THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO AMERICAN HISTORY
by Thomas Woods, Ph.D.
published: 2004
.
. . . REALITY TV PROGRAMMING 24/7!" This would seem to be contemporary America's answer to Patrick Henry's famous rallying cry. I am under no delusion that America will ever recover from Her present condition: the dogs of Socialism have "marked" all of the territory well and their program of indoctrination has been too thorough and far-reaching -- polluting minds in every public sector -- to be turned back now. It comes as no surprise to me and others who understand how the Socialists operate, that so many reviewers have condemned this book (with many obviously not having read it).
.
In his excellent book, DEDICATION AND LEADERSHIP, former communist publisher Douglas Hyde reveals the organized, systematic attack that Socialists mass against anything detrimental to their cause. And John Stormer in his essential tome, NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON: 25 YEARS LATER, relates how these same lovely folks infiltrate book review panels in order to influence the public reception or rejection of certain publications. A quick glance through the reviews on the product page at Amazon.com testifies to their handiwork.
.
Obviously, however, I'm not implying that every negative review that appears there originates with a card-carrying communist. Clearly some of these people simply wouldn't recognize the truth even if it used their head for a bulletin board!
.
Anybody who denounces this book as being Republican apologetics has either never read it (just following The Daily Worker's marching orders), or else they have no more comprehension of the English language than does the "undocumented" immigrant living next door to you!
.
THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO AMERICAN HISTORY is an effective general overview that illustrates the orignial concept behind our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC and the abuses and usurpations that both Democrat AND Republican administrations have committed against "The Supreme Law Of The Land" (the U.S. Constitution) in reconfiguring America into EXACTLY the sort of country that the Revolutionaries, the first American patriots, fought to divorce themselves from. (F.Y.I., George W. Bush is also no friend to the Constitution that he has sworn to uphold and protect!)
.
I wish this book had been available when I first took it upon myself to learn about my country. It was a circuitous route of intense study that eventually led me to many of the same conclusions represented in this excellent book. While my acquaintance with Indian Affairs and Antitrust issues were minimal, I can confirm the great accuracy of Thomas Woods' book in the areas in which I have considerable knowledge.
.
The writing of Woods is so clear and the book is so reader-friendly formatted that his erudition could be easily understood by most any high school student. This will be particularly appreciated by readers who previously believed that the U.S. Constitution was a document not apprehended by the common mind. THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO AMERICAN HISTORY would still be worth acquiring if all you sought was a basic knowledge of Constitutional principles. Do you want an idea of how far the U.S. has strayed from Constitutional limitations and into totalitarian government? Consider this passage from page 26:
.
"For Thomas Jefferson [the 10th Amendement] was the cornerstone of the entire Constitution... Thomas Jefferson determined the constitutionality of proposed legislation on this basis: If he did not find the power spelled out in Article 1, Section 8, then it remained reserved to the states. It would be un-Constitutional for the federal government to exercise the proposed power. If the Tenth Amendment were still taken seriously, most of the federal government's present activities would not exist. That's why no one in Washington ever mentions it."
.
THOMAS WOODS, JR., holds a bachelor's degree in history from Harvard and a Master's and Ph.D. from Columbia University. He's a contributor to 5 encyclopedias and dozens of scholarly periodicals. CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL (one of only a very few TRUE patriots in Washington) says, "Professor Woods heroically rescues real history from the politically correct memory hole. Every American should read this book."
.
Will Rogers once said that, "The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so." This book is a welcome corrective, but this is just TRUTH 101 -- the first step to becoming a responsible American citizen. Step Two is to remove all deceiving distractions by killing your Boob Tube and Talk Radio (yes, especially the political Talk Radio) and begin reading. See my guide, 'BECOME AN "EDUCATED" AMERICAN PATRIOT' and read the books I've recommended there. Don't join The John Birch Society, but be sure to visit their impressive site at The New American. Also go to Need To Know News, and you'll be well on your way to becoming another Patrick Henry.

