ISBN: 1400050308ANN COULTER'S PASSIONATE DEFENSE OF ANTICOMMUNISTS AGAINST LIBERAL SMEARS PUSHES ASIDE HILLARY'S PUFF PIECE Ann Coulter's brand new book, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism was not set for release until the 24th of June but prepublication sales already began topping amazon.com's ranking at number 3 -- surpassing Hillary's politically spun and loudly trumpeted memoirs! This is great news because Ann Coulter tells the truth and pulls no punches. In her previous book Slander and in her syndicated columns, she demolishes liberal-left myths, lies, and smears. Ann Coulter's new book breaks the "liberal" establishment's book publishing barrier like no previous anti-socialist book since her own Slander and sets straight several issues, including the truth about Joe McCarthy and his fight to expose communist networks in the United States. Using information declassified from KGB files and other sources, Coulter blasts away the ugly "liberal" smears against this courageous U.S.Senator. Ann Coulter is blunt about exposing the chronic intellectual dishonesty of the "Liberal" Establishment's coverup for and enabling of their anti-American communist brothers. Ann Coulter dares call it treason.
"The myth of 'McCarthyism' is the greatest Orwellian fraud of our times," Coulter reports. "Liberals are fanatical liars, then as now. Everything you think you know about McCarthy is a hegemonic lie."
"Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals...
"McCarthy was not tilting at windmills. Soviet spies in the government were not a figment of right-wing imaginations. He was tilting at an authentic Communist conspiracy that had been laughed off by the Democratic Party. "
It looks as if a significant portion of the American people will be exposed to the truth, as the "liberal"-socialist media establishment can no longer use the "silent treatment" and just ignore such books as Coulter's and the new book by former Secret Service agent Gary Aldrich. Both Coulter and Aldrich can be expected to come under severe attack by the leftist-dominated media desperate to shore up the waning crediblity of socialism and communism.
The Invisible Heart
An Economic Romanceby Russell D. Roberts
Softcover: MIT Press; ISBN: 0262681358; Reprint edition (March 7, 2002)
From the Amazon.com Review
A love story that embraces the business and economic issues of the day?
The Invisible Heart takes a provocative look at business, economics, and regulation through the eyes of Sam Gordon and Laura Silver, teachers at the exclusive Edwards School in Washington, D.C. Sam lives and breathes capitalism. He thinks that most government regulation is unnecessary or even harmful. He believes that success in business is a virtue. He believes that our humanity flourishes under economic freedom. Laura prefers Wordsworth to the Wall Street Journal. Where Sam sees victors, she sees victims. She wants the government to protect consumers and workers from the excesses of Sam's beloved marketplace.
While Sam and Laura argue about how to make the world a better place, a parallel story unfolds across town. Erica Baldwin, the crusading head of a government watchdog agency, tries to bring Charles Krauss, a ruthless CEO, to justice. How are these two dramas connected? Why is Sam under threat of dismissal? Will Erica Baldwin find the evidence she needs? Can Laura love a man with an Adam Smith poster on his wall? The answers in The Invisible Heart give the reader a richer appreciation for how business and the marketplace transform our lives.

