Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America
by Ann Coulter
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Liberals love to play the victim, says Ann Coulter – particularly when they are oppressing others. "That is the essence of liberals," writes Coulter in her new bestseller, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. "They viciously attack everyone else, while wailing that they are the victims."

Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
by Mark Levin
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Let's face it: conservatism is in crisis. The liberal media is gleefully pronouncing it dead, and President Obama and his Far-Left henchmen are doing all they can to make sure it is marginalized and silenced. But radio talk show host Mark Levin is not ready to admit defeat! In Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, he outlines a sweeping new conservative approach toward key issues including immigration, education, health care, the welfare state, the free market, and environmentalism. Above all, he issues a ringing call for a return to the true principles of Federalism and the Constitution as the Framers intended it to be -- a true conservative manifesto!

The American Patriot's Almanac
by William Bennett
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 97%


We Americans are so good at critiquing our own nation, so determined to make it better, that sometimes we neglect to acknowledge all that is wonderful about it. After all, for all its flaws, the United States has brought freedom to more people than any other nation in history. It has welcomed millions to its shores. It offers its citizens one of the highest standards of living in the world. If the United States is not worth loving, then no country is. Now, to help us remember and appreciate all that, William J. Bennett and his longtime collaborator John T.E. Cribb have created The American Patriot's Almanac -- a daily source of inspiration and information about the history, heroes, and achievements that sum up what this nation is all about.

The Reagan I Knew
by William F. Buckley, Jr.
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


It is fitting, perhaps, that when William F. Buckley Jr. was struck down at his desk in February 2008 he was putting the finishing touches on this memoir of Ronald Reagan. No two men were more important to the rise and triumph of conservatism in America than Buckley and Reagan; and though each was a titan in his own right, neither could have stood as tall without the other. Each, too, had a great capacity for humor, conversation, and most of all lasting and loyal friendship. The Reagan I Knew, then, is much more than a memoir, more than a political biography -- it is a highly personal, often hilarious, and finally deeply moving chronicle of the friendship between the two great figures of the modern American Right.

Meltdown: A Free Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse
by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Since the fall of 2008 -- as the stock market plummeted, companies folded, and millions were put out of work -- Americans have been bombarded with a relentless refrain: the free market economy has failed. The remedy? According to Barack Obama, the late Bush Administration, Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and the mainstream media, it's more regulation, more government intervention, and more spending. But now, in Meltdown: A Free MArket Look at Why the Stock Maket Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse, bestselling author Thomas E. Woods Jr. demonstrates that the current crisis was caused not by the free market but by the government's intervention in the market -- and that further intervention in the form of trillion-dollar bailouts and "stimulus packages" will only deepen and prolong the pain.

A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media
by Bernard Goldberg
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


"Never in my memory," says veteran journalist Bernard Goldberg, "were so many journalists so intent on effecting change as they were during the campaign of 2008." Sure, mainstream journalists always root for the Democrat -- Richard Nixon complained of media bias as long ago as his presidential campaign against John F. Kennedy in 1960. But in 2008 it went beyond that. In A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media, Goldberg shows that this time journalists were not satisfied merely being partisan witnesses to history.

The Case Against Barack Obama
by David Freddoso
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


He was "delivered to us," proclaimed Chris Matthews. He will transform America, healing our historical racial wounds. President Barack Obama will infuse us all with new hope. But behind the frenzied media adulation, Barack Obama is no messiah figure. He is a mere man. Even worse, he is a politician. Now David Freddoso, investigative reporter and National Review Online columnist, reveals who Barack Obama is and what he really stands for -- and makes The Case Against Barack Obama.

The Audacity of Deceit
by Brad O'Leary
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


His soaring rhetoric offers "change." He promises a utopian administration of unity, bipartisanship, and compromise that will bring about this "change." In reality, however, he is a Far-Left political hack and hustler whose policies could do nothing less than destroy America as we know it. As President, Barack Obama could bring back President Jimmy Carter's rock-bottom economy of double-digit inflation and unemployment, throwing millions into poverty and ending once and for all the great sustained wave of prosperity that Ronald Reagan set in motion.

Fleeced
by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Americans feel fleeced at every turn, and it's no wonder. As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress are effectively AWOL. And who’s calling the shots instead? Big government, big business, big labor, and big lobbyists -- all with self-serving agendas that do nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying exorbitant credit card interest rates, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. Now, in Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the New Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Fleecing Us . . . and What to Do About It, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann help you, the American taxpayer, defend not only yourself, but also our embattled nation.

Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works
by Newt Gingrich
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Red America and Blue America: our nation is hopelessly and equally divided between liberals and conservatives -- right? Wrong. In Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works, Newt Gingrich explains that America has a natural, overwhelming conservative majority — a majority that has a better grasp of the challenges facing America than the Washington bureaucrats, politicians and lobbyists who don’t think of solving problems, but of managing “the system.”

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
by Jonah Goldberg
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


"Fascists!" "Brownshirts!" "Jackbooted stormtroopers!" Such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. But who are the real fascists in our midst? In Liberal Fascism, National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg shows that the original fascists are really on the left -- and that liberals, from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton, have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler and Mussolini.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
by Robert Spencer
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Exclusive hardcover edition -- not available in stores!

