Supreme Conflict
Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court
by Jan Crawford Greenburg
published by The Penguin Books
New York, NY
copyright 2007
Read this book.
This is a pretty good book. I was surprised that even though you could occasionally tell what the author's bias was she she was pretty evenhanded. There were some good insights even for a political junkie like me.
She does however ignore Roberts' record in concluding that he will be a solid conservative vote.
The best quote is from Rehnquist. He said, "You spend your first five years on the court wondering how you got here and the rest of you time wonder how your colleagues got here."

Second Chance
Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower
by Zbignew Brzezinski
published by Basic Books
New York, NY
Copyright 2007
Read this book if you want a look into the mind of a foreign policy adviser.
The most interesting quote in the book is on page 143 and deals with getting into a war with Iraq. It was recorded by a Tony Blair foreign policy adviser. Bush "actually toyed with the idea of staging a deliberate military provocation in order to precipitate a casus belli." In other words a false flag attack. Like perhaps 9-11.
He also claim that even during the Cold War when a nuclear war could have happened that "American leaders did not propagate fear as a means of sustaining national determination. Perhaps he forgot about the drill that had school children hiding under their desks.
The book is a good look into the mind of a key presidential adviser. It shows his duplicity.

In Defense of Our America
In Defense of Our America: The Fight for Civil Liberties in the Age of Terror
by Anthony Romero and Dina Temple-Raston
published by Harper Collins
New York, NY
copyright 2007
Don't read this Book.
The book is hard to follow as through out the book the author attempts to discuss each topic some in each chapter. Often the connection is not clear. The author is correct on some subjects such as torture, but wrong on others. In discussing the South Dakota abortion ban he talks about their leader Fire Thunder being opposed to it. If you read what she says, she is really saying I am ineffective in stopping rape and violence against women so I will kill the innocent. Also he often claims that science supports evolution but does not present any evidence (because there is none). It becomes evident in he Afterward for those of us who did not know the author before reading the book that his hatred of God most likely stems from the fact that he is a homosexual.

Come on People
Come on People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
By Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussant
published by Thomas Nelson
Nashville, TN
copyright 1994
Read this book.
This book begins with vintage Cosby discussing whether or not he is black enough to talk about this topic. Most of the book is pretty good. There is however no discussion of the topic of abortion.
This is an important topic in relation to the subject covered due to several factors. First in 2005 there were more black babies aborted than born. Second, many of the health risks that Cosby talks about are also linked to women who have had abortions.
Many of Cosby's solutions are good and at least desire a look and some serious thought.

This is a What to Read if you want insight into why our foreign policy is messed and why we are losing our sovereignty.
This book is an interesting discussion between a Republican and a Democrat national security adviser. The key to the fact that they are both anti-American scumbags is found on page 247. Sowcroft says, "Let the fact that we have to make some concessions on sovereignty sink in gradually. Don't put that our front." Brzezinski answers, "Absolutely." They are saying hide the fact that we must give up or sovereignty to accomplish what we are talking about. On page 250 Brzezinski says "it's dignity, not freedom, that people around the world...really seek. But I ask can you truly have dignity without being free?

Glenn Beck's Common Sense
Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government
by Glenn Beck
Published by Threshold Editions
New York, NY
copyright 2009
Read with Caution
If you read this carefully you will find that the overall theme of the Glenn Beck portion is stand down no matter what. He makes many good points but does not have a good grasp of all the issues he covers.
The demonizes militias in the introduction. The Constitution calls them necessary. The does not really understand what inflation is. He says that America has succeed because of freedom and capitalism with no mention of the blessings of God.
He thinks that the system that the founders adopted was to push candidates to the center. This is a symptom of the two party system not an intent of the founders the wanted many candidates and most were at the founding against parties at all. Term limits will not help without more parties either we would just be getting a new lessor of two evils. We need good candidates to step up and run.
He fails to identify both the Democrats and Republicans, the political right and the political left as being pro-New World Order. That they are both controlled by the Council on Foreign Relations.
He claims that the government has no powers that we the people do not have. OK. Who can I tax?
He does not think that there are or will be FEMA camps. There were no camps when they rounded up the Japanese Americans during WWII.