Book Description
by Ann Coulter
The new smear campaign against conservatives and libertarians by the "Liberal" Establishment and Far Left propaganda outlets is documented by conservative diva Ann Coulter in scorching detail.
On the Non-Fiction Bestseller List! In addition to exposing and refuting the malicious lies of the "Liberal"-Left, syndicated columnist Ann Coulter also reveals the appalling double-standard by which our "watchdog" media let liberals get away with statements for which conservatives would have been vilified.
Coulter not only quotes the lies, she names the liars - including ..* THE PROMINENT DEMOCRAT who claimed -- absurdly -- that "The Christian Coalition was a strong force in Germany."Coulter uncovers depths of liberal dishonesty, vindictiveness and hate-mongering that will shock even the most jaded political observers. Full of direct, fully-sourced quotations, Slander is as devastating as a prosecutor's brief -- but crackles with Coulter's trademark wit and humor.
* THE TIME MAGAZINE REPORTER who sneered about President George W. Bush, "The only thing that could explain this love of tax cuts is a lowered IQ."
* THE CABLE-NEWS TALK-SHOW HOST who, during the Clinton impeachment proceedings, said that "the person Ken Starr has reminded me of facially all this time was Heinrich Himmler"
* THE CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER who said, "In South Africa, the status quo was called racism. In Germany, it was called fascism. Now in Britain and the U.S., it is called conservatism."
* THE NETWORK NEWS REPORTER who, in the wake of September 11, warned that Christian pro-life activists posed a threat to America comparable to that from Islamic terrorists!
* THE FAMOUS ACTRESS who said, "One thing that gives me pleasure is how ugly [Linda Tripp] is. That's a karmic point. She deserves to be ugly."
* THE NETWORK NEWS ANCHOR who praised Cuba's school system, which indoctrinates students with hard-core Communist propaganda, as being among "the revolution's great success stories."
* THE DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN who spoke against a Republican tax cut by saying, "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' anymore. They say, 'Let's cut taxes"
* THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER who wrote in a straight news story that "Evangelical Christians are more easily led than other kinds of voters."
* THE HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR who declared after 9/11, "When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke. This present government in America I just find disgusting."
by Bernard Goldberg
Of course, we have known for decades that the major news networks are almost monolithically biased toward the Democrat Party and the "liberal" (welfare-state fascist) mentality. This has been documented in such books as The Left-Leaning Antenna by Herschensohn and The News Twisters by Edith Efron. This latest book is from a broadcast journalist with impeccable credentials from inside the belly of the Establishment's media beast itself -- and constitutes a damning indictment which should shame and embarrass any honest news professional.
What the Amazon.com Reviews Have To Say Think the media are biased? Conservatives and libertarians have been crying foul for years -- but now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left, it's far worse than you think. Breaking ranks and naming names, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg reveals a corporate news culture in which the close-mindedness is breathtaking, journalistic integrity has been pawned to liberal opinion, and "entertainment" trumps hard news every time. In his three decades at CBS, Goldberg repeatedly voiced his concerns to network executives about the often one-sided nature of the news coverage. But no one listened to his complaints-or if they did listen, they did nothing about the problem. Finally, Goldberg had no choice but to blow the whistle on his own industry, to break the code of silence that pervades the news business. Bias is the result. As the author reveals, "liberal bias" doesn't mean simply being hard on Republicans and easy on Democrats. Real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world -- and their bias directly affects how we all see the world.
In Bias you'll learn:-How on issues ranging from homelessness to AIDS, reporters have simply regurgitated the propaganda of pressure groups they favor, to the detriment of honest reportingIf you ever suspected the network news was shortchanging the truth, Goldberg will not only prove you right, he'll give you a glimpse of just how it's done, and how fairness, balance, and integrity have disappeared from network television.
-The Peter Jennings test for classifying politicians-and how all the networks do it
-The network color bar-why so many "victims" on network news stories are blond-haired, blue-eyed, and middle class
-How one high-level CBS News executive told Goldberg that of course the networks tilt left-but in the next breath said he'd deny that statement if Goldberg ever went public
-One of the biggest stories of our time-and why you probably didn't hear about it on the evening news
-How political correctness in network newsrooms puts "sensitivity" ahead of facts
-The real Dan Rather -- a man who regards criticism of liberal bias as treason!
by David Horowitz
Not only libertarians and conservatives, but all Americans, should read Hating Whitey -- And Other Progressive Causes to understand the true nature of the various cults of the extreme Left in this country, their influence on college campuses and in the media, and to remind us of their enablers and which famous names in Hollywood and politics -- from Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand to Barbara Lee and Hillary Rodham -- have aided and sympathized with those who hate America and who blame all the ills in the world on American Capitalism and White Middle-Class Greed while extolling the alleged virtues of Castro's Cuba or Mao's Red China or the Sandanista regime in Nicaragua.
by Victor Koman
Victor Koman has crafted an inspiring scenario which points the way in which private enterprise -- instead of bureaucratic government agencies -- could lead the way toward mankind's great adventure in exploring, developing and colonizing orbital and inter-planetary space.
"Kings of the High Frontier is an intriguing, exhilarating, thought-provoking and
-- yes -- sprawling novel that brings back the sense of wonder that drove so many of us into science fiction in the first place."

"I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. . .
May 8, 2001
Reviewer: David Zampino from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
". . .I am an Independent. I made this decision upon my ordination so I could speak freely on various issues without the accusation that I was parroting a party line. In the course of my ministry, I have had cause to criticize particular policies and particular individuals in both major parties -- and intend that this will contine.
"I make this disclaimer, because of the vitriol seen in some of the other reviews of this book. It suggests to me that many Americans really don't understand "how" our system of government is supposed to operate.
"If a tithe of what Mr. Sammon suggests is correct (and he is a trained journalist, employed by one of the larger US newspapers) the Democratic party in general, and Mr. Gore and Senator Lieberman should be ashamed of themselves. If much more than 10 percent is true, both these men should permenantly driven from public office. (And this comes from someone who USED to respect Senator Lieberman, even when I disagreed with him)
"It has been demonstrated over and over in the public record that a deliberate attempt was made to disenfranchise military ballots using technicalities and loopholes. This is not an opinion -- it is a fact which has been repeatedly demonstrated.
"Likewise, it is a fact that the major news outlets announced Gore for Florida prior to the closing of the polls in a densely Republican area. I remember several elections ago, when the media was criticized for announcing a winner when polls were still open in other parts of the country. Now, winners are being announced without the polls even being closed in the state in question!
"Finally, it is clear to me that the recount procedures in Florida could not possibly have been handled any worse. The state does need to clean up its act, and I don't believe that either party disputes this! But during the recount process, the Gore team utilized a pattern of character defamation, and a policy of "loudly accuse your opponant of the very thing you yourself are doing" -- and almost succeeded.
"I cast my vote for Mr. Bush as someone I saw as the lesser of two poor choices. I'll freely admit this. However, after seeing Mr. Gore's behavior during the recount process, I'm glad I did so. Apparently, there are Gore supporters who feel the same way I do." -- from an amazon.com reviewer
by Richard W. Grant
I highly recommend this book, either by itself or as a companion to Bastiat's The Law, to anyone, but especially to students already attending or planning to enter college or university.
This book discusses some of the misconceptions about capitalism, such as the "robber barons" and the Great Depression. It identifies the three principles of a free society, applying them to contemporary issues including education, the environment, Michael Milken, Bill Gates, altruism, the dangerous intellectual, "compassion" in government, and much more.

