A Time to Fight: Reclaiming a Fair and Just America ReviewIn his refreshingly good A Time to Fight, Jim Webb, junior senator from Virginia confesses that he once spent a few years as a boxer and that sometimes when he enters the Senate Chamber he thinks, "This is the ring. The American people can see us here, and listen to our arguments. This is where the fights matter." In A Time to Fight, he aims to let us know which battles he thinks are worth fighting.
If you think (as, I confess, I did before reading this book) that you've got Jim Webb pegged down as your typical charismatic, flag-waving warrior, think again. He reveals himself in these pages to be an independent thinker who doesn't parrot the latest partisan mantra but instead is imaginative and courageous enough to take the best from both sides of the aisle. He endorses the Nixon Doctrine, for example, actually calling it the best foreign policy of his lifetime. He's also a deeply patriotic man who admits that he feels humbled whenever he sees the Capitol building and thinks about what it symbolizes. Yet his patriotism and his understanding of the US as a superpower aren't chauvinist or neoconservative. He thinks the current war was a mismanaged and needless affair. He's extremely critical of the growing imbalance of wealth in this country. He calls for a revamping of the criminal justice system, worrying that the country has gone "completely jail happy." He warns that in recent years the executive branch has become disproportionately powerful. And he has a deep and abiding faith in the ability of citizens, when properly informed and responsibly represented, to govern themselves well.
Webb tells us early on that he has an "innate distrust of the ornaments of power," and most of the battles he wants to take on deal with the abuse of power. In all this, his intellectual commitment to democracy as well as his personal dedication and decency come through loud and clear. In a year in which several very good books by American politicans have appeared, A Time to Fight is one that's reflective, insightful, and inspiring. Webb's a guy to watch.A Time to Fight: Reclaiming a Fair and Just America Overview

Dude, Where's My Country ReviewHey folks, this is place for book reviews, not just somewhere to hammer your political stakes. If I want to know a good restaurant in which to eat, I don't get much help from people who say "that place sucks," or "it's awesome, maan." Those are not restaurant reviews. They are inarticulate blanket statements that tell me very little about culinary establishments. If some moron who doesn't like Italian food, but loves Chinese food, even if it is bad, makes those statements, I am not in a very good position to find a good restaurant.
But, hey, Moore's book is not exactly fine literature either, nor is it supposed to be. It is the stuff that touches nerves and induces one or two sentence leftwing or rightwing rants. While this may be bad for the Amazon book review section, it is good for political discourse.
And that is where many "professional" reviewers (or the publicists who pick abridged comments) fare little better than the guy who likes lousy Chinese food. The first splash review on the back of the book exclaims "Moore is a comic genius." This comment is like a court reporter exclaiming "Kobe Bryant is a basketball genius" after covering a pretrial hearing.
Well, Moore is damned funny, but the book is not primarily a comic work. Chapter 10 is hilarious, granted, but this is a book of serious political and social commentary peppered with quips and sarcasm. Moore fans already know that model, and they aren't the ones reading these reviews for the purpose of finding a good read.
The book is a Bush-bashing of epic proportions, but the weapon for the beating is not weird conspiracy theories as some might want to claim. Sure, Moore suggests that the war in Iraq is about oil, that the terrorist threat is a Republican political tool to exploit patriotic sentiment, and other ideas that put grins on the faces of liberals and frowns on the faces of conservatives. But the plain well-documented facts in the book do the talking (as they do in any decent piece of research).
Startling revelations of the Bush family's intimate business and social dealings with the Saudi Royal family are Moore's most powerful weapon. And, no, he is not relying on innuendo or rhetoric. Actually, he is using mainstream media sources, even those owned by arch-conservative Rup Murdoch. Moore describes how the Saudis were overtly protected from scrutiny after 9/11 by Ashcroft and company (to the great dismay of the FBI), while hundreds of other Arabs on American soil were rounded up like Japanese Americans during WWII, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 highjackers were Saudis. And that is just an appetizer.
In all, the book effectively discredits Bush and his agenda - from tax cuts to the Patriot Act to foreign affairs. Moore is persuasive in describing Bush's presidency as an absolute disaster for the country (our country if you were wondering which one).
On the disappointing side, Moore wants to have his cake and eat it too (the common pitfall of most political discourse). While Moore doesn't sketch out theories, he asks questions that imply, for example, that Osama wasn't perhaps as responsible as the Saudi establishment for 9/11. But he then asserts his desire for Osama to be caught and held responsible. This is a bit of a trap for Moore. He asks a lot of questions of Bush - legitimate questions that need to be answered. But the reader (particularly the unlikely conservative reader) may see these as rhetorical questions for which Moore is implying answers. The easy leap for the critic is "conspiracy theory." For those less likely to make that judgment, the problem may be more like the Osama one: Innuendo A is not consistent with Assertion B.
Perhaps inevitable, this flaw is the soft underbelly for those wishing to dismiss other parallel arguments which are well crafted and well researched.
Finally, does this book "suck" or is it "awesome?" Well, I read it in one sitting, which rules out "sucks." It is not awesome as in "awesome dude-meister!" It is awe inspiring for the plain questions it asks and the startling revelations it makes. Strip away all of Moore's prose if you wish, and you will be left with a body of research that should leave you sickened not only by Bush and his puppeteers, but by Congress, and maybe even your brother-in-law.Dude, Where's My Country Overview