When PC propagandists assure us that jihadist terror doesn't reflect "true," "peaceful" Islam, they're not only wrong, they're dangerous -- because they lull America and the West into letting their guard down against their mortal enemy. And not only do self-appointed "experts" lie elaborately and persistently about Islam -- they have also replaced the truth about Christian Europe and the Crusades with an all-pervasive historical fantasy that is designed to make you ashamed of your own culture and heritage -- and thus less determined to defend it. But now there's a remedy: in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), Robert Spencer reveals all the disturbing facts about Islam and its murderous hostility to the West that other books ignore, soft-pedal -- or simply lie about.

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
by Ann Coulter
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


"The truth," says Ann Coulter, "cannot be delivered with novocaine." In her latest blockbuster, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans, she wallops Democrats with a full dose of unvarnished, unadulterated reality -- as only Coulter can deliver it. Witty, sharp-tongued, outrageous, and always faithfully conservative, here is Ann at her best, running circles around liberal pundits, pols and Leftist wackos before they even know what has hit them. read more






Great Quotations That Shaped the Western World
by Carl H. Middleton
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 97%


Samuel Johnson once said, "Classical quotation is the parole of literate men the world over." But finding an anthology of quotations that isn't distorted by liberal bias is increasingly a challenge. For instance, did you know that Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th edition, features 37 quotations from Franklin Roosevelt, 28 from John F. Kennedy -- and only three from Ronald Reagan? And here's the kicker: when the book's editor, Justin Kaplan, was told that all three Reagan selections seemed chosen to make Reagan look ridiculous, he replied, "I'm not going to disguise the fact that I despise Ronald Reagan."

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism
by Christopher Horner
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to give the sinister prize they want most of all: total control of American politics, economic activity, and even individual behavior. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left's manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes - and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. read more






My Grandfather's Son
by Clarence Thomas
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


His early life in the dusty town of Pinpoint, Georgia, was marked by poverty and hunger. His father abandoned his family when he was one year old, leaving his teenage mother to raise him on a $10 a week maid's salary. When this became impossible to continue, she sent him, now seven, to live with her father in the comparatively big city of Savannah. This move would forever change the life of Clarence Thomas, a man who has moved from poverty and hardship to the Supreme Court, becoming one of our nation's most stalwart conservatives. In My Grandfather's Son, Thomas tells his own moving, inspiring story -- from the deprivations and humiliations of his youth to the unconscionable defamation he suffered at the hands of the Left during his hotly contested confirmation battle for the Supreme Court. read more






Power to the People
by Laura Ingraham
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Power to the people! This has been the Left's slogan for decades -- but it has meant nothing for liberals except more power for them and less for free Americans. Now acclaimed radio host Laura Ingraham is calling for real power to be restored to the people ---- by the revival of traditional conservative principles, which, she argues compellingly here, constitute the true empowerment agenda. Power to the People is her call to arms, a ringing rallying cry to Americans to fight back -- to shake off our lethargy, reconnect with our American heritage, and fight for our culture and our country. read more






One Man's America
by George F. Will
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


The eighth collection of George F. Will’s scintillating syndicated columns, One Man’s America is unlike all previous ones. "The essays in the first seven," he explains, "were selected and arranged in order to give readers a retrospective tour d’horizon, a look back at the political and cultural controversies of the four or five years from which the writings were drawn. In this volume, I hope to illustrate how one conservative’s sensibility responded to disparate people, stories, and events." Moving far beyond the strict confines of politics, Will criss-crosses the country and traverses American history to illuminate everything and everyone that makes our nation, our culture and our people so distinctive.

A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity
by Bill O'Reilly
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


It was September 1957, and the future culture warrior Bill O'Reilly had just turned eight years old. In his third-grade class at St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, he did his best to challenge the rule of the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana -- until one day he has remembered ever since: "One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: 'William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.'"

1. What a Sale! Maybe they can drop the price to 1 c
I'm not normally for book burning but I wonder what the recycling price would be for a ton of these. Maybe fuel price would be better. Shame trees had to die to produce this dreck.

4. All of these books are such jokes--you can tell just from reading the blurbs
but I am grateful to know the story behind Billo's latest title:

"One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: 'William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.'"

So, there you have it, folks. Sister Lurana obviously wanted to describe Billo as a bold, fresh piece of something else--but being a nun, she could not do so. So, she changed her term to "humanity."

Sister Lurana obviously knew exactly what she was dealing with even then--and what the country would eventually be cursed to deal with as well.

5. 97% savings?
That's not nearly enough.

And the paper should be strong, soft and thoroughly absorbent. And the pages should be easy to tear out.

7. Slightly off-topic, but ...
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 09:23 AM by Akoto
What's the deal with books and gigantic titles? Maybe I'm just slipping early, but I don't remember this from when I was a kid. Some of them are almost longer than the actual content!

8. Remember the target audience
These people do indeed judge a book by its cover, so it's best to soothe their suspicions of the printed word early and often.
