W. Norton, 2008 What changed Frederick Douglass' mind Author James Oakes tells us this: in 1860 Frederick Douglass wrote of the upcoming presidential election "I cannot support Lincoln." But in 1888, Douglass said he had met no man "possessing a more godlike nature than did Abraham Lincoln." What had happened?

A Republican cook book? Only in America. I've been to lots of bean bakes, goat ropings, tribal fairs, wooly sheep ridings and Republican teas -- and until now I thought Republicans lived by caterers alone. I'm shocked. Can America be a global hyperpower if Republicans learn to boil water without burning it, to cook macaroni and even make meat loaf? Meat loaf?

Peterson Picador, 2005 Wake up, young people, and force politicians to act When the media or politicians bleat on about the waning economy or "soft" economic conditions, it's usually in regard to the stock market, gas prices, the unemployment rate or consumer spending.

Douthat argues that "'social issues' from abortion and marriage law to the death penalty and immigration, aren't just red herrings distracting the working class from their economic struggles, as liberals have insisted for the better part of forty years. Rather, they're at the root of working-class insecurity. Safe streets, successful marriages, cultural solidarity, and vibrant religious and ...             If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans362 reviews Ann Coulter Three Rivers Press, 2008 Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time. I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. I preview these books along with other pundit offerings in bookstores, reading through them (that's 'reading' through them) until ...             The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy86 reviews David Brock Three Rivers Press, 2005 An Important and Fascinating Book David Brock provides example after example of how the right wingers created a ruthless propaganda machine designed to catapult them into power and keep them there.

P.J. ...             Grand Old Party: A History of the Republicans12 reviews Lewis Gould Random House, 2003 History of the Republican party Last year was the 150th anniversity of the founding of the Republican Party, and this book gives a concise but fairly thorough history from then until the present day.

For the most part, he remians true to that pledge, although at times it is quite possible to ...             Handbook For Volunteers Of The Irish Republican Army: Notes On Guerrilla Warfare Paladin Press, 1996 The original instruction manual for the active arm of the IRA, Handbook for Volunteers of the Irish Republican Army covers such topics as building up resistance centers, organizing and arming a guerrilla force, employing tactics of deception and attack, destroying enemy communications and gaining support of the populace.             How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative26 reviews Allen Raymond Simon & Schuster, 2008 you've got to read this This is a great book for the lover of politics.

What a rip-off! When you title a book "Why Jesus Christ would never, ever vote Republican" you expect hear about two things: 1. Bad stuff about Republicans 2. Jesus Christ There is exactly ONE reference to Jesus Christ in the entire book! I was hoping that the author would tie some of Jesus' biblical teachings (e.g "Judge not, lest ye be Judged") to reasons to not vote ...             Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches29 reviews John W. Dean Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 Informative and solidly written John W. Dean has worked in government at the highest levels, has stellar credentials and credibility, and is definitely qualified to discuss this Republican administration's actions. Being Republican himself, I consider his views even more objective and valuable than those rants I hear from established contrarians -- on both sides.

It cleverly portrays the knee-jerk-stereotypes, which are so ingrained in the Republican / Democrat ideology, as to make each feel the other is getting roasted while one's own camp gets off relatively easy!
