Here are some suggestions for you to read and view. We have NOT alphabetized the titles. Maybe there will be time for that in the times to come. For now, Control/F for find will allow you to enter part of a title or author's name, and you'll be led to the book title/author if we have them on this page.

The author also wrote Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, to wide acclaim. In this book Corsi lays out the case against Obama. Some of it has been in the news, but some is newly uncovered, and will certainly never be mentioned by the liberal press. We owe it to ourselves and each other to read and spread the word through our own channels.

Sober, fair, and thoroughly researched, this book removes the halo from a man less qualified and more radical than the mainstream media has let you know.

Andrew McCarthy tells a terrifying story of a nation's leaders - unsure of how to wage battle against an enemy with no rules of engagement, no concern for political correctness, and legions of zealots control through religious fanaticism. Their solution? To prosecute a handful of individual terrorist while thousands of their follows plan their assault on our shining city on a hill.

McCarthy was in the courtroom and led the successful prosecution of the jihad organization that carried out the 1993 World Trade Center attack and now he takes you behind the scenes when law enforcement and intelligence agencies underestimated the threat of the terrorist movement growing around us. This was not a battle that could be won in the courtroom. We learned that terrible lesson on September 11, 2001.

As last week's news demonstrates, there are still many in Washington that don't believe this is a war. A Memoir of the Jihad shows in stark and shocking terms the human cost of this approach. This book arms you with the facts about what the jihadists are doing as they operate within America's borders, boldly targeting our cities and seeking to destroy our way of life.

Bill Bennett said after reading McCarthy's book, "In any intellectual street fight or battle, I want Andy McCarthy on my side - he is a smart and forceful intellectual ally. In a time of war, this is all the more so, and America is lucky to have him on hers."

The secular Left's relentless effort to drive God out of America's public square is not only destructive -- it is deeply dishonest. All it takes to see just how important religion was to our nation's Founders -- and to generations of their successors -- is to take a stroll around Washington, DC. That's exactly what former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich does in Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future. This "Walking Tour" of the significant monuments, memorials, artifacts and documents in our nation's capital serves as a rebuttal to those who seek to write God out of American history. Step by step, you will see the concrete case for defending the place that America has always acknowledged for the Creator in our public life.

How three great conservatives -- Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and Margaret Thatcher -- together changed the course of history.

Proof she repeatedly lied to the public, and lacks the character to lead the nation.

Review from Norma Cappelletti: For more than a decade, countless journalists and biographers have struggled to pin down the character of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yet despite all the security, no one - until now - has explained her many contradictions and deceptions.

Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works
by Newt Gingrich

He’s smart, and has an understanding of America’s history. We believe it’s about time someone wrote a book that isn't a down in the mouth, whimpering review of how bad it is. Newt Gingrich shows us how we can grab a future we'll be proud to leave our children and grand-children. Real Change doesn't attempt to reach only Republicans, but makes arguments that should appeal to all Americans.

"This book is a must read, it's fun and funny, real life descriptions of life on modern day American University campus. This book shows the curious phenomenon that occurs when a group of people lose ideological contact with the majority of people. A person or group of people on the far left (or far right) cannot communicate with the vast majority of people that reside in the middle of society. It's like their minds never reach any understanding of the other. Today on the American University campus, most Professors have lost ideological contact with the American people that pay their wages and permit Professors to teach. What a sad day this is." Review on Amazon.com by Samuel Baldwin.

Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches

John Dean has become one of the most trenchant and respected commentators on the current state of American politics and one of the most outspoken and perceptive critics of the administration of George W. Bush in his New York Times bestsellers Conservatives Without Conscience and Worse than Watergate.

In his eighth book, Dean takes the broadest and deepest view yet of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional damage that the Republican Party and its core conservatives have inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state of all three branches of government, tracing their decline through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. Unlike most political commentary, which is concerned with policy, Dean looks instead at process--making the case that the 2008 presidential race must confront these fundamental problems as well. Finally, he addresses the question that he is so often asked at his speaking engagements: What, if anything, can and should politically moderate citizens do to combat the extremism, authoritarianism, incompetence, and increasing focus on divisive wedge issues of so many of today's conservative politicians?

With the Democrats now in control of both the House and Senate, the stakes for the 2008 presidential election have never been higher. This is a book for anyone who wants to return government to the spirit of the Constitution. Review from Amazon.com.

Bill and I arrived in Pinehurst from New Jersey on November 4th, 1980....it was my birthday (won't tell you how old I was!) and it was election day (Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States)! Within the next two years I became a part of a new Moore County Republican Women's Club. I was a charter member. We didn't even have a Men's Club at that time.

The name of the gentleman who introduced me to this start-up group was Tom Hicks. Beverly Shebs gave me more information at the MRW meeting on June 4th. I remembered the name of the 1st President.....and the names of several of the ladies (when Beverly mentioned them). Right now they are all OUT OF MY MIND!!!! Beverly will know them. I don't believe I have any copies of minutes or anything like that.

Bill and I have been here a long time.....Lots of "water under the bridge" as they say.

After many years of raising our five wonderful children, and after many years of my trying to make the New York State Senate look good to their constituents (graphic arts.) my late husband and I came to Seven Lakes to retire. He played golf and tennis, and I doodled around in the garden, and got involved in a local group. That’s where I met my very dear friend, Dawn Parr. Dawn was from England and saw first hand WWII. She then became a flight attendant with American Airlines, met George, and settled in the States. Dawn was involved in everything cultural and Republican! She took me to my first MRW luncheon back when we met at Belle Meade. Joyce Omer was president then. I was impressed, and joined immediately, being a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. Brenda Parks was secretary, and when Joan Thurman took over the presidency Brenda was in a new marriage and a new house in Seven Lakes. She was ready to give up the secretary job. Sure, I could do that, and did it for four years.

My dear, chatty, friendly Dawn was silenced by a major stroke. How sad to see what a stroke could do to such a bright and lively friend. Her death left quite a void. I had already endured the loss of my husband, Jim, to a massive stroke that took him quickly. Dawn lingered for several months.

Well, one thing usually leads to another, and after Joan’s great leadership, I became President. I thank you, Dawn, for getting me involved in the Moore Republican Women. It is a wonderful group of women. I have gotten to know such delightful people, and we’re all on the same track.

I wish our Country would get back on that track. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I worry about what kind of Country and world our grandchildren will have.

After the last luncheon meeting for the summer (June), I was waiting for valet parking. Sitting on the bench next to me was a fellow Republican woman. We started to chat and I asked her how she liked the meeting. Her reply was "it was all very good expect for that first speaker who was long winded". I thought about that for a minute and then replied to her "that would be me" She got up walked to her car and never said another word. I guess that I will need to remember this and be less long winded in my future reports. No snoring please.
