You may recognize Ben from his regular appearances on the Fox News channel, the late-nineties quiz show âWin Ben Steinâs Moneyâ or the cult-classic 1986 movie Ferris Buellerâs Day Off. 

In addition to his recognizable on-screen adventures, Benâs lengthy resume includes time as a poverty lawyer, civil rights activist and White House speech writer. And somewhere during all of that he found time to author 16 books!

 But Benâs latest film project, Expelled! is the reason for his visit today. Itâs a movie thatâs ruffling all kinds of feathers in the âbastionsâ of scientific and academic elite. You wonât want to miss compelling film.

 The second part of this broadcast includes a rather lengthy discussion between Richard Land and Ben Stein about the American Civil Rights Movement. It may be a little âoff topicâ from the Benâs latest film, but weâre confident itâs a conversation youâll enjoy.

Joe Eszterhas has written the screenplays for sixteen films that have made more than a billion dollars at the box office.  Among them areBasic Instinct, Jagged Edge, Flashdance and Showgirls.  A former senior editor at Rolling Stone, he is the author of five previous booksâthe second, Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse, was nominated for the National Book Award.  The father of seven children, he lives with his wife, Naomi, and their four sons in Bainbridge Township, Ohio.

 Joe Eszterhas grew up in refugee camps and then in America"s back alleys.  He worked as a police reporter, racing the cops to robberies and shootings. He interviewed and wrote about mass murders and serial killers. He wrote dark, sexually graphic, and violent films likeBasic Instinct, Jagged Edge, and Jade.

Eszterhas knew a lot about darkness.  Then, on a hellishly hot day in 2001, desperately battling to survive throat cancer and his addictions to alcohol and cigarettes, Joe Eszterhas found God. Or God found him.

And he came from darkness into light.

Crossbearer is the powerful, poignant, and sometimes wryly humorous account of a streetwise and cynical manâs newfound faith, and of how he discovers God in the most intimate and routine moments of life: a family game of baseball, a childâs photograph of a cloud, a dying motherâs dying roses.

It is also the inspiring story of a man who must overcome his addictions to stay aliveâand canât by himself.  He realizes that he needs the love of his wife, his children, and especially his new friend, God, to do it.

Eszterhas is a master memoiristâhis Hollywood Animal was called "powerful and affectingâ (The New York Times), âabsolutely first-rateâ (Los Angeles Times Book Review) and âheartbreaking, funny and outrageousâ (Houston Chronicle)âand with Crossbearer he reveals a fresh and completely unexpected new chapter of his life.

With surprising tenderness and a willingness to bare even weaknesses and mistakes, Joe Eszterhas has written a startling personal story about faith, values, family and love.

1. Arthur Brooks on Gross National Happiness

Arthur Brooks, author of Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters for Americaâand How We Can Get More of It, offers John J. Miller a revelation: âPeople who call themselves conservative or very conservative are about twice as likely to say they are very happy people, as are those who say they are liberal or very liberal.â

2. Roy Spencer on Climate Confusion

Climatologist Roy Spencer, author of Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor, tells John J. Miller that while global warming is real, its causes are not known. âThe truth is that we donât have the right observations, in letâs say the last thirty or forty years, to know whether our most recent warming is natural or manmade.â

3. Jagdish Bhagwati on In Defense of Globalization

John J. Miller asks Jagdish Bhagwati, author of In Defense of Globalization, why globalization even needs a defense. The answer: Large numbers of people believe âglobalization is actually setting us back in terms of our social agendas, like womenâs issues, democracy, [and] mainstream culture,â while others say it drains us economically, in terms of workers wages, total GDP, and the general welfare.

 4. Stephen Moore on The End of Prosperity

"[T]he bigger problem with the Obama plan is that it raises taxes on the most productive people in the economy.âYou can't raise taxes on small businesses and then expect to have small businesses create more jobs," says Stephen Moore, co-author of The End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the EconomyâIf We Let It Happen.

5.  Richard Brookhiser on George Washington on Leadership

Richard Brookhiser, NR senior editor and author, most recently, of George Washington on Leadership, describes for John J. Miller the many qualities that made the father of our country such an exceptional leader. Among these was physical stature. Says Brookhiser, âWhen he does show up [before his troops], he makes an impressive figure. And that sort of momentary first impression is a very important thing.â

6.  M. Stanton Evans on Blacklisted by History

M. Stanton Evans, author of Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against Americaâs Enemies, says inaccuracies infect many of the books on this topic. He tells John J. Miller: âThe basic inaccuracy is the suggestion in most of the books that McCarthy was making stuff up; that he was lying. . . . What we now know is that he wasnât lying. . . . He was correct both as to the larger picture of communist penetration in the government and as to many specific cases [of this].â

1. Walter E. Williams on Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism

"Socialism is a form of tyrannyâwe have to recognizeâthe only way the government can get one American citizen one dollar is to first through intimidation, threats and coercion confiscate that dollar from some other American,â says Walter E. Williams, author of Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays.

2.  Brian Anderson on A Manifesto for Media Freedom. 

Speaking of the fairness doctrine, Brian Anderson, co-author of A Manifesto for Media Freedom, says  it's the idea that government can regulate speech for fairness and quality which is truly pernicious and which will result in a completely regulated press.

3.  Iain Murray on The Really Inconvenient Truths

Iain Murray, author of The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don"t Want You to Know About â Because They Helped Cause Them, explains for John J. Miller why misinformation is so rife in the environmental movement: "they take a germ of truth and then blow it up out of all proportion; they take a mole hill and they make a mountain.â

 4. Brian Fagan on The Great Warming

Brian Fagan, author of The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations, tells John J. Miller that the warming period of 800-1200 A.D. had its good and bad sides. In Europe, Fagan says, âThere was more food. The growing seasons lengthened. You got people growing cereal crops in Norway . . . They were growing wine in central England.â However, âI was shocked to find that over enormous areas of the world, there were prolonged, even epochal, droughts, particularly in the American west and over much of the Pacific.â

5.  Thomas Sowell on Economic Facts and Fallacies

John J. Miller asks Thomas Sowell, author most recently of Economic Facts and Fallacies, if Americans are economically illiterate. Sowell replies, âOh yes, good heavens, yes. There need to be at least ten more books like this because I'm too old to think about writing them all by myself.â

 6. Dan Perrin on America's Health Care Crisis Solved

Dan Perrin, co-author with J. Patrick Rooney of America"s Health Care Crisis Solved, tells John J. Miller that todayâs health-care crisis is one of affordability, and that his book âprovides a series of solutions for specific problems that are contributing to this overall health-care inflation.â

We found over 100 interviews with generally conservative authors. 1hour 4 minutes  14.7MB

 1. George C. Herring on From Colony to Superpower: U. S. Foreign Relations Since 1776.  George C. Herring, author of From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations since 1776, tells John J. Miller, "If you look at big picture, I don't believe I exaggerate by calling [U.S. performance in foreign relations] a spectacular record of success."