"This book is a terse gem. Fulsom refutes popular myths with
the greatest of ease. His separation of market and political
entrepreneurs is a very useful notion to remember. However,
the most important achievment of the book is its absolute
refutation of the popular misconceptions about some of the
greatest men in American history. For anyone who has been
indoctrinated by years of fallacious history classes, this is a
stupendous antidote." -- rogue1@mailexcite.com from St.Louis, Missouri , August
11, 1998
"A contrast between political and market entrepreneurs:
A central purpose of this book is to distinguish between 19th
century political entreprenuers, who gained monopolies by
co-opting the legislature and judicial apparatus of the state, and
market entrepreneurs, who built railroads with private money or
who developed a competitive presence in, for example, the
early 19th century steamship business. The book discusses
how J.D. Rockefeller reduced the cost of kerosene for millions
of American consumers, which allowed them to light their
homes without using whale oil. The book discusses the 30 year
oil price war with the Russians in Baku (1885-1915), which
drove Rockefeller to relentlessly reduce prices in order to
compete in international markets; all the while thousands of
American jobs hung in the balance. There are seven different
chapters on different American economic events which
unfortunately aren't given thorough enough coverage in the
history departments of our universities. But, that does not
diminish the importance of these events in the development of
America and the stage they set for the continuing increase in
living standards for the common man. By changing the debate
from "big business is bad and workers are good" to a dialogue
that puts the collusion of big business, big labor, and big
government in sharper perspective, Folsom does the reader an
important service. A terrific book."

by Henry Hazlitt
In 1946, Henry Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson in an
attempt to expose some of these fallacies to a public that
already had fallen under their spell. In the first chapter, he
proposed the "one lesson" that is his theme:
"The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the
immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it
consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely
for one group but for all groups."
One would think that this rather common sense statement
wouldn't merit a whole book for its exposition. As he illustrates
in the remaining chapters, however, such axiomatic wisdom is
discarded in case after case of actual economic policy.
In a significant departure from the norm, he makes his case
without the meaningless statistics and unintelligible
pseudo-jargon that have become the staple of the modern cult
of expertise (in economics as well as in every other area of
knowledge). His clear and logical dismantling of each fallacy
provides the reader with a method of inquiry that can be used to
penetrate the smoke and mirrors of fallacies both particular and
general. It is for this reason especially that this book should be
considered a primer to be read by any who would participate
intelligently in discussions of economic policy. (From an Amazon.com review)

