Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity from Regnery Publishing Price: $17.61 Customer Review:  The exposure of contemporary prejudice against Christianity this book highlights in detail is much needed in the public discourse. Some of the examples Limbaugh has uncovered left me with a sense of dread towards the ACLU and the federal government's role in education. Critics of Limbaugh's book... |

It can literally mean being the target of a crime (such as identity theft or worse) or luckily being overlooked and out of reach of criminals. This book teaches simple, yet effective ways to... |

From Jim Crow to Civil Rights: The Supreme Court and the Struggle for Racial Equality from Oxford University Press Price: $22.05 Customer Review: Michael J.

Into The Buzzsaw: LEADING JOURNALISTS EXPOSE THE MYTH OF A FREE PRESS from Prometheus Books Price: $12.24 Customer Review: As a professional journalist, who studied under Fred Friendly at the Columbia U. School of Journalism, I find this the most important (and in light of recent 9/11 FBI revelations, timely) book about American journalism in many years.

Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies from South End Press Price: $14.96 Customer Review:  On the whole, this book is disappointing and greatly inferior to Chomsky's similarly theme-ed Manufacturing Consent. Necessary Illusions amounts to little more than an updating of media duplicity in mainstream coverage of Central America and Israel. From the title, I expected a more systematic... |

The Constitution of Liberty from University of Chicago Press Price: $24.00 Customer Review: Hayek's "The Constitution of Liberty" is a comprehensive work of political philosophy. It sets forth, defends, and applies an important view of the nature of human liberty, government, and economics that is worth considering, at the least, and that has much to commend it. The book is carefully... |

When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country from Regnery Publishing Price: $19.01 Customer Review: Anything that makes America's (no, make that the world's) liberal elites whine puts a wide smile on my face. This book has caused me sore facial muscles from the dozens of times I cracked wide smiles and laughed aloud at the unvarnished presentation of truth on many issues--notably, women in combat... |