 2. Bruce Herschensohn on Above Empyrean.  Bruce Herschensohn tells John J. Miller that he wrote Above Empyrean: A Novel of the Final Days of the War Against Islamist Terrorism "as an appeal â a plea that the politician and the voter takes this war as seriously as it is. Winning supersedes everything else.â

 3. Chip Mellor on The Dirty Dozen.  William "Chipâ Mellor, co-author with Robert Levy of The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom, tells John J. Miller that the twelve cases chosen âeach play a critical and tragic roll in effectively amending the Constitution, to take away what the Founding Fathers intended.â

 4. Thomas Sowell on Applied Economics. Thomas Sowell, author of Applied Economics, 2nd Edition: Thinking Beyond Stage One doesn't think much of the $700 billion economic bailout: âIt looked at first as a necessary evil, but as time goes on it looks more and more evil and less and less necessaryâonce that money has been created it becomes just another pot of the money that politcians can hand out hither and yon as they see fit.â

 5. Burton W. Folsom, Jr. on New Deal or Raw Deal: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America.  Burton W. Folsom, Jr., author of New Deal or Raw Deal: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America, tells John J. Miller, âHardly anybody who writes on the New Deal mentions that Roosevelt raised taxes to the top marginal rate in 1935 to 79%.â

6. John Fund on Stealing Elections. Commenting on the lack of zeal in prosecuting cases of voter fraud, John Fund, author of Stealing Elections, says, âThere's an inevitable cry that any time you're preventing voter fraud, you're actually dealing in voter suppression, dealing in trying to reduce the minority vote, and that kind of attack often deters [DAs] from pursuing these cases.â

Excerpt 1. Teachers Unions Bankrupting American Education. Audio version of film documentary. To See the video visit: http://www.teachersunionexposed.com/video_release.cfm

Visit Union Facts website at: http://www.unionfacts.com/

Big labor unions have destroyed countless American industries, including the Detroit automakers who are now begging Congress for a bailout. But these unions don't just control factories and assembly lines. Our public education system is a slow-motion car crash, driven by the same union special interests that brought the auto companies to the brink of bankruptcy.

This insightful new video shows how teachers unions protect bad and incompetent teachers, block school reform efforts, and use their members" dues money to support a radical left-wing agenda. Compared to other developed countries, the United States has the worst educational quality per dollar spent on schools, ranking 18th in reading and 28th in math. Millions of American children are being shortchanged by dysfunctional schools, but efforts for education reform are invariably stopped by powerful union interests.

These unions fight tooth and nail against any meaningful change to their comfortable status quo - while students and taxpayers pay the price.

After decades of denial, there is a growing realization around the country that teachers unionsâ defense of the status quo cannot continue. A new generation of reformers, including Michelle Rhee, the chief of public schools in Washington DC, are fighting those unions and pushing for renewed accountability and an end to the broken tenure system.

TeachersUnionFacts.com is a project of the non-profit Center for Union Facts. With your support, we can fix our public schools and expel these special interest groups. Your tax-deductible donation will help us show Americans the truth about todayâs teachers unions.

Ever feel like you just don't understand the other gender? Ever wonder why relationships between men and women so often start out like a fairy tale and end up like a horror story? Join Chip and his guest Alison Armstrong and learn more about what gets in the way of having the relationships we so deeply desire. Alison Armstrong, author of "Keys to the Kingdom", and creator of the "Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women" workshops describes her own amazing journey from being a "frog-farmer"-a woman who turns princes into frogs- to becoming a world renowned expert on understanding the conflicts and ending the separation between men and women. Listen in as Chip and Alison talk about the conflicting desires and expectations that men and women bring into relationships and learn how to develop meaningful alternatives that actually enhance our relationships.

 Why does ACU post shows on man/woman relations? Our mission is to dispel widely held misconceptions and erroneously held beliefs. This extends to interpersonal relationships that liberal ideology has poisoned through radical feminism, promotion of the silly idea of the sameness of the sexes, and general narcissistic values (among other things).

This video, directed and produced by "Indoctrinate U" director Evan Coyne Maloney and Andrew Marcus, serves as an introduction ... to FIRE, its principles and issues, and its commitment to liberty on campus. It then turns to FIRE's case at San Francisco State University, where students endured a months-long investigation for stomping on Hamas and Hezbollah flags during an anti-terrorism protest.

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6413781AbgPJtzQ

 This short film highlights FIRE's fight against Valdosta State University's (VSU's) unconstitutional free speech zone policy and chronicles FIRE's ... victory on behalf of VSU student T. Hayden Barnes, who was expelled for engaging in a peaceful protest. Featuring on-the-scene interviews with Barnes; his attorney, noted First Amendment lawyer Robert Corn-Revere; and FIRE President Greg Lukianoff, this video illustrates the impact of FIRE's work and explains why VSU remains a priority in FIRE's fight for student rights on campus.  

This episode of the PBS "Voices of Vision" television series documents FIRE's efforts to defend fundamental rights at the ... University of North Carolina - Greensboro, where students faced discipline for protesting an unconstitutional "free speech zone," and at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, which had banned RAs from leading voluntary Bible studies in their own dorm rooms and on their own time. The film also features an in-depth look at how FIRE selects and conducts its defense of individual rights on campus, including a nuts-and-bolts look at FIRE's operations.

 Is Christianity true? Can an intelligent, college-educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality?

