			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/RUSH-PAUL9.jpg" alt="" title="Killing Room" width="216" height="309" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4878" />The Killing Room is a psychological thriller taking place sometime in post-9/11 America. The premise is that the US Government is taking in volunteers to take a series of tests that will challenge the psyche of the human brain. Four volunteers are brought into a large room with a table and several chairs that are all bolted into the concrete floor. The volunteers are told that the examination will take approximately 8 hours and they will all be paid $250 for their compliance. </p>
<p>After the briefing the instructor shoots one of the four volunteers in the face and leaves the other three locked in the room with the corpse to complete a short series of tests. At the end of each test the government picks out one of the candidates based on how they performed or reacted to the situation and murders them thinning out the herd until there are two candidates left. The ultimate goal is to find people who have proven that they will sacrifice their lives for the greater good. Based on their study they find that one in every 20 Americans is willing to make this sacrifice and they choose these people to create and indoctrinate an army of American suicide bombers so that the US can, &#8220;fight fire with fire&#8221; with their fleet of &#8220;civilian weapons.&#8221; </p>
<p>The Killing Room was released in 2009 and  MTV&#8217;s Larry Carroll called it the &#8220;Best film at the Sundance Film Festival.&#8221; I watched the movie shortly after it was released and then again last night. It&#8217;s a great movie about government tyranny and government sponsored terror. Although The Killing Room is fiction, it is loosely based on an illegal study that the United States government conducted between the early 1950&#8242;s through the late 1960&#8242;s under the direction of the CIA. Fortunately, once President Gerald Ford learned of its existence he issued an executive order that, in part, banned the US Governments &#8220;experimentation with drugs on human subjects, except with the informed consent, in writing and witnessed by a disinterested party, of each such human subject&#8230;&#8221; Later, Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan passed other bans that expanded the restrictions on any human subjects. </p>
<p>The study, was conducted on citizens of both the United States and Canada and used illegal, hard drugs including LSD, heroin, morphine, MDMA, mescaline, psilocybin, scopolamine, marijuana, alcohol, sodium pentothal, ergine and other harmful chemicals in an effort to manipulate the human mind and gain control over their thoughts. Even though the people were all volunteers they were never informed as to the exact nature of the drug they were being given until after the fact. The United States CIA also used isolation techniques, verbal and sexual abuse, and various other forms of torture on their own citizens. The casualties of these experiments are imposable to total because the CIA destroyed most of their research data, however most all the subjects were released back to the public addicted to these harmful drugs that the government got them hooked on. </p>
<p>Such experimentation would be expected of the Nazi party in Germany but not in the United States of America. Tragically these tests were conducted in the United States and they cost the American taxpayers an estimated $10 million or more in its near 20 year stint. The Killing Room is an excellent movie because it exposes the potential threat the our own government can pose on its citizens and can educate them on immoral tests that the government has already conducted on Americans &#8211; this is a must see film!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/walterblock.jpg" alt="" title="walter block" width="211" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4282" /> In this unique book, economics professor Walter Block defends people who follow controversial, but victimless, practices. Each chapter is devoted to a different type of person &#8211; most of whom the average American would consider the lowest of the low. Pimps, drug pushers, blackmailers, ticket scalpers, dishonest cops, slumlords, litterers, fat capitalist pigs, and child labor employers to name a few of the more than 30 practices discussed in this book.</p>
<p>After reading &#8220;Defending&#8221;, one is not meant to come away with a new found appreciation for sex workers, outlaws or cheats, it is merely a book meant to make you think &#8211; and it does just that. It is meant to release you from the bonds of mainstream thinking and get you to open your mind and ask yourself, &#8220;why is this practice so bad?&#8221; It teaches you to think for yourself and how to stand up and defend your own positions. After reading this book I came away with a great respect for Dr. Block because through his book I had received a great lesson in critical thinking.</p>
