Wilson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: We hear it every day: government spending is out of control. Yet, despite all the rhetoric coming out of Washington about the need to cut spending, we continue to go deeper and deeper into debt. If we're serious about restoring America to fiscal health, we must do something about government spending, not just talk about it. So argues U.S. Senator Mike Lee in his new book, The Freedom Agenda. Revealing how the federal government went from a limited constitutional government to the colossal spending machine it is today, The Freedom Agenda clearly explains: Timely and powerful, The Freedom Agenda shows how to put the federal government back in its proper place and why a balanced budget is the key to reigning in spending and the federal government's abuse of power.

Doch was bedeutet es für die Arbeitnehmer, wenn Algorithmen Arbeitskräfte ersetzen und Start-ups ihre Arbeitnehmer projektbezogen beschäftigen? Die vermeintliche Jobmaschine Internet schafft vor allem prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse, stellt der renommierte Wirtschaftsjournalist Steven Hill in seinem Debattenhörbuch fest. Jung und gut ausgebildet, kennen die "digitalen Tagelöhner" (Ernst-Böckler-Stiftung des Deutschen Gewerkschafts-Bundes DGB) weder geregelte Arbeitszeiten noch Kündigungsschutz oder Urlaubsanspruch. Zeitarbeit und befristete Arbeitsverhältnisse sind an der Tagesordnung, die soziale Gerechtigkeit steht in Zeiten der Globalisierung zur Disposition. Uber, Airbnb und viele andere zeigen, wohin die Reise geht. Hill beschreibt, wie der Erfolg der Internet-Ökonomie schleichend unsere Gesellschaft verändert. Soziale Marktwirtschaft, Tarifpartnerschaft und ein hohes Maß an sozialer Sicherheit haben Deutschland stark gemacht - nun geht es darum, diese Errungenschaften zu schützen! >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich. ©2017 Droemersche Verlagsanstalt (P)2017 Audible GmbH

Wood's book Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse, he makes the case that the US Government was to blame for the 2008 meltdown and asks how the government can insure it doesn't happen again.

Finishing Machine Audiobook by Emilia Gardner, Mike Arnold

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Finishing Machine Subtitle: Was It Road Rage Murder or Self-Defense? A Trained Killer's Fight for Justice Author: Emilia Gardner, Mike Arnold Narrator: Spencer Cannon Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 07-20-17 Publisher: Versus Publishing Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The book that was banned by the Oregon Department of Corrections. From Mike Arnold, criminal defense attorney/author. More often than not, a defense attorney's clients are guilty. Gerald Strebendt certainly looked guilty of the January 2014 road rage murder. Marine sniper. Blackwater operative. MMA fighter with a 9-7 win-loss record, including an appearance in UFC 44. Strebendt was a trained killer, in other words, and one who just happened to be known for his hothead tendencies. It didn't help that his truck was a rolling armory that dark night on a rural road in Springfield, Oregon, or that the weapon he used to shoot the other unarmed driver wasn't anybody's idea of "the right gun" to be carrying around town. It was an AR-15-type rifle, a long, black semiautomatic that the world loves to label a "military assault rifle". Yes, Gerald Strebendt sure looked guilty to me. But he told me he was innocent. He said the other guy rammed Gerald's truck, got out of the car, and began yelling menacingly. That's when Strebendt grabbed his rifle and began retreating with it, repeatedly telling the other driver to stay back. But the guy kept coming. And that's when a single shot rang out and only Strebendt was left standing. So, was it road rage? Self-defense? Some combination of the two? I'm Mike Arnold, attorney for the defense, and this book isn't just the story of this shooting, or of Gerald Strebendt's guilt or innocence. It's also my story. Because, for the first time, I saw myself in one of my clients. And I realized that, in this case, neither one of us was likely to get a fair shake from the judicial system.

Laura est la fondatrice d' "ETHIPOP", un collectif de créateurs responsables et un programme d'accompagnement pour celles et ceux qui veulent créer les marques de demain. Depuis que j'ai découvert les impacts négatifs de la mode sur notre société et notre environnement (grâce au documentaire "The True Cost"), je suis de près celles et ceux qui ont à cœur de transformer cette industrie pour la rendre plus transparente, plus respectueuse, plus "impactante" (positivement cette fois). Parmi eux, il y a donc Laura Brown, engagée sur tous les fronts et dont la vision se résume simplement : "il faut faire de la niche, la norme". Dans cet épisode, Laura nous parle de son début de carrière dans l'immobilier puis de sa reconversion dans le milieu de la mode. Elle nous raconte son expérience de manager au Printemps Haussmann et comment une prise de recul et des vacances lui ont permis de donner vie à son projet : "ETHIPOP". On discute du nouveau visage de la mode éthique et de ce que ça signifie d'être une entrepreneure "social". Laura nous livre aussi ses inspirations anglo-saxonnes et nous parle de ses nombreux projets à venir. Très bonne écoute ! ©2017 Siham Jibril (P)2017 Siham Jibril

Graphiste de formation, elle a travaillé en tant que freelance puis monté son agence. Pourtant, elle ne se décrit pas comme "entrepreneure" mais plutôt comme "indépendante"... Dans cet épisode, Perrine revient sur ses études de graphisme et nous en dit plus sur sa formation. On discute des rythmes de travail qui varient selon qu'on soit freelance ou salarié dans une entreprise. Perrine nous raconte comment, en parallèle de son travail et de son agence, elle a lancé le blog "Les Confettis", qu'elle a plus tard décliné en une revue semestrielle. Discuter avec Perrine, c'est mesurer la place que prend parfois le "destin" dans une carrière et se dire qu'on fait bien parfois d'écouter les signes que nous donne la vie. Intuitive, fonceuse, Perrine a saisi les opportunités comme elles se présentaient à elle : elle nous les raconte et nous parle aussi de ses futurs projets. ©2017 Siham Jibril (P)2017 Siham Jibril

Analizando metodologías y recomendaciones para alcanzar la libertad que realizó Patria de Martí el Jueves 13 de Marzo de 2014 en la West Dade Regional Library de Miami. La tesis central del libro es que las sociedades que caen en esas formas de despotismo conocidas como dictaduras del siglo XXI, han aceptado previamente ideas falsas que las condenan al sometimiento. Las 10 ideas que se ponen en tela de juicio son: La suposición de que la dictadura supone violencia física, la democracia absoluta, la lucha de clases, la propia socialdemocracia, la igualdad, la noción del gobierno sabio, la suposición de que el estado es la ley, el equívoco de que el problema es la corrupción, la esperanza de que la prensa por sí sola nos hará libres y el impuesto a las ganancias con todo lo que eso significa. 10 Ideas Falsas que Favorecen al Despotismo es la clase de libros que no nos dejan indiferentes frente al problema del despotismo, expuesto con una absoluta prescindencia de toda corrección política, para quién tenga el valor de hacerse cargo de la realidad. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Alternative Erziehungs- und Lebensmodelle - Fehlanzeige. Echte Startups - nicht in Sicht. Ambitionierte Spezialisten und Forscher - wandern aus. Eine moralische Instanz - gibt es nicht. Hannes Jaenicke fordert deshalb: Vergesst Eure Angst! Habt Mut zu Individualität und Eigensinn, zum Ausscheren aus dem System. Begegnet den kleinen und großen Helden des Alltags wertschätzend und motivierend und traut auch Euch zu, den Unterschied auszumachen. ©2017 Headroom (P)2017 Headroom

Title: Liberal for Conservative Reasons Subtitle: How to Stop Being Obnoxious and Start Winning Elections Author: Peter Rice Narrator: Peter Rice Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-17 Publisher: Dog Tooth Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: We know from opinion polls that Americans basically agree with the liberal agenda. But on election day, they vote for conservatives. So what gives? Journalist Peter Rice argues that liberals cheat themselves out of victories by being annoying. They're all-too-quick to judge opponents as stupid, racist, insufficiently compassionate toward polar bears, and otherwise morally inferior. And they throw dry statistics and appeals to empathy at voters who are in no mood for either. In short, they sell liberal ideas with liberal values, which is about as effective as the guy at the dealership selling you a pickup by telling you about the fat commission he's got coming. Luckily, there's a simple solution: Use arguments that actually resonate with the other side. Be liberal, but for conservative reasons.

Vote First or Die Audiobook by Scott Conroy

Title: Vote First or Die Subtitle: The New Hampshire Primary: America's Discerning, Magnificent, and Absurd Road to the White House Author: Scott Conroy Narrator: Jeremy Arthur Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: New Hampshire - a small state with a small, distinct population - is nevertheless the beacon of American democracy. Since 1920 its residents have been the first in the nation to cast their votes in the presidential primaries. History has shown that if you want to be commander in chief, you have to win or at least place a strong second in New Hampshire. Donald Trump bolstered the trend with his victory in 2016. For that reason the state is also the graveyard of political ambitions: incumbent presidents Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush were all wounded by strong primary challengers in New Hampshire - and well-known, well-funded candidates see the White House disappear when they can't figure out how to win it. For a year and a half leading up to Primary Day, Scott Conroy followed the often absurd 2016 campaign up and down New Hampshire. Along the way he got up close and personal with the candidates themselves while absorbing local insights and entertaining anecdotes from the peppery state officials and wily operatives who have determined national political fates for generations. From far-flung towns like Dixville Notch and Berlin to "big cities" like Manchester and Portsmouth, in Vote First or Die, Conroy reveals the inner workings of American politics through the unforgettable characters who populate the exceedingly influential state of New Hampshire. Critic Reviews: "Conroy can sting nicely...not letting anyone come out unscathed...A quirky, well-observed account of how electoral politics works." (Kirkus Reviews) "As a reporter who chronicled my first New Hampshire primary in 1980, I love Scott Conroy's rollicking appreciation of the crown jewel of American democracy. Equally compelling and often funny are Conroy's anecdotes from the NH campaigns that he covered from John McCain to a fellow named Trump." (Walter Shapiro, columnist for Roll Call and author of One-Car Caravan: On the Road with the 2004 Democrats Before America Tunes In)

Author: Jayme MacCullough Narrator: Alex Knox Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-17 Publisher: Pathway to Liberty Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: America has problems, but there is a solution. Throughout history, leaders and nations have attempted to control and contain their citizens while others have worked to counter them. Significant individuals, decisions, and documents have been turning points in the history of liberty, from the beginning of the human race to today. The principles of liberty are unchanging and timeless. When understood and applied by individuals, they transform lives and nations. The United States exemplifies this to the world. Taking a broad but factual approach to explaining the pathway of liberty through past events, the first part of this book simplifies the language and principles of liberty. In the next section, listeners learn about the history and succession of liberty in process and action from ancient to modern times - the ideologies of various governments; the governmental influence of the early church and the Reformation; and, eventually, the founding of the United States and the expansion and erosion of American government. This book will help you understand the principles and history of liberty that have enabled individuals to enjoy the personal liberties of today. It will equip the listener to understand, restore, and preserve them.

