Global warming: the Left's last best chance to gain a stranglehold on our political system and economy For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to justify the lifestyle restrictions they want to impose. With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only "global governance" (Jacques Chirac's words) can tackle such problems. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism), Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left's manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes-and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and UN globalists endlessly bleat that "global warming" is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true. It's the ideal scare campaign for those who hate capitalism and love big government. For, as Horner explains, if global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could solve it. According to the logic of the greens' own numbers, no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of big government. Horner reveals the full anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-human agenda of today's environmentalists, dubbing them "green on the outside, red to the core." He details how they use strong-arm legal tactics-and worse-against those who dare to point out the weakness of their arguments for global warming. Along the way, he explodes ten top global warming myths, carefully examining the evidence to determine how much warming there really is and what is actually causing it. He exposes the lies that the environmental lobby routinely tells to make its case; the ways in which it is trying to impose initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol on an unwilling American public; and much more-including the green lobby's favorite politicians. It's time to stand up to the environmentalist industry and insist that human beings are not the enemy. In breezy, light-hearted, and always entertaining fashion, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism) gives you the facts you need to do so.

We've been duped. We were raised to think we could have it all. In college we were told that men weren't necessary. Pop culture told us that career, not family, came first. The idea of being a stay-at-home mom was for losers. And yet, are we happier than our mothers or grandmothers, who grew up before women were "liberated" by the sexual revolution? For many women, the answer is no. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism, Carrie Lukas, a young career woman and new mother, sets the record straight: correcting the lies women have been told and slamming the door on the screaming harpies of NOW, feminist professors, and the rest of the bra-burners who have done so much to wreck women's lives.

Deadly plagues have ripped across the globe for centuries and will continue to do so in the future. From the Black Death to smallpox and the Hong Kong flu, seven of the 10 worst plagues in history originated in China. But the COVID-19 pandemic was something entirely new: a genetically engineered pathogen that was deliberately released upon the world for the geopolitical profit of a Communist government. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Pandemics, Steven Mosher, a leading authority on China, devastates politically correct narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic and the deadliest plagues in history. With expert insight, he reveals: • Mountains of evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in a Wuhan lab and not a wet market • What life was like under plagues of the past and how these compare to the COVID-19 pandemic • How Communist governments benefit economically and strategically from international plagues • Chinese Communist Party source documents revealing viruses bioengineered to wreak global havoc The next pandemic may be the most devastating plague of all time. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Pandemics sounds the alarm to prepare for a dangerous pandemic future.

Think all the trouble in the Middle East started with the birth of Israel? Guess again. In this informative, iconoclastic book, veteran foreign correspondent Martin Sieff offers a jaw-dropping survey of the history and politics of a region that people know surprisingly little about, even though it's never off the front pages of the newspapers. The mainstream media and Ivy League academics only confuse matters by casting everything in the usual politically correct mold: Arab terrorists are just desperate freedom fighters, and the region's one free democracy-Israel-is the oppressor, not least because of its alliance with America. And if Islamic extremism is a problem, the establishment tells us, it's only because it's rooted in that source of all evils: religion. A different strain of political correctness has seeped into some minds on the right-most notably the Bush administration, which, so ready to buy into the egalitarian myths we are all taught, believed that Western-style democracy could flourish anywhere. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East, Sieff puts the lie to all these myths and clichés, giving you everything you need to know about the region to understand its past, its present, and its possible future. He explains, for example, how the British committed themselves to a Jewish homeland in Palestine because of an exaggerated belief in Zionism, why Arab-Israeli peace is impossible, why democracy and a Marshall Plan for the Middle East would only make things worse, and why Islamic fundamentalism isn't ancient, making it all the more dangerous.