<p>If you want to read an entertaining, politically incorrect book that really makes you open your mind, read &#8220;Defending the Undefendable&#8221; by Walter Block. Regardless of your opinion of the practices discussed within its pages you will find yourself enjoying its contents immensely. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Defending-Undefendable-Walter-Block/dp/1933550171/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1316094074&#038;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Go to Amazon.com and order this book today!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/liberty-defined.jpg" alt="" title="liberty-defined" width="209" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3668" /> In Liberty Defined, Dr. Ron Paul spells out simple solutions and principled positions on 50 important issues. It is a quick, interesting and entertaining read. It is a phenomenal book to give to friends and family who haven&#8217;t fully switched over to the side of liberty yet &#8211; the chapters are short and to the point and won&#8217;t bore the reader by delving into the deeper, philosophical, esoteric minutiae that would likely result in a neophyte putting the book down and never picking it up again. Liberty Defined is even a good read for those who have long been on the side of freedom and a supporter of Ron Paul&#8217;s message as there are plenty of little gems in each chapter that many of us have never heard or thought of ourselves. Regardless of where you are in your political journey, order this book &#8211; you won&#8217;t be disappointed!</p>
<p>Each of the 50 issues are extremely interesting and relevant, however, I particularly enjoyed a few chapters because of the fact that they are issues that are rarely discussed in our political realm from a philosophical viewpoint. These were the chapters about: Conscription, Democracy, Discrimination, Marriage and Zionism. What were your favorite chapters? You haven&#8217;t read it yet!? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Defined-Essential-Issues-Freedom/dp/145550145X" target="_blank">Swing over to Amazon, buy it and read it today!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/witch1.jpg" alt="" title="atlas shrugged" width="324" height="324" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3659" />There are millions of ways to divide the population into two groups. Some people have read ATLAS SHRUGGED and some people haven&#8217;t. Fortunately for both groups, this epic tome is being made into a trilogy of movies, part one of which has recently been released.</p>
<p>FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN&#8217;T READ THE BOOK:</p>
<p>The fundamental lesson (or moral to the story, if you prefer) is that your thoughts have consequences with exactly the same cause and effect exhibited by the laws of physics. The way you think directly affects your life, and therefore it is important to understand what you think and why you think it. In order to teach this valuable lesson, the primary characters in Ayn Rand&#8217;s novel are easily identified as either heroes or villains. Rand divides her imaginary population into people who work hard and produce wealth, and people who spend their time trying to justify the theft of wealth created by others. The fantasy of this story contemplates what would happen to society if all the people who create the wealth simply disappeared and stopped producing.</p>
<p>FOR THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK</p>
<p>Theaters nationwide were filled on opening night with those who have waited for years for their favoite book to reach the silver screen. Many of them giddy with anticipation, while others were nervous that the filmmakers would not do justice to such an important literary work. I managed to balance my emotions between these two extremes, at once thrilled that I wouldn&#8217;t have to read 1,100 pages again, and resigned to the fact that the film would probably fall short of my expectations. I am pleased to report that the movie didn&#8217;t suck. In fact, I&#8217;m impressed that the movie exceeded my expectations in many ways.</p>
<p>I was very surprised to find the timeline begins in the future of 2016. I never expected the scenario that expensive fuel costs would effectively eliminate air travel, and resurrect the entire train industry. This clever twist convinced me not to rush to judgement until I viewed the entire movie. I also applaud the casting department for their choice of actors and actresses to fill the shoes of characters most of us have held in our imaginations for decades. While some complain that the lead roles are filled by people we&#8217;ve never heard of, I consider this a stroke of genius. Every actor carries the &#8220;baggage&#8221; of past performances. No matter what movie John Wayne appears in, the audience recognizes him immediately, and has very definite expectations of the character he portrays. Attempting to cast Dagney Taggert and Hank Rearden with the likes of Angelina Jolie and George Clooney would &#8220;contaminate&#8221; characters that need to remain pure and devoid of any preconcieved expectations.</p>
<p>I have often considered the causal relationship between the greatness of the hero and the treachery of the criminal. John Wayne would not be very impressive if he rescues the city by shooing away a Girl Scout charging too much for her cookies. &#8220;Keep walkin&#8217; little lady! You think I&#8217;m MADE of money?!&#8221; The larger and more treacherous the bad guy, the more we can glorify the person who restores &#8220;truth, justice, and the American way&#8221;. For that reason, I&#8217;m thankful for the gut-wrenching, visceral hatred I felt for the bureaucrats in the movie who are scheming behind closed doors to justify the theft and destruction of others. It is precisely that reason that I was able to feel a teary-eyed sense of exhilerated joy when the good guys are wildly successful completing their project in spite of any attempts to see them fail.</p>
