NANCY PELOSI–and other creatures of the political swamp whose lies and illogic on the war were ignored or unquestioned by the Left. CONGRESSIONAL SLEAZEBAGS–The Ethics Committee’s use of alleged indiscretions–sexual and otherwise–of Republican representatives to destroy their careers while disregarding the same violations by Democrats. EDUCATION–the unnatural obsession with children’s rights and self-esteem at the expense of education and how it’s destroying the teaching profession and fostering an obnoxious self-entitlement trend. … PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA–Apart from his easy swagger and histrionic appeal to emotion, exactly how in the world did he do it? “Here is the book that Jerry Doyle’s fans have long awaited… If you like your politics straight up, with a common-sense chaser and a shot of dry wit, you’ll be galvanized and enlightened by Jerry Doyle–the man, his story, and his insights into America today.” – from the flaps 1.

Schweizer, Peter Architects of Ruin : How Big Government Liberals Wrecked the Global Economy–and How They Will Do It Again If No One Stops Them. NY:Harper/HarperCollins Pbrs,c2009 1st ed HC 217p index notes Summary: “In Architects of Ruin, bestselling author Peter Schweizer describes in riveting detail how a coalition of left-wing activists, liberal politicians, and “do-good capitalists” on Wall Street leveraged government power to achieve their goal of broadening homeownership among minorities and the poor. The results were not only devastating to the economy, but hurt the very people they were supposedly trying to help. “The story begins in the 1960s with Saul Alinsky, the legendary Chicago rabble-rouser who trained his acolytes in highly aggressive techniques of community activism. Alinsky’s disciples–along with race-baiting activists like Jesse Jackson…argue[d] that banks were guilty of racial discrimination. In the 1970s, with the help of liberal senators like Ted Kennedy and William Proxmire, legislation was passed that put bankers under the thumb of local activists. “In the Clinton years, a new generation of liberal technocrats came to power in Washington and Wall Street. Schweizer describes how a powerful phalanx of elite liberals, including Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, Andrew Cuomo, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Janet Reno, Deval Patrick, Henry Cisneros, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer, and many others, aggressively pushed banks to make trillions of dollars in loans to individuals who never should have received them. “Meanwhile, Clinton forged a new form of state capitalism in which the big Wall Street financial companies were repeatedly bailed out–with their profits intact–from a series of costly errors, leading them to take ever larger risks. Both financial polices had profoundly distorting effects. The result was the bursting of twin bubbles in mortgages and mortgage-backed derivatives, in turn leading to a global economic collapse. “This tale of liberal ‘Robin Hood capitalism run wild’ has never been told. But more than just a story of the past, it is also an urgent warning about the future. For today, the very same people who planted the seeds of the collapse are back in Washington, …determined to use the crisis they caused as cover for a massive overhaul of the American economic system. “These people…are busy applying the same methods to other sectors of the economy–health care, the auto industry, real estate (again), and above all the promotion of ‘green’ technologies–inflating bubbles that are sure to bring about another crisis. Ordinary Americans who foot the bill for the last state-capitalist bubble have reason to be afraid–very afraid–of the inevitable result.” – from the flaps ISBN: 978-0-06-195334-7 $24.99
Smith, Wesley J. Foreword by Dean Koontz A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy : The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement. NY:Encounter Books/Encounter for Culture and Education, Inc. 1st American ed pbd 2009 c2010 HC 312p index(31p) supplement(incl bib chart) Summary: [Philosophy--ethics and Moral Philosophy Political Science: Political Ideologies: General "...Smith details in his latest book, [that] the concept of animal rights has been seeping into the very bone marrow of Western culture. One reason for this development is that the term ‘animal rights’ is so often used very loosely, to mean simply being nicer to animals. But although animal rights groups do sometimes focus their activism on promoting animal welfare, the larger movement they represent is actually advancing a radical belief system. “For some activists, the animal rights ideology amounts to a quasi religion, one whose central doctrine declares a moral equivalence between the value of animal lives and the value of human lives. Animal rights ideologues embrace their beliefs with a fervor–that is remarkably intense and sustained… Some believe their cause to be so righteous that it entitles them to cross the line from legitimate advocacy to vandalism and harassment, or even terrorism against medical researchers, the fur and food industries, and others they accuse of abusing animals. “All people who love animals and recognize their intrinsic worth can agree with Wesley J. Smith that human beings owe animals respect, kindness, and humane care. But Smith argues eloquently that our obligation to humanity matters more, and that granting ‘rights’ to animals would inevitably diminish human dignity.” – from the flap 1. Animal rights. 2.

Wildmon, I’ve realized that he cares not if he pleases any earthly power because he is on a mission not governed by those earthly powers. That’s why I singled him out in my recent book Do the Right Thing as one of the national leaders who is driven by principles and not by politics.” –Mike Huckabee –(both quotes from the jacket)