Author: J N Paquet Narrator: Nancy Bos Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-16 Publisher: J N Paquet Books Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This is a practical book providing valuable reporting and facts on populism in politics during a divisive time in the world. The author takes a close look at the dynamics that exist between populism and the society in general. From Farage in Britain to Podemos in Spain, Syriza in Greece, Sarkozy, Orbán, Hofer or Duda, the book takes us on a journey to understand how populist characters have successfully challenged established elites, mainstream parties and experts in recent years and forever redefined politics from a left-right two-party system with shared democratic values to a split multi-party system with deeply rooted nationalistic and revolutionary principles. The old left-tight, Socialist-Conservative, Labour-Tories, Democrats-Republicans divisions have now given place to new divides: Brexiteers-Remoaners, Trump-Sanders, racists/bigots-world citizens, and populists-unifiers. The series will try to answer the question of the future of populism. Will it keep rising or eventually come to a halt? What comes after populism?

Title: Inside the Carnival Subtitle: Unmasking Louisiana Politics Author: Wayne Parent Narrator: Jim D. Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: With both an entertainer's eye and a social scientist's rigor, Wayne Parent subjects Louisiana's politics to rational and empirical analysis, seeking and finding coherent reasons for the state's well-known unique history. He resists resorting to vague hand-waving about exoticism, while at the same time he brings to life the juicy stories that illustrate his points. Parent's main theme is that Louisiana's ethnic mix, natural resources, and geography define a culture that in turn produces its unique political theater. He gives special attention to immigration patterns and Louisiana's abundant supply of oil and gas, as well as to the fascinating variations in political temperaments in different parts of the state. Most important, he delivers thorough and concise explanations of Louisiana's unusual legal system, odd election rules, overwrought constitutional history, convoluted voting patterns, and unmatched record of political corruption. In a new epilogue, Parent discusses how the hurricanes of 2005 will affect state politics and politicians as Louisiana struggles to regain its footing in the New South. Critic Reviews: "An expert has stepped up to get behind the tired verbiage and pinpoint why Louisiana politics is so different." (Chattanooga Times Free Press)

Author: Norman Mailer Narrator: Norman Mailer Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war. Why Are We at War? returns Mailer to the gravity of the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send soldiers there to die. First published in the early days of the Iraq War, Why Are We at War? is an explosive argument about the American quest for empire that still carries weight today. Scrutinizing the Bush administration's words and actions, Mailer unleashes his trademark moral rigor: "Because democracy is noble, it is always endangered.... To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to encourage more fascism at home and abroad."

Byrne was a member of the uniformed division of the Secret Service during the Clinton administration in the 1990s. He was stationed outside the door of the Oval Office and was able to closely observe Bill and Hillary Clinton. His experiences showed him that the Clintons were unfit for high office.

He struggled with dyslexia but overcame his disability to enlist in the Air Force Security Police in 1982. He discovered he had a talent for remaining calm under pressure and for using firearms. He left the military in 1986 to work assembling aircraft for Boeing in Pennsylvania. Byrne entered the Secret Service in 1991. He admired President George H.W.

Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee for president, is a crook who entered politics for personal gain. As such, she is the natural representative of the corrupt Democratic Party. Some argue that Thomas Jefferson was the founder of the Democratic Party. In reality, the modern Democratic Party and its history of plunder began with Andrew Jackson's presidency in 1829. Jackson was a military general before taking office. During his military career, he forced Native Americans off their land and then seized it to enrich himself and his cronies. The use of government power for personal enrichment is a quintessential Democratic tactic. Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Title: Election Attitude Subtitle: How Internet Voting Leads to a Stronger Democracy Author: John R. Patrick Narrator: Paul C. Nixon Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-16 Publisher: Attitude LLC Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The upcoming Presidential election will be pivotal in determining our country's future for years to come. The race is intensifying, but our antiquated voting system may not be able to accurately count all the votes. Millions of military and other overseas voters will be dependent on the postal system to vote. Millions of votes in past elections went uncounted. The United States ranks number 31 out of the leading 34 developed countries in voter participation. One of the reasons for the low turnout is our out-of-date system for registration and voting. Physically going to a polling place is an old fashioned idea to millennials. Election Attitude: How Internet Voting Leads to a Stronger Democracy, is an eye-opening and thought-provoking book which explores how we register and vote in America. Voting is mostly done with out-of-date machines running out-of-date software. After the voting debacle of 2000, thousands of voting jurisdictions across America replaced their voting machines with the latest technology available. Now that equipment is nearly 15 years old. Many Americans are asking why we cannot vote on the Internet. To his surprise, Dr. John R. Patrick discovered anti-Internet voting activists have convinced political leaders and election officials the Internet is not good enough for voting. Election Attitude debunks this concern with an in-depth discussion about Internet security, authentication, privacy, verifiability, and other challenges to online voting. Election Attitude paints a positive vision for how solutions can be developed to bring voting into the modern era.

They murdered Barack Obama and replaced him with an automaton. They murdered Hillary Clinton and replaced her with a Jesuit clone. Hillary's running mate in the 2016 US Presidential election is a Jesuit. Donald Trump, like Abraham Lincoln, is up against the Jesuit-controlled establishment in both major political parties in the US. Jesuits controlled Bill Clinton. Jesuits controlled George W. Bush. Jesuits murdered Barack Obama and have corrupted his automaton (android) and frequently use a Barack Obama Jesuit clone to make appearances. Donald Trump, like Lincoln, is surrounded by Jesuits, even in his own party. Let us pray and hope, that the real Donald Trump will emerge victorious against the Jesuit Empire.

The PDB is a document with some of the tightest access controls in the world. Prior to Harry Truman's presidency, presidents generally were not the primary intended audience of intelligence analysis, and they tended to limit intelligence collection operations even during World War I. The production of analysis for audiences outside the Central Intelligence Agency's predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services, began with Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration during World War II. When Roosevelt died in office, Truman assumed the presidency. Truman struggled to overcome a significant gap in his understanding of national security intelligence and the US development of atomic bombs. Truman founded the Central Intelligence Group and hired the first director of central intelligence.... Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Wir leben in einem Wirtschaftsfeudalismus, der mit freier oder sozialer Marktwirtschaft nichts zu tun hat. Und die Innovationen, die uns bei der Lösung wirklich wichtiger Probleme weiterbringen, bleiben aus. Wie kann es sein, dass vom Steuerzahler finanzierte technologische Entwicklung private Unternehmen reich macht, selbst wenn diese gegen das Gemeinwohl arbeiten? Wir müssen Talent und echte Leistung belohnen und Gründer mit guten Ideen ungeachtet ihrer Herkunft fördern, sagt die Autorin. Mit glasklarer Analyse und konkreten Vorschlägen eröffnet sie die politische Diskussion über neue Eigentumsformen und zeigt, wie eine innovative und gerechte Wirtschaft aussehen kann. ©2016 Campus Verlag (P)2016 ABOD Verlag

Rockefeller Narrator: E. Jonathan Kessler Format: Unabridged Length: 54 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-16 Publisher: J.D. Rockefeller Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The sudden emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, most commonly known as ISIS, is one of the most profound and alarming phenomena in the Middle East, which is awash in sheer violence. On this account there is no doubt that ISIS is one of the most powerful jihadist groups in the modern world. This group brings a tremendous level of fear not only in the Middle East but also in other parts of the world. Being a terrorist-insurgent group, the forces of ISIS have seized total control of Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq. The list of ISIS nightmarish deeds is indeed chilling. This includes the brutal persecution of native Christian people in Iraq and Syria, the nightmarish genocide of the Yazidi people in Iraq, rape, beheadings, crucifixions, forced conversions, and the massive execution of the Syrian tribe that failed to resist its conquest.

Bring Back the Bureaucrats Audiobook by John DiIulio Jr.

Title: Bring Back the Bureaucrats Subtitle: Why More Federal Workers Will Lead to Better (and Smaller!) Government (New Threats to Freedom) Author: John DiIulio Jr. Narrator: Joel Richards Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In Bring Back the Bureaucrats, John J. DiIulio, Jr., one of America's most respected political scientists and an adviser to presidents in both parties, summons the facts and statistics to show us how America's big government actually works and why reforms that include adding a million more people to the federal workforce by 2035 might actually help to slow government's growth while improving its performance. Bring Back the Bureaucrats tells us what our elected leaders won't: There simply are not enough federal workers to do work that's critical to our democracy. The lack of enough competent, well-trained federal civil servants figured in the failed federal response to Hurricane Katrina and in the troubled launch of the Obamacare health exchanges. Bring Back the Bureaucrats is further distinguished by the presence of E. J. Dionne, Jr. and Charles Murray, two of the most astute voices from the political left and right. The book is published by Templeton Press. Critic Reviews: "A brisk, lively polemic that surprisingly calls, on conservative grounds, for an enormous increase in the federal civil service.... " (American Prospect) "An eye-opening account of the hollowing out of American government. DiIulio, an expert on public administration at the University of Pennsylvania, points out that the US has fewer full-time federal officials than it did in 1960, while the amount of money they dispense has increased fivefold. In their place is a legion of for-profit contractors and non-profit NGOs with highly mixed motives, about which we know very little." (Financial Times) "A reproof to everyone who hates government or loves government without understanding what it does - which covers most of the American ideological spectrum." (Washington Post)

David Harris Narrator: Aaron Lade Format: Unabridged Length: 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-15 Publisher: L. David Harris Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The gun debate is a polarizing one in the US, in which both sides have strong proponents arguing about the legitimacy and the benefits to society of their opinion. Each side can claim scientific research and studies to back their claims, and data is available to prove their arguments. Luckily, we live in a democratic country, and if the general population generally holds a majority opinion, this may eventually be reflected in our laws; but until the American population becomes less divided about the issue, it seems the stalemate for gun control laws will continue. The debate evokes so many emotions and fears that sometimes people lose their capability of listening to the other argument, digging in dogmatically in their position. Both parties constantly bring the Founding Fathers to mind; yet if they were alive today, there is a strong possibility that like the American population, they too would be divided in their opinions about gun control. You be the judge as the debate rages on.