Why Darwinism-like Marxism and Freudianism before it-is headed for extinction In the 1925 Scopes trial, the American Civil Liberties Union sued to allow the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. Seventy-five years later, in Kitzmiller v. Dover, the ACLU sued to prevent the teaching of an alternative to Darwin's theory known as "Intelligent Design"-and won. Why did the ACLU turn from defending the free-speech rights of Darwinists to silencing their opponents? Jonathan Wells reveals that, for today's Darwinists, there may be no other choice. Unable to fend off growing challenges from scientists, or to compete with rival theories better adapted to the latest evidence, Darwinism-like Marxism and Freudianism before it-is simply unfit to survive. Wells begins by explaining the basic tenets of Darwinism, and the evidence both for and against it. He reveals, for instance, that the fossil record, which according to Darwin should be teeming with "transitional" fossils showing the development of one species to the next, so far hasn't produced a single incontestable example. On the other hand, certain well-documented aspects of the fossil record-such as the Cambrian explosion, in which innumerable new species suddenly appeared fully formed-directly contradict Darwin's theory. Wells also shows how most of the other "evidence" for evolution- including textbook icons such as peppered moths, Darwin's finches, Haeckel's embryos, and the Tree of Life-has been exaggerated, distorted, and even faked. Wells then turns to the theory of intelligent design (ID), the idea that some features of the natural world, such as the internal machinery of cells, are too irreducibly complex to have resulted from unguided natural processes alone. In clear-cut layman's language, he reveals the growing evidence for ID coming out of scientific specialties from microbiology to astrophysics. As Wells explains, religion does play a role in the debate over Darwin-though not in the way evolutionists claim. Wells shows how Darwin reasoned that evolution is true because divine creation must be false-a theological assumption oddly out of place in a scientific debate. In other words, Darwinists' materialistic, atheistic assumptions rule out any theories but their own and account for their willingness to explain away the evidence-or lack thereof. Darwin is an emperor who has no clothes- but it takes a brave man to say so. Jonathan Wells, a microbiologist with two doctorates, is that brave man. Most textbooks on evolution are written by Darwinists with an ideological ax to grind. Brave dissidents-qualified scientists-who try to teach or write about intelligent design are silenced and sent to the academic gulag. But fear not: Jonathan Wells is a liberator. He unmasks the truth about Darwinism-why it is wrong and what the real evidence is. He also supplies a revealing list of "Books You're Not Supposed to Read" (as far as the Darwinists are concerned) and puts at your fingertips all the evidence you need to challenge the most closed-minded Darwinist. "Jonathan Wells is not only an expert on Darwinism and intelligent design, but he also has a gift for making complex issues easy to understand. He even manages to bring out the humor in this controversy. This is the book liberals don't want you to read." "The mainstream media likes to portray skeptics of Darwinism as bigoted and hopelessly ignorant. But biologist Jonathan Wells (who has PhDs from Berkeley and Yale) shows that many scientists simply can't alter their Darwinist worldview, and that the theory of intelligent design better explains the actual evidence we have for the development of life. On this fundamentally important issue that affects our schools, our politics, and our understanding of the world, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design is an absolute must-read.