 Bestselling author Dinesh D"Souza (What's So Great About America) approaches Christianity with a skeptical eye, but treats the skeptics with equal skepticism. The result is a book that will challenge the assumptions of both believers and doubters and affirm that there really is, indeed, something great about Christianity.

 D"Souza reveals:

 Why Christianity explains the universe, and our origins, better than atheism does

 Why Christianity and science are not irreconcilable, but science and atheism might be

 Why the alleged sins of Christianityâthe Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affairâare vastly overblown

 Why atheism is a demonstrably dangerous creedâand a cowardly one

 Why evolution does not threaten Christian belief

 Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory

 Why Christianity is the ultimate defense of man's free will

 Why ultimately you can"t have Western civilizationâand all we value from itâwithout the Christianity that gave it birth

 Provocative, enlightening, a twenty-first-century successor to C. S. Lewisâs Mere Christianity, Dinesh DâSouzaâs Whatâs So Great About Christianity is the perfect book for the seeker, the skeptic, and the believer who wants to defend his faith.

About this Book -

 "It ain't so much the things we don"t know that get us into trouble,nineteenth-century humorist Josh Billings remarked. "It's the things we know that just ain"t so.â

 In this bold and brilliantly argued book, acclaimed author and talk-radio host Michael Medved zeroes in on ten of the biggest fallacies that millions of Americans believe about our countryâin spite of incontrovertible facts to the contrary. In The 10 Big Lies About America, Medved pinpoints the most pernicious pieces of America-bashing disinformation that pollute current debates about the economy, race, religion in politics, the Iraq war, and other contentious issues.

 The myths that Medved deftly debunks include:

 Myth: The United States is uniquely guilty for the crime of slavery and based its wealth on stolen African labor.

 Fact: The colonies that became the United States accounted for, at most, 3 percent of the abominable international slave trade; the persistence of slavery in America slowed economic progress; and the U.S. deserves unique credit for ending slavery.

 Myth: The alarming rise of big business hurts the United States and oppresses its people.

 Fact: Corporations played an indispensable role in building America, and corporate growth has brought progress that benefits all with cheaper goods and better jobs.

 Myth: The Founders intended a secular, not Christian, nation.

 Fact: Even after ratifying the Constitution, fully half the state governments endorsed specific ChrisÂtian denominations. And just a day after approving the First Amendment, forbidding the establishment of religion, Congress called for a national "day of public thanksgiving and prayerâ to acknowledge âthe many signal favors of Almighty God.â

 Myth: A war on the middle class means less comfort and opportunity for the average American.

 Fact: Familiar campaign rhetoric about the victimized middle class ignores the overwhelming statistical evidence that the standard of living keeps rising for every segment of the population, as well as the real-life experience of tens of millions of middle-class Americans.

 Each of the ten liesâwidely believed among elites and taught as truth in universities and public schoolsâis a grotesque, propagandistic distortion of the historical record. For everyone who is tired of hearing America denigrated by people who don't know what they"re talking about, The 10 Big Lies About America supplies the ammunition necessary to fire back the next time somebody tries to recycle these baseless beliefs. Medvedâs witty, well-documented rebuttal is a refreshing reminder that as Americans we should feel blessed, not burdened, by our heritage.

 About this Author-

MICHAEL MEDVED is the host of one of the most popular talk-radio programs in the country, reaching more than four million loyal listeners. He is the bestselling author of ten other books, including Right Turns, Hollywood vs. America, and What Really Happened to the Class of â65?

 Speech codes. Censorship. Enforced political conformity. Hostility to diversity of opinion. Sensitivity training. We usually associate such things totalitarian regimes, not with the American universities that nurtured the free speech movement.

 "When we think of going to college, we think of intellectual freedom. We imagine four years of exploring ideas through energetic, ongoing, critical thinking and debate," Maloney said. "But the reality is very far from the ideal. What most of us don't know is that American college students check their First Amendment rights and individual freedom at the door."

 Hailed by the New York Sun as one of "America's most promising" documentary filmmakers, Maloney has assembled a scorching indictment of higher education in America today, one that should make students, parents, trustees, lawmakers, and concerned citizens sit up and take notice. The London Telegraph has called the long-awaited feature-length film "as slick and incisive as anything by Michael Moore."

 Book description- What lies beneath Barack Obama's well-polished rhetoric will shock you. Obama touts 'change' but his version is nothing less than a frontal assault on American values and traditions. Obama's goal? Bring America to her knees through a policy of 'managed decline.' On his watch, our great nation will become a second-rate country on a downhill slide. In The Audacity of Deceit, Brad O'Leary takes you deep inside Obama's plans to dismantle the Second Amendment and destroy our economy while putting us in thrall to the United Nations and laying waste to all that millions of Americans hold dear. You'll learn: How Obama's fatherless childhood mirrors that of Bill Clinton's and fuels his obsession with fame and power at any cost. How his tax plan would raise rates to a Hoover-like 60% and eviscerate America's economy. How the U.S. Treasury will become the United Nations' ATM. Why Obama wants to keep fuel prices high and Americans immobilized. The '0 to 5' initiative designed to transfer child-rearing from parents to the state. Here are the ugly facts about Barack Obama.

 From the publisher- In the shocking political expose The Audacity of Deceit, you'll learn about Barack Obama's plans to "change" our country and your life by...

• Raising taxes from the low rate of 28% under Ronald Reagan to economy-destroying 60% rate under Herbert Hoover.
• Handing out Federal medical insurance to more than 12 million aliens, and increasing emergency room costs by $15.4 billion annually.
• Appointing ultra-liberal, anti-business Supreme Court judges who would reverse the ruling that bans partial birth abortion, and the ruling that confirms the Second Amendment is an individual right.
• Would take 25% of farmland out of production to satisfy environmental lobbyists, causing increased food costs and worldwide food shortages.
• Implementing a "zero to five" program designed to transfer infant and child raising responsibilities for children under five from parents to the federal government.
• Establishing a government agency to approve what types of medical procedures and operations senior citizens are permitted to have.
• Increasing the liberal majority in Congress by allowing felons to vote.
• Waging a trade war that would eliminate 10 million American jobs and re-establish the tariff system implemented by Herbert Hoover.

As a state senator, Obama...