From the Publisher: by Frederic Bastiat
This 76-page book is the classic definition of the proper role of
government and one of the most persuasive arguments against "legal plunder"
(using government to perform activities which would be considered criminal
if they were performed by an ordinary citizen)!
Frederic Bastiat's arguments against positive government
interventionism and socialism are as valid today as when first published in
1850. This is Bastiat's most famous political essay and its truths are more relevant now than ever before.
"Herbert took Herbert Spencer's famous law of equal freedom,
and extended it to its full extent. As a result, Herbert concluded,
as Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, et al, have since, that physical
force is evil, and that the only legitimate, or at least, acceptable
use of force is in defense. Moreover, Herbert concluded that it
was illegitimate for *anyone* to utilize force, even government
agents. Therefore, all forms of government intervention beyond
the basic protection of individual rights is both illegitimate and
immoral, including taxation. In fact, he even offers a 29 point
case against all taxation in one particular piece. In place of
coercive government, Herbert proposed defensive services
financed voluntarily, and indeed, this is the only moral method.
Throughout the work, one is consistently delighted by Herbert's
firm and eloquent advocacy of individualism, rationality,
responsibility, and progress. Admirers of Ayn Rand and
Objectivism should especially enjoy this work. Above all,
Herbert's writings are delightful and often deeply moving pieces
of work, and I can only hope that friends of liberty and reason
become more acquanted with them in the future." -- Will Murphy in a review for amazon.com
Anarchy, State, and Utopia is not only
carefully reasoned by a razor-sharp mind, it is also fun to read by those concerned with fundamental ideas and
their implications in real life -- an enormous accomplishment for the book that won the 1974 National Book Award. More
than that, Nozick's book reinvigorated political philosophy, a field which had become rather stale and all but
dead in the universities, and -- if that were not enough -- almost single-handedly "established the legitimacy
of libertarianism as a political theory in the world of academi," as a Laissez-Faire Books review so correctly puts
it. Of course, Dr. John Hospers of California State University had published his book, Libertarianism, back
in 1971 -- certainly one of the best and most readable introductions to the freedom philosophy ever written --
but, after all, Dr. Hospers was known mainly as an experrt in the field of esthetics rather than political theory at
the time. Others in recent times had come before in defense of individual freedom, the justice of capitalism, and
constitutionalism. Milton Friedman and the Chicago School and Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard of the
"Austrian School" had made enormous contributions in the field of economics. But, although Dr. Friedman
achieved surprising popularity as an economist, Mises, who had had a respectable academic impact in Europe
between the world wars, was ignored in the American universities so dominated were they by Keynesians
and neo-Keynesians in the field of economics. Hayek received much the same treatment. Ayn Rand helped
make a revival in the ideas of freedom and limited constitutional government possible by laying the philosophical
foundations and getting them around the academic censors by imparting them with the spin appeal of
intellectually stimulating novels and hard-core essays which powerfully struck at the "Liberal" Establishment
down to its roots -- but was (and, for the most part, continues to be) excluded or even misrepresented in
university curricula. Murray Rothbard's libertarian followers, although certainly devout and zealous in the
rightness of their cause, had only begun slowly to gain positions in some colleges around the United States.
Having converted to a libertarian position after having already become well-known in the academic world of
Establishment philosophy -- and at Harvard of all places! -- Robert Nozick added his great influence to the
intellectual momentum set in motion by Hayek, von Mises, Friedman, Rand, and Rothbard to the side of
reasoned liberty based on the principle of individual rights. Unlike Mises and Rand, whose ideas had been
effectively excluded by academic circles dominated by the reactionary Left, Nozick, who moved within those
circles as an acknowledged "one of us" scholar, was too well entrenched and could not be denied or excluded
by the academic world. And so it was that thirty-five-year-old Robert Nozick and his 1974 academic bombshell
-- Anarchy, State, and Utopia -- really put libertarianism on the academic map in a way that could no
longer be ignored. Whatever other intellectual adventures Robert Nozick may or may not have in store for
us from now on, those of us in the cause of liberty owe a huge debt of gratitude to him for this critical breakthrough
in the elite groves of academe.

by Dean Russell
Russell's book is a series of short chapters (8-12 pages), and
each is broken down into 3 or 4 key ideas (2-3 pages each).
Thus, a busy reader can read 3 pages, learn something
worthwhile, and then put the book down. A person doing a little
reading during a break at work can easily read a chapter, and
understand it, without being docked for failure to be back on
time. An aggressive reader can probably devour the entire
book in a single reading.
Russell makes use of a lot of little stories, much like Aesop's
fables. They are easy to read, the point is clear, and the lesson
is learned painlessly.

by George Reisman
"Superb!
It is hard to think how one cannot come away from reading this book in some way deeply moved by its thesis, much less thoroughly persuaded by it. Having spent 1,000 full-size double-column pages elaborating on every aspect of every economic issue imaginable, covering all the basics in a format suitable for laymen as well as technical students, and having covered every objection ever raised to the capitalistic (i.e., laissez faire, free market, private property) system, every point that could be raised in its defense, and every point that could be made against any alternative system, the burden of proof now rests clearly on the side of Dr. Reisman's opponents. The only problem with this book, which would drive away many potential readers, is the size and the cost! Otherwise, it would be worth buying up as many copies as one could in order to give to as many people as possible. In the literature of the classical liberal, free market tradition, or of economics as such, this one has got to rank among the top 3 of all time."
-- A reader from Bowling Green, OH , March 8, 1999
by Thomas Sowell
To make informed decisions, the voting public needs an understanding of basic economics, which will provide the tools for evaluating political policies and proposals in terms of logical implications and empirical evidence. Innumerable tragedies could be avoided if people stop and think instead of being swept along by emotions, rhetoric, or political pressure. The author cites examples, such as the profound problem of homelessness in Manhattan in spite of having more boarded-up housing than they would need for shelter, and the Russian people going hungry in spite of having incredibly rich farmland. Valuable information and insight. -- Mary Whaley, American Library Association
by Johan Norberg
"Norberg takes on each of the familiar anti-capitalist fallacies — that globalisation makes the rich richer and the poor poorer (the first may be true, the second is not); that productivity gains will push people out of work; or that, for Western workforces, globalised production will mean a “race to the bottom”. …
The particular charm of this passionate essay is, however, that capitalism would not interest Norberg if it were not such a mighty engine of human liberty. It is a young man’s book, addressed to the idealistic young:. . . "