What makes a president great? Academics, journalists, and popular historians agree: our greatest presidents are the ones who confronted a national crisis and mobilized the entire nation to face it. That's the conventional wisdom. The chief executives who are celebrated in textbooks and placed in the top echelon of presidents in surveys of experts are the bold leaders-the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts-who reshaped the United States in line with their grand "vision" for America. Unfortunately, along the way, these "great" presidents inevitably expanded government-and shrank our liberties. As the twentieth-century presidency has grown far beyond the bounds the Founders established for the office, the idea that our chief executive is obliged to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" has become a distant memory. Historian and celebrated Reagan biographer Steven F. Hayward reminds us that the Founders had an entirely different idea of greatness in the presidential office. The personal ambitions, populist appeals, and bribes paid to the voters with their own money that most modern presidents engage in would strike them as instances of the demagoguery they most feared-one of the great dangers to the people's liberty that they wrote the Constitution explicitly to guard against. The Founders, in contrast to today's historians, expected great presidents to be champions of the limited government established by the Constitution. Working from that almost forgotten standard of presidential greatness, Steven Hayward offers a fascinating off-the-beaten-track tour through the modern presidency, from the Progressive Era's Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. Along the way he serves up fresh historical insights, recalls forgotten anecdotes, celebrates undervalued presidents who took important stands in defense of the Constitution, and points the way to a revival of truly constitutional government in America. What you didn't learn from your history teacher but will find in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents includes: –Progressive hero Woodrow Wilson aired a pro–Ku Klux Klan movie at the White House –Calvin Coolidge, much mocked by liberal historians as a bland Babbitt, was the last president to write his own speeches, guided the country through years of prosperity and limited government, and was one of the most cultured men ever to live in the White House –Why Eisenhower's two biggest mistakes as president were, in his own words, "both sitting on the Supreme Court" –How, as president, JFK took mind-altering drugs, many of them prescribed by a physician he called Dr. Feelgood, who later lost his medical license for malpractice –Nixon's hysterically vilified Christmas bombing of North Vietnam in 1972 caused very few civilian casualties and compelled North Vietnam to negotiate an end to the Vietnam War –The "misunderestimated" George W. Bush read 186 books during his presidency, mostly nonfiction, biography, and history "Steven Hayward, one of my favorite historians and writers, has some pretty whacky ideas. For example, he thinks presidents should be graded on their loyalty to their oath of office. Why, it's just crazy enough to work! Read this book not only because it is entertaining, insightful, and informative but also because it's the perfect antidote to presidential grade inflation." "Hayward has produced a lucid book that is scholarly but not pedantic; acerbic in its criticisms, but never coarse." "One of the keys to restoring the government to its proper limits will be to have our presidents serve in their originally intended role as defenders of the Constitution rather than undermining it through endless expansions of the administrative state. It is surprising how seldom we evaluate presidents according to whether they live up to their oath of office, and we have Steven Hayward to thank for reminding us of the presidents

Participating in the economy is a part of everyday life; yet much of what is commonly accepted as economic fact is wrong. Keynesian schoolteachers and the liberal media have filled the world with politically correct errors that myth-busting professor Robert Murphy sets straight. Murphy explains hot topics like outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why they're not). Just like the other books in the PIG series, The Politically Incorrect Guideto Capitalism pulls no punches. Murphy defends the free market on such sensitive issues as safety regulations, racial discrimination, and child-labor laws, all in a breezy manner that is anything but textbook. From rent control to golden parachutes to where money came from in the first place, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism sets the record straight on everything you thought you knew about economics. Murphy starts with a basic explanation of what capitalism really is, and then dives fearlessly into hot topics like: • Why central planning has never worked and never will • How prices operate in a free market-and why socialist schemes like rent control always backfire • How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them • Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea • Why the free market is the best guard against racism • How capitalism will save the environment-and why Communist countries were the most polluted on earth • Raising taxes: why it is never "responsible" • Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the dehumanizing Welfare State • The single biggest myth underlying the public's support for government regulation of business • Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free competition • How tariffs and other restrictions "protect" privileged workers but make other Americans poorer • The IMF and World Bank: why they don't help poor countries The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics. With his twelve-step plan for understanding the free market, Murphy shows why conservatives should resist attempts to socialize America and fight spiritedly for the free market.

Unregulated immigration has led to an increase in crime, a loss of working class jobs, an inflated welfare state, and an elevated amount of terror threats on our home territory. The clash of differing emotions, facts, and opinions reveal that this issue is not simply a nationwide disagreement; it is an American crisis. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration, authors John Zmirak and Al Perrotta debunk the Left's most deceptive myths on this complex policy issue - and reveal the huge implications that lie ahead for our nation's future. Zmirak and Perrotta set the record straight on the history of American immigration, uncover the principles with which our forefathers migrated to America, affirm the respect with which migrants should treat our country if they wish to live here, and assert real solutions to the immigration crisis America faces. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration equips listeners with real-life statistics and information, and is packed with targeted arguments to help convince even the staunchest advocates for open borders that America needs to build "The Wall." You may think you know all about immigration, but in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration you'll learn: • Building "The Wall" would cost less than half of what we spend to educate illegal immigrants every year • Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $116 billion a year • 62% of naturalized immigrants are for the Democrats; only 25% are for the Republicans • Competition from immigrants costs American worker $450 billion a year • The Founders wanted to admit only immigrants who would make a net contribution-and assimilate • Millions of nineteenth-century immigrants who couldn't make it in American went back home • The percent of foreign-born in the United States today is the highest since World War I-and this time we're not doing "Americanization" • After Reagan's 1986 Amnesty the illegal population went from 3.2 million to 11 million • Over 700,000 foreign visitors to the United States in 2016 overstayed their visas • Eighty percent of Central American women and girls who enter the United States illegally are raped along the way • Non-citizens are only 9 percent of our population but 27 percent of federal prisoners • One hundred forty-seven million more people from around the world would like to move to the United States.