• Supported withholding emergency medical aid for babies who survive an abortion.

Barack Obama may be desperately tacking towards the middle in order to attract voters, but as The Audacity of Deceit proves, his real beliefs are not those of the majority of Americans.

 The last 13 minutes of this podcast features Dennis Prager talking to Sol Stern, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who has looked at the radical life of Bill Ayers.

Arthur Laffer -- the father of supply-side economics and a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board -- joins economist Stephen Moore of The Wall Street Journal editorial board and investment advisor Peter J. Tanous to send Americans an urgent message: We risk losing the exceptional standard of living that has made us the envy of the rest of the world if the pro-growth policies of the last twenty-five years are reversed by a new president.

Since the early 1980s, the United States has experienced a wave of prosperity almost unprecedented in history in terms of wealth creation, new jobs, and improved living standards for all. Under the leadership of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, Americans changed the incentive structure on taxes, inflation, and regulation, and as a result the economy roared back to life after the anti-growth, high-inflation 1970s.

Now the rest of the world is following the American economic growth model of lower tax rates, more economic freedom, and sound money. Paradoxically, one country is moving away from these growth policies and putting its prosperity at risk -- America.

On the eve of a critical presidential election, Laffer, Moore, and Tanous provide the factual information every American needs in order to understand exactly how we achieved the prosperity many people have come to take for granted, and explain how the policies of Democrats Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi can cause America to lose its status as the world's growth and job creation machine.

The End of Prosperity is essential reading for all Americans who value our nation's free enterprise system and high standard of living, and want to know how to protect their own investments in the coming storm.

Book Description- They Must Be Stopped is New York Times bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam--we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress.

Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind:

*Fundamentalist Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality.

*Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all "infidelsâ (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death.

*Madrassas in America are increasing in number, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army on US soil.

*Radical Islam exploits the US legal system and America"s protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values.

*America must organize a unified voice that says "enoughâ to political correctness, and demands that government officials and elected representatives do whatever is necessary to protect us.

Brigitte Gabriel has fearlessly faced down critics, death threats, and political correctness, and is one of the most sought after terrorism experts in the world. They Must Be Stopped is her clarion call to action. Gabriel thoroughly addresses the historical and religious basis of radical Islam, its frightening encroachment into societies around the world, and its abuses of democracy in the name of religion.

About the book- From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.

Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as "reporting of the highest quality imaginable,â we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Filkins's narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night"s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.

We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.

Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today's battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America"s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

With four simple truths as his framework, Charles Murray, the bestselling coauthor of The Bell Curve, sweeps away the hypocrisy, wishful thinking, and upside-down priorities that grip America's educational establishment.

Ability varies. Children differ in their ability to learn academic material. Doing our best for every child requires, above all else, that we embrace that simplest of truths. America"s educational system does its best to ignore it.

Half of the children are below average. Many children cannot learn more than rudimentary reading and math. Real Education reviews what we know about the limits of what schools can do and the results of four decades of policies that require schools to divert huge resources to unattainable goals.

Too many people are going to college. Almost everyone should get training beyond high school, but the number of students who want, need, or can profit from four years of residential education at the college level is a fraction of the number of young people who are struggling to get a degree. We have set up a standard known as the BA, stripped it of its traditional content, and made it an artificial job qualification. Then we stigmatize everyone who doesn't get one. For most of America"s young people, today's college system is a punishing anachronism.

America"s future depends on how we educate the academically gifted. An elite already runs the country, whether we like it or not. Since everything we watch, hear, and read is produced by that elite, and since every business and government department is run by that elite, it is time to start thinking about the kind of education needed by the young people who will run the country. The task is not to give them more advanced technical training, but to give them an education that will make them into wiser adults; not to pamper them, but to hold their feet to the fire.

The good news is that change is not only possible but already happening. Real Education describes the technological and economic trends that are creating options for parents who want the right education for their children, teachers who want to be free to teach again, and young people who want to find something they love doing and learn how to do it well. These are the people for whom Real Education was written. It is they, not the politicians or the educational establishment, who will bring American schools back to reality.

Twenty-four years ago, Charles Murrayâs Losing Ground changed the way the nation thought about welfare. Real Education is about to do the same thing for Americaâs schools.

 From the publisher-  (text verbatim from rear cover) "After Senator Obama"s inspiring and thought-provoking speech on race, most Americans feel it is time to set the record straight regarding the origin of racism in America. Over the years, we have had several discussions on the subject, most of which focused on the relationship between blacks and whites. But seldom have we ever acknowledged the number of whites who gave their lives to wipe out this deadly social disease nor have we reviewed the role that politics played in establishing a racist society. Historians report that one party supported slavery and Jim Crow while the other party opposed them. They also report that one party was known as the Party of White Supremacy and the other party was known as Nigger Lovers. Senator Obama confirms this fact in his book: Dreams from my Father. He tells his readers how white Chicago Democrats vowed to vote Republican before they would vote for a black man (Harold Washington) to be mayor of Chicago. Many have confessed that the Senators March 18, 2008 speech was compelling, comprehensive and forthright and perhaps one of the greatest speeches on race since the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kings I Have a Dream speech. Although his speech touched the hearts of all American citizens, its fatal flaw was its failure to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth regarding who was really behind the efforts to divide our country by race. This book is an in-depth analysis of Obama's speech and contains information he chose not to include and information that Congressman Steve Cohen ignored when he introduced the Resolution to apologize to African Americans for slavery and Jim Crow (on July 29, 2008)."

 Product description- In December of 1937, Nanking was the site of one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarities. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city and within weeks not only looted and burned the city, but systematically raped, tortured, and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. 

 From the ACU- We put this audio selection together in an attempt to better convey America's motivation and determined resolve to destroy the empire of Japan when called upon to do so. By 1940 Americans had no illusions as to the fate that would befall  U.S. cities that fell under the control of of the Japanese military. Secondly, it is an example of conduct and warfare of non-Christian  governments and military leaders that are not restrained by the belief that a God will hold them accountable for their treatment of others.

Show Michael Medved talks to the author David Freddoso about his book The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media"s Favorite Candidate. 8MB 35 Minutes.