Right to DREAM Audiobook by William A. Schwab

Schwab Narrator: Robert J. Eckrich Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 11-24-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The DREAM Act, bipartisan legislation first introduced in Congress in 2001, would provide conditional residency for undocumented youth brought to the United States as children. It recognizes that undocumented youth have done nothing wrong and that they should be allowed to work, to go to school, and to travel. Congress has failed to pass the DREAM Act, and 14 states have filled the gap by implementing their own laws and policies that provide educational benefits to undocumented students. Right to DREAM makes a compelling argument for the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform. William A. Schwab explores the key issues surrounding this legislation: What are the issues that divide? What do the proponents and opponents of the DREAM Act argue? Is there a middle ground? Is compromise possible? Schwab explains the legal issues surrounding the education of immigrant children, who immigrates and why, how four waves of immigration have shaped the nation, the effects of immigrants on the US economy and culture, and the process of becoming an American. He weaves personal stories of undocumented youth throughout the book and advocates for the economic, political, and social benefits of the DREAM Act that would bring undocumented youth out of the shadows and into the mainstream of society. The book is published by The University of Arkansas Press. Critic Reviews: "William Schwab presents a compelling and timely argument for the passage of the DREAM Act and pushes us all to consider the very real possibility of winning broader immigration reform. By presenting undeniable evidence of the positive economic contributions undocumented immigrants make to American society, along with compelling stories of the challenges and triumphs of undocumented young people, Schwab successfully debunks common misconceptions promoted by anti-immigrant groups." (Paulina Gonzalez, executive director of Strategic Actions for a Just Economy)

Title: Mayor Rob Ford: Uncontrollable Subtitle: How I Tried to Help the World's Most Notorious Mayor Author: Mark Towhey, Johanna Schneller Narrator: Matthew Josdal Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In February 2013, Toronto's former mayor, Rob Ford, was caught on video smoking crack cocaine. Weeks later, he was accused of groping a campaign rival; had to leave a gala for being too intoxicated; and was fired as the coach of a high school football team. The events were part of a stream of Rob Ford "mishaps", which include a DUI; accusations of domestic violence; a trial where the Toronto City Council stripped him of his powers; even accusations of murder. Through it all, Ford's former chief of staff, Mark Towhey, stood by his side. Towhey was part of Ford's inner circle; he'd joined Ford's mayoral campaign in 2010 and quickly became one of his closest advisors. He responded to media questions regarding Ford's drug and alcohol additions, his anger management problems, and, of course, the video of Ford smoking crack. In May 2013, Mark Towhey had a confidential conversation with Ford. There has been much speculation about this conversation, but thus far the public knows only two words from that conversation: Towhey told Ford to "get help." They also know what happened next - Towhey was fired. In Mayor Rob Ford: Uncontrollable, Towhey recounts the conversation and shares what Ford was like behind the scenes. This is a candid insider account of working with Ford, covering for him, respecting his strengths, and managing his weaknesses. It will release after Ford has dropped out of the mayoral election, as he battles health problems, and as the world waits to see what this larger-than-life personality does next.

The Global Village Myth Audiobook by Patrick Porter

Title: The Global Village Myth Subtitle: Distance, War, and the Limits of Power Author: Patrick Porter Narrator: Mark D. Mickelson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: According to security elites, revolutions in information, transport, and weapons technologies have shrunk the world, leaving the United States and its allies more vulnerable than ever to violent threats like terrorism or cyberwar. As a result, they practice responses driven by fear: theories of falling dominoes, hysteria in place of sober debate, and an embrace of preemptive war to tame a chaotic world. Patrick Porter challenges these ideas. In The Global Village Myth, he disputes globalism's claims and the outcomes that so often waste blood and treasure in the pursuit of an unattainable "total" security. Porter reexamines the notion of the endangered global village by examining Al-Qaeda's global guerilla movement, military tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and drones and cyberwar, two technologies often used by globalists to support their views. His critique exposes the folly of disastrous wars and the loss of civil liberties resulting from the globalist enterprise. Showing that technology expands rather than shrinks strategic space, Porter offers an alternative outlook to lead policymakers toward more sensible responses - and a wiser, more sustainable grand strategy.

Whatsoever Things Are True Audiobook by Matthew Shaer

Title: Whatsoever Things Are True Author: Matthew Shaer Narrator: Matthew Shaer Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-15 Publisher: The Atavist Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In August 1982, a young couple was murdered in a Chicago park. Months away from their wedding, Jerry Hillard and Marilyn Green were shot to death on the bleachers overlooking a pool on the South Side of the city. A year later, Anthony Porter, a local man with a checkered past, was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to death. Fifty hours before his execution, Porter was freed, thanks to an investigation by David Protess and his students at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. The students found new witnesses to the crime and brought attention to Alstory Simon, an overlooked suspect, who confessed to the murders. Porter's exoneration was a watershed moment in Illinois; the case helped abolish the death penalty in the state. And then, 15 years later, Simon himself was released from prison, the charges against him vacated. Protess and his team are now the subjects of a lawsuit alleging that they conspired to imprison an innocent man - and release a killer. Whatsoever Things Are True is the result of Matthew Shaer's 10-month long investigation into the crime and its aftermath, based on thousands of pages of court documents and interviews with nearly a hundred participants, some of whom have never spoken to the press. In this extraordinary work, Shaer unravels a decades-old mystery that raises questions not only about America's criminal justice system, but about the elusive nature of justice.

Forty-three percent of Americans now identify as Independents. Many of them are right of center and used to be Republicans. In No Hope, former Republican Jimmy LaSalvia, cofounder of GOProud, which was one of the highest-profile gay political organizations, will share what he did to ignite change in the Republican Party. But ultimately LaSalvia determined there was no hope that conservatives would evolve on important cultural issues - revealing the party as an untenable coalition that includes the tolerance of bigotry. No Hope chronicles Jimmy's evolution from team-player Republican to free-thinking Independent and includes entertaining stories and anecdotes about some of the biggest names in politics today, including Donald Trump, Ann Coulter, Roger Ailes, Reince Priebus, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, and others. No Hope also exposes some of the ugliest antigay operators in Washington, DC. In early 2014, Jimmy announced his resignation from the Republican Party and changed his voter registration to join the new majority of Independent voters, receiving significant media attention. Now, in No Hope, he tells all and, in the most entertaining outing in political book history, breaks apart the current two-party system to energize democracy.

Was Putin antreibt, warum er die Konfrontation mit dem Westen sucht und den Rückfall in den Kalten Krieg in Kauf nimmt, ist vielen ein Rätsel. Nicht Michail Gorbatschow. Mit einzigartiger Kennerschaft beschreibt er die Entstehung des "Systems Putin" und die Absichten dieses Mannes. Unverblümt rechnet er mit Putin ab. Dieser zerstöre um seiner eigenen Macht willen die Errungenschaften der Perestroika in Russland und errichte ein System ohne Zukunft. Deshalb fordert Gorbatschow ein neues politisches System für Russland, und er mahnt den Westen, nicht mit dem Feuer zu spielen. Ein wichtiges, ein notwendiges Hörbuch, das neue Blickwinkel eröffnet - und das politische Vermächtnis des großen Mannes, der die deutsche Einheit mitermöglichte. ©2015 Bastei Lübbe (P)2015 Lübbe Audio

He shows how Stephen Harper's single-minded pursuit of big oil and the tar sands, at a time when the world must take dramatic action to arrest climate change, has inflicted enormous damage on our country and international reputation. He contends that Harper rose to power with an agenda so contrary to Canadian principles and values that the only way he could pursue it was through a takeover of Canadian democracy. Mel Hurtig is the legendary Edmonton bookseller, publisher, and creator of The Canadian Encyclopedia. He became a political activist, then an author in 1991 with his huge best seller The Betrayal of Canada. He is also the author of Pay the Rent or Feed the Kids, The Vanishing Country, Rushing to Armageddon and The Truth About Canada. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and has received many honorary degrees among other honors.

Yield for Oncoming Greatness (YFOG): Capping Capitalism Audiobook by Matt N Tabrizi

Title: Yield for Oncoming Greatness (YFOG): Capping Capitalism Author: Matt N Tabrizi Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-15 Publisher: Thinking Hat Press Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The American system is broken: our great nation has become corrupt, inefficient, and mired in ideological debate. The United States may be a global superpower, but every day we fail our own citizens. Our children do not learn what they need to in order to compete in the job market; our adults battle mental illness and addiction, and are imprisoned at staggering rates; and our elderly struggle for financial security and affordable healthcare. We are more often at war with other nations than not. We work harder and harder but seem to get less and less in return. Meanwhile, politicians, the media, and the super-rich hold our tremendous potential hostage by taking advantage of our democratic system, divisive politics, and unwillingness to compromise. Now more than ever, the country desperately needs a new vision to restore it to its former glory and launch it into the next century. Entrepreneur Matt Tabrizi shares such a vision in Yield for Oncoming Greatness, a book that analyzes America's problems and offers a stimulating plan for solving them. Audaciously straightforward and refreshingly pragmatic, this book takes a problem-solving approach to a myriad of issues troubling our nation and lifts the curtain of power to expose those abusing the mechanisms of government and the very system of capitalism for their own gain. Based on the belief that economic success must be achieved along with social justice, Tabrizi's book lays out ways to bring real change to America and improve our lives and our children's, addressing topics such as illicit drugs, social security, cancer, education, healthcare, elections, and the economy. Only someone with the author's experience - as a businessman, an expert in operations, and an immigrant who found success, and a home, in America - could have written this clear-eyed, common-sense, and hopeful prescription for the truly great nation we can still become.