by Vin Suprynowicz
"AWESOME! ENTERTAINING, HEART-BREAKING, LIFE CHANGING."
"Once I began reading this book, I could not stop until I finished. Then I read it again. Among the most important books I've ever read, "Send In The Waco Killers" contains so much truth that most people will have to read it over and over to get the full impact.
"Far from being a book about the Waco disaster, this is a book about us, as people, and our lives, and how it came to be that the terror and horror of such crimes against humanity as the Waco mass-murders have become expectable, virtually inevitable -- unless we begin to change our thinking.
"The author's style and humor, with his sense of irony, is wonderful, making even such explosive content so readable and understandable that some of the real-life villains he portrays may begin to 'get it' when they read it. It's certain they're going to hate it.
"Never have I seen such lucidity in analysis of the events of the day. Vin Suprynowicz pulls no punches as he reaches into your visceral center and tears your heart with the real-life stories of people you may even know.
"I challenge anyone who begins this book, who reads just the introduction and first chapter, to stop. You will be caught up in the drama and will have to read on.
"One copy won't be enough. If you want to be able to read it in peace (and hang onto it afterward), you'll have to get copies for family and friends."
by John Lott
If anyone needs any further documentation of the irrational
bigotry which the "Liberal"-Left news and entertainment media have against the right
of peaceful Americans to own and carry firearms, it is here in Lott's latest book in which he not only answers critics of his earlier book, More Guns, Less Crime, but also defends his methodologies and arguments which even some of his pro-gun allies had called into question. Blasting through the emotionally loaded -- but incorrect -- arguments of gun control advocates, Lott shoots devastating holes the anti-gun fallacies and myths, demonstrating with hard statistical data and riveting anecdotes how the existence of more guns in the hands and purses of "ordinary" people tends to reduce crime.
by John Lott
Multiple regression analyses are rarely the subject of heated
public debate or 225-page books for laypeople. But John R.
Lott, Jr.'s study in the January 1997 Journal of Legal Studies
showing that concealed-carry weapons permits reduced the
crime rate set off a firestorm. The updated study, together with
illustrative anecdotes and a short description of the political and
academic response to the study, as well as responses to the
responses, makes up Lott's informative More Guns, Less
Crime. Lott's exhaustive research and analysis is the largest and most
comprehensive study of the effects of gun control to date, a
study well-detailed in the book, provoked a number of attacks,
ranging from the amateurish to the subtly misleading,
desperate to discredit him. Lott takes the time to refute each
argument; it's almost touching the way he footnotes each time
he telephones an attacker who eventually hangs up on him
without substantiating any of their claims.

An essential primer on economics.
Most Americans are extraordinarily ignorant in matters of
economics. Unaware of the actual effects that economic
policies have on not only their pocketbooks but also their
liberties, most people fall easy prey to calls for class warfare
and promises of short-term gains and special advantages.
Their approval of laws and programs that promise to satisfy
their short-sighted and selfish tendencies is supported by a
powerful collection of economic fallacies that promote a false
understanding of the workings of human economic actions.

Property and Prosperity Through the Ages
by Tom Bethell 
Hardcover - 378 pages 1 Ed edition (June 1998)
St Martins Pr (Trade); ISBN: 0312210833
The phenomenal success of Western civilization and the
remarkable economic expansion fueled by modern capitalism,
says Tom Bethell, depend chiefly on the institution of private
property and the development of secure property rights, yet this
simple, striking idea is misunderstood by elite opinion leaders
in the United States and around the world. Bethell, a reporter for
the American Spectator, offers a history of property as an idea
and a reality around the world. His sweeping narrative will
appeal to fans of David Landes's The Wealth and Poverty of
Nations and Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. Yet, in
many crucial respects, The Noblest Triumph (the title comes
from British philosopher Jeremy Bentham's line that property
laws represent "the noblest triumph of humanity over itself") is
better than both, displaying a keener understanding of human
nature and of how incentives shape behavior. In a chapter sure
to inspire controversy, Bethell argues that the Irish potato
famines of the 1840s were due primarily to Ireland's lack of
stable property rights in the 19th century. Full of astute
observations and written with real clarity, The Noblest Triumph
makes a unique and welcome contribution to the debate over

FDA Regulation of Health Care Products
Paperback (February 1996)
Independent Institue; ISBN: 0945999410
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is one of the most
powerful of federal regulatory agencies, if not the most
powerful. It regulates over 25% of all consumer goods sold in
the United States. It makes decisions on a daily basis that
affect the lives of millions of people. While the FDA was
created to protect the public, how well is it fulfilling this mission
and whose interests is it actually protecting? This book
examines how the FDA accumulated its enormous power and
what effects it has had on the public. It also explores who
actually benefits and loses from FDA actions, and whether
alternatives exist to safeguard the health of Americans. This
book raises serious questions about the wisdom of giving
policing power with little oversight or appeal process to
scientists, as the FDA currently does. It also argues forcefully
that the FDA unnecessarily delays many beneficial medicines
and medical devices, many of which are routinely available in
Europe, from being available to Americans.

Jerry Mander Press; ISBN: 0739202723
In Professor Jerry Mander's long awaited "Wizard of IS," he
does a masterful job of highlighting the hilarious
inconsistencies in the Impeachment of William Jefferson
Clinton. Professor Mander, Author, Lecturer, Political Ethics
Consultant and Homeless Guy, closes his introduction to the
book with, "Let the Dice Fly High, and let no Sacred Cow
remain ungored," and then proceeds to fulfill that goal in
spades. Both the Prosecution and the Defense, Republicans
and Democrats alike, will wish someone else could "feel their
pain" when they read this book. Although hilarious and bearing
Professor Mander's patented 'Laugh Out Loud Guarantee', the
book does make serious points about the participants and the
process. Required reading for those who followed the
impeachment, and an educational experience for those who
didn't. The Surgeon General Warns that a large percentage of
readers experience certain side-effects which include Laughter
to the point of tears and, in a growing percentage of
Americans, actual laughter-induced peeing of pants. (If these
effects persist, see your doctor.)

