<description><![CDATA[Billion dollar camping financing is not compatible with democracy, in that the two are complete opposites, with one catering to a different segment. I honestly do not believe exponential spending is they way to promote democracy, as that is a sign of corruption. The middle-class is suffocated, and for years, they have tried to survive, but when all you see is more of the same, it's hard to keep on.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are humans, not built to agree on everything, but certain things - our understanding of democracy and dictatorship - do call to question our very intelligence. You cannot support the decadency of a person whose tactics are to demean those that disagree with him, on one hand - while also fighting for freedom and our rights to speak out against bad policy.- on another.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many folks on social media are inundating me with political propaganda this month; I've been guilty of sharing a few tidbits myself and I get it: You want your candidate to win, or you hate both of them and want to revolt. The problem is that 90% of this stuff is pure garbage (or satire) from both sides.]]></description>

<title>A Book That Shows Why the UK Should Leave the EU</title>

<description><![CDATA[Robert Oulds' book, Everything You Wanted to Know About the EU, published in 2013, is still timely and even more relevant than when first published; I doubt whether any of its central contentions have been subsequently disproved, and all we have to welcome are some updates on the statistics which are probably likely to further confirm his central contentions. In fact some of the events since 2013, specifically the Syrian immigration crisis, must add more weight to his position. But to be clear at the outset: Robert Oulds is the Director of the Bruges Group, which for the last 20 years has been campaigning for the UK exit from the EU. So, partisan? Yes, but being partisan does not disqualify one from having an informed opinion, or further from even being right. The purpose of criticism is to see the object for what it is and to do that one has to understand one's own subjectivity first and build that into the equation. This I think Robert Oulds has admirably done]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In Andreas Papandreou: The Making of a Greek Democrat and Political Maverick (I.B. Tauris, 256 pages, $49 and ?30), Stan Draenos depicts a man torn between national identities, academic or political careers and a complex relationship with his popular politician father. The quandaries of Papandreou (1919-96) are proficiently interwoven into the political context involving the United States and Greece during the Cold War. ]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2014 07:42:17 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The Conservative Revolution by Cory Bernardi, the book, is worth a read because it covers so-called conservative principles. These are principles like Faith, Family, Flag and Free Enterprise, which are cultural values held by establishment institutions and the majority in the mainstream, but utilitarian neo-liberal elite who currently have most of the power in the country want to change things from what they were in the past to conform with what is modern conservatism today. The Liberal Party today is no longer liberal in the traditional sense of the word, having moved to the right on most issues.]]></description>

<pubDate>Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:42:33 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Death and The Maiden is an obvious reference to several regimes in South America. Dorfman's native Chile was ruled by General Pinochet for almost two decades until he stepped down in 1991. His rule was a monument to brutal intolerance and persecution of dissidents. However the unmistakable parallels to regimes in our own continent also cannot be missed.]]></description>

<pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 15:59:25 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Animal Farm is a savage satire on communist revolution written by George Orwell. Set on an English Farm named Manor Farm, this fable-like story concerns the misery that the animals faced in the hands of human beings. The story opens with Mr. Jones, a capable farmer, stumbling into bed after a night of excessive whiskey drinking. Old Major, a reverential, time-honored pig, called all the animals together for a meeting which took place after Mr. Jones had gone to bed.]]></description>

<title>Could America Become A Theocracy? Steven Jonas Thinks So - And Wrote &quot;The 15% Solution&quot; to Prove It</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/7698772</link>
<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/7698772</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 15:50:17 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The 15% Solution employs the public record of theocratic statements, pledges and policies from leading Republicans and their allies on the Right to support details of a post democratic America after a theocratic coup. It seems a not-unlikely worst case scenario of off-the-rails religion-based government, a descent into totalitarian Christian rule. One overwhelming sense the reader gets from this book is that we are much closer to such a tragedy than most Americans realize. While The 15% Solution has elements of the grim futures seen in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and George Orwell's "1984," the future that Dr. Jonas presents is most unnervingly closest to the dystopian order presented by Margaret Atwood in "The Handmaiden's Tale."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A dispassionate analysis of the most sensitive region in the context of extremism in the world, the book, coming from the former foreign secretary of Pakistan, is a breath of fresh air in the plethora of literature on the subject. Without prejudice for or against Pakistan, the book is an exception to the usually mundane literature produced by the former Pakistani diplomats. Then, it is not sensational but rather precise in giving a cool-headed analysis of the current situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jane Mayer, in a gripping analysis of the dark side of the intelligence business, portrays Bush's administration on a quest to subvert future attacks against America. In shocking detail, she characterizes an insatiable drive to make terror suspects talk. Sadly, it is apparent that legal maneuverings were pursued to bring American interrogators to the edge of legally torturing individuals to obtain actionable intelligence. Unfortunately, after allowing such atrocities as sensory deprivation and the now infamous water boarding techniques, very little sound intelligence was ever developed.]]></description>