Muss man nicht erst einmal etwas verstehen, bevor man es beurteilen kann? Gabriele Krone-Schmalz bietet in diesem Hörbuch eine Orientierungshilfe für all jene, denen das gegenwärtig in den Medien vorherrschende Russlandbild zu einseitig ist. Antirussische Vorbehalte haben in Deutschland eine lange Tradition und sind in zwei Weltkriegen verfestigt worden. Auch in der Ukraine-Krise lässt sich ihre Wirksamkeit beobachten. Tatsächlich ist aber nicht nur das Verhältnis zwischen Russland, dem Westen und der Ukraine vielschichtiger, als es der Medien-Mainstream suggeriert, sondern auch die russische Geschichte seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges. Demokratie und Menschenrechte verbreiten - wer möchte das nicht. Es lässt sich aber sehr wohl über das Tempo und über die Methoden streiten. Und es lässt sich fragen, welche Interessen der Westen unter dem Deckmantel einer Menschenrechtsrhetorik verfolgt. >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich. ©2015 Verlag C.H. Beck oHG (P)2015 Audible GmbH Kritik Bewertungen: Es lohnt sich, Gabriele Krone-Schmalz' Worten Gehör zu schenken. Sie betreibt einen integren Journalismus, ohne den Transparenz (Glasnost) und Demokratie nicht existieren können. -- Michail Gorbatschow Wer bereit ist, Russland nicht bloß als Bären zu betrachten, der von seinem Meister am Nasenring durch die internationale Manege geführt wird, kann aus ihrem Buch eine Menge lernen. -- Franziska Augstein, Süddeutsche Zeitung

Mutz Narrator: Julie McKay Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Americans are disgusted with watching politicians screaming and yelling at one another on television. But does all the noise really make a difference? Drawing on numerous studies, Diana Mutz provides the first comprehensive look at the consequences of in-your-face politics. Her book contradicts the conventional wisdom by documenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of in-your-face media. "In-your-face" politics refers to both the level of incivility and the up-close and personal way that we experience political conflict on television. Just as actual physical closeness intensifies people's emotional reactions to others, the appearance of closeness on a video screen has similar effects. We tend to keep our distance from those with whom we disagree. Modern media, however, puts those we dislike in our faces in a way that intensifies our negative reactions. Mutz finds that incivility is particularly detrimental to facilitating respect for oppositional political viewpoints and to citizens' levels of trust in politicians and the political process. On the positive side, incivility and close-up camera perspectives contribute to making politics more physiologically arousing and entertaining to viewers. This encourages more attention to political programs, stimulates recall of the content, and encourages people to relay content to others. In the end, In-Your-Face Politics demonstrates why political incivility is not easily dismissed as a disservice to democracy - it may even be a necessity in an age with so much competition for citizens' attention.

As a businessman he has been unprecedentedly successful for a former public servant, with a large property portfolio and an estimated GBP80 million of earnings accrued in just a few short years. But how has he managed to achieve this? Being an ex-prime minister comes with certain advantages, and besides his excellent state pension and twenty-four-hour security team, Blair enjoys the best contacts that money can buy - as do those willing to pay him for access to those contacts. Consequently Tony Blair Associates' clients can be found around the world and include the controversial presidents of Kazakhstan and Burma. There is also Blair's role as special envoy in the Middle East. While his record as a peacemaker is in doubt, the position has brought him into contact with a variety of oil-rich potentates in the region who now number among his most profitable clients. Blair Inc.: The Man Behind the Mask takes a close look at the complex financial structures in Blair's world. From the many layers of tax liability to the multiple conflicts of interest produced by his increasing web of relationships, this book exposes the private dealings of this very public figure.

After the nation's financial crisis led Congress to unprecedented economic intervention, The Washington Post began an investigation that pierced the secrecy of the deeply flawed financial disclosure system that governs the 535 men and women who draft the nation's laws. Members of Congress directed millions of dollars to infrastructure projects near their residences and businesses, in some cases paving roads in front of their houses. They made major trades in the stocks of companies pressing them for legislation. They wrote laws favoring industries in which they were invested. They sponsored bills on which their own family members were paid to lobby. All of it is legal under the rules Congress has written for itself. Democracy Inc. shows the consequences of this system.

But in many ways, Washington changed Obama more than Obama changed Washington. This is the story of how the idealist of the 2008 campaign evolved into a hard-nosed pragmatist, shelving his promise of a new kind of politics to fight increasingly partisan budget battles and run a bare-knuckles re-election campaign. Through a series of articles and photographs published by The Washington Post, this audiobook outlines the change in his political personality during his four years in office, and describes his engagement with some of the most challenging issues he confronted during his time in office - and what his approach may mean for a second term should he win in November.

The Rise of the American Corporate Security State Audiobook by Beatrice Edwards

Title: The Rise of the American Corporate Security State Subtitle: Six Reasons to Be Afraid Author: Beatrice Edwards Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In the United States today we have good reasons to be afraid. Our Bill of Rights is no more. It has been rendered pointless by heavy surveillance of average citizens, political persecution of dissenters, and the potential of indefinite detention now codified into law. Our democracy and freedoms are impaired daily by government control of information, systemic financial corruption, unfettered corporate influence in our elections, and by corporate-controlled international institutions. The Constitution of The United States that has shielded us for more than 200 years from the tentacles of oppressive government and the stranglehold of private wealth becomes more meaningless with each new act of corporate-ocracy. Behind a thinning veneer of democracy, the Corporate Security State is tipping the balance between the self-interest of a governing corporate elite and the rights of the people to freedom, safety and fairness. The consequences of these trends and conditions are devastating. We are submerged in endless war, and the wealth produced by and in the United States skews upward in greater concentrations every year. The middle class is under financial attack, as Washington prepares to loot Social Security and Medicare to finance the insatiable war-making and profit-taking. Repression descends on a people slowly at first, but then crushes quickly, silencing dissent. According to the author of The Rise of the American Corporate Security State, Beatrice Edwards, our task now is to recognize the real reasons to be afraid in 21st century America, and address them. Our early steps in the right direction may be small ones, but they are important. They are based on the principle that we, as Americans, have a right to know what our government is doing and to speak openly about it. Creeping censorship, secret courts, clandestine corporate control are all anathema to democratic practices and must be corrected now, before this last chance to redeem our rights is lost.

Title: Who Shot Ahmed Subtitle: A Mystery Unravels in Bahrain's Botched Arab Spring Author: Elizabeth Dickinson Narrator: Derek Shetterly Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Who Shot Ahmed? recounts the murder of a 22-year-old videographer, killed in cold blood in the dead of night at the height of Bahrains Arab Spring revolution. On a small island Kingdom swirling with political, economic, and sectarian tensions, Ahmeds murder epitomized everything that had gone wrong since 2011, when pro-democracy protesters took to the streets in droves. Drawing on dozens of testimonies, journalist Elizabeth Dickinson traces the tale of Ahmeds death and his familys fearless quest for justice. Darting between narratives and delving into characters, it is a tale of a life lost and the great powers - from Washington to London, and Riyadh to Manama - that did nothing to stop the crisis. Dickinson has a deep knowledge of the region, but she brings a story from a foreign land straight back home: Ahmed could be any of our sons. Elizabeth Dickinson is an American journalist based in Abu Dhabi. Reporting from five continents, she has served as assistant managing editor at Foreign Policy magazine, Nigeria correspondent for The Economist, as well as contributing editor at World Affairs and correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor. Her work has additionally appeared in The National, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Washington Monthly, The Atlantic, and The New Republic.

L'esprit du capitalisme Livre Audio par Max Weber

Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 Titre: L'esprit du capitalisme Auteur: Max Weber Narrateur: Rémi Pous Format: Abridged Durée: 59 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 02-06-14 Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Résumé de l'éditeur: L'Éthique protestante et l'esprit du capitalisme, de Max Weber, est une des œuvres fondatrices de la sociologie moderne. À partir du constat de l'inégalité sociale entre protestants et catholiques en Allemagne, Weber émet des hypothèses qui expliqueraient ces différences. D'après Weber, la réforme protestante est à l'origine de l'éthique du travail du capitalisme. Max Weber (1864-1920) est un économiste allemand et fondateur de la sociologie. Il est très connu pour sa théorie de l'éthique protestante, reliant le protestantisme au capitalisme, dans L'éthique protestante et l'esprit du capitalisme. Max Weber fait l'objet d'une redécouverte en France depuis quelques années, redécouverte qui s'opère essentiellement à travers Le Savant et le politique. "La politique, c'est ce qui est faisable". Outre son travail de recherche, Weber est engagé dans l'action politique. Il est notamment invité à contribuer à la rédaction de la Constitution de la République de Weimar en 1919. © Domaine Public (P)2013 Compagnie du Savoir

Title: The Conservative Collection Subtitle: A Guide to History and Politics in Modern America Author: Greg Lacey Narrator: Brian McGovern Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-27-13 Publisher: LLF Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The Conservative Collection reinforces fundamental holdings of the Right. A strong, free, and thriving America requires us to value our founding principles and apply them in a modern world. Yet constant assaults on the very philosophies that birthed American exceptionalism jeopardize our sustained superiority. It therefore falls upon Conservatives to reenergize, inform, and strengthen the citizenry with the truths and successes stemming from conservatism. We need a strong America, one which will continue to be the home of liberty and prosperity. In The Conservative Collection, eleven areas of conservative concern are discussed: Conservative History, Individual Liberty, The Legislature, The Executive, The Judiciary, Economic Strength, Educational Strength, Military Strength, Personal Responsibility, International Leadership, and Moving America Forward. In our unique nation of states, built upon the pillars of liberty and opportunity, we are responsible for protecting the blessings of freedom and ensuring our future welfare. The Conservative Collection looks to aid others in achieving those most noble duties. A series of short essays complete this work, divided between the audiobook's eleven sections. Not only does The Conservative Collection focus significant attention toward government and politics but also on character development and individual maturity. All Americans (Conservative or otherwise) must be leaders in a turbulent world - something not to be accomplished without a sense of purpose and principle.

Title: At the Tea Party Subtitle: The Wing Nuts, Whack Jobs and Whitey-whiteness of the New Republican Right - And Why We Should Take it Seriously Author: Laura Flanders (editor) Narrator: Julie Eickhoff Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In the wake of the November 2011 elections, the Tea Party has gone from a well-funded, media-savvy fringe group to become the new kids in Congress. Their presence is unpredictable and potentially explosive. Tea partiers Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Dan Coats now sit in the Senate alongside the GOP's new poster boy, Marco Rubio. In total, some 30 Tea Party supporters won seats in Congress. Their party is evidently here to stay - but what exactly does that mean for the future of the country? At the Tea Party presents a lively and informed expose of this explosive new force in American politics. It doesnt paint a pretty picture. You will come to understand the coalition of anti-abortion, pro-gun advocates who comprise the tea parties' shock troops. You will discover what MSNBC contributor Melissa Harris-Lacewell and Going Rouge editors Rich Kim and Betsy Reed have to say about the racism, homophobia, and sexism that fuels the Tea Party fizz. You will follow the money that flowed from the shadowy organizations of the super-rich to pay for the ads that won the races. You will learn about the unscrupulous gold-peddlers who were virtually the sole underwriters of Glenn Beck's Fox News show. And you will get the up-close-and-personal scoop on the movement's biggest stars - Sarah from Wasilla and the mercurial crying clown Glenn Beck. With contributions from a wide range of leading experts, At the Tea Party sorts the facts from the frenzy. Most importantly, it looks forward. Will the tea partiers in Congress launch a civil war within the Republican Party? Could they take over the GOP and end up running the country? And what role can the Left play in preventing the tea partiers from remaking America in their own fervid image? Combining investigative zeal; smart, hard facts; and a leavening of sharp wit and political passion, At the Tea Party stands out among books on the Tea Party phenomenon as an extraordinary listen for anyone interested in the turbulent future of American politics. Editorial Reviews: The reactionary ranting of the Tea Party is nothing to laugh about, as this once goofy-sounding far-right faction replete with racism, sexism, and homophobia has taken hold of the American political landscape. Edited by journalist Laura Flanders and performed by Julie Eickhoff with sincerity and conviction, At The Tea Party is an energetic exposé of the attitudes and tactics of this dangerous cabal that has taken control of the Republican party. Featuring contributions from a wide range of noted experts, this audiobook will provoke alarmed discussion amongst anyone concerned about America's future.