Has any major presidential candidate received less critical examination than Barack Obama?
People blindly flock to him, the press fawns over him, but nobody questions his promises, plans, or past - until now.
In The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate, investigative reporter David Freddoso removes the gilt from the golden candidate, exposing Obama for who he really is: the #1 most liberal U.S. senator whose policies and inexperience could put our country in serious jeopardy.

Like any convincing argument, Freddoso supports The Case Against Barack Obama with sound evidence and facts. Delving into Obama"s legislative record, interviewing his colleagues, and analyzing Obamaâs books and speeches, Freddoso does the research that the media has neglected. His conclusion? Obama the Orator is very different from Obama the Legislator. From his history of supporting corrupt Chicago politics to his extreme liberal voting record, The Case Against Barack Obama proves that Obama is not the politician of "changeâ, but the politician of status quo.

Book description- A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in a riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with verve and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who during World War II was called "the fÃhrer of the Arab worldâ and whose ugly legacy lives on today.

In 1921, the beneficiary of an appointment the British would live to regret, Haj Amin al-Husseini became the mufti of Jerusalem, the most eminent and influential Islamic leader in the Middle East. For years, al-Husseini fomented violence in the region against the Jews he loathed and wished to destroy. Forced out in 1937, he eventually found his way to the country whose legions he desperately wished to join: Nazi Germany.

Here, with new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al-Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan,â while dreaming of being installed Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen-SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France before being given a hero"s welcome in Egypt.

Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseiniâs postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Husseinâs powerful uncle, General Khairallah Talfah, and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Arafat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseiniâs actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.
Revelatory and unsettling, Icon of Evil reveals an essential character in the worst crimes of the modern era. It is an important addition to our understanding of the past, present, and future of radical Islam.

From How Would God Vote?

"The Bible commands a style of politics that in the American context could only be described as deeply conservative. Is, then, the politics of God theocratic?
"A strong case could be made for theocracy, American-style, if the word were defined not in the conventional way but according to its root meaning. Democracy signifies the rule of the demos, the people. Strictly speaking, theocracy means the rule not of churches or priests but of theos, God. It won't do to deny that many conservatives, even while unambiguously affirming the traditional American separation of church and state, would add more theos to the democratic mix than is currently the case. I choose not to call myself a theocrat because I know how eager liberal secularists would be to twist the word against me. Dishonestly they would make it appear that I wish to impose a literal biblical theocracy, that I would dumbly imitate word for word the political structure of king, priesthood, and religious high court that existed in biblical antiquity.
"Yet, in a subtler sense, are we not all theocrats now?â

This startlingly original investigation into the controversies dividing America provides a clear and convincing affirmation of the relevance of the Bible to contemporary politics.

With liberals and conservatives alike claiming the authority of the Bible as support for their views on social and moral issues, the need to understand what the Bible actually says has never been more pressing. In How Would God Vote?, journalist and scholar David Klinghoffer illuminates the worldview set forth in the Scriptures and argues that, with some exceptions, the God of the Bible would overwhelmingly support traditionally conservative principles and policies.
Klinghoffer considers the ethical and moral heart of contemporary political debatesâquestions like immigration, gay marriage, abortion, care for the poor, war and peace, censorship, privacy, the place of religion in schools and the community, and much more. There is a pattern here. It"s for a very good reason that conservatives line up as they do, predictably, on a range of issue; as do liberals. The two competing political philosophies derive from radically different ways of looking at the world: one in consonance with the Bible, the other very much not.
Klinghoffer, however, is no stereotypical Republican. Controversially, he argues that the Bible would have us emphasize domestic policy, the classic pre-9/11 culture war issues, over a hyped-up âWorld War IVâ against âIslamofascism.â The Bible has a foreign policy, he shows, and it is not neoconservative. He demonstrates support in the Scriptures for a welcoming attitude toward immigrants, for gun control, and for affirmative action.
The Bible, Klinghoffer shows, is no mere list of dos and don'ts but a fully coherent and practically relevant portrait of moral reality, compelling and deep enough to guide not only our private but our public lives. Even if we as individuals fail its private tests, that"s no reason to reject its public lessons.
To anyone who takes God seriously, every election poses a radical question: Will we vote with Him, or against Him? The Bible is an unapologetically political book, Klinghoffer explains, and an extremely conservative one. Some political views offend God, and those views are mostly liberal. In short, the Bible commands you to be a conservative.
Stimulating and provocative, How Would God Vote? is an important contribution to pre-election debates and to setting the path the nation will follow in the future under a new president.

To see the free video visit Google Video - Islam: What  the West needs to know.  ACU highly recommends this documentary.

 Documentary description-An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.

Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Now, the question is finally being asked, "Is Islam itself violent?"

Through an examination of the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad, this documentary establishes, through a sober and methodical presentation, that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam. "Jihad," while best translated as "struggle," as represented in the Koran and the life of Muhammad, means nothing less than organized warfare against unbelievers. Relying primarily on Islam's own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.

The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.

Features interviews with noted experts on Islam including Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye'or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat.

 Here are the facts: The United States has released 425 terrorists from GuantÃnamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten yearsâand dressed them up as tax cuts! Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiotsâlulling us into a false sense of security. If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radioâforcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management. Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudanâfor a total of nearly $200 billion. The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothingâand the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck! Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn? As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL. Who's calling the shots instead? Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleecedâby our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS. With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpetâand offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

Arthur C. Brooks has authored numerous articles and books related to charity and civic life. He is professor of public administration at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal. 

Aurthur C. Brooks, author of Who Really Cares. The suprising truth about compassionate conservativism.  We all know we should give to charity, but who really does?

In Who Really Cares, he demonstrates conclusively that conservatives really are compassionate-far more compassionate than their liberal foes. Strong families, church attendance, earned income (as opposed to state-subsidized income), and the belief that individuals, not government, offer the best solution to social ills-all of these factors determine how likely one is to give. Charity mattersânot just to the givers and to the recipients, but to the nation as a whole.

It is crucial to our prosperity, happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people. In Who Cares, Brooks outlines strategies for expanding the ranks of givers, for the good of all Americans.