As presidential candidates sling dirt at each other, America desperately needs a few real heroes. Tragically, liberal historians and educators have virtually erased traditional American heroes from history. According to the Left, the Founding Fathers were not noble architects of America but selfish demagogues, and self-made entrepreneurs like Rockefeller were robber barons and corporate polluters. Instead of honoring great men from America's past, kids today now idolize rock stars, pro athletes, and Hollywood celebrities. In his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes, author Brion McClanahan rescues the legendary deeds of the greatest Americans and shows why we ought to venerate heroes like Captain John Smith, adventurer Daniel Boone, General Robert E. Lee, and many more. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes not only resuscitates America's forgotten heroes but sheds light on the Left's most cherished figures, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Kennedys. With biting wit and devastating detail, McClanahan strikes back against the multicultural narrative peddled by liberal historians who make heroes out of pop-culture icons and corrupt politicians. In America's hour of peril, McClanahan's book is a timely and entertaining call to remember the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who built it.

While the government claims to be a representative republic, somehow hot-button topics from gay marriage to the allocation of Florida's presidential electors always seem to be decided by unelected judges. What gives them the right to decide such issues? The judges say it's the Constitution. Author and law professor Kevin Gutzman shows that there is very little relationship between the Constitution ratified by the thirteen states more than two centuries ago and the "constitutional law" imposed upon us since then. Instead of the intended system of state-level decision makers and elected officials, judges have given us a centralized system in which bureaucrats and appointed officials make most of the important policies. The Constitution guarantees our rights and freedoms, but activist judges are threatening those very rights because of the Supreme Court's willingness to substitute its own opinions for the perfectly constitutional laws enacted by "we, the people" through our elected representatives. As Professor Gutzman shows, constitutional law is supposed to apply the Constitution's plain meaning to prevent judges, presidents, and congresses from overstepping their authority. If we want to return to the Founding Fathers' vision of the Republic, if we want the Constitution enforced in the way it was explained to the people at the time of its ratification, then we have to overcome the "received wisdom" about what constitutional law is. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution is an important step in that direction.

They were the greatest generation in American history. Yet how much do you really know about the Founding Fathers? And how much of what you "know" is actually myth perpetuated by leftist history professors who dismiss the Founders as wealthy, racist, sexist, dead-white-males whose principles deserve to be as dead as they are? Here to rescue the reputations of our Founding Fathers from the plague of modern political correctness isThe Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers. Author and professor Brion McClanahan profiles Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, and other important Founders; traces the key issues of the day and shows how they dealt with them; and in the process details the Founders' deep faith, commitment to the cause of independence, impeccable character, and visionary political ideals. Even better, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers proves that the Founders had a better understanding of the problems we face today than do our own hopelessly liberal and painfully self-serving members of Congress. McClanahan shows that if you want real and relevant insights into the issues of banking, war powers, executive authority, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, states' rights, gun control, judicial activism, trade, and taxes, you'd be better served reading the Founders than you would be watching congressional debates on C-SPAN or reading the New York Times. That makes The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers much more than simply a restoration of a bit of our patrimony, reconnecting us with the greatest political thinkers in our history-as urgently needed as that is. McClanahan shows that it was from their debates-and their bedrock conservative principles-that we secured our liberty. He argues that only by understanding their principles will we be able to keep the freedom that Americans have cherished for generations. That makes this a vital guide to restoring a sane, sober, Constitutional sense of responsibility to today's public debates.