Title: Down in the Chapel Subtitle: Religious Life in an American Prison Author: Joshua Dubler Narrator: Rodney Gardiner Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Here is a bold and provocative interpretation of one of the most religiously vibrant places in America - a state penitentiary. Baraka, Al, Teddy, and Sayyid - four black men from South Philadelphia, two Christians and two Muslims - are serving life at Pennsylvanias maximum-security Graterford Prison. All of them work in Graterfords chapel, a place that is at once a sanctuary for religious contemplation and an arena for disputing the works of God and man. Day in, day out, everything is, in its twisted way, rather ordinary. And then one of them disappears Down in the Chapel tells the story of one week at Graterford Prison. We learn how the men at Graterford pass their time, care for themselves, and commune with their makers. We observe a variety of Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, and others at prayer and study and song. And we listen as an interloping scholar of religion tries to make sense of it all. When prisoners turn to God, they are often scorned as con artists who fake their piety, or pitied as wretches who cling to faith because faith is all they have left. Joshua Dubler goes beyond these stereotypes to show the religious life of a prison in all its complexity. One part prison procedural, one part philosophical investigation, Down in the Chapel explores the many uses prisoners make of their religions and weighs the circumstances that make these uses possible. Gritty and visceral, meditative and searching, it is an essential study of American religion in the age of mass incarceration.

Murder, mayhem and conspiracy at the highest level of government is something that is dismissed by many. But, you cannot come away from this audiobook without garnering a new mistrust of your government, especially with regard to foreign policy decisions that have killed innocent people and that could ultimately determine the fate of the world. This audiobook exposes the neocon crazies, what make them this way, and why you need to understand that they are the most dangerous people in the world. If you can't understand the science behind false flags, you have the opportunity to look into the minds of neocons as a way to understand their evil deeds. They have left a trail of hints and suggestions that point to their culpability in fostering attacks upon U.S. citizens. They have made threats against Russia couched in the form of defense. If you are for national security and you want your grandchildren to live and prosper, you can't support the neocon crazies.

Title: Obama's Four Horsemen Subtitle: The Disasters Unleashed by Obama's Reelection Author: David Harsanyi Narrator: Alpha Trivette Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Conquest, Famine, War, Death: the four horsemen are coming, in the form of the national debt, widespread dependence on government, turmoil in the Middle East, and the expansion of the bureaucratic state. In Obamas Four Horsemen, syndicated columnist David Harsanyi takes a provocative look at how the Obama Administration allowed four big problems to mushroom into looming disasters we can no longer avoid or postpone. In his famous conversational, fact-driven, and humorous tone, Harsanyi argues that President Obamas handling of both domestic and foreign crises has set the stage for a disaster of Biblical proportions. Under Obama, America has become a land of more dependence, more hand-outs, more federal programs, and more government agencies. The great danger is that Americans have gotten used to it. Many people today expect, as a matter of fact, that the government will hand them health insurance, student loans, birth control, and anything else they might need or desire while they are increasingly numb to the pernicious creep of the bureaucratic state and the alarming escalation of unsustainable spending and debt. Meanwhile, powerful forces abroad seek to destroy American and Western culture while Obama has sat on his thumbs and looked the other way, tossing out politically correct platitudes when asked about his response to their open threats and aggression. America is facing a time of great upheaval, domestic and global. Obamas Four Horseman is a provocative exposé on how we got here, and a chilling prediction of whats to come. Editorial Reviews: Wellness coach Pamela M. Smith outlines a week-by-week, five-point plan for energy and weight management. Elizabeth Rodgers gives a calming confident reading to Smiths seven-week-to-peak-function, non-dieting solution. Eating small, balanced meal portions - according to nutritionist-to-celebrities Smith - not starving or manipulating the body, leads to looking and feeling ones best. It is not so much what you eat, but how and when you work most closely with your body that determines results. In her own words, for your health, "you dont need to learn how to diet, you need to learn how to eat in healthy ways".

Binder, Kate Wood Narrator: Erin Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Conservative pundits allege that the pervasive liberalism of America's colleges and universities has detrimental effects on undergraduates, most particularly right-leaning ones. Yet not enough attention has actually been paid to young conservatives to test these claims - until now. In Becoming Right, Amy Binder and Kate Wood carefully explore who conservative students are, and how their beliefs and political activism relate to their university experiences. Which parts of conservatism do these students identify with? How do their political identities evolve on campus? And what do their educational experiences portend for their own futures - and for the future of American conservatism? Becoming Right demonstrates the power that campus culture has in developing students' conservative political styles and shows that young conservatives are made, not born. Focusing on two universities - "Eastern Elite" and "Western Public" - Binder and Wood discover that what is acceptable, or even celebrated, political speech and action on one campus might be unthinkable on another. Right-leaning students quickly learn the styles of conservatism that are appropriate for their schools. Though they might be expected to simply plug into the national conservative narrative - via media from Fox News to Facebook - college conservatives actually enact their politics in starkly different ways. Rich in interviews and insight, Becoming Right illustrates that the diverse conservative movement evolving among today's college students holds important implications for the direction of American politics.

Defending the Filibuster Audiobook by Richard A. Arenberg, Robert B. Dove

Arenberg, Robert B. Dove Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 03-19-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Recent legislative battles over healthcare reform, the federal budget, and other prominent issues have given rise to widespread demands for the abolition or reform of the filibuster in the US Senate. Critics argue that members' traditional rights of unlimited debate and amendment have led to paralyzing requirements for supermajorities and destructive parliamentary tactics such as secret holds. In Defending the Filibuster, a veteran Senate aide and a former Senate Parliamentarian maintain that the filibuster is fundamental to the character of the Senate. They contend that the filibuster protects the rights of the minority in American politics, assures stability and deliberation in government, and helps to preserve constitutional principles of checks and balances and separation of powers. Richard A. Arenberg and Robert B. Dove provide an instructive historical overview of the development of Senate rules, define and describe related procedures and tactics, examine cases related to specific pieces of legislation, and consider current proposals to end the filibuster or enact other reforms. Arguing passionately in favor of retaining the filibuster, they offer a stimulating assessment of the issues surrounding current debates on this contentious issue. Critic Reviews: During my years in the Senate, I learned that you should never get involved in a legislative fight without Bob Dove's advice on counsel. Nobody knows more about the rules and history of the Senate than he does. Defending the Filibuster: Soul of the Senate should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand one of the hallmarks of our democracy. (Bob Dole, former United States Senator ) In this excellent volume, two extraordinarily qualified Senate veterans explain and defend, with clarity and impressive research, the Senate filibuster. With their deep understanding of, and respect for, the institution of the Senate, they point to the need to protect minority rights and to build consensus - and they propose evolutionary reforms to reduce filibuster abuse. This book deserves to be read and considered carefully by all who respect, and want to understand better, the world's greatest deliberative body. (Lee H. Hamilton, former US Representative and Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University) Regardless of whether you agree with [the authors'] conclusions, the book will be a must read for anyone who wants to be a part of the debate about how to improve the function of the Senate. - Roll Call An historically grounded and eloquent defense of the Senate's tradition of protecting minority views by allowing extended debate until sixty Senators vote to end it. U.S. Senator Carl Levin

Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-13 Publisher: Darren Kirby Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Have we learned nothing from MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech? "There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." (Booker T. Washington) The Left continues to use race as a dividing issue in national politics, but is it really as bad as they portray? Join author D. Lee as he shows just how far the Left will go in it's use of racial language to stir up the American public. Outrageous, informative, and enlightening, you will learn the truth about how race-baiting has become a "way of life" for the Left, even going so far as to manufacture issues that don't even exist.

Spin Masters Audiobook by David Freddoso

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:02:54 +0000

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Spin Masters Subtitle: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama Author: David Freddoso Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The biggest story of the election was how the media ignored the biggest story of the election. Amid all the breathless coverage of a nonexistent war on women, there was little or no coverage of Obama's war on the economy - how, for instance, part-time work is replacing full-time work, how low-wage jobs are replacing high-wage ones, how for Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 there are fewer jobs today than there were when the recession officially ended in 2009, and fewer, in fact, than at any time since mid-1997. The downsizing of the American economy wasn't the only story the media missed - or suppressed - there was also the unraveling of Obama's foreign policy and the deadly scandals at home (Fast and Furious) and abroad (the terrorist attack that killed the American ambassador at Benghazi). But instead of serious, substantive journalism, the media reported ad nauseam on trifles (Big Bird), Republican-baiting hysteria (how everything the Republicans said was allegedly "racial code"), and distortions of Romney's remarks (such as the "47 percent" comment). The media dropped the ball in covering the 2012 election, says David Freddoso, editorial page editor oftheWashington Examiner, and in doing so, the media failed in their responsibility to keep politicians honest and the public well-informed. Freddoso, aNew York Timesbest-selling author and former congressional reporter forNational Review, fills this volume not only with outrageous examples of media bias but also with dozens of real stories that genuinely inquisitive reporters should have relished but that the overwhelmingly liberal press didn't even bother to cover. Full of the news you didn't hear about in 2012, David Freddoso'sSpin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obamawill be the most provocative and accurate take of just how Barack Obama managed to get reelected amid the worst economic times since at least the 1970s - and how the media helped him do it. Critic Reviews: "Spin Mastersshows just how far to the left the news media have lurched. There are other ways to study media bias, but Freddoso's book is a lot more fun than poring through the first forty-two Gail Collins columns in TheNew York Timesabout Mitt Romney driving with a dog on the roof of his car. (The dog liked it!)" (Ann Coulter) "David Freddoso's terrific new bookSpin Mastersdocuments more than routine media bias - though he has plenty of outrageous examples of that. It's about how the media ignored or buried the big stories - like how Obama has hollowed out our economy or openly trampled on the Constitution - in favor of Democratic Party press releases. Freddoso reports the news you didn't hear during the election - and also shows how we can avoid falling prey to the hypocritical and absurdly partisan liberal media again." (David Limbaugh,New York Timesbest-selling author) "Media bias mostly takes the form of omission. In 2012, the media mostly omitted mention of Obamas many offenses against ethics, good government, and the truth. InSpin Masters, David Freddoso deftly tells the stories that most of the mainstream media missed because a dog on the roof of a car was more interesting than, say, an illegal military intervention in Libya or serial abuse of presidential power.

