• Glenn Beck’s Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="1439168571"]“If you believe it’s time to put principles above parties, character above campaign promises, and Common Sense above all — then I ask you to read this book….”

    In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation’s problems.

    One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future — and, ultimately, her freedom.

    Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-part monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.[/ReviewAZON]

  • Black Conservatives in The United States

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="0980258707"]This work is an examination of the black conservative phenomenon in the United States in contemporary times.

    The author looks at the role black conservatives play in American politics and at their attempts to have a positive impact on the lives of black Americans, also known as “African Americans”, a term many black conservatives don’t accept. They say black people in the United States are just “Americans,” and may be “Black Americans” but not “African Americans.”

    Subjects covered include perspectives black conservatives share on issues such as affirmative action, racism, poverty, self-reliance, welfare, drugs, crime and illegitimacy among blacks; the criminal justice system and how it affects blacks; and why black conservatives differ with other blacks on those issues.

    It is also a critique of “The Bell Curve,” a book that has inflamed passions especially among blacks, and of the views some black conservatives have expressed on racial IQ differences which have fuelled debate on this highly explosive subject.

    The author also looks at the policy and philosophical differences and at differences in perceptions between black conservatives and their brethren in the black community.

    Why do black conservatives oppose affirmative action? Why do they support the Republican party? Why don’t they have much support in the black community? Why are they called traitors by some of their own people, fellow blacks?

    Why do they say racism is no longer a major problem in the United States and that black people are their own number one problem and have only themselves to blame if they don’t succeed in life?

    Those are just some of the subjects addressed in the book.

    The author writes from personal experience after living and interacting with African Americans of all ideological stripes for more than 30 years.

    His interest in Black America spans the ideological spectrum and covers other aspects of life including relations between Africans and African Americans.

    He has written a book about those relations in which he also addresses the black conservative phenomenon in the United States.

    Like all his others books, “Black Conservatives in the United States” is intended for members of the general public and the academic community.

  • Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="0817949127"]

    In unyielding defense of personal liberty

    In this selected collection of his syndicated newspaper columns, Walter E. Williams once again takes on the left wing’s most sacred cows with provocative insights and brutal honesty. He offers his sometimes controversial views on education, health, the environment, government, law and society, race, and a range of other topics, always with an uncompromising reverence for personal liberty and the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

    Do we want socialized medicine? Do peace treaties produce peace? What’s wrong with education? What’s discrimination? Do we really care about children? Is this the America we want? Williams answers these and other provocative questions with his usual unflinching candor. Although many of these thoughtful, hard-hitting essays focus on the growth of government and our loss of liberty, many others demonstrate how the tools of free market economics can be used to improve our lives in ways ordinary people can understand – not just in the realm of trade and the cost of goods and services but in such diverse areas as racial discrimination, national defense, and even marriage.

  • Liberal Racism Creates the Black Conservative: Issues and New Perspectives

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="0595400337"]

    Conservative radio talk show host and columnist Lucky Rosenbloom takes a provocative look at the causal relationships between liberal racism, religion, and politics, and explores how liberals have fostered hatred toward Republicans in urban areas in Liberal Racism Creates the Black Conservative: Issues and New Perspectives.

    With this stimulating collection of past columns, Rosenbloom provides intellectual, yet harrowing opinions surrounding the social conditions that allow individuals the ability to perpetuate liberal political racism in communities of color. At an early age, Rosenbloom became intimately familiar with these types of racism. As a ten-year-old, he was bused to an all-white school and had to deal with his classmates’ intolerance, and he heard a racial slur (Nigger) directed at his father in a liberal court.

    In addition, Liberal Racism Creates the Black Conservative delves into alleged acts of racism in liberal entities from the Stillwater State Prison to the Hubert Humphrey Job Corps Center. Learn about Democrats who organized and destroyed the Rondo neighborhood in Minnesota, liberal politicians who taxed Blacks out of home ownership, and how Republicans are blamed for these actions. With Liberal Racism Creates the Black Conservative, Rosenbloom offers a controversial look at one of America’s most hotly debated topics today.

  • He Talk Like a White Boy: Reflections of a Conservative Black Man on Faith, Family, Politics, and Authenticity

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="B003A02RCQ"]

    Actor and social commentator Joseph C. Phillips speaks powerfully about the topic of life as a conservative African-American actor, husband, father, and citizen. In today’s political climate, with race such an issue, this collection of essays is not only timely, but thought provoking.

    Like Democratic candidate for President Barack Obama, Phillips has had his authenticity as a black man questioned by members of his own race, for trivial reasons such as the way he speaks, his choices in music, politics, faith, and family. Also like Obama, Phillips has often been accused of not being “black enough,” while, as an actor, he has encountered even more pointing fingers for not being liberal enough. With a frank voice, this brilliant and outspoken author presents a series of witty and provocative essays that examine life as a conservative African-American, and the simple fact that authenticity is far more complicated than one’s choice of words.

  • Black and Right: The Bold New Voice of Black Conservatives in America

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="B000QCQYA2"]Black conservatism is no oxymoron. Recent polls have indicated that an increasing number of black Americans identified themselves as conservatives, favoring smaller government, lower taxes, tougher crime laws, welfare reform, and personal initiative. While applauding the moral and legal victories of the Civil Rights Movement, the conservative spokespeople in this dynamic new collection reject the claims of inequities and what they consider to the self-serving agenda of the present civil rights establishment. National leaders such as Justice Clarence Thomas and former Representative Gary Franks and writers such as Shelby Steele and Glenn Loury appear either as contributors or as subjects in this volume. They emphasize the grassroots aspects of black conservatism with a reliance on common sense and common humanity.[/ReviewAZON]

  • Intellectuals and Society

    Books

    [ReviewAZON asin="046501948X"]

    The influence of intellectuals is not only greater than in previous eras but also takes a very different form from that envisioned by those like Machiavelli and others who have wanted to directly influence rulers. It has not been by shaping the opinions or directing the actions of the holders of power that modern intellectuals have most influenced the course of events, but by shaping public opinion in ways that affect the actions of power holders in democratic societies, whether or not those power holders accept the general vision or the particular policies favored by intellectuals. Even government leaders with disdain or contempt for intellectuals have had to bend to the climate of opinion shaped by those intellectuals.

    Intellectuals and Society not only examines the track record of intellectuals in the things they have advocated but also analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views and visions have emerged. One of the most surprising aspects of this study is how often intellectuals have been proved not only wrong, but grossly and disastrously wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society—and how little their views have changed in response to empirical evidence of the disasters entailed by those views.