Timbro, 2001;
The fundamental choice confronting the people of the world today is between two opposite types of "globalism" competing with each other: Market Internationalism on one hand and Socialist Internationalism on the other -- that is, free markets and private property versus the regulatory state and bureaucratic socialist monopolies.
In the crucially important war of ideas, the overall struggle in the world today is between two powerful ideological causes: the movement toward more freedom and free markets, based on private property rights and consistency in the rule of law versus the reactionary forces of the anti-capitalist Left pushing for more government regulations and socialism to take over the world. This book articulately defends those trends which are helping to spread market capitalism and cogently responds to many of the neo-Malthusian and Marxist charges against private ownership and market freedom.

How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security
To read more short reviews of this book or to buy a copy for yourself from Amazon.com, please click on this line!
How Bill Clinton Compromised
U.S. Security for Chinese Cash
While many political journalists largely considered the second
term of Bill Clinton's presidency in terms of his romantic
interludes, Edward Timperlake and William C. Triplett II follow
up on one of the more controversial scandals of the 1996
reelection campaign. The Democratic National Committee was
eventually forced to return $2.8 million in illegal contributions,
much of it from foreign nationals, and much of it brought to the
party by fundraising executive John Huang.
Huang originally represented U.S. interests for the Riady family,
a powerful family of Indonesian businessmen with close ties to
the Communist Chinese government. James Riady had been a
"Friend of Bill" since 1977, and the two authors all but insinuate
that the Riadys "scouted" Clinton--whether as an unwitting
dupe, a sleeper agent, or merely an exploitable opportunist is
never quite clear--and helped underwrite his bid for the White
House. Why? So they could get John Huang a Commerce
Department appointment... one that came with a top-secret
security clearance.
Timperlake and Triplett gather together an astonishing--and
largely convincing--mass of evidence that the Clinton-Gore
administration "has made a series of Faustian bargains and
policy blunders that have allowed a hostile power to further its
aims in Washington." In addition to the potential security breach
represented by Huang, they document numerous policy
decisions that risk strengthening the technological and military
power of Communist China, power that might well be used
against the United States in the future.
The Wall Street Journal, Michael Ledeen
Year of the Rat is a sharp polemic that does what Sen. Fred
Thompson's hearings failed to do: show Chinese penetration of
the American political elite.

The Inside Story of President Clinton's
Impeachment
by David P. Schippers
Hardcover - 352 pages (August 21, 2000)
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 0895262436
David Schippers, the former Chief Investigative Counsel of the House Judiciary Committee, and a loyal Democrat, went against his party, the press, and public opinion to build a powerful case against the most corrupt President in American history and bring him to justice. But in this startling book, Schippers shows how the entire impeachment process was what Chicago politicians call a "First Ward election." In other words, a rigged ball game, a tank job, a sellout. And he tells you who took the dives.
In Sellout you'll learn: -Which GOP Senator told Schippers and the brave House Managers, "You're not going to dump this garbage on us." -Which Democrats never bothered to examine the evidence-because they simply didn't want to know. -Which GOP Senator shouted, "I don't care if you prove that [Clinton] raped a woman and then stood up and shot her dead- you are not going to get sixty-seven votes." -Why Democrats and Republicans conspired to conceal the most damning evidence of impeachable, even criminal, offenses. -How a note handwritten by the President himself offers evidence of perjury. -How Clinton tried to keep his women quiet. -How Republicans cooperated with Janet Reno's Justice Department to keep the LaBella report on possibly impeachable Clinton-Gore fund-raising offenses secret. -How Schippers unraveled a "criminals for Clinton" conspiracy involving immigrants hurriedly naturalized for Democratic votes- a program run from the office of Al Gore.Sellout is a stunning indictment of President Clinton's corruption -- and of the Senate Republican leaders who let him get away with it.
"With his typical in-your-face brand of libertarian politics, Boortz provides fresh insights into nagging social and political issues. There's never a dull page." -- Amazon.com
From Randalv@gsvms2.cc.gasou.edu from Statesboro, Georgia , March 30, 1999 This book should be read by every American.
"Mr. Boortz has hit the nail on the head. He presented reasons for why America is in such a mess that are so logical that I am shocked that I had never thought of them myself. It is a book that is written in a straight forward manner and is very easy to read. I believe that this book should be required reading for every college student in America!! The message that this book carries is that IMPORTANT."From a reader from Atlanta, Georgia , March 3, 1999 Right on target and delightfully "insensitive"!
"This book is a classic. In his typical "in-your-face" style, Neal Boortz throws down the gloves and tells it like it is. After breathing the rotten stench of "political correctness" forced upon us by the liberal mainstream media, this book is a breath of fresh air. Neal exposes the ridiculous ideology of the malignant liberal menace that is wrecking our society. Keep up the good work, Neal!!!"From the author, Neal Boortz ( talkmaster@mindspring.com ) , November 17, 1998 Why I wrote this book:
"I have been hosting talk radio shows for almost 30 years. During that time I went from moderate to conservative to libertarian. Thirty years of arguing issues with liberals opened my eyes! I know their weaknesses, how they argue, and why they never seem to be able to win any argument where fact and logic rear their ugly heads."

