    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

ObamaNation - for conservatives seeking political clarity

Readers have been purchasing these through my Amazon link - along with apparently a host of Americans, as they rank #1, #2 and #30 respectively at Amazon, giving me hope that the heart of our nation is not swept up in what Laura Ingraham calls "Glowbama."

I appreciate the Glen Beck released his book in paperback, making it affordable when we need it.

We need to become experts at articulating the conservative point of view - and passing those ideals and the ability to defend them logically on to our children before they leave our homes.

Remember, use your library if you can - but if you want it now, please use my Amazon link. For other helpful books - which have been out longer and so may be available in your library or through PaperbackSwap - check under Barbara's Picks: Political Clarity in the left sidebar.

Also, please email me with recommendations of anything you'd like to see added to Barbara's Picks - along with a brief review if you like.

Love,

I disagree with "using your library" - public libraries are just another example of the government interfering in the free market to put businesses at a disadvantage. If you're reading a copy of Glenn Beck's book that was purchased with tax dollars, you're not really following conservative principles are you?

[Good point.]</strong.

Funny that you show those three. Since January, my husband has read two and just picked up Glenn Beck's last week!

John, a private lending library is easily organized among friends, neighbors, or church members, and completely bypasses your objection.
