An insightful look into the Republican mind

My California: Journeys By Great Writers
Michael Chabon
Angel City Press
, 2004
I loved this book (and I normally don't read short stories)
I loved this book too, as I see others have, and this prompted me to write a review. I have tried to give it as a gift whenever possible and will continue to do so, as I think it is a great idea to benefit CAC. I wish local bookstores would display it more ...

Very handy reference
Read it, know it, live it. If things keep going they they have with people not caring about the Constitution, we won't have. You know the adage, ignore it and it will go away, it's very true for the constitution. The 2008 RNC is a standout example of this where the ...

The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Thomas Jefferson
Applewood Books(MA)
, 2006
An interesting book from an historic standpoint.
This book is historically important, and used in US military schools as a template of good values. This book is merely a cut an paste of most of the "interesting values" in some of the gospels accepted and selected by the church. I do wish that Thomas Jefferson ...

"Men of Men" (born of Women)
I will never be able to write a suitable review for this book - the scope of what lies between it's covers is far too great to do justice to in a review, and I am vastly inadequate to the task in any event. So, the one I write today comes from the heart - as one of ...
The Jefferson Bible, The Life and Morals of Jesus

A "Reasoned" Approach to Religious Liberty

Notes on the State of Virginia (Penguin Classics)
Thomas Jefferson
Penguin Classics
, 1998
Highly recommended for H.S and college students & others
The book is written much like an epic poem- with lists of river, towns, economic conditions etc in 1780s. But also much more: His feeling on race. He obviously did not hate blacks, proposed a theory that they were less intelligent, had an aesthetic view of man akin ...