Nothing offends liberals and leftists more than Western imperialism-it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, the biggest empire the world has ever known, covering at its height a quarter of the globe's surface and ruling a quarter of the world's population. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire, bestselling author H. W. Crocker III exposes-in brawling, rambunctious style-how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history. In this new PI Guide listeners will discover: • How, far from being anti-imperialists, America's colonists were more British than the British-demanding their rights as Englishmen and envisioning a continent-wide empire (a word the Founders used with approval) • How Gandhi praised the British Empire for what it had done for India • How the British Empire handled today's troubled hot spots-like Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan • What the world would be like if the British Empire were still governing a quarter of the globe-hint: everyone would be a lot better off So strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of history's most colorful events. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire provides a panoramic and provocative view of four hundred years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain.

Crocker busts myths and shatters stereotypes as he profiles eminent and colorful military generals, including the noble Lee, the controversial Sherman, the indefatigable Grant, the legendary Stonewall Jackson, and the notorious Nathan Bedford Forrest. Along the way he reveals little-known truths, like why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African Americans than Lincoln did; how, if there had been no Civil War, the South would have abolished slavery peaceably; and how the Confederate States of America might have helped the Allies win World War I sooner. Crocker culminates his tome in the most politically-incorrect chapter of all: "What If the South Had Won?" This is the PI Guide that every Civil War buff and Southern partisan will want on their bookshelf, in their classroom, and under their Christmas tree.

You think you know about Islam, but did you know that Islam teaches that Muslims must wage war to impose Islamic law on non-Muslim states? Or that American Muslim groups are engaged in a huge cover-up of Islamic doctrine? These and other "politically incorrect" facts are revealed by Robert Spencer in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer traces the history of Islam, the teachings of the Qur'an, and the Crusades and reveals the myths and realities related to Islamic law, the treatment of women, and the continuing jihad. This is a fast-paced, politically incorrect tour that you will not hear about in school or on the evening news, but it will give you all the information you need to understand the true nature of the global conflict America faces today.

Christianity, Judaism, dead white males, old-fashioned morality, the traditional family, tradition itself-everything the liberals hate can be summed up in two words: Western civilization. Here is the ultimate Politically Incorrect Guide: a sprightly, informative summary of the original source of all things politically incorrect from Moses, Caesar, and Christ, to Dante, Thomas More, and the Founding Fathers. Western civilization is under attack. At universities and in the media, professors and pundits decry Western civilization as exploitative, destructive, and without value. But fear not: coming to its defense is Professor Anthony Esolen's The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization. This PI Guide will knock down the relativist arguments and show how the West laid the cornerstones for all of modern civilization, including historical, artistic, and intellectual achievements. Using historical evidence and compelling arguments, Esolen proves why we not only owe it to history but also to ourselves to set the record straight and respectfully acknowledge Western civilization's vital role in shaping our values and our world.

Liberals scoff when conservatives denounce Obama and his policies as socialist. After all, they argue, Obama isn't Stalin and America is nothing like the Soviet Union. But socialism doesn't always resemble the Berlin Wall or the Iron Curtain, as National Review editor Kevin Williamson proves in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism. In this new PI Guide, Williamson reveals the truth: despite what the liberal politicians and leftist pundits would have you believe, the policies coming out of Washington today are nothing more than socialism disguised as equality and justice for all. Tracing socialism back to its roots, Williamson defines this misunderstood ideology, explains the different forms socialism takes on, and shows how it is thriving right here in the United States in the form of "Obamacare," financial regulations, and more. Offering conservatives the political and rhetorical ammunition they need to combat the liberal lies about one of the most misunderstood ideologies in modern history, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism reveals why everything socialism purports to do, the free market does better.

