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.

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.

America and the World

America and the World

By Zbignew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft, and David Ignatius
published by Basic Books
New York, NY
copyright 2008

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?

End the Fed

End the Fed

by Ron Paul
Grand Central Publishing
New York, NY
copyright 2009

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.

America for Sale

America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty

by Jerome Corsi
Threshold Editions
New York, NY
copyright 2009

This definitely a What to Read.
This is a mainstream look at the New World order. Dr. Corsi is often falsely labeled as a right wing Republican but he is not a Republican is a member of the Constitution Party. In this book he looks at how as he states the political right and the political left, Republicans and Democrats, are to blame for the financial crisis and how they both in their own way are selling out the American people in favor of globalism.
He also looks at solutions. Solutions to reverse the global New Deal.
1. Close Down the Federal Reserve (Read End the Fed by Ron Paul).
2. Pull out of NAFTA, CAFTA, and the WTO.
3. Close down the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.
4. Cut taxes and Close the IRS.
5. Create a Gold-Backed US Dollar for International Trade. (I would have a gold backed dollar period.
Personal Strategies for Economic Hard Times.
1. Bring Expanded Families Back Together.
2. Relocate in Small Towns
3. Plan for Second and Third Careers.
4. Avoid Investing in Stocks and Bonds.
5. Invest in Primary Residential Real Estate.
6. Reduce Debt (Read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey).
7. Buy Gold.
A Plan for Patriots.
1. Secure the Border and Enforce Immigration Laws.
2. Involve Congress in All National-Emergency Declarations.
3. Declare State Sovereignty Under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
4. End Bailouts and Balance the Federal Budget.
5. Eliminate Federal Social-Welfare Programs.

The only side that this book takes is that of a Sovereign US.

George Washington on Leadership

George Washington on Leadership










by Richard Brookhiser
published by Basic Books
Philadelphia, PA
copyright 2008

Read this Book
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.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History

The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History

by Thomas Woods, Jr., Ph.D.
published by Regnery Publishing Co.
Washington, DC
copyright 2004

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.

The Next Four Years; A Vision of Victory

The Next Four Years: A Vision of Victory
by Howard Phillips
published by Adrfoit Press
Franklin, TN
copyright 1992

Read this book.
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.

Christians, Islamic Terrorism, and Israel

Christians, Islamic Terrorism, and Israel
by Jim Vineyard
publisher unknown
no copyright

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.

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.

Don't Start the Revolution Without Me

Don't Start the Revolution With out Me


By Jesse Ventura with Dick Russell
Published by Skyhorse Publishing
New York, NY
copyright 2008

Read this book at your own risk.
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.

The Spy Chips Threat

The Spy Chips Threat: Why Christians Should Resist RFID and Electronic Surveilance

by Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre
published by Nelson Current
Nashville, TN
Copyright 2006

Read this book.
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.

Cosbyology: Essays and Observations from the Doctor of Comedy

published by Hyperion
New York

What can I say this is vintage Cosby. He is funny. He talks about life and makes you laugh. Even I need a break from the serious reading sometimes. The book contains twenty short humorous stories. Read one a day or something like that.

Schmoozing with Terrorists

Schmoozing with Terrorists...From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal Their Global Plans -to a Jew!
By Aaron Klein

Schmoozing With Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal Their Global Plans— to a Jew!
This book is a definite what to read.
Aaron Klein is a Jewish reporter who meets with terrorists where they live. They treat him to tea while telling him that they are going to kill him. The one important thing to remember when reading the book is that Klein is Jewish. This is important when he is editorializing. Also, he often uses the word Christians to describe people who are just not Jewish and not necessarily Christian.
If you only read one chapter of the book the must read is chapter six: How YOU Fund Terrorism. This chapter deals with how the US government funds terrorist groups. The reasoning is that they will use them against our common enemies. They do this but then when they have the opportunity to they give them to the common enemy to kill Americans and Jews.