Title: The Globalist Papers Author: Samuel Avery Narrator: Andrew Mulcare Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-13 Publisher: Wetware Media Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The Globalist Papers is a case for global political unity. The nation-state remains the political paradigm of the current era even as nuclear weaponry, global communications, climate change, and the global economy make it obsolete. The Globalist Papers shows the need now for unity among the nations of the world much the same way the Federalist Papers showed the need in the 1700's for unity among the states of America. This audiobook is not limited to political history. It explores the spiritual and psychological dimensions of the transition away from nationality. Why is it more important now to be national than human, and how will it be possible for the transition to take place?

Title: The Spirit of Compromise Subtitle: Why Governing Demands It and Campaigning Undermines It Author: Amy Gutmann, Dennis Thompson Narrator: Teresa DeBerry Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: If politics is the art of the possible, then compromise is the artistry of democracy. Unless one partisan ideology holds sway over all branches of government, compromise is necessary to govern for the benefit of all citizens. A rejection of compromise biases politics in favor of the status quo, even when the rejection risks crisis. Why then is compromise so difficult in American politics today? In The Spirit of Compromise, eminent political thinkers Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson connect the rejection of compromise to the domination of campaigning over governing - the permanent campaign - in American democracy today. They show that campaigning for political office calls for a mindset that blocks compromise - standing tenaciously on principle to mobilize voters and mistrusting opponents in order to defeat them. Good government calls for an opposite cluster of attitudes and arguments - the compromising mindset - that inclines politicians to adjust their principles and to respect their opponents. It is a mindset that helps politicians appreciate and take advantage of opportunities for desirable compromise. Gutmann and Thompson explore the dynamics of these mindsets by comparing the historic compromises on tax reform under President Reagan in 1986 and health care reform under President Obama in 2010. Both compromises were difficult to deliver but only tax reform was bipartisan. Drawing lessons from these and other important compromises - and failures to compromise - in American politics, Gutmann and Thompson propose changes in our political institutions, processes, and mindsets that would encourage a better balance between campaigning and governing. Calling for greater cooperation in contemporary politics, The Spirit of Compromise will interest all who care about whether their government leaders can work together.

Komen for the Cure, the world's leading breast cancer organization, had been dealing with the backlash from pro-life conservatives because of its grants to Planned Parenthood, the world's largest abortion provider. According to Karen Handel, Komen's seniorvice president of public policy in 2011, the two organizations had mutuallyagreed to part ways amicably. But then Planned Parenthood surprisingly unleashed a media attack against Komen, waving the banner of women's health asa shield for its underlying political agenda. Public criticism against Komenintensified with damaging consequences, eventually concluding in Komen'ssurrender and Karen's resignation. In daring to walk away, Komen had unwittingly ignited a battle in which it became collateral damage in a larger election - year war between liberals and conservatives for the souls (and votes!) of women and the nation's conscience - with abortion and contraception linked as ultimate wedgeissues. What exactly went on inside this firestorm of controversy? Were the relarger forces at play? In this tell-all, highly charged account, Karen Handelbreaks the silence and finally reveals what really happened in the winter of 2011.

Inside Teaching: How Classroom Life Undermines Reform Audiobook by Mary Kennedy

Wed, 05 Sep 2012 10:03:54 +0000

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Inside Teaching: How Classroom Life Undermines Reform Author: Mary Kennedy Narrator: Lynne Ennis Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Reform the schools, improve teaching: these battle cries of American education have been echoing for 20 years. So why does teaching change so little? Arguing that too many would-be reformers know nothing about the conflicting demands of teaching, Mary Kennedy takes us into the controlled commotion of the classroom, revealing how painstakingly teachers plan their lessons, and how many different ways things go awry. Teachers try simultaneously to keep track of materials, time, students, and ideas. In their effort to hold all of these things together, they can inadvertently quash students' enthusiasm and miss valuable teachable moments. Kennedy argues that pedagogical reform proposals that do not acknowledge all of the things teachers need to do are bound to fail. If reformers want students to learn, they must address all of the problems teachers face, not just those that interest them. The book is published by Harvard University Press. Critic Reviews: "Inside Teaching is an important read for policy makers and other decision makers; it is a reminder that genuine education is a complex and fragile process that takes into account the idea that every student is a valuable contributor to the world and not a product to be assembled." (Sergio Mora, Childhood Education) An absolutely outstanding book, and a major contribution to the literature on teaching. (Richard F. Elmore, Harvard Graduate School of Education) "A wonderful new book..." (Teacher's Magazine)

Divider-in-Chief Audiobook by Kate Obenshain

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Divider-in-Chief Subtitle: The Fraud of Hope and Change Author: Kate Obenshain Narrator: Nicole Vilencia Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: When Barack Obama ran on a platform of "hope and change" four years ago, he promised to unite the country. But as Kate Obenshain reveals in Divider-in-Chief, Obama has done exactly the opposite. Rather than seeking common sense, pro-American solutions, he has pursued far-left policies, a radical leftist agenda, and an attitude thats both condescending and dismissive of Main Street America. As a result, America has become a nation of even greater polarization and disillusionment. In Divider-in-Chief, Obenshain exposes how Obama pushed for the HHS mandate, forcing people of faith to violate their conscience; how Obama has condoned the actions of Occupy Wall Street, saying, "You are the reason I ran for office," while he vilifies free markets and businessmen across America; how Obama seizes on opportunities to highlight racial discord and then accuses any critic of being "a racist"; and that, although Obama ran as a champion for the downtrodden, the unemployment rate is disproportionately high among minorities and women. Obenshain paints a picture of a president who promotes class warfare, aggravating racial, gender, and economic differences in order to advance his ideological agenda. Searing and controversial, Divider-in-Chief makes the case that we must defeat Barack Obama before he tears our nation apart. Kate Obenshain, a rising star in the conservative movement, was the chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia and is now the vice president of the Young Americas Foundation and a respected board member of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. She travels across the country speaking on college campuses, at Tea Party rallies, and special events. She is also a regular Fox News contributor and has appeared on numerous cable news shows. Critic Reviews: "Kate Obenshains new book Divider-in-Chief is an outstanding exposé of the hypocrisy, cynicism, and, extremism of the Obama administration. He claimed to be a uniter, but Kates book identifies where and how he has been the ultimate divider of Americans. If Obama is shown the door after the 2012 election, Kates book will be one of the reasons why everyone needs to read this before November!" (Sean Hannity, host of Hannitys America)

Title: The Brief Against Obama Subtitle: The Rise, Fall, & Epic Fail of the Hope & Change Presidency Author: Hugh Hewitt Narrator: Jeremy Wesley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Voters can do nothing until they have the facts - the hard, cold, true facts, and that is what Hugh Hewitt provides in The Brief Against Obama: The Rise, Fall & Epic Fail of the Hope & Change Presidency. Hugh makes the case that Obama's has been a disastrous presidency, a fiasco in fact, and reveals the president to be a wholly unprepared and incapable-of-learning ideologue whose nearly every move has been wrong, and whose almost every decision has been ill-conceived and poorly executed. But for the SEALs' dispatch of bin Laden and the military's removal of al-Awalki and other terrorists - whom the president still seeks to remove from Gitmo to domestic courts in the United States - Obama would be wholly without anything to claim as an achievement of his time in the Oval Office. In addition to the monumental failures of Obamacare, the soaring unemployment rate, the 2009 "stimulus" and the massive debt, Hugh Hewitt examines the scores and scores of broken promises and fraudulent forecasts, dozens of dodges and hundreds of disastrous innovations that President Obama has inflicted on America. It has been a reign of incompetency not before seen in the country - ever. According to Hewitt, President Obama is not just a failed president, but the most spectacularly failed president of modern times, and Hewitt's precise and lawyerly indictment is made to help the American people see what has happened, and what desperately needs to be done in the upcoming election. The path for the American people is clear and urgent: Barack Obama mustn't be allowed to run the country into the ground as the Commander-in-Chief for four more years.

Title: Showdown: Why China Wants War With the United States Author: Jed Babbin, Edward Timperlake Narrator: Thomas E. Olejniczak Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 06-23-12 Publisher: Regnery Publishing Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Are China and the United States headed for war? Yes, say best-selling authors Jed Babbin (former deputy undersecretary of defense) and Edward Timperlake (veteran defense analyst) in this riveting new book that takes you from the latest developments in China's quest to become a superpower to the possible battlefields of what might become World War III. Babbin and Timperlake unveil China's aggressive military buildup (more rapid than that of Nazi Germany before World War II) and expose how China is engaging in a new Cold War aimed at expanding its commercial and military reach at the expense of the United States. Babbin (a former Air Force JAG) and Timperlake (a former Marine fighter pilot) do more than offer expert analysis. In dramatic Clancy-esque style, they take you into the field with Navy SEALs and Air Force bomber pilots, invite you inside the war councils at the White House and the Pentagon, and peer within China's own Politburo in an exciting - and all too likely - series of war scenarios.

Title: Quarterly Essay 1: In Denial Subtitle: The Stolen Generations and the Right Author: Robert Manne Narrator: Robert Manne Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In this national best seller, Robert Mane attacks the right-wing campaign against the "Bringing Them Home" report that revealed how thousands of Aborigines had been taken from their parents. What was the role of Paddy McGuinness as editor of Quadrant? How reliable was the evidence that led newspaper columnists from Piers Akerman in the Sydney Daily Telegraph to Andrew Bolt in the Melbourne Herald Sun to deny the gravity of the injustice done? In a powerful indictment of past government policies towards the Aborigines, Robert Manne has written a brilliant polemical essay which doubles as a succinct history of how Aborigines were mistreated and an exposure of the ignorance of those who want to deny that history.