This book is a good examination of the trials that Washington faced as a leader from the time he was a young officer in the French and Indian War until his post presidency life. It also compares some of his leadership style to the leadership of other founding fathers. The author also does a good job translating the principles to the current age from the 1700's.

Read this book.
The book is great but there is on point that I thought was disingenuous. On page 150 his criticism of unions and real wages does not mention that the dollar was appreciating during a time that and most European currencies were depreciating. I am sure that Mr. Woods is aware of that fact. I will probably end up reading every book in the PIG series.

Although this book was written several years ago it is still a good read. It is a compilation of the speeches given at the founding convention of the US Taxpayer Party which is now the Constitution Party. Ron Paul is among the speakers. The are several topics including sound money. The principles that are mentioned are still relevant today. The Constitution does not change easily. Although the courts would like us to think that it is a changing document. It is not. It is a contract.

Read this Book.
This book is very informative though I do not agree with everything. The biggest problem I have is that though what is presented is factual it ignores that fact that Islamic people are being used by the elites of the world including the US.
There are many scripture references and this is a better study of the Muslim Religion than it is of Terrorism.

Whether or not you support the the idea of the FairTax you should read this book so that you know what it is about. The biggest fault in the logic that I found was the claim that wages would go up because the money that now goes to taxes could go to the employees and that prices would go down (pretax) because the taxes would not have to be incorporated into the price. You cannot have both.

Definitely Read this Book!
The worst part of the book is that it shows that we were screwed up (Constitutionally) from the beginning. It shows that even Washington subverted the Constitution. The author discusses many Supreme Court cases and the flawed (at best) logic used to decided them. Including the "emanations of penumbra," which is legalese for we just made it up.
Gutzman understands the Constitution and the RATIFIERS intentions. He shows why the ratifying conventions should be were we get our understanding even more than the Federalist Papers or that writing of the drafters.

At times reading this book I said to myself "Jesse you nailed it." At other times I almost stopped reading it because of his anti-Christian bias and Christian bashing. Before reading this book I thought that I could vote for Jesse. I would never do that now. He should himself to be just a politician not a statesman. If you are considering supporting Jesse read the book. He is ani-Christian, thinks global warming (even though there is currently global cooling) is man made, and is pro-abortion. He talks abour common sense not the Constitution.

This book explains what RFID chips are for those who do not know and what the government and major companies want to use them for. It is scary. They even want to inject these into our bodies. They will place a mark on the skin to indicate that one has the chip and where it is located. Originally this was going to be called "The Mark."
There is too much in this book to even summarize.

Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America
by Newt Gingrich
published by Regnery Publishing, Inc
An Eagle Publishing Company
Washington, DC
Copyright 2005
Only read this book it you realize that Newt is a Counsel on Foreign anti-American globalist.
The does make a case for us being a Christian nation which is about the only thing that he gets right. All of his solutions are big government solutions. They mostly involve the military or ways the government can gain more information on us.
In chapter four he claims to talk about bring the courts back under the Constitution but he never mentions the Constitution solution found in Article II section 3.
The only place in the book that he actually uses the Constitution to support being for or against something in on pg. 182.
He talk about balancing the budget and cutting spending but with not mention of limiting spending to the things mentioned in Article I section 8.
He claims to be a Christian but talks about want to learn more about how life evolved on the planet.
He also claims on pg. 138 that the congress cut spending while he was Speaker but on the same page he says that spending grew by 2.3%.
Forget the left right paradigm that the author likes to promote and realize most politicians unless they are true Constitutionalists want larger government. They only differ on what they want government to control and how fast they want it to grew.