Obama isn't giving fireside chats (yet), and we're not waiting in breadlines, but to listen to the mainstream media, we're on the cusp of Great Depression 2.0 and Obama's "new New Deal" is the only thing that can save us. But here to remind us of the lessons that we should have learned isThe Politically Incorrect Guideto the Great Depression and the New Deal. In this timely new PI Guide, economist Robert Murphy reveals the stark truth that free-market failure didn't cause the Great Depression and the New Deal didn't cure it. Shattering myths and politically correct lies, he tells why World War II didn't help the economy or get us out of the Great Depression, why it took FDR to make the Depression "great," and why Herbert Hoover was more like Obama and less like Bush than the liberal media would have you believe. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal is a modern-day fireside lesson in our past, current, and future economic history. Free-market believers and capitalists everywhere should have this on their bookshelves and in their briefcases.

The Bible remains the bestselling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion people (Christians and Jews) to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson argues that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization, from the recognition of basic human rights and belief in limited government to authentic feminism and the development of empirical science. He shows that it is more a "culture-war" book than a work of religious apologetics. Though the Bible is today under relentless attack by left-wing academics, novelists, and screenwriters to justify their own political agendas, Hutchinson fires back in this fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of the most important book ever written. This is a book atheists will fear and honest inquirers and believers will relish.

Think the United States lost the Vietnam War? Think again. No war in American history is so shrouded in obfuscation and myth as the Vietnam War. "Vietnam" has entered into our national memory as a byword for disaster, usually accompanied by the word "quagmire," and the specter of the war has haunted our foreign policy discussions ever since. Left-leaning historians with a political agenda, aided and abetted by the liberal media, have convinced the world that for America, the Vietnam War was a tragic and dismal failure. Liberal pundits and leftist professors have been telling lies and getting away with it-despite the fact that the war was televised and has been the subject of innumerable books and studies. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War, Phillip Jennings finally sets the record straight. Jennings, who fought in Vietnam as a marine pilot and later as a pilot for the CIA's Air America, shatters the near universally accepted myths and politically correct lies that have for decades obscured the truth about what happened in Vietnam. Jennings has made a lifetime's study of the war, and here he provides the surprising truth, backing it up with facts that the liberal pundits ignore. He demonstrates that the United States did not lose the Vietnam War-in fact, we won it. Far from failing dismally, the United States achieved its goal in Vietnam: we stopped the spread of Communism. Jennings explains how the cultural chaos of the 1960s and 1970s negatively influenced the Vietnam War, not the other way around. Without the sacrifices made and the courage displayed by our military in Vietnam, the world would be a very different place today. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War reveals: • Who won the war? The United States military lost more than 58,000 men in Vietnam; the North Vietnamese military lost more than 1.1 million-and Communism isn't exactly rolling up the map of Asia any more • How John F. Kennedy's "firm stand against Communist aggression" took the form of an unclear, waffling policy that led to a series of blunders by liberalism's "best and brightest" foreign policy and defense advisers • How Richard Nixon effectively won the war, while rapidly withdrawing US troops-only to watch a liberal Congress throw America's victory away • How liberal Democrats continue to try, outrageously, to present their scuttling of South Vietnam as moral and political wisdom The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War at last reveals the truth about the battles, players, and policies of one of the most controversial wars in US history.

The worst idea in history is back! Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like? Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of Millennials would vote for a socialist for president. They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder-because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it's always going to be different this time. Renowned scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor unmasks communism, exposing its blood-drenched history and the strange sway it has long exercised over much of American media and education. He reveals: Stalin alone killed six times as many people as Hitler The Khmer Rouge slaughtered more than a third of the population of Cambodia Communists in Eastern Europe and worldwide tortured Christians Communist Party USA (CPUSA) was directly controlled by the Soviets Obama's CIA director voted for the CPUSA candidate for president in 1980Unrepentant sixties-era communists are educating American teachers today The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism debunks the world's worst ideology, sounds the alarm about its disturbing popular resurgence, and arms you with facts you need to refute its appeal.