The Vision of the Anointed:
Self-Congratulation As a Basis for Social Policyby Thomas Sowell
by Thomas Sowell
by Allen E. Levite
"In Guilt, Blame, and Politics, Allan Levite turns Marxist class theory on its
head by suggesting that it is the guilt of the affluent class, not the struggle of
the working class, that is most responsible for modern socialism. It is a
compelling theory, well-researched and entertainingly argued."
--J. Neil Schulman, author of Alongside Night, Stopping Power, and other
works.
The "Joseph
Valachi" of the Left-wing Mob gives us an inside look into today's
anti-American mentalities and their war against freedom.
David Horowitz Pulls No Punches! He shows people
how to avoid being manipulated by the spinmeisters of the propaganda war
being waged against Middle America! Any honest observer of the past several decades must
conclude that the various leftist political regimes, from Communist Russia,
North Korea and Cuba to Eastern Europe and China under Mao have all failed
dismally in their economic promises. Every single Marxist experiment
has led, in practice, to extreme poverty, social corruption, and tyranny
of the worst kind. This is the terrific new Amazon best
seller on how the American People are being misled by malicious spinmeisters,
prevaricating politicians, and network news & entertainment groups
about what's really happening in American politics today. Himself
a former reactionary leftist, author David Horowitz was intellectually
honest enough to fess up to his errors of the past and has re-examined
his assumptions and has evolved into a forward-thinking, libertarian-oriented
conservative favoring individual freedom, private property rights, and
free-market capitalism instead of the failed left-wing systems of statism
collectivism. Conservatives, libertarians, and
constitutional patriots agree: this is must reading for those already
aware and active in the battles as well as all those who do not yet know
they are targets in a vicious propaganda war for the soul of America.

The Politics of Bad
Faith by David Horowitz
Drawing heavily on his personal experiences living under
different versions of socialism, Vazsonyi describes how our
hard won freedoms are being gradually eroded.
Vazsonyi traces the essence of what makes America
unique back to the founders and shows how those who
want America as we know it to fail are undermining the
founder's original intent.
The author documents how America's founding principles
of rule of law, individual rights, the guarantee of property,
and a common American identity are being gradually
replaced by government mandated group rights,
redistribution, and multi-culturalism.
The thirty year war is being fought between those who
promote liberty, rights for the individual and a continued
need for moral guidance on the one side, and those who
believe that the supreme power is human reason which,
operating through a central authority, can and will create
the perfect world on the other. While the picture is not rosy,
America has every chance of winning, if the intentions of
the two sides are exposed, and the consequences weighed.
This witty, simple-to-follow, and engagingly personal book
should aid in the process.
With unmistakable clarity, Vazsonyi shows how every time
America moves away from its founding principles it moves
in the direction of a system where a fantasy of "social
justice" is pursued through ever-greater government
control. America's Thirty Years War is an inspiration to
those who have lost touch with our founding principles and
ammunition for those who believe that our freedoms must
be defended every day.

Milton Friedman: by Leonard Peikoff
by George Orwell
Eric Blair ("George Orwell"), a disillusioned English socialist, depicts what a future under "Ingsoc" (English Socialism) could be like. Chilling in its insights, this novel (written in 1948) is one of the most important books of the Twentieth Century.
by Murray Rothbard
by G. Edward Griffin
"Creature says what many Washington and Wall Street insiders know, but would never
say: that through the Federal Reserve System, powerful men use inflation to rob us
blind.
"G. Edward Griffin does not stop there. He visits remote continents and distant times to
show how rulers have used their control of money to control their peoples. And, he
relates how, at considerable risk and cost, Andrew Jackson returned to our people a
great deal of economic freedom by refusing to renew the charter of the Second Bank of
the United States.
"This book's information shines a light on current events that is stark, strong, and new. It
will affect not merely how you see financial or business news, but all sorts of news
relating to domestic and foreign developments. You will understand much more about
the "New World Order," the Kyoto "Global Warming" treaty, the latest adjustment of
Federal Reserve interest rates, and why your children's history textbooks leave out so
much.
"You may find yourself discussing this book with your friends and neighbors. You may
change your political registration. You may even try to elect candidates whose ideas
reflect knowledge of the history Mr. Griffin describes.

Delivers a sweeping attack on the conventional assumptions behind the arrogant elite intelligentsia's attempts to politically engineer American soceity. Finally, Dr. Sowell issues a warning about the danger to our traditional civilizing Western values and the very future of America.