Segment 2- The Right to Love. That's how the Los Angeles Times headlined their editorial endorsing same sex marriage. The right to love? Is that what same sex marriage is about? If it is, why not endorse polygamy? The other argument the Los Angeles Times makes is that banning same sex marriage is like banning interracial marriage. It"s a silly argument. There are no differences between the races except skin color. But there are major differences between men and women. But this doesn't matter. If you oppose same sex marriage you are a racist, according to Los Angeles Times. 71 minutes 16MB

Book Description:  Militant atheism is on the rise. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have dominated bestseller lists with books denigrating religious belief as dangerous foolishness. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a far larger movement-one that now includes much of the scientific community.

"The attack on traditional religious thought,â writes David Berlinski in The Devil's Delusion, "marks the consolidation in our time of science as the single system of belief in which rational men and women might place their faith, and if not their faith, then certainly their devotion.â

A secular Jew, Berlinski nonetheless delivers a biting defense of religious thought. An acclaimed author who has spent his career writing about mathematics and the sciences, he turns the scientific community"s cherished skepticism back on itself, daring to ask and answer some rather embarrassing questions:

Has anyone provided a proof of God's inexistence?
Not even close.

Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here?
Not even close.

Have the sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life?
Not even close.

Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought?
Close enough.

Has rationalism in moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral?
Not close enough.

Has secularism in the terrible twentieth century been a force for good?
Not even close to being close.

Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy of thought and opinion within the sciences?
Close enough.

Does anything in the sciences or in their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational?
Not even ballpark.

Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt?
Dead on.

Berlinski does not dismiss the achievements of western science. The great physical theories, he observes, are among the treasures of the human race. But they do nothing to answer the questions that religion asks, and they fail to offer a coherent description of the cosmos or the methods by which it might be investigated.

This brilliant, incisive, and funny book explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it can be-indeed must be-the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world and ourselves.

Book Description:  In Makers and Takers you will discover why:

* Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals.

* Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.

* Liberals are 2Â times more likely to be resentful of others' success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people"s good luck.

* Liberals are 2 times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don't deserve.

* Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and "significantly more likelyâ to display positive nurturing emotions.

* Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents.

* Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else"s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.

* Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bill O'Reilly and Dick Cheney have given large sums of money to people in need, while Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, and Al Gore have not.

* Those who are "very liberalâ are 3 times more likely than conservatives to throw things when they get angry.

The American left prides itself on being superior to conservatives: more generous, less materialistic, more tolerant, more intellectual, and more selfless. For years scholars have constructedâand the media has pushedâelaborate theories designed to demonstrate that conservatives suffer from a host of personality defects and character flaws. According to these supposedly unbiased studies, conservatives are mean-spirited, greedy, selfish malcontents with authoritarian tendencies. Far from the belief of a few cranks, prominent liberals from John Kenneth Galbraith to Hillary Clinton have succumbed to these prejudices. But what do the facts show?

Peter Schweizer has dug deepâthrough tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, and private recordsâand has discovered that these claims are a myth. Indeed, he shows that many of these claims actually apply more to liberals than conservatives. Much as he did in his bestseller Do as I Say (Not as I Do), he brings to light never-before-revealed facts that will upset conventional wisdom.

Conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and Robert Bork have long argued that liberal policies promote social decay. Schweizer, using the latest data and research, exposes how, in general:

* Liberals are more self-centered than conservatives.
* Conservatives are more generous and charitable than liberals.
* Liberals are more envious and less hardworking than conservatives.
* Conservatives value truth more than liberals, and are less prone to cheating and lying.
* Liberals are more angry than conservatives.
* Conservatives are actually more knowledgeable than liberals.
* Liberals are more dissatisfied and unhappy than conservatives.

Schweizer argues that the failure lies in modern liberal ideas, which foster a self-centered, "if it feels good do itâ attitude that leads liberals to outsource their responsibilities to the government and focus instead on themselves and their own desires.

The Language of God A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief By Francis S. Collins From Simon Schuster publishers- Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists. He works at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture.

Dr. Collins believes that faith in God and faith in science can coexist within a person and be harmonious. In The Language of God he makes his case for God and for science. He has heard every argument against faith from scientists, and he can refute them. He has also heard the needless rejection of scientific truths by some people of faith, and he can counter that, too. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes readers for a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible. The Language of God is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of faith: Why are we here? How did we get here? What does life mean?

Synopsis- One of our most distinguished thinkers argues that the "rise of the restâ is the great story of our time. "This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.â So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering.

Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the restââthe growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many othersâas the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world.

The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems.

How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.

The New York Times Book Review - Josef Joffe âmake no mistake. This is a relentlessly intelligent book that eschews simple-minded projections from crisis to collapse. There is certainly plenty to bemoanâfrom the disappearing dollar to the subprime disaster, from rampant anti-Americanism to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that will take years to win. Yet Zakaria"s is not another exercise in declinism. His point is not the demise of Gulliver, but the "rise of the rest.â

Biography- Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International and writes a weekly column on international affairs. His previous book was the New York Times bestseller The Future of Freedom. He lives in New York City.

Synopsis- FIRST IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, FIRST IN LEADERSHIP. Richard Brookhiser's revolutionary biography, Founding Father, took George Washington off the dollar bill and made him live. Now, with his trademark wit and precision, Brookhiser expertly examines the details of Washington"s life that fullscale biographies sweep over, to instruct us in true leadership. George Washington on Leadership is a textbook look at Washington's three spectacularly successful careers as an executive: general, president, and tycoon. Brookhiser explains how Washington maximized his strengths and overcame his flaws, and inspires us to do likewise. It shows how one man"s struggles and successes 200 years ago can be a model for leaders today. Washington oversaw two startups-the army and the presidency. He chaired the most important meeting in American history-the Constitutional Convention. Washington rose from being a third son who was a major in the militia, to one of the most famous men in the world. At every stage in his career, he had to deal with changing circumstances, from tobacco prices to geopolitics, and with wildly different classes of men, from frontiersmen to aristocrats. Washingtonâs example is so crucial because of the many firsts he is responsible for.

About the Author- Richard Brookhiser is the author of What Would the Founders Do?, Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, American, and Americaâs First Dynasty: The Adamses, 1735-1918. He wrote and hosted the critically acclaimed PBS documentary Rediscovering George Washington, is a columnist for TIME magazine, and is a senior editor of National Review. He has written for The New Yorker and the New York Times. He lives in New York City.

