NCmish's Book Club:

To provide a glimpse into what I find politically stimulating, I will post the books I am in the process of reading and a breif write-up. Though I have many favorite authors, rest assure you will not find any Hannity, Coulter, or Micheal Moore on my list.

Attention Conservatives!!!

WHERE THE RIGHT WENT WRONG chronicles how Beltway conservatives have abandoned their principles, and how a tiny cabal hijacked U.S. foreign policy, and have ignited a "war of civilizations" with the Islamic world that will leave America's military mired in the Middle East for a generation.

At the same time, these Republicans have forsaken the American worker and become a party to Big Government that sells its soul to the highest bidder.

A damning portrait of the present masters of the GOP, WHERE THE RIGHT WENT WRONG calls to task the Bush administration for its abandonment of true conservatism.

All the President's Spin, the first book from the editors of the acclaimed nonpartisan website Spinsanity, unmasks the tactics of deception and media manipulation that George W. Bush has used to sell his agenda to the American people.

From his campaigns for tax cuts to the debate over war in Iraq, President Bush has employed an unprecedented onslaught of half-truths and strategically ambiguous language to twist and distort the facts. Fritz, Keefer, and Nyhan's powerful critique of Bush's record of policy deception explains why the media has failed to hold him accountable and demonstrates the threat these tactics pose to honest political debate.

This is the essential book for every citizen who wants to understand how George W. Bush has misled the nation and why, if left unchallenged, all the President's spin could soon become standard practice -- a devastating development for our democracy.
