Think Tanks - A Historical Record of the Reality and Brains Behind the Game

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. Indeed, that is rather hard to deny and it is good to have the top thinkers of our time supporting our common goal to have the strongest defense on the planet. Without that we really do not have any guarantee that our great nation can continue. Without a strong military and defense our political clout, political will, and our diplomacy issues will not be taken seriously.

In any case, since I have not told you anything that you probably didn't already know or hadn't previously contemplated, my acquaintance did remind me of a rather interesting book to read, one which I own and it sits in my personal business library in my home. The name of the book, one which you may wish to read yourself if these things interest you is:

"Think Tanks" with a rather lengthy subtitle "An inside report on the remarkable idea factories - from pioneering Rand Corp to Herman Kahn's Hudson Institute to Robert Hutchins' pundit-harboring Center for Democratic Institutions to Nader's Raders, with a host of cerebral super-markets in between - that have made the brains business America's newest and perhaps most fateful, industry" by Paul Dickerson, published by Atheneum, New York, NY, (1971), pages 370, Library of Congress Card Catalogue # 71-16293.

As the Founder of a Think Tank, which operates online, I understand what the author was getting at, and see why his hard-hitting view and admonishment of the Industrial Military Complex was so pointed. He did serve in the US Navy, and thus, understands at least some of the game - today he's an older gentleman with some 55-books under his wings.

This book; "Think Tanks" (the author's first book) is a nice picture in time of the 1960s and 1970s, and it warns of the their power to move mountains and influence our leadership. It's a worthy read, and so maybe I'll recommend it to my acquaintance to consider in his quest to use brains to focus the brawn of our military. Please consider all this.

Setting the Political Record Straight - A Book That Takes You From Left to Right

Every once in a while a good book comes along that sets the political record straight and helps us understand what is nothing more than media driven political rhetoric, or political opposition attacks. The book I'd like to recommend has a red cover with a little smiley face, which has a Hitler mustache. If that isn't enough to shock you into thinking, I'm not sure what would. The book is called:

"Liberal Fascism; the Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning" by Jonas Goldberg; Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group division of Random House; New York, NY; 2008. ISBN: 978-0-385-51184-1.

The first chapter completely sets the record straight on Mussolini, and the second chapter gives a historical account of Adolph Hitler. In the Third Chapter Goldberg discusses the concept of "it couldn't happen here," and explains how it was. He goes into a full account of Woodrow Wilson's rise to power and political exploits once in power.

Chapter 4 explains how Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" was a Fascist New Deal in reality. In chapter 5 you'll get a totally different historical account of the 1960's movement, while in chapter 6, you'll find yourself quite alarmed at the Kennedy myths. He also shows how the "liberal agenda" works to turn the nation into a god and nationalism into a religion, which makes for a particularly interesting conversation and dialogue in the book

Another interesting set of contentions is put forth in the chapter on eugenics, and how the "liberals" in the US support such concepts, as did Hitler; the author also weaves in, the abortion issues to these talks. Still, I found the chapter entitled; "Liberal Fascist Economics" the most interesting perhaps due to the current economic challenges we face. The direction of our government in the economic system of the US is completely troubling and so similar to past fascist, communist, and socialist governments of the past, all of which have failed by the way.

Everyone should read the author's sub chapter on the "Fascist Bargain" when it comes to business and government uniting and promoting each other. And the very important sub-chapter; "The Liberal Fascist Bargain," all this is absolutely true and scary to the core.

You might like to read the chapters on the Clintons; "Brave New Village," as well as the new age chapter entitled; "The New Age: We Are All Fascists Now!" there is a sub-chapter called "Hollywood Fascists" that is very interesting, perhaps should be read by anyone awestruck by Hollywood Movie Stars telling them how to vote. The author concludes with the reality that many conservatives fail to realize how far they've been coaxed towards fascism and what they can do to resist it in the future. I think you will enjoy this book, or hate it, depending on your political persuasion.

Hannity's radio show is a conservative, political talk show that features Hannity's views and opinions related to current issues and politicians. He is the second highest rated talk program, only behind The Rush Limbaugh Show, which leads into Hannity on many stations. The Sean Hannity talk show is strictly an opinion based program, however, his thoughts are given only after tirelessly studying the facts and presenting the truth. The show is now heard on many stations, reaching practically every large and small city in America.

Sean Hannity's first blockbuster book, Let Freedom Ring, secured his place as the most compelling and avidly followed young conservative voice in the country.