The American soldier is the reason General David Petraeus's brilliant strategy of moving our soldiers off isolated bases and out among the Iraqi people is working. Working to find and kill terrorists, reclaim neighborhoods, and help lead Iraq to democracy.

Yon is no cheerleader. According to the New York Times, he has logged more time in combat situations in Iraq than any other

U.S. reporter. When failed American leadership was driving Iraq into chaos and civil war, nobody told the story earlier or better than Michael Yon. The top brass was so mad that twice the U.S. military denied him access to Iraq.

So Yon has supreme credibility when he says that we are finally winning, not primarily with our overwhelming technology, not with shock and awe destruction, but with the even more powerful force of American values--with the courage and leadership, strength and compassion of our soldiers.

Moment of Truth in Iraq is packed with Yon's trademark thrilling and often heart-rending tales from the battlefield:

* The American commander fed up with phony Al Qaeda 'documentaries' that showed terrorists shooting at bombed out American vehicles as if they had beaten us in open battle. The commander and his men staged the "bombing" of a broken down truck, then when the terrorists came to put on their act, Navy SEAL snipers killed every one.

* Follow the exploits of the great "Deuce Four" battalion that becamethe center of a "warrior cult" dreaded by terrorists and revered by Iraqis.

From Human Events books: Loony Leftism: it didn't start with Hillary Clinton"s comparison of marriage and family with slavery and the Indian reservation system. It didn't start when Thomas Frank wrote in What"s the Matter with Kansas about "the borderline criminality of capitalism." It didn't even start with the Sixties! It"s surprising but true: the loony but now -- sadly -- mainstream Left has its roots in some radical movements that are centuries old.

 Today, with the Leftâs influence once again growing in American life, despite its utter intellectual and moral bankruptcy, itâs more important than ever for conservatives to be able to mount a clear-eyed, informed resistance -- and thatâs why Daniel Flynnâs rollicking A Conservative History of the American Left is so eye-opening and timely. Here at last is the first book that dares to tear away the pious fictions surrounding the American Left, and to reveal the true origins of the loony Leftist ideas that leave conservatives frustrated, outraged, and amazed that anyone could think such insane things.

Think that the wild ideas propagated by the Left today are newly minted? Think again. Flynn (author of the acclaimed Intellectual Morons and Why the Left Hates America) shows that many of them date back to the earliest days of America. And that even includes the Leftâs hatred for Christianity, its moral relativism, and its calls for government to solve all of our problems. All that and more can be traced back into the 19th century.

Flynn demonstrates that the Leftâs arguments have been refuted, rejected, and discarded again and again, but generation after generation liberals trot them out again. Even liberal anti-Americanism is nothing new: Flynn notes that the famed abolitionist crusader William Lloyd Garrison, in 1848 published a piece in his newspaper, The Liberator, that read: "We only hope that, if blood has had to flow, that it has been that of the Americans."

And Garrison is not the only forefather of the loony Left who ever haunted the American scene. Flynn introduces you to a rogueâs gallery of Leftist loons, hacks and psychopaths who were, paradoxically enough, taken seriously in their day, and left their mark on the Leftist movement ever after. These include Mary Gove Nichols, a free love advocate and anti-marriage activist who compared matrimony to slavery and prostitution, becoming the Betty Friedan of the antebellum era -- until she horrified her followers by getting married and converting to Catholicism!

Then thereâs Victoria Claflin Woodhull, who ran for president on the Equal Rights Party ticket in 1872, 48 years before women could vote in presidential elections. An early hero of the feminist movement? Sure -- and also an advocate of far-out "scientific" religion featuring spirit rappings and the appearances of ghosts. And donât forget the grim and humorless Leftist ideologue Mike Gold, who denounced Gilbert and Sullivan as "the cultural pioneers of fascism" and proclaimed that "the Russian Bolsheviks will leave the world a better place than Jesus left it."

An enthralling account of the nutty origins of the loony Left, A Conservative History of the American Left enables conservatives to understand and more effectively combat the Left today.

Meet the old Leftists, same as the new Leftists:

       John Humphrey Noyes and the Perfectionists: a 19th-century utopian community that anticipated the Leftâs "new," "cutting-edge" ideas of today -- including economic collectivism, free love, hostility to the nuclear family, pacifism, anti-Americanism, and passion for eugenics

       Robert Owen, the rags-to-riches Welsh industrialist who identified private property, religion, and marriage as "the most monstrous evils" almost two centuries ago

       Michael Mooreâs forefather: the crusading early twentieth century Leftist journalist who announced that he wanted to "destroy the facts"

       The presidential administration that brought top-down reform by liberal technocrats, fast-paced centralization, and constitutional disposability to Washington long before Hillary Clinton was even born

       The American Communist dupe who, with his propaganda, paved the way for the blood and violence of the Russian Revolution, and the terror of its aftermath

       Why the American Socialist Party gets the lionâs share of attention from historians despite being far smaller and less influential than many other American third-party movements

       The open racism of many of the most prominent Leftists of the nineteenth and earlier twentieth century -- foreshadowing the racial paternalism of todayâs Left

       Why Karl Marxâs violent, one-size-fits-all, industry-centered ideology meshed better with the post-Civil War American Left than did the gradualist, experimental, agrarian-centered Communist movements of the prewar years

       The Democratic demagogue who secured a presidential nomination by preaching class resentment

       Whitewashing the Reds: the non-Communist American historian of China who willingly altered his account in order to please Chinaâs new Communist masters

       The muddleheaded charlatan who suckered thousands of Americans -- including the best and brightest of the nineteenth-century American Left -- into believing him a political genius and spiritual luminary

       Christianity should "redeem society as well as the individual from all sin": how the Social Gospel movement was born, and quickly left behind any trace of the Gospel at all

       The Single Tax advocate who called for a draconian land tax that would, in effect, have forced property holders to rent land from the state

"A tour de force. A Conservative History of the American Left is a compelling read, supported by an enormous amount of research. Even those on the Left will learn something about their movement by reading this book, although they are unlikely to enjoy reading Flynnâs many revelations and poignant insights." â- Peter Schweizer, bestselling author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do)