<title>Book Review: National Security in the Obama Administration: Reassessing the Bush Doctrine</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:46:57 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[As the author says in the preface of the book, the focus of the book is on the intersection of post-9/11 national security dilemmas that face the United States and its allies, the development and application of the strategic doctrines and policies that respond to those circumstances, and presidential leadership and judgment that are brought to bear, for better or worse, on these issues, and as the title of the book implies it uses the analysis of two presidencies and the doctrine that both connects and separates them, as a method. After 9/11 when the American national icons were attacked, the Bush Administration put into place a large set of policies designed to prevent another, more deadly attack, policies which were controversial both domestically and abroad. Barack Obama ran for the disagreements which those policies were based on and was elected to the presidency. ]]></description>

This potential war will make the Iraq war look like a small border conflict in scale as it will be the culmination of over 50 years of aggressive behaviour between Iran, it's Arab neighbours; and Israel and it's pro-UN allies. ]]></description>

The book is both a finery scholarly work and a riveting story of a man who succeeded the international icon Nelson Mandela to lead South Africa.

<description><![CDATA[I had mixed feelings at times while reading "The New Reagan Revolution: How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness" by Michael Reagan with Jim Denney. The book has a Foreword by Newt Gingrich and is also endorsed on the cover by Rush Limbaugh. Therefore, you can tell right now that if you are a liberal, die hard democrat, or just someone who leans that way, you are not going to like this book much. Unless you are reading it to learn more about conservative principles that Ronald Reagan stood for. If you are a conservative, you are going to enjoy this book much more. I think most people will figure that out by the cover, but wanted to make it clear that if you like this book or not will really be decided by your political views.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Acquiring all the books written by U.S. presidents would result in a surprisingly small collection. Though there are some anthologies of presidential papers and speeches from the 19th century, true autobiographies are rare, the most notable being that of Ulysses S. Grant. That all changed beginning with Harry S. Truman. In fact, since Truman, every president with the obvious exception of John F. Kennedy, has written some sort of post-presidential memoir. Their writings provide an interesting look behind the fence of the White House and into the rarified atmosphere that is the U.S. presidency.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Hologram of Liberty: The Constitution's Shocking Alliance with Big Government" by Kenneth W. Royce (a.k.a. Boston T. Party) is a book that makes you think, or at least it should. I personally found it to be quite eye opening, and respect the amount of research that went into this analysis of the United States Constitution. I believe this is an important book, and many more people should read it. And you don't have to take it on face value if you don't want, just go do some research on your own, because Royce provides a great road map with the research he's done, and that's the thing about this book, it contains so many quotes and passages from other sources that support Royce's conclusions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recently, an acquaintance of mind mentioned that Think Tanks historically have had a great deal of impact on policy making decisions in Washington DC, especially when it comes to the strategic defense of our country.

Everything about the 2000 miles that connects us with Mexico--including the establishment of the United States Border Patrol -- is critical in resolving the problems of human trafficking, cross border violence and drug smuggling.

<description><![CDATA[Often politicians running for office will write books, and many of them will use these books to rally their base of supporters. It's always been an excellent tool for high-power politicians in the House and Senate or perhaps even running for president. Often governors of states will also write books and they use these books to propel their notoriety, and help establish themselves as experts of integrity and credibility. "Putting People First; How We Can Change America," by Gov. Bill Clinton and Senator Al Gore, 1992]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[All too often the citizens of the United States get into a huff over politics. They refuse to read the books of politicians which don't agree with them. They call their works "trash" without ever reading a single chapter. Personally, I cannot do that, I want to know what the opposition party has to say, I'd like to listen to their arguments, and I like to, or rather enjoy finding flaws in their logic.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Based on four decades of hands-on experience, this book shows how, for political progressives, being right on the issues is less important than being the winner.

<description><![CDATA[A picture of America's first coloured President makes for the cover of Dreams of My Father. Look closer and there's a tag that says, "His remarkable story in his own words".

<description><![CDATA[Written during the 6th century BC, The Art of War is a definitive Chinese military strategy treatise that has proven relevant centuries later, not only to modern-day warfare, but also to politics, business, managerial and even relationship strategies. Best summarized in his quote "all warfare is based on deception", Sun Tzu's teachings include the importance of positioning in strategy, having taken into account the objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of your opponent in that environment.]]></description>