Emmett Tyrrell Narrator: Jim Bond Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Americas founders risked their lives to give us a republic - and dared us to keep it. But for more than a century, an insidious force has done its worst to rip the republic asunder: a movement of elites, academes, and politicians bent on reshaping the nation in the image of Marx, Rousseau, and - somewhat comically - Mussolini. In this lively obituary, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., founder and editor-in-chief of the American Spectator, chronicles: While Liberalism is effectively kaput, it is up to an engaged citizenry to hammer home the final coffin nails. The citizenry must affirm timeless republican values and constitutional ideals - in our neighborhoods, workplaces, ballparks, and especially at the ballot box - to ensure that this destructive movement rests in as much peace as it deserves. Critic Reviews: No columnist, no author, has had a greater influence upon the course of American political history over the past decade than that ribald contrarian, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. Even the slain giants die laughing. (Tom Wolfe, author of I Am Charlotte Simmons and A Man in Full)

Title: Anticapitalism: Bolinda Beginner Guides Author: Simon Tormey Narrator: Adrian Mulraney Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A refreshing take on the anti-capital movement, with developed and down-to-earth ideas on alternatives from modern capitalism. Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from WOMBLES to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle, and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet. Editorial Reviews: Adrian Mulraneys casually professorial tone engages the listener from the first line in Simon Tormeys astute and intelligent overview of an increasingly relevant topic in the the current geopolitical climate. Tormey uses the basic definition of the term capitalism as a springboard in his examination of how the dominant economic system in the world has fostered disillusionment in some and spawned countless movements ranging from anarchy and environmentalism. Far from a Marxist polemic, Tormey provides an insightful and objective starting point for understanding a complex and controversial movement, and Mulraneys calm, distinguished delivery makes for easy listening.

The second edition, "Inside the Circus", pulls back the curtain on the pursuit of the Republican nomination, as operatives jockey for position and strategists vie to fashion a message that can win over all factions of the fractious GOP. Over the course of a long winter and into the spring, the contest for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination gathered steam and bubbled over with drama. At times, it seemed more like a soap opera or reality show than a political campaign. "Inside the Circus", the latest real-time digital dispatch from acclaimed political correspondent Mike Allen and award-winning journalist and author Evan Thomas, chronicles each turn in this endlessly surprising race with reporting straight from the campaign war rooms of Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and the other GOP contenders. What was the thinking inside the Romney brain trust as what was once expected to be an easy ride to the nomination turned into what some have called a long slog? How did Newt Gingrich throw the preternaturally poised Romney off his game in South Carolinaand who convinced the former Massachusetts governor it was time to start punching back? Why were the other campaigns caught flat-footed by the rise of Rick Santorum and what does his unlikely ascent mean for the prospect of a brokered convention? From the Iowa caucuses to Super Tuesday and beyond, Allen and Thomas answer all the questions the headlines, polls, and delegate counts cant address. The stakes are high, the plotlines are still unfolding, and "Inside the Circus" is your fly-on-the-wall guide to the most fascinating Republican presidential race in recent memory.

Title: Common Nonsense Subtitle: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance Author: Alexander Zaitchik Narrator: Tom Dheere Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-11 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Who is this guy and why are people listening? Forget Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity--Glenn Beck is the Rights new media darling and the unofficial leader of the conservative grassroots. Lampooned by the Left and Lionized by the far Right, his bluster-and-tears brand of political commentary has commandeered attention on both sides of the aisle. Glenn Beck has emerged over the last decade as a unique and bizarre conservative icon for the new century. He encourages his listeners to embrace a cynical paranoia that slides easily into a fantasyland filled with enemies that do not exist and solutions that are incoherent, at best. Since the election of President Barack Obama, Becks bombastic, conspiratorial, and often viciously personal approach to political combat has made him one of the most controversial figures in the history of American broadcasting. In Common Nonsense, investigative reporter Alexander Zaitchik explores Beck's strange brew of ratings lust, boundless ego, conspiratorial hard-right politics, and gimmicky morning-radio entertainment chops. Separates the facts from the fiction, following Beck from his troubled childhood to his recent rise to the top of the conservative media heap. Zaitchik's recent three-part series in Salon caused so much buzz, Beck felt the need to attack it on his show. Based on Zaitchik's interviews with former Beck coworkers and review of countless Beck writings and television and radio shows. Explains why Beck is always crying, why he has so many conservative enemies, why he's driven by conspiracy theories, and why he's dangerous to the health of the republic. A contributing writer to Alternet, Zaitchik's reporting has appeared in the New Republic, the Nation, Salon, Wired, Reason, and The Believer.

Kennedy and The War Lovers, chronicle the dramatic events of this historic campaign as it unfolds.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Liberals always think they know best. Yet never before has the Left been so determined to brainwash our kids, says Washington Times columnist Marybeth Hicks in Dont Let the Kids Drink the Kool-Aid. Whether its through schools, the media, or so-called parenting experts, this book exposes the myriad ways liberals are indoctrinating tomorrows voters and the next generation of leaders into a socialist worldview. By destroying our childrens ambitions, work ethic, optimism, and faith, liberals are creating a generation of citizens who believe they are entitled to a lifetime of government care. The inevitable result? A society that will succumb to a system that robs them of liberty and prosperity in the name of social order. Revealing shocking stories and offering bold solutions, Hicks calls on all Americans to stand up to the Left and refuse to let them ruin our children.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Our Founding Fathers created the Bill of Rights to document our inalienable rights and to strictly limit the governments power. These ten amendments are the foundation of American Exceptionalism. Yet, that foundation is quickly eroding. With every new sweeping regulation and invasive policy, the Obama administration is twisting the Bill of Rights and corrupting its true purpose. Here to rescue this sacred document from the leftist politicians and activist liberal judges is best-selling author Frank Miniter with Saving the Bill of Rights: Exposing the Lefts Campaign to Destroy American Exceptionalism. In Saving the Bill of Rights, Miniter examines and explains the Bill of Rights amendment by amendment, reminding us exactly what we can doand more importantly, what the federal government cant do. The Left has hijacked the Bill of Rights, says Miniter, and its up to us to take it back. In Saving the Bill of Rights, Miniter reveals exactly how we can return the power of the Bill of Rights to its proper role in government and reestablish our Founding Fathers vision for America. Critic Reviews: Frank Miniters superbly written and cogently argued book should be read by all Americans who value their freedoms, which are rapidly being taken away.

Subtitle: Defending Our Kids from the Liberal Assault on Capitalism Author: Blake Kernen, Joe Kernen Narrator: Kevin Foley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Every morning on CNBC's Squawk Box, Joe Kernen asks challenging questions. And at home he does the same with his young daughter, Blake. What are you learning in school? What TV shows do you like? What message did you get from that movie? When Blake was nine, her answers told Joe that she had already absorbed a distorted view of economics---from her school, pop culture (even animated movies!), and just about everywhere else. She was learning that capitalism is unavoidably immoral, that business people can't be trusted, especially if they run big companies like BP or Wal-Mart, that trade is bad because it hurts American workers, and that no matter how bad things get, the government will always bail us out. Joe admits that he shouldn't have been surprised in an era when Washington casually takes over car companies and spends a trillion dollars "stimulating" the economy. But he was outraged and determined to do something about it. If he couldn't fix our education system or Hollywood, at least he could teach Blake how capitalism really works, and why it's worth defending. He started by asking her to write down phrases she didn't understand ("What's physical stimulus?"). That led to discussions of some tricky ideas, like credit and the time value of money. In theory a dollar today is always worth more than a dollar next year---but not to someone whose purchases are always paid for by someone else. Joe and Blake talked about the pluses (small) and minuses (huge) of unions---including the unionized teachers who disparage the free enterprise system that pays their salaries. They investigated the complicated process by which even the simplest manufactured items get made, without anyone directing from above. They puzzled out the truth about so-called fair trade: Rather than help poor farmers, it helps keep farmers poor. They learned the differences between Europe and America, and why free health care isn't really free. And they discovered what nine-year-olds have in com

Title: Compassionate Conservatism Subtitle: What It Is, What It Does, and How It Can Transform America Author: Marvin Olasky Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Compassionate conservatism is a new political force in the land, sweeping the grassroots of people of all faiths, races, and ethnicities. In its parts it offers solutions to many of our most intractable problems; in its whole it is nothing less than an innovative philosophy of government. No author is more qualified to explain its power and promise than Marvin Olasky, described by the New York Times as the godfather of compassionate conservatism. Compassionate conservatism offers a new paradigm for how the government can and should intervene in the economy. It begins with a long-lost premise about human behavior: economics, by itself, is not what changes lives. Only faith, and deeply held beliefs, can do that. For decades government has focused only on material well-being, ignoring the passions and convictions that make life worth living. What is conservative about the new movement is that its leaders also know that government cannot instill these beliefs. What it can do is help them flourish. It can give aid, inspiration, and direction to Americas natural armies of compassion that have been a hallmark of our history since the founding. Compassionate conservatism offers a way to transcend the root problems that currently oppress too many deserving Americans. It offers a unique vision of the triangular relationship between the state, our many churches, and our tens of thousands of charities. It is a true reinvention of welfare, a wholesale revolution in the welfare state, and a redefinition of the social safety net. In Compassionate Conservatism, Marvin Olasky takes us on a road trip with his son, Daniel, across the country, showing exactly how the new movement is unfolding. Along the way, he offers a set of principles, and a brief tour through history to show that these are not so much radically new ideas as rediscoveries of long-lost wisdom. Read this book for a blueprint of the future of politics and welfare in America. Critic Reviews: Marvin Olaskys seminal work on the failures of Washingtons old welfare system is a shining beacon of hope to men, women, and children who want to change their lives and claim the American dream of hope, self-reliance, and independence. (John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General)

Obamacare? Morris and McGann explain how to block the IRS enforcement of the requirement that everyone buy health insurance and how to stop the Medicare cuts and rationing.

Conservatives need to fight back and Morris and McGann explain how to do it. Revolt! is their most important book yet. The GOP won the elections of 2010. Revolt! explains how to translate this avalanche of votes into power and action in Washington. Their plea: Don't surrender. Don't compromise. Don't give in. Just push ahead and win!