<p>I have read ATLAS SHRUGGED many times, and I know the philosophy extremely well, even if I have forgotten specific details about the story. I think the movie retains enough of the relevant dialog to allow everyone to follow the plot. Make no mistake, this is a movie and story about and for intellectuals. If you&#8217;re expecting gratuitious sex and violence, you&#8217;re going to be extremely disappointed. If you want to learn more about the way the world works, and the way people think, then I highly recommend this movie. In fact, if you&#8217;re buying the popcorn, I&#8217;ll watch this movie again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/witch-192x300.jpg" alt="" title="i want your money" width="192" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2233" /> The world is engaged in an ideological war &#8211; a war of words and ideas. The battle is between individualism and collectivism. Between freedom and tyranny. Using humor, cartoons, and commentaries by experts in the field, this movie teaches you what is wrong with our economy, and what we can do to fix it. This movie is the best tool I can think of for restoring Liberty in this country. My only regret is that it was released three weeks before the election.</p>
<p>If you see a flower, you many wonder how it came to be there. Even if you sat and watched it grow for two weeks, you still wouldn&#8217;t have a sense of the wonder. However if you watched a time-lapse movie that condensed the growth cycle into a one minute movie, the flower would &#8220;come alive&#8221; before your eyes.</p>
<p>You may be wondering how why our economy is in such terrible shape at the moment. This movie condenses our economic history from 1932 (during the Great Depression) until the present into a ninety minute &#8220;time lapse&#8221; movie. It explains the economic policies of FDR, LBJ, Carter, Regan, and Obama, and teaches you why socialism (collectivism) is tantamount to political suicide. This movie will make you mad, but it will also make you feel proudly patriotic. I sincerely hope it motivates you to take personal action to change the world we live in for the better.</p>
<p>Study the Constitution! Memorize the Bill of Rights!</p>

Don&#8217;t Tread on Me Rise of the Republic is a documentry style film released to you by the same people who brought you such films as, &#8220;Camp FEMA: American Lockdown and 911 Ripple Effect Lies, Propaganda and A Call For Justice. When I initially heard about this film I was a little leary of seeing it as I was concerned that it would be another alarmist film, but since it was called, Rise of the Republic I decided I would pick it up, because I have always wanted to see a good documentry about the forming of our constitutional republic without liberal twists. For me the film was a little disappointing as it wasn&#8217;t a whole lot about our nations founding, so the title was a bit deceiving. However they did talk about the founding period in a few segments. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Tread on Me, was a good film however that did discuss a lot of important issues including the commerce clause, state sovereignty and the proper role of government and it even talks about the difference between a militia and standing armies. The film features interviews with such notable guests as, Michael Badnarik, Edwin Vieira, Sheriff Richard Mack, and yes even Alex Jones. It is in no way shape or form a conspiracy film, it sticks to topics and does not just complane about one problem after another but offers simple solutions to our complex problems. I would recommend this movie to just about anyone who is open to the idea of restoring our Republic and watching it rise again. </p>

Anyone who tries to tell you that the constitution is a &#8220;living document&#8221; which is old and outdated, is trying to convince you that you don&#8217;t have individual rights and that the government is authorized to take your property &#8221;to support the greater good.&#8221;  -Michael Badnarik</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/good_to_be-203x300.jpg" alt="" title="good_to_be" width="203" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-537" /> &#8220;Good to be King: The Foundation of Our Constitutional Freedom&#8221; is a must read for anyone who cares about the affairs of government. In chapter&#8217;s one through eight, 2004 libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik gives his unique introduction to the Constitution and presents a compelling argument of why, in America, you are a king. The next nine chapters Michael breaks down the Constitution with a sheer brilliance that comes with over 25 years of studying the document and the history of these united States. You will learn what this great document does and does not mean. In the remainder of the book Michael exposes corruption and treason within the united States and instead of leaving you with a grim tale of doom and gloom Michael also spells out a non-violent plan of hope that begins with you!</p>
<p>This book provides in depth analysis of the supreme law of the land with legal definitions provided by Black&#8217;s Law Dictionary throughout. Each chapter is short and to the point; Michael does not ramble or beat around the bush. This book is written to &#8220;edify and entertain school children and seasoned libertarians alike,&#8221; as Congressman Ron Paul put it. And instead of telling you to take his word for it, Michael encourages you to turn over every leaf and question all authority including his own. If you would like to experience what our founders entrusted congress to preserve for you, read this book. If you could care less and would rather watch TV than don&#8217;t read it and watch your liberties go down the toilet. </p>

Congressman Paul explains his reasons from Philosophical, Constitutional, Economical and Political standpoints citing the current mess we are in and have been in (albeit unknowingly for most Americans) since our fiat money system was integrated and we were removed from the gold standard. He argues the Federal Reserve, namely chairman Ben Bernanke, while credited with &#8220;saving&#8221; us from an even more disasterous economy, is actually delaying the inevitable &#8211; a serious crash far worse than the Great Depression. Not only is he delaying it, but by continually printing more money into circulation, artificially adjusting interest rates creating bubbles in all markets and giving the false signal to investors and businesses to invest and spend in our broken economy, he is going to make the inevitable far worse than it could be if honesty and transparency within the market allowed change to happen now.</p>