The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11 ReviewThe more you read about this administration, the more you piece together the inner workings and mechanizations of a dysfunctional leadership that spends more time on propaganda and plausible deniability than on governance.
Suskind paints a picture that is becoming all too familiar. Everything for Mr. Bush was funneled through the narrow straw of Dick Cheney who filtered all the information the president would see. This not only slowed the information process, it effectively buried it. (It seems Richard Clarke who wrote "Against All Enemies" was right).
Following the attack on 9/11, Cheney instituted the One Percent Doctrine: If there is one percent chance of a terrorist action, there should be a response. Considering that almost all events short of the laws of physics have a one percent chance, our intelligence and law enforcement agencies ran ragged around the world chasing minutiae that came to nothing instead of focusing on hard evidence and solid leads. These were thrown into the mix of nonsense dilluting intelligence efforts.
The CIA and FBI were also being harried to get results so the administration could use these successes for public consumption. In some cases, they were forced to end operations that might have borne fruit if the administration had not blown them by publicizing the investigations.
Do you remember when no WMD were found, and this administration blamed the intelligence community for giving them the wrong information? It turns out, according to Ron Suskind, that the White House kept sending back CIA reports that claimed there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin-Laden. We learn that CIA analysts and supervisors were livid when the White House constantly asked them if there was a connection between the two. Their reports were returned with their concluding paragraphs deleted or questions about Hussein and Osama added. In short, they cherry-picked and publicized mischaracterized and misinterpreted information to achieve their political ends.
Now enter George Tenet, fall guy, who has to take the hit for Bush and Cheney. The man who doesn't remember ever having said "it's a slam dunk" found that the administration had made public this statement he doesn't remember making. It was now time for Tenet and the CIA to take the fall for an administration that ignored its warnings. Tenet receives the Medal of Freedom for keeping his mouth shut. Blaming the CIA did have its consequences. Analysts whose reports were ignored or mischaracterized began leaking information to the press, information that embarrassed the White House.
Suskind said it best in his closing pages: "Mistakes can't be publicly acknowledged; certainty, even in the face of countermanding evidence, becomes a surrogate for courage; will stands in for earned--regularly tested--conviction." "... the self-interested use of classified materials to carry forward politcal ends; the very concealment of the true nature of what's been happening since 9/11 in favor of a sanitized, 'need to know' version--are all means that, whatever their advertised value, strike at the nation's character." This sums up his feelings about the Bush/Cheney administration. As a famous Amnerican once said, "any government that doesn't trust its people doesn't deserve the trust of the people."
If there is at least a one percent chance that Suskind is right, shouldn't the American people respond?The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11 Overview

The Broken Hearth: Reversing the Moral Collapse of the American Family ReviewIn 1960, one in twenty births was out of wedlock. Now, the ratio is one in three. Celebrities such as Madonna and Jodie Foster have been upfront in getting pregnant but not getting married (thank God Madonna finally married her second child's father). Although the divorce rate peaked in 1980 (how much higher could it have gone?), it has not significantly decreased since then. Regardless of the fact that gays have legitimate rights to privacy, many groups advocate sanctification of the gay relationship in marriage.
Bill Bennett takes these issues on and, predictably enough, he decries the current situation. He notes that there has been some progress in solving our social ills such as a reduction in the welfare roles and a reduction in crime but, generally, the situation remains grim. I would have liked a better explanation of how the crime rate and welfare roles have decreased when there are so many out of wedlock births ... that seems to be inconsistent. However, I nontheless agree with his premise. A society which encourages strong families is more stable and has less social problems.
Certainly, some of Bennett's solutions are controversial, such as making divorce laws tougher. However, I agree that often while a spouse argues that it will be better for the kids if the marriage ends than if the kids live in a house with a rocky marriage, the opposite is in fact true. Unless there is abuse or some other catastrophic problem, how many children would vote to have Mom and Dad divorce if they had the choice? How many children, as opposed to their parents, are actually happier after a divorce? I would suggest very few are.
I am very conservative and the instability of the family is of deep concern to me. This book crystalizes my views and will be helpful in my formulating arguments for the preservation of the traditional family. Therefore, since Bennett echoes and elucidates my concerns, I like and recommend this book.The Broken Hearth: Reversing the Moral Collapse of the American Family Overview