Title: You Know I'm Right Subtitle: More Prosperity, Less Government Author: Michelle Caruso-Cabrera Narrator: Marguerite Gavin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: As the popular anchor of CNBC's daily news show Power Lunch, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera puts a new spin on conservatism. Now, in You Know I'm Right, Caruso-Cabrera presents a modern and smart approach to correcting the economic woes of the nation. Denouncing the hypocrites, she calls out the radicals on both sides of the spectrum who have frustrated voters and left fiscally conservative but socially liberal Americans feeling like a people without a party. Caruso-Cabrera maintains that by focusing on socially invasive policies, our country has lost its course. The answer is less government, not more; less spending, not more; and getting the government to stay out of our pocketbooks and out of our private lives. You Know I'm Right addresses the problems created by government overreach and speaks to the minds and hearts of nostalgic Republicans - those who believe in the strategy and approach used by Ronald Reagan. But it will also appeal to Clinton-era Democrats frustrated by the current level of exorbitant spending and excessive interference in the economy. Citing faults with both political parties, Caruso-Cabrera puts a magnifying glass on government structure, health care, and education, underscoring how we have gone wrong and, more important, where we need to go for a secure and prosperous future. Critic Reviews: "Michelle Caruso-Cabrera is very smart and the real deal. Her strong opinions always make you think." (Jack Welch)

Barack Obama and the Democrats are: ©2009 Eileen McGann; (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers Editorial Reviews: Dick Morris experienced a profound ideological shift from his days advising Bill Clinton's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns to the present, when he serves as one of the Democratic Party's staunchest critics. In Catastrophe (2009), written with his wife Eileen McGann, Morris does not mince words in describing how President Barack Obama's "radical agenda" is inevitably going to lead to disaster for America by turning the country into a "socialist" state. Peter Ganim has narrated over 150 audiobooks in just about every genre, and in Catastrophe he lends his well-modulated, seasoned voice to this political screed. Though Morris and McGann term their message "urgent" and call their first chapter "Take Back Our Country", the audiobook benefits from Ganim's moderate, rather than red-faced, vocal performance.

Coburn, a congressional maverick who kept his promise to serve three terms and then leave Washington, offers a candid look at the inner workings of Congress - why the system changes politicians instead of vice versa.

This honest and critical look at "business as usual" in Congress reveals how and why elected representatives are quickly seduced into becoming career politicians who won't push for change. Along the way, Coburn offers listeners realistic ideas for how to make a difference. (P)2004 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Title: Real Change Subtitle: From the World That Fails to the World That Works Author: Newt Gingrich Narrator: Callista Gingrich Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 02-19-08 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Newt Gingrich, architect of the Contract with America, says it is time for citizens to demand results from our elected officials. In this revealing and exciting new book, he shows how America can achieve transformational change - from a government of bureaucratic failure to a government that can meet the challenges of the 21st century. As a first step, Gingrich busts the pernicious myth that America is divided between conservative red states and liberal blue states. As Gingrich points out, the American people are united on almost every important issue facing our country - including immigration, taxes, defending America, and freedom of religion. The real division is between red-white-and-blue America and a fringe on the Left. Red-white-and-blue America believes overwhelmingly - by majorities of 70 percent or more - that we need a change in course. But our politicians aren't listening. Gingrich reveals why the Democratic Party can't deliver real change and why the Republican Party won't. He provides answers and a step-by-step, issue-by-issue toolkit for building a better America - the safe, innovative, and dynamic America we all want.

Homo Politicus Audiobook by Dana Milbank

Title: Homo Politicus Subtitle: The Strange and Scary Tribes that Run Our Government Author: Dana Milbank Narrator: Johnny Heller Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-08 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Deep within the forbidding land encircled by the Washington Beltway lives the tribe known as Homo politicus. Their ways are strange, even repulsive, to civilized human beings; their arcane rites often impenetrable; their language coded and obscure. Violating their complex taboos can lead to sudden, harsh, and irrevocable punishment. Normal Americans have long feared Homo politicus, with good reason. But fearless anthropologist Dana Milbank has spent many years immersed in the dark heart of Washington, D.C., and has produced this indispensable portrait of a bizarre culture whose tribal ways are as hilarious as they are outrageous. Milbank's anthropological lens is highly illuminating, whether examining the mating rituals of Homo politicus (which have little to do with traditional concepts of romantic love), demonstrating how status is displayed in the Beltway's rigid caste system (such as displaying a wooden egg from the White House Easter Egg Roll), or detailing the precise ritual sequence of human sacrifice whenever a scandal erupts. (The human sacrificed does not have to be the guiltiest party, just the lower ranked.) Milbank's lacerating wit mows down the pompous, the stupid, and the corrupt among Democrats, Republicans, reporters, and bureaucrats by naming names. Every appalling anecdote in this book is, alas, true.

Title: Comeback Subtitle: Conservatism That Can Win Again Author: David Frum Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-07 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Not in a generation has conservatism been in as much trouble as it is at the end of the Bush years. A majority of Americans say the country is "on the wrong track". Voters prefer Democrats over Republicans on almost every issue, including taxes. The married, the middle-class, the native-born are dwindling as a share of the population, while Democratic blocs are rising. A generation of young people has turned its back on the Republican party. Frum says that the ideas that won elections for conservatives in the 1980s have done their job. Republicans can no longer win elections on taxes, guns, and promises to restore traditional values. It's time now for a new approach.

Subtitle: 10 Things Every American Should Know about Mitt Romney Author: Hugh Hewitt Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-07 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Mitt Romney may be the only Republican who can deny John McCain the nomination. And he may be the only Republican who can stop Hillary. He's an incredibly successful businessman and a fiscal and social conservative who managed to win the governorship in one of the staunchest Democratic states in America. But the Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is also a devout Mormon. So what does that mean for the election of 2008? Hugh Hewitt sets out to explain Romney, his faith, and the importance of that debate. Mixing exclusive interviews with the governor and candid conversations with some of the country's leading Christian pastors and shrewdest political observers, this is a riveting look inside the most wide-open battle for the presidency since 1948.

Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right Audiobook by Bernard Goldberg

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 06:47:06 +0000

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right Author: Bernard Goldberg Narrator: Bernard Goldberg Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-07 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 125 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: But Goldberg has also had it with hypocritical Republicans who say they're for small government but then spend our hard-earned tax money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. He's also had it with weak and timid Republicans who won't stand up and fight against racial preferences, too afraid that the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world will call them bigots. In plain English, he's had it with Republicans who are afraid to be conservative! The 2006 election was a wake-up call, he warns, and if the wimps on the Right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the Left just might win the White House in 2008. Editorial Reviews: Goldberg is the former award-winning CBS reporter who ravaged his former employer in his previous bestseller, Bias. In this rant, the irascible Goldberg expands his polemic to include what he considers the "crazies" of the left - whom he portrays as milquetoasts for their social programs and politically correct motives - and the "wimps" of the right - whom he sees as traitors for compromising on social and fiscal policies. Narrated by the author, in a nasal New York tone that barely masks his contempt, this is a typically unsparing indictment so filled with personal invective that one wonders if anyone else could have read it as effectively.

The New Terrorism Audiobook by Walter Laqueur

Title: The New Terrorism Subtitle: Fanaticism and the Arms of Mass Destruction Author: Walter Laqueur Narrator: Edward Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-04 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Though this book was written before September 11, 2001, it provides prescient insight into the forms of terrorism we are experiencing today. Beginning with a history of terrorism, Laqueur charts a trend: whereas the old kind of terrorist wanted to extract concessions, new terrorists just want to damage as much as possible. Needless to say, we have seen just this in our current affairs. Laqueur goes on to prophesy the damage that can be caused when chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons of mass destruction fall into terrorist hands, and brings up the very real prospect of cyberterrorism. This book is essential for understanding our current predicament and for coming to grips with the uncertain future. ©1999 Walter Laqueur; (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc. Critic Reviews: "The New Terrorism would serve admirably as a first-rate textbook on the subject." (The Los Angeles Times Book Review) "A handy integration of the background and present face of the terrorist phenomenon." (Booklist)

A Pretext for War Audiobook by James Bamford

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Pretext for War Subtitle: 9/11, Iraq, and the Abuse of America's Intelligence Agencies Author: James Bamford Narrator: Ray Childs Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-04 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: From the mishandling of the pre-9/11 threat to the unproven claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Bamford argues that the Bush administration has co-opted the intelligence community for its own political ends, and at the expense of American security. Bamford makes the case that the Bush administration's Middle East policy decisions, from overthrowing Saddam to ignoring the situation of the Palestinians, are driven by long-held beliefs and goals of an elite group of conservatives inside and outside of government. A Pretext for War hones in on the systematic weakness that led the intelligence community to ignore or misinterpret evidence of the impending terrorist attacks of 9/11, a failure rooted in the refusal to acknowledge the central role of the Palestinian cause in igniting Arab rage against the United States. Compounding the errors, the Bush administration's immediate response to 9/11 was to call for an attack on Iraq, and it subsequently invented justifications for the preemptive war that has ultimately left the United States more vulnerable to terrorism. A Pretext for War is an unprecedented, utterly convincing expose of the most secretive administration in history. Critic Reviews: "Much of the information and many of the theories in Mr. Bamford's book will be familiar to readers from earlier magazine and newspaper articles, and other books....But Mr. Bamford unearths new details about everything from the identity of one of the disclosed locations used by Vice President Dick Cheney after 9/11...to the failures of a special CIA unit charged with tracking Osama bin Laden, and he connects the many dots, both old and new, to create a vivid, unsettling narrative." (The New York Times)

Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1409 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Republican Noise Machine Subtitle: Right-Wing Media and How it Corrupts Democracy Author: David Brock Narrator: David Brock Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-04 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Brock's penetrating analysis of right-wing media theories and methodology reveals that the Republican Right views the media as an extension of a broader struggle for political power. By tracing the political impact of right-wing media, Brock shows how disproportionate conservative influence in the media is integrally linked to the Republican Right's current domination of all three branches of government, to the propping up of the Bush administration, and to the inability of Democrats to voice their opposition to this political sea change or to compete on an even playing field. As only an ex-conservative intimately familiar with the imperatives of the American right wing could, David Brock suggests ways in which concerned Americans can begin to redress the conservative ascendancy and cut through the propagandistic fog. Writing with verve and deep insight, he reaches far beyond typical bromides about media bias to produce an invaluable account of the rise of right-wing media and its political consequences. Promising to be the political book of the year, The Republican Noise Machine will transform the raging yet heretofore unsatisfying debate over the politics of the media for years to come.
