unique burden of also needing to know the specific will of God concerning her situation. I call this a unique burden, because assimilating all the conflicting information she ...             New Views of the Constitution5 reviews John Taylor Gateway Editions, 2001 A States' Rights Bible Twentieth Centurions often credit modern conservatism with being the brainchild of Russell Kirk, Barry Goldwater or some other recent conservative, but John Taylor of Caroline clearly demonstrates in this classic work that conservatism has had long established roots in American society. First published in 1823, we find that government usurpation of the rights of states and individuals is not ...             Our Country (Unabridged)5 reviews Michael Barone audible.com The big picture and the small picture Two warnings: First, the book is long. Second, the author is conservative and doesn't make an effort to hide it. If these facts don't disturb you then I can't recommend this book highly enough. It is a wonderful story of twentieth-century American politics, crammed with polls, stats, and insightful commentary. Why has ethnicity been a more important factor in politics than class?