"Witty, insightful, and informed, Dan Flynnâs A Conservative History of the American Left is the best introduction I know to this destructive and unavoidable social phenomenon." â-David Horowitz, bestselling author of The Professors, editor-in-chief of FrontPage Magazine

Why environmentalists are the environment's worst enemy And why effective environmental stewardship depends on free enterprise and property rights

The liberal environmental movement takes for granted that strict government regulation and public ownership is necessary for the preservation of the environment. Yet who, in the end, is responsible for the great environmental catastrophes of the recent past? According to Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the real answer is: environmentalists themselves. "The dogmatic ideologies and restrictive policies pushed on us by the environmental Left have harmed nature more than helped it,â argues Murray, "but the environmentalists have never borne the blame.â Now, in The REALLY Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don"t Want You to Know About - Because They Helped Cause Them, Murray reveals just how often and gravely liberal environmentalists have harmed the environment, how they have covered up this fact, and how conservatives can reclaim the environmental issue by stressing free-enterprise, private-property solutions.

To make his case, Murray focuses on seven major modern environmental catastrophes that illustrate the failure of the liberal approach. All had tragic consequences for humans or the environment. All could have been avoided or mitigated by alternative approaches based on conservative thinking. Yet, in each case, the liberal approach was not to admit failureâbut to condemn the alternative approach, deny the problem exists, blame it on something else or even to claim it as a victory.

The REALLY Inconvenient Truths reveals:

       The origins of the modern liberal environmental movement in the campaign to ban DDTâand how that led to the resurgence of malaria in the poorest countries, with devastatingly fatal consequences

       How the government-dictated preference for corn-based ethanol and other biofuels is causing massive land overuse, soaring food prices, and increased hunger in the poorest places

       How a single SUV tank of ethanol-based gasoline burns enough food to feed a starving African for a year

       How public ownership of waterways causes pollutionâand was the real reason Cleveland's Cuyahoga River "caught fireâ in 1969 (a founding myth of environmentalism)

       How hormones from contraceptive and "morning afterâ pills are literally being flushed into rivers and causing bizarre sexual malformations in fishâand why, for once, there has been no outcry from liberals

       Yellowstone in flames: How liberal-inspired management programs in the Forest Service and the National Parks have led to major wildfiresâincluding a near-castrophic one in the nation"s crown jewel, Yellowstone Park

       How the Endangered Species Act actually increases the threat of wildlife extinctionâwhile private approaches have helped species recover all over the world

       Getting the Green: how the environmental movement is funded by industries that reap enormous profits from environmental laws and regulations

       How overfishing of the oceans results directly from liberal opposition to property rights in the oceans, as embodied in the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST)

       Shut Up, He Explained: how censorship, manufactured outrage, and even phony âscienceâ are being used to cut short the debate over global warming

       The Lost Sea: how the last attempt to âscientifically manageâ an economy, in Soviet Russia, caused the destruction of the Aral Seaâwhich Al Gore and others now wrongly blame on global warming

       What history demonstrates about the importance of property rights in protecting the environment

In this election year, Republican politicians tell us that conservatives need to adapt and develop an âenvironmentalâ policy to compete with liberal Democrats. In truth, no adaptation is needed. As The REALLY Inconvenient Truths demonstrates, liberal laws and policies that were introduced in the name of saving the environment are hurting itâwhereas conservative principles such as freedom and property rights help to preserve and protect the environment whenever they are allowed to work

The world is an unequal and unjust place, in which some are born into wealth and some into hunger and misery. To explore why, in this controversial Channel Four documentary the young Swedish writer Johan Norberg takes the viewers on a journey to Taiwan, Vietnam, Kenya and Brussels to see the impact of globalization, and the consequences of its absence. It makes the case that the problem in the world is not too much capitalism, globalization and multinationals, but too little.

Synopsis- Of all the players in the planning and evolution of the Bush Administrations war on terrorism, few were more integralâor more controversialâthan Douglas Feith, the chief strategist on Donald Rumsfelds Pentagon policy team. A highly influential international policy analyst for more than a quarter century before joining the Bush Administration in 2001, Feith worked closely with Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Cheney, and President Bush in defining the U.S. response to the attacks of 9/11 -- from the successful war on Afghanistan to the more challenging invasion of Iraq and its aftermath.

Now, in this candid and revealing memoir, Feithâa founding member of the "neoconservativeâ? movement and an architect of the administration's preventive strategy in the war on terrorismâoffers the most in-depth and authoritative account yet of the Pentagon"s evolving stance during one of the most controversial eras of American history. Drawing upon a unique trove of documents and records, this extraordinary chronicle will put the reader in the room for scores of previously unreported senior-level meetings, showing how hundreds of critical decisions were made in defense of American interests during and after the crisis of 9/11 -- decisions both successful and controversial. Where journalists like Bob Woodward could only speculate, Feith is the first inside player to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, at a time when history hung in the balance. 

As the political battles over Iraq and the Bush administration surge onward, one thing has been missing: A fair and accurate assessment of how the battles were joined, from inside the team that planned them. With this exceptional work of history, Douglas Feith contributes the only thing that can change the course of the debate: the truth.

In late 1999 when Vladimir Putin was named Prime Minister, Russia was a budding democracy. Multiple parties campaigned for seats in the Duma, the nation's parliament. The media criticized the government freely. Eight years later as Putin completes his second term as president of Russia and announces his bid for prime minister, the country is under a repressive regime. Human rights abuses are widespread. The Kremlin is openly hostile to the West. Yet the United States and Europe have been slow to confront the new reality, in effect, helping Russia win what experts are now calling the New Cold War.

Edward Lucas, former Moscow Bureau Chief for The Economist, offers a harrowing portrait from inside Russia as well as a sobering political assessment of what the New Cold War will mean for the world. In this big, hard hitting and urgently needed book, he shows how
* Russia is pursuing global energy markets
* Neighboring nations are being coerced back into the former Soviet orbit
* Journalists and dissidents are being silenced
* Foreign investments and private enterprises are routinely defrauded
* Putin is laying the groundwork for controlling industry and planning his new role as prime minister