Dr. Sowell shows how the "liberal"-left pursuit of the chimera of their own poorly conceived notions of "social justice"
leads them to abandon and to undercut the traditional conception of justice as equal
treatment under the law, and is actually a concerted attack on the private property rights of the American people. Sowell shows that the false ideals of "social justice" are a cover for the left-wing agenda of using
the government's power of taxing and spending for "redistributing" the wealth of the people to perpetuate the Liberal Establishment's political power structure. He reveals the liberral Democrats' hypocrisy
and dishonesty behind their pretense of moral rectitude over "social justice" and their use of a phony self-righteousness to claim
that those who disagree with them are not merely mistaken but fundamentally evil and therefore not worth listening to. Professor Sowell demonstrates that what is really evil
is the use of Big Government by "liberal" Democrats to overturn institutions and traditions historically responsible for American
liberty and prosperity. Democrats and "liberal" Republicans are challenged to read this book, but most of them will not be open-minded
enough to do so.

A man who truly understands the extreme left-wing mindset now reveals how to spot the tactics, strategy, and the real agenda of the coercive utopians and America haters.
What evils lurk in
the heart of the organized Left in America today? David Horowitz
knows. He used to be an active part of the Marxist Mob.
Yet, leftists inside the U.S. news
media, academic, entertainment & political institutions have continued to push
for hard-core socialist programs so their corporate socialist associates
can take over American industry and cartelize our economy through still
more Federal bureaucracies. Not being "ideologically street
smart" these days, most Americans have not grasped the game that the
organized left is playing. And many fall victim to the left-wing
propaganda war that is targeting them. But, today we have a voice
from within the Left itself who has defected to our side and is telling
all -- and giving Americans the political "street smarts" they
need to see through the enormous spin machine.

How Taxes Drive Americans
Crazy and What to Do About It
by Amity Shlaes
Americans are being taxed to death--literally, says author Amity
Shlaes in The Greedy Hand. At work or out shopping, upon
marriage or even after death, we are paying more in taxes than
ever before, according to Shlaes, a Wall Street Journal
editorial writer. The average family with two wage-earners is
now seeing almost 40 percent of its money go to local, state,
and federal taxes. "The greedy hand of government"--first
described by American revolutionary Thomas Paine--is
greedier than ever, creating a situation ripe for tax reform, if not
revolt, Shlaes writes. "We think of our forefathers who felt
compelled to rebel against the Crown for 'imposing Taxes on
us without our consent.' We know we live in a democracy, and
so must have chosen this arrangement. Yet nowadays we find
ourselves feeling that taxes are imposed on us 'without our
consent'," she writes.
Chapter by chapter, and in great detail, Shlaes analyzes the
tremendous burdens imposed by a wide range of taxes. She
assails the marriage penalty, for example, and exposes
problems with Social Security and the estate tax. And she
documents how Americans feel increasingly unhappy with what
government does with their money and shows how people go to
great lengths to avoid taxes--driving across state lines to
escape a sales tax, for instance. Shlaes calls for political
leaders to overhaul the nation's tax code and suggests starting
with guiding principles like the following: "Taxes have to be
simple;" "Taxes have to be lower;" and "It's time to privatize
Social Security." The Greedy Hand warns that the tax system
damages the economy and hurts working people, and is a
good read for anyone who wants to rail intelligently about taxes.

How
Prosecutors and Bureaucrats Are Trampling the
Constitution in the Name of Justice 
Hardcover - 256 pages (May 2000)
Prima Publishing; ISBN: 076152553X
"Roberts and Stratton say the Constitution and its basis in the
historic rights of Englishmen to be secure in person and
property are not merely imperiled but substantially gutted. In the
twentieth century, many personal and property rights have
succumbed to governmental regulations and to ambitious,
unscrupulous government attorneys. The authors cite cases to
show how it became possible to be guilty of a crime though
lacking criminal intent; to be liable for damages that were, when
committed, not damages; to forfeit assets without cause or
assurance of recovery; to be coerced to plead guilty; to avoid
punishment by snitching on others; and to force private
attorneys to divulge confidential client information. For the sake
of fighting the war on drugs, cleaning up pollution, and other
initially well-meant causes, Roberts and Stratton warn, the U.S.
is becoming the image of its totalitarian former enemies in its
prosecution of justice--or, rather, injustice. Top-drawer public
affairs argumentation." --Ray Olson

"Must Read!
I teach a one-quarter course in economic principles, and I
always use this wonderful little book for a portion of it. Although
the book is not very long, and Rothbard's style is extremely
readable, he packs a lot of information and perspective into it.
My students have an overall high opinion of this book (and the
predictable low opinion of the main text book). No previous
background or knowledge of money, monetary history, or
economics is required to read and understand this great work.
Rothbard starts in a "Robinson Crusoe" world, that is, a world in
which Crusoe is the only person. He then adds more people,
and shows how money arises, and exactly what money is (and
what it is NOT!). I not only highly recommend it, I REQUIRE it for
my students." -- scottkjar@mindspring.com from Auburn Alabama, March