The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty Reviewit is still a worthwhile read. You get some great background info on the Bushes. Love them or hate them, their successes didn't happen in a vaccum. They thoroughly understand that their achievments depend on two things; networking and making enough money to be comfortable while pursuing their political goals. It also demonstrates that while Bush Sr was not a great president he is undervalued as a statesman. Few people walked into the White House with as much experience as George Herbert Walker Bush.

That said I think this book is an especially good read for people trying to understand why Bush Sr's presidency has a different flavor than that of his son Dubya. And for people who aren't familiar with the saga, they will learn that the family pinned their political hopes on Jeb and were astonished when Dubya became Gov of Tex then President.

Even though this book does favor the Bushes there are some things that even they can't paint a pretty picture of. Such as Prescott Srs involvement in Yales Skull and Bones Society's plundering of Geronimos bones and his fumble when he jokingly told his mother during WWI that he won 3 medals of honor from three countries. His mother unwittingly shared that with the press only to have to shamefacedly retract it later.

Another example of where this book paints a less than flattering picture of the Bushes is that it also shows a mean spirited side to Bush Sr in some of his remarks to Barbara about her weight and her cooking. And even Barbara isn't spared. While she is generally portrayed in a positive light you can't help but see that Barbara on occassion employed some "Nancy Reagan-like" tactics when she thought someone wasn't being loyal to the Bush family. And, in immersing herself in the Bush identity she became disengaged from her own family.

In summary this book is a good foundation to understanding the Bushes but you may want to do some "cross reading" from other sources to get a more complete picture of this interesting family.The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty Overview

Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, but Conservatives Will ReviewBrent Bozell has painted a very accurate picture of the Clinton modus of operation and the documented bias of the mainstream media. He names names , dates, and places and has obviously done his homework. Aside from the hypocrisy and duplicity of the Clintons who are portrayed as congenital liars, corrupt, mean, and manipulative, the bias of the mainstream media and the effect they have on the political landscape is frightening, and the main thrust of the book. I'm a recovering liberal (their Socialist and partisan agenda lost me) who voted for Bill C. twice( we all make mistakes) and feel hoodwinked by the media. A subtle manipulation that the average or casual viewer or reader may not pick up on--they are duplicitous. This is a book for middle of the roaders and Independents. If you're far left, you won't buy it or believe it. If you're far right, it's preaching to the choir. But before the next election I would hope those that depend on the nightly news and the mainstream print media for truth in reporting read this. This woman is not qualified or fit to be President. She made "politics of personal destruction " an art form. The "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"" (A book by Jeffrey Toobin that I also read) exists only in her mind and is right out of the Clinton playbook. When cornered , play the "poor me" victim card, obfuscate, blame "they" and lie. The media will enable and help.
The left wing conpiracy poses far more danger to all of us. You will know that there are far more Dan Rathers and Katie Courics than there are Rush Limbaughs. This book shines a light on the fawning and incompetent cockroaches in the mainstream media. How her and her husband keep getting a free pass is beyond reasonable comprehension. I was a registered Democrat for 45 years and believe every word of it. It's on the money!

Welcome to JesusLand (Formerly the United States of America): Shocking Tales of Depravity, Sex, and Sin Uncovered by God's Favorite Church, Landover Baptist ReviewI am a Christian. Hands down, I will never back down from my faith. However, there are a lot of people out there who claim Christianity yet, live a life totally different from Christ. Being a conservative Christian does not work. We cannot point fingers and label people as "sinner," all that does is push them away and give them a reason to write a book such as this one. I have had many bad run-ins with the Baptist church. Honestly, this book is pretty dead on with some of my experiences. I am a ministry leader but I am constantly around those who the traditional church turns its back on. So in summary:
To the Christians: stop complaining about this book. You probably caused this to happen and are just angry because you see yourself within it. Go read a book called unChristian by David Kinneman.. maybe it will change your perceptions.
To those who support this book: good job, someone has to take a stand against right winged Baptist Nazis.Welcome to JesusLand (Formerly the United States of America): Shocking Tales of Depravity, Sex, and Sin Uncovered by God's Favorite Church, Landover Baptist Overview