At this time, approaching from opposite directions are two trains: the Liberty Train and the Tyranny Train. They will each be pulling into their respective stations before long. My friend, at which depot will you be found waiting?

THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO DARWINISM AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN
by Jonathan Wells, Ph.D.
published: 2006
.
Q: “Is it (primordial) soup yet?”
A: “No, son. And it never will be.”
.
The following Letter To The Editor written by a Mr. Kaiser and published in the May 29th 2004 edition of The Arizona Republic newspaper perfectly sums up the current scientific and political milieu:
.
“I was a science geek growing up. Like my friends, I believed what I was told in school about Evolution. In fact, for most of my life, evolution was a non-issue. Evolution was simply a fact -- a fact that nicely complemented my atheistic lifestyle.
.
“However, all this changed when I accepted a challenge to investigate evidence that was contrary to Evolution. Like you (no doubt), I fully expected to find a set of frivolous, pseudo-scientific arguments from religious zealots. What I found instead shook my worldview to the core.
.
“So why is only one side of this two-sided debate presented in our public schools? Is it, as we’re so often told, because religion has no place in the science classroom? No. The real reason is fear. Fear that if both sides of the debate are equally and fairly presented to our students, Evolution would lose -- hands down. Now that would be geeky.”
.
Like the other P.I.G.s that I have read, I found “THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO DARWINISM AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN” to be well written and organized. I had already studied this subject sufficiently that my eyes (irreducibly complex organs that they are) were not newly opened, but the confidence in my intellectual position and the rightness of my stance was further strengthened.
.
I wholeheartedly recommend this P.I.G. to anyone who’s asking the questions, “Where did I come from?” and “Am I my monkey’s keeper?” While the book makes plain the controversy between Darwinism and Intelligent Design, and explains the arguments and counterarguments, their strengths and weaknesses, it was the heightened political situation that has arisen in recent years that was a little bit new to me. I was aware that there was a big feud that’s been brewing, but the volatile attitude that Darwinists now exhibit toward any scientist who even mentions the words “Intelligent Design” under his or her breath has developed into a white-hot intensity. (Well, at least Darwinists can now point to SOMETHING that has incontrovertibly “developed” in the name of Darwinism.) It’s really heated up in the nation’s science labs, and some of those Darwinists are now really hot under the collar. This is due, no doubt, to that other scientifically established fact: Global Warming. (Ha!-Ha!-Ha! Sorry. Sometimes I just crack me up.)
.
Yes, lots of facts and myths are explored and exploded in THE P.I.G. TO DARWINISM AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN. You really should read it. Although this P.I.G. is more up-to-date and explores the current bitter political situation that this debate has engendered, I believe my favorite book of this type remains the 1999 publication, TORNADO IN A JUNKYARD by James Perloff, as it is leavened with a trace more humor. But while there is obviously some overlap, I’d also say that one of these books should not be read in exclusion to the other, as they both explore some aspects of this debate which are unique unto themselves.
.
According to THE P.I.G. TO DARWINISM AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN, the Darwinian dogmatist, Biology professor Paul Z. Myers of the University of Minnesota, posted the following on his blog: “The only appropriate response should involve some form of righteous fury, much butt-kicking, and the public firing of some teachers, many schoolboard members, and vast numbers of sleazy far-right politicians ... It’s time for scientists to break out the steel-toed boots and brass knuckles, and get out there and hammer on the lunatics and idiots.”
.
Hey, professor Myers! While I’m not and never will be a politician (thank you very much!), I’m definitely a “sleazy far-right lunatic”. So, why don’t you show them scientists how it’s done, professor? Why don’t you fold up your eyeglasses, cover your microscope, secure your pocket protector, and drag your (brass) knuckles out here to the desert and start with me? (Sheesh! Myers himself might actually be the best argument AGAINST “Intelligent” Design that I’ve ever encountered!)

THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO SCIENCE
by Tom Bethell
copyright: 2005
.
