Have you ever wondered:
"what it will take to hold onto our precious heritage of liberty?

there ever been a better time to share these ideas with our children?
U.S. CUSTOMS:
Book By Darlene Catalan
A Federal whistleblower's explosive expose.
Learn truth about 'homeland security'
In "U.S. Customs: Badge of Dishonor," Darlene Catalan, a special U.S.
Customs agent, blows the whistle on one of America's dirtiest little
secrets -- our borders are still wide open, not only to human migration, but
to illegal drugs and terrorist weapons.
Catalan explains this is not because of lack of manpower or neglect. It's
due to corruption by federal officials -- payoffs, cronyism, fraud and
abuse.
Catalan chronicles the way rail cars entering the country go uninspected --
by design, leaving our country open to the prospect of "dirty nuke"
terrorism and bio and chemical hazards.
As they used to say in "Dragnet," the names have been changed to protect the
innocent -- but this is a true story as seen through the courageous eyes of
a female federal agent.
This is a book the government would like you to overlook. They tried to kill
it. You won't find it in bookstores. But you can get it exclusively through
WorldNetdaily's online store now.
POCKET PATRIOT
By George Grant
Available From WorldNetDaily.com
G.K. Chesterton once quipped that America is the only nation ever founded on
a creed.
While other nations focus on ethnicity, geography, ideology, or tradition,
America was founded on certain ideas about freedom, human dignity, and
social responsibility. The profound peculiarity was what moststruck Alexis
de Tocqueville when he visited in the early nineteenth century.
About the same time, American educators began to realize that if their
experiment in liberty was to succeed, informed patriotism must be instilled
in the young. Thus rising citizens were presented with a small handbook, a
brief guide to the essential elements of the American Creed. The Pocket
Patriot is an updated version of that vaunted tradition.
A citizenship primer for a new generation of Americans, it includes such
documents as The Mayflower Compact, Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give
Me Death" speech, The Declaration of Independence, biographies of the
Founding Fathers, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the amendments to
the Constitution, "The Star-Spangled Banner," and short biographical
sketches of the lives of the presidents. A concise introduction to the
foundational ideas, documents, events, and personalities of American
freedom, it is an ideal resource for citizens contemplating the direction
they wish the nation to take during the pivotal years to come.

THE IRANIANS:
By Sandra Mackey
Book Review by Mark Dankof for Christian News & Freedomwriter.com Feb. 11, 2002
 Author Mark Dankof in front of The White House, Washington, DC www.MarkDankof.com THE NEW THOUGHT POLICE
Book by Tammy Bruce
A unique perspective from unique person
Tammy Bruce, the self-described lesbian feminist activist, argues in her
provocative new book, "The New Thought Police," that our fundamental
freedoms of expression are under withering assault from powerful special
interest groups on the Left.
According to Bruce, the current attempts to silence Dr. Laura are only the
latest in a long line of attacks on people whose opinions do not conform
with the agendas championed by national feminist, racial, and gay
organizations. From rigid speech codes on college campuses to the knee-jerk
use of such labels as "racist," "homophobic," and "hateful" in an attempt to
socially ostracize people with opposing viewpoints, speaking one's mind
today has become increasingly dangerous.
What makes this book's thesis especially powerful is that the author is a
"progressive" who has served in a leadership position at NOW, an
organization she now decries as a foot soldier in the war against free
speech.
"Ironically," writes Bruce, "it is the progressives who, while seemingly
committed to freedom of expression, attempt to exact severe social
punishments on anyone who espouses an idea or opinion that challenges their
status quo. Perhaps it's time for all of us to reread George Orwell's
'1984.'"
BIAS:
Book By Bernard Goldberg "Think the media are biased? CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN crying foul for years, but now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left, it's far worse than you think. Breaking ranks and naming names, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg reveals a corporate news culture in which the close-mindedness is breathtaking, journalistic integrity has been pawned to liberal opinion, and "entertainment" trumps hard news every time. In his three decades at CBS, Goldberg repeatedly voiced his concerns to network executives about the often one-sided nature of the news coverage. But no one listened to his complaints-or if they did listen, they did nothing about the problem. Finally, Goldberg had no choice but to blow the whistle on his own industry, to break the code of silence that pervades the news business. Bias is the result. As the author reveals, "liberal bias" doesn't mean simply being hard on Republicans and easy on Democrats. Real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world-and their bias directly affects how we all see the world."
THE FINAL DAYS:
Book by Barbara Olson "Book Description. New York Times best-selling author Barbara Olson, whose Hell to Pay laid bare the sordid political deals of Hillary Rodham Clinton, focused her razor sharp vision on the Clintons' shocking excesses in their final days of office: the outrageous pardons to political cronies and friends, the looting of the White House, the executive orders that were sheer abuses of presidential power, the presidential library that is becoming a massive boondoggle of vanity more appropriate to a Third World dictator, and much more. This was how the Clintons chose to end their occupation of the White House, in a story whose reverberations are still shaking the political landscape.
"Barbara Olson knew Washington politics from the inside -- with a depth of insight and fire-honed principled -- like few others. She was an attorney with the Justice Department, a Congressional investigator, and a general counsel in the United States Senate. She knew the law. She knew the Constitution. She knew how power is meant to be responsibly exercised. In The Final Days she shows how the Clintons climaxed eight years of sleaze with a spree of payoffs and self-indulgence unprecedented in its vulgarity and possible illegality.
"About the Author Barbara Olson was killed on September 11, 2001, when the airplane she had just boarded for Los Angeles was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the Pentagon...."
THE DEATH OF THE WEST:
Book by Patrick J. Buchanan
"Patrick J. Buchanan's contentious premise in The Death of the West is that the United States is no longer a healthy melting pot, but instead a confused, tottering "conglomeration of peoples with almost nothing in common." Relying on United Nations population statistics, and citing such diverse sources as Yogi Berra and Rhett Butler, Buchanan sees for America four "clear and present dangers": declining birth rates; uncontrolled immigration of peoples of "different colors, creed, and cultures"; a rise of "anti-Western" culture antithetical to established religious, cultural, and moral norms; and a "defection of ruling elites" to the idea of world government. His solutions include higher wages and tax breaks for parents than for singles, a dramatic rollback of immigration quotas, and a National History Bee. Buchanan's volatile, adamant book eschews any middle ground. Readers will either applaud his ideas or be repulsed by them." --H. O'Billovitch