Garet Garrett's The People's Pottage: The Revolution Was, Ex America, The Rise of Empire ReviewIn November, 1932 the American people, frustrated with the failure of the Hoover administration to lead the nation out of financial panic, elected the patrician Franklin Roosevelt as president. The FDR campaign platform called for balancing the federal budget by curtailing wasteful and excessive federal expenditures, encouraging private investment and job creation, and keeping the dollar stong. Immediately after FDR's landslide election, the national banking crisis worsened. Capital fled the U.S., via boatloads of gold headed overseas. Banks failed by the thousands. Millions were thus impoverished and ruined.
In the four months between election day of 1932 and his swearing-in in March of 1933, FDR refused all opportunities to cooperate with the outgoing President Hoover in dealing with the banking crisis. By the day FDR ascended to office, the Great Depression had reached a nadir of national despair.
Immediately upon entering the White House, FDR closed the banks, using a document that had been prepared months earlier by Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury. Soon thereafter, departing from the script left by Hoover, FDR called in the nation's gold. That is, FDR asked the American people to assist their government by lending it their gold for the duration of the crisis. Trusting citizens by the millions went to their banks and handed over gold coins and bullion, in return for which the U.S. government issued gold certificates that specifically promised to repay the bearer in an equal sum of the yellow metal. But by mid-1934, FDR had devalued the nation's currency by over 40% and repudiated the promise to return the gold to the people.
This tyrannical act of gold confiscation, and numerous other of FDR's imperial actions as president, form the subject of Garet Garrett's writing. Mr. Garrett views what happened to the U.S. under FDR's governance through a lens of revolutionary analysis. That is, FDR and his advisors were creatures of a socialist and collectivist mindset. They foisted, in essence, a socialist revolution upon the U.S. of the 1930's. But instead of a violent revolution leading to the overthrow of the existing ancien regime, similar to what occurred in Russia and other European nations, the FDR revolution hauled down the stars & stripes and in its place replaced it with ... the stars & stripes.
Without changing one word of the U.S. Constitution, FDR and his administration essentially re-wrote the document from the inside-out. FDR et al. overthrew the structures of government power that had prevailed in the U.S. since 1789, and replaced these structures with the origins of the modern U.S. welfare state. Tax-tax, borrow-borrow, spend-spend have been the hallmarks of federal governance since 1933.
If you subscribe to the thesis that the economic underpinnings of the U.S. welfare state are commencing to unravel, you should read up on Garet Garrett. If you believe that the U.S. dollar is dropping in value, and falling in a financial death-spiral as the nation inwardly liquidates after 70 years of living with FDR's legacy, then you should review what Garet Garrett had to say.
Garet Garrett is a lost master of social and economic analysis. But he was and remains a prophet of the long-term folly of FDR's Depression-era revolution.Garet Garrett's The People's Pottage: The Revolution Was, Ex America, The Rise of Empire Overview

Protect and Defend: A Thriller ReviewAfter "Act of Treason," which I found disappointing, I was concerned that Vince Flynn's newest offering might also fall short of his earlier Mitch Rapp novels. Fortunately, Vince Flynn is back in the saddle and has delivered yet another good book - not up to his best efforts, but good nonetheless.
I just love Mitch Rapp. He's a terrific character unburdened by PC constraints. The remarkable thing about Mitch Rapp is that this outrageously un-PC protagonist was conceived BEFORE 9-11!! Mitch Rapp was killing Islamic terrorists in at least three books before 9-11. While most of us were contentedly sitting back and enjoying our lives oblivious to the extremes to which Islam and its adherents would eventually take us Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp was fighting the good fight. To say that Vince Flynn was prescient would be an understatement.
In Flynn's previous novel, "Act of Treason" there were a few loose ends that needed to be wrapped up. "Protect and Defend" begins with the simultaneous resolution of those loose ends as well the present day conundrum of what to do with the Iranian nuclear capability. Flynn's writing style is engaging as always and draws the reader rapidly into the story line. If you like Jack Bauer from "24" you will love Mitch Rapp.
In "Protect and Defend" the indomitable Mitch Rapp is enlisted by CIA director Irene Kennedy to investigate the destruction of Iran's nuclear production facility. The usual intrigue ensues and Kennedy and Rapp end up traveling to Iran to defuse a geopolitical crisis. Kennedy is abducted, and in Rapp's indomitable manner she is rescued. Rapp, as is usual, is willing to do anything to protect his country and those with whom his loyalties lie.
Again, absolutely no sop to PC aficionados in this book or from this character who Flynn has developed over several books. I guess you could argue that Flynn's books and Rapp are somewhat predictable, but I don't care one iota.
The book is a relatively short read and the story moves at a rapid pace from beginning to end. Due to its brevity, you kind of get the idea that Flynn is once again mining the Rapp franchise for all it is worth, but in this case the book manages to deliver. While not quite as good as his earliest efforts it is a good read.