In 1983, One-Hit Wonder Thomas Dolby saw his one hit, “She Blinded Me With Science”, go to #5 on the Billboard charts. Of course, Dolby’s song had something a bit different in mind, but in fact, one surely can be blinded by science. And most Americans have been! Actually, ol’ Bob Dylan got it right, too, in his song, “Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others)”, when he sings, “Don’t put my faith in nobody, not even a scientist.” (Dolby 'n' Dylan, two great names that go great together.)
.
I gotta say, these Politically Incorrect Guides (PIGs) to various controversial subjects that the Regnery Company has been publishing in recent years for the common man and woman are the dog’s bark. (That’s even better'n the cat’s meow!) They cut through all the politically correct liberal crapola and deliver the goods in a very accessible format that even a high school student brainwashed by the federal education system could understand.
.
Man, I wish these were available when I was in school! They would have saved me many years in the process of deprogramming myself. As it is, I had to slog through a lengthy and tortuous self-initiated period of discovery -- entailing mucho book larnin’ -- before I was able to fully understand and appreciate just how badly I had been deLIBerately deceived by the socialists who rule every thread of our socioeconomic fabric. If these PIGs had been published thirty years ago, I never would have been suckled on swines’ slops, and I would have become a NEO of the political matrix while still a teenager.
.
THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO SCIENCE by Tom Bethell is the third PIG book I acquired (having been previously impressed by the PIGs to American History and Feminism), and this one, like its predecessors, contains eye-opening and mind-piercing illuminations that will awaken its readers like a golden beam of sunlight shining through a hole in the dark curtains of Liberalism and bathing the sleep-sewn eyelids with the cold, hard facts of warm truth. If I had kids in school, you can be certain that they would have PIGs in their bookcase!
.
Is it only coincidental that all of the misinformation spoon-fed to children in the public education system and media-fed to their parents, almost without exception, leads to a degraded perspective of God’s Handiwork, and of the Constitutional Republic conceived and constructed by this country’s Founding Dads? Yet conversely it leads to a celebration of, and a shove toward, Secular Humanism and Marx’s Socialism. Do you think that maybe -- just maybe -- full-blooded Communists have infiltrated the highest positions in American politics, American media, American education, American economics, and American science, and have been promoting their kindred fools from within the ranks decade after decade? No? Not possible? Someone give that man strong, black coffee... intravenously!
.
The PIG To Science does not make the accusation that I just did, but in a few places it does point out how science has been largely hijacked by political forces, and those forces often seem to have a liberal political and social agenda. For instance, regarding the concept of Global Warming, Bethell observes in the Introduction that “some of the alarmists have a political agenda -- to restrain U.S. economic growth, for example.”
.
I know from my own studies (I read books because TV is for maroons) that a good deal of the information contained in the PIG To Science can be found between other covers, but this book brings all of the most pertinent facts together into one book of over 250 pages of easily assimilated text, plus footnotes for further study and an index for future referencing. And even with as much reading as I do, I learned plenty o’ stuffs from this PIG. Here is the lowdown on facts that the media somehow forgot to mention (year after year after year after year) about nuclear energy, DDT, biodiversity and endangered species, AIDS, cloning, stem cell and cancer research, the religion vs. science myth, Evolution, and Global Warming. (OK, maybe Al Gore didn’t really invent the internet, but he does deserve to be acknowledged for helping to “invent” Global Warming! Every stooge has his day.)
.
There’s just no excuse for us to be running around with misinformation and disinformation clogging our little American pea brains anymore; the truth IS available. (And after you’ve read the PIG To Science and are satisfied that I did not mislead you, take my equally enthusiastic recommendation to heart and read WORLD WITHOUT CANCER by G. Edward Griffin, and TORNADO IN A JUNKYARD by James Perloff.) Just think, my fellow thinker, you are only one book away from being able to assertively tell the next liberal charlatan scientist you meet to “shove your Global Warming in your Bunsen burner and smoke it!”
