Here are the facts:. The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantánamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years—and dressed them up as tax cuts!. Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiots—lulling us into a false sense of security. If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radio—forcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management. Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan—for a total of nearly $200 billion. The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothing—and the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!. Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn?. As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL. Who's calling the shots instead?. Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced& more...

In What’s the Matter with Kansas?, Thomas Frank pointed out. that a great number of Americans actually vote against their own. interests. In The Political Mind, George Lakoff explains why. As it turns out, human beings are not the rational creatures. we’ve so long imagined ourselves to be. Ideas, morals, and values. do not exist somewhere outside the body, ready to be examined and. put to use. Instead, they exist quite literally inside the brain—and. they take physical shape there. For example, we form particular. kinds of narratives in our minds just like we form specific muscle. memories such as typing or dancing, and then we fit new information. into those narratives. Getting that information out of one narrative. type and into another—or building a whole new narrative. altogether—can be as hard as learning to play the banjo. Changing. your mind isn’t like changing your body—it’s the same thing. But as long as progressive politicians and activists persist in. believing that people use an objective system of reasoning to decide. on their politics, the Democrats will continue to lose elections. They. must wrest control of the terms of the debate from their opponents. rather than accepting their frame and trying to argue within it. This passionate, erudite, and groundbreaking book will appeal. to readers of Steven Pinker and Thomas Frank. It is a fascinating. read for anyone interested in how the mind works, how society. works, and how they work together. more...
