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

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.

End the Fed

End the Fed

This book is a what to read.
This is a great book for a novice on the Federal Reserve system. It also has some information for those who know a little more. I would suggest it for anyone. It contains some interesting conversations that Dr. Paul had will both Greenspan and Bernanke. He explores the philosophical (moral) case, Constitutional case, economic case and libertarian case against the Fed.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution
by Kevin Gutzman

published by Regnery Publishing
Washington, DC
copyright 2007

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.
