Book
Let Freedom Ring
by Sean Hannity
As Americans, we face two fundamental questions: First, are we truly prepared to fight this new war to wipe out terrorism and terrorist regimes, and win it decisively—no matter what sacrifices it requires or how long it takes? Second, are we once again prepared to teach our children the fundamental principles and values that make this country great—the values that make this country worth fighting for, living for, and dying for? Sean Hannity is the hottest new phenomenon in TV and talk radio today. His gutsy, take-no-prisoners interviews and commentary on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes have made him one of cable television's most popular personalities. And his ascendance to the top of the talk radio world with ABC Radio's The Sean Hannity Show has won him a huge and devoted following that includes not only conservatives but anyone else who values straight talk over pandering and excuses. Now, in Let Freedom Ring, Sean Hannity offers a survey of the world—political, social, and cultural—as he sees it. Devoting special attention to 9/11, the war on terror, and the continuing threat we face at home and abroad, he makes clear that the greatest challenge we have to overcome may not be an attack from overseas, but the slow compromising of our national character. And he asks why, particularly in this time of war, should we entrust our future to the voices of the Left—the very people who have spent decades ravaging so many of our core values and traditions? Our nation, as Hannity reminds us, was founded on the idea of freedom. And in order to protect our freedoms, he argues, we must stand vigilant against liberal attempts to compromise our strengths. From our military and intelligence forces, to our borders and airports, to our unified commitment to root out terrorists at home and abroad, he reveals how our strongest lines of defense have come under attack—by left-wing voices within our government, media, schools, and elsewhere. And he shows how even domestic issues like taxation, education, patriotism, and the family have been exploited by liberals with their own agendas—with potentially disastrous results. Filled with the commonsense commentary and passionate argument that have made Sean Hannity the most compelling conservative voice since Rush Limbaugh, Let Freedom Ring is an urgent call to arms. For, as Hannity warns, "We are engaged in a war of ideas. And civilization is at stake."
Book
Soft Money
by E. L. Burton
The world is made up of all sorts of colors, all intertwined to form a magnificent creation. The greens of the grass and trees, the blues of the sky and ocean: these are the physical beauties that man just takes for granted. But what about the other colors of the world, the ones that can only be seen with the heart, such as love, fear, ignorance, hatred, faith, trust, joy and friendship? This book is about such a person. Challenged by the loss of sight at birth, a young woman recounts some of her life struggles in order to inspire others. Greatly encouraged by her parents not to give up in anything that she tried to do, this woman learned at an early age to be persistent, even when the situation looked slim. This book shines with some of her funny experiences, as well as some of her frustrating and horrifying ones. Even so, all that this young woman faces, all that she is able to accomplish, she dedicates her thanks and appreciation to first Almighty God, and then to her wonderful parents. For her parents, she says, are her heroes, and she wants the world to know this. Hence the title of this book.
