The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Andrew Bacevich
Metropolitan Books, 2008
Bacevich nails it. Read it and weep.
A dense but highly thoughtful analysis of our current problems. Right on target. How the heck did we ever let our country get into such an awful state. This is not only a great study of how we got here, it's a call to arms to change.

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule
Thomas Frank
Metropolitan Books, 2008
The Rosetta Stone of the George W. Bush Administration
This is a fascinating, extremely well referenced work about the neocon rule book. It explodes all the rumors that Bush is not smart. He has actually just been following this rule book.
Rule One: Government services are bad and business services are good. Attack big ...

The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality
Jerome R. Corsi
Threshold Editions, 2008
Great Book Tells The Facts
This is a great book. It is an important book. Except for those actively interested in destroying the United Staes (the left, Moslems and/or fools) no one who reads this book can vote for Obama. He is more than a Manchurian candidate who, in the movie at least, was ...

Economic Facts and Fallacies
Thomas Sowell
Basic Books, 2007
Required Reading for candidates
My fantasy of having great wealth is to start a foundation that would give a book a week to every member of Congress, every state legislator, every government policymaker, every opinion columnist and every candidate. This would be the second book we'd give out. First ...

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann
Harper, 2008
Fleeced
Dick Morris pointed out a lot of problems that needed to changed in this country. My take is John McCain is the one that can get a lot of these changes done.

What's the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America
Thomas Frank
Holt Paperbacks, 2005
Another native supporter
I just want to say that this book is completely on target and right about the political mindset of Kansas citizens in addition to almost every other right-winged American. I should know -- I used to live in Kansas. Luckily, I spent most of my life growing up in NY ...

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2007
Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time.
I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. ...

How to Win a Fight with a Conservative
Daniel Kurtzman
Hysteria Publications, 2007
A Really Humorous Book, Just Don't Take it Too Seriously
A friend gave me this book for Christmas this year because she knew how much I enjoyed ranting about politics. While it is not truly a self-help book, and I doubt anyone will win a fight with a conservative by following its directions, it is an enjoyable little ...

The Conscience of a Liberal
Paul Krugman
W. W. Norton, 2007
Finally some good news!
I pretty much read only non-fiction, which is usually very informative but highly depressing. Krugman somehow manages to cover the modern American political state of affairs without depressing me. In fact this book is very hopeful in specific ways and overall quite ...