Less freedom. More regulation. Higher costs. Make no mistake: those are the surefire consequences of the modern global warming campaign waged by political and cultural elites, who have long ago abandoned fact-based science for dramatic fearmongering in order to push increased central planning.

Everything-well, almost everything-you know about American history is wrong, because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not; Professor Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. Professor Woods' book reveals facts that you won't be, or never were, taught in school. It tells you about the "Books You're Not Supposed to Read" and takes you on a fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of American history that will give you all the information you need to battle and confound left-wing professors, neighbors, and friends.

The latest installment in the New York Times bestselling Politically Incorrect Guide series expands on the hugely successful Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. Far from being the backwater of prejudice and ignorance that the liberal media would have you believe, the South has always been the center of American culture. From the founding fathers-Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and many others-to the frontiersmen who tamed the West, to the country music and NASCAR-loving, Bible-thumping heart of "red state" America, the South is the quintessence of what's original, unique, and most-loved about American culture. And with its emphasis on traditional values, family, faith, military service, good manners, small government, and independent-minded people, the South should certainly rise again.

Another entry in the best-selling, irreverent, hard-hitting Politically Incorrect Guide series! Economics from a rational, conservative viewpoint-that is, a refreshing look at how money actually works from an author who knows the score, and how the law of economics are frequently broken and derailed by pernicious leftists and virtue signaling progressives. Markets Rule. Socialism Sucks. Time to wise up. Think economics is the Dismal Science? No more! Here is the lowdown on the biases, superstitions, and outright falsehoods that permeate and corrupt economics and economic policy. Here's the skinny on the poisonous effects of socialism and crony capitalism. Even better, here is an irreverent but clear-eyed explanation of how markets and economies work and how government intervention so often doesn't, routinely makes things worse, and how it's usually the cause of economic crises in the first place. Here's how the power of the free market bursts forth and conquers, despite the worms, leeches, slings and arrows of socialism and anarchy trying to do in human creativity and ingenuity at every turn. How the myth of so-called "market failure" is total bunk. Why every attempt by government to stabilize the economy seems to put it in a tailspin instead. How corporations cozy up to big government and use regulation to create monopoly profits. Why "stimulus spending" makes us poor and hands the power-seeking goons of the governing class even more control over our lives. Plus, here's a chance to supercharge your economic IQ with concentrated wisdom from masters of market scholarship Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, and more! A no-nonsense, irreverent guide to economics from a legendary teacher, thinker, and Mises Institute scholar that may be the best book on economics since Adam Smith visited a pin factory, figured out how the division of labor works, and wrote it all down in one handy volume!

In this blast from the past, critically acclaimed playwright and journalist Jonathan Leaf reveals the politically incorrect truth about one of the most controversial decades in history: the 1960s. Did you know that the civil rights movement did little to improve the lives of average African Americans or that most Americans actively supported the Vietnam War and the draft? The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties proves the anti—Vietnam War sentiment and free love slogans that supposedly "defined" the decade were just a small part of the leftist counterculture. The mainstream culture was more politically incorrect-but you'll never hear that from a liberal pundit or read it in a politically correct textbook.

These days, English professors prefer to teach anything and everything but classic English literature. They indoctrinate their students in Marxism and radical feminism, show them Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11, and teach them the "post-colonial literature" of South Asia. When they do teach a genuine work of English or American literature, they use it to propagandize against our "oppressive" Western culture. What PC English professors don't want you to learn from: • Beowulf: If we don't admire heroes, there's something wrong with us • Chaucer: Chivalry has contributed enormously to women's happiness • Shakespeare: Some choices are inherently destructive-it's just built into the nature of things • Milton: Our intellectual freedoms are Christian, not anti-Christian, in origin • Jane Austen: Most men would be improved if they were more patriarchal than they actually are • Dickens: Reformers can do more harm than the injustices they set out to reform • T. S. Eliot: Tradition is necessary to culture • Flannery O'Connor: Even modern American liberals aren't immune to original sin The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature takes you on a fascinating tour through our great literature-in all its politically incorrect glory-to give you the great literary education you were denied in school.