<p>The idea of ridding the American people of the Federal Reserve is still not a super popular one, surprisingly. Many American&#8217;s can read &#8220;End the Fed&#8221; or similar titles, or listen all day to an expert discuss the reasons for abolishing it, and still say that it should stay. Their reasons are usually inane: What would we do for currency? We can&#8217;t afford a bad economy (as if we don&#8217;t currently have one). You can imagine the liberal&#8217;s reasoning for keeping a large, overreaching, secretive, powerful federal agency around at the expense of future generations &#8211; nothing new. I assure you, the answers to all these questions are covered in detail in &#8220;End the Fed&#8221; if one is willing to carefully read the 200 pages with an open and unbiased mind.</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend everyone read this book. As Dr. Paul wrote, ending the &#8220;beast&#8221; is something that liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and populists can get behind, even if it&#8217;s because of different motivations. Now is the time, every day the Fed operates is another nail in our coffin. Anti-Fed sentiment in this country is the absolute highest it has ever been since this central bank&#8217;s conception in 1913. If we stick together and spread the word, that is the knowledge that is displayed within these pages, the Fed doesn&#8217;t stand a chance.</p>

Good fibs and evil lies if you will, well <a href="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/2010/02/episode-66-affirmative-action-interview-kevin-jackson/">Kevin Jackson</a> has discovered the big black lie of society and wishes to make it well known, and so far he has done well with this Amazon best seller.</p>
<p>From a poor black boy growing up in a single parent home, to an American success story, the Big Black Lie details every major event in Kevin&#8217;s life that helped shape who he is today and what he believes. One of the few black men who have, &#8216;come out&#8217; and admitted to being a conservative Kevin details every belief he has and holds with great detail. &#8220;How I found out the truth about the Democratic party&#8221; is the fitting subtitle to this book that is by no means a boar; Kevin&#8217;s book is a page turner with all the witty humor that you would expect from him if you have ever been given the privilege of hearing him speak.</p>
<p>Saying what needs to be said, and what only a black man can say without being called a racist, Kevin tells his story that I find more geared towards black men, although I believe it is a book that will be very educational to men and woman of all races. Keven carefully explains how over the years it has been the Democratic Party that has been more demeaning and racist to blacks than the Republicans. This must read, will open your eyes to aspects of black and Democratic history that you were not taught in the public schools. I can not say that I agree with every one of his conclusions, you may not either but I believe that you will come to respect his opinions once you learn where he is coming from, and will find it well worth the time invested. Pick up a copy of this book and discover what the big black lie in our society really is. </p>

<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Passion-209x300.jpg" alt="" title="The-Passion" width="209" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-655" /> The Passion is one of those movies you will hate to love or love to hate depending on how you look at it. This movie is based off of the true story of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The movie runs the course of approximately two hours and takes you on an in depth, realistic and graphic tour of Jesus of Nazareth&#8217;s final hours on this planet. This movie will give you a better idea of what a Roman crucifixion would have looked like and demonstrate what Christ has done for you! All other movies about Christ hail in comparison to Mel Gibson&#8217;s rendition. This movie makes any &#8220;Passion Play&#8221; or &#8220;Easter Drama&#8221; you go see this year look like a puppet show. This movie is as accurate as it gets from the costumes to the language spoken. The entire movie is in the languages of Aramaic, Latin, and Hebrew with English subtitles so you can read along. However, I found that the movie was so good that you don&#8217;t even need to read the text to follow along. As the old saying goes, &#8220;a picture says a thousand words.&#8221; Most motion pictures are shot at 24 frames per second which means there is about 1,440 still frames in one minute of film. That means the Passion of the Christ contains approximately 182,880 pictures and at 1,000 words per picture this movie contains 182,880,000 words without even counting the dialogue. So whether you like foreign movies or not you can still watch this movie and be just as impacted. I do not condone just anyone watch this movie, it was rated R by the MPAA for &#8220;sequences of graphic violence.&#8221; I do believe it is a safe movie to take young kids to but it would be advised that you watch it first and make that call based on your understanding of your child&#8217;s tolerance and strong stomach or lack thereof. The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing non-English language flick and the most successful R-rated movie in the united States.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wdvd-210x300.jpg" alt="" title="W." width="210" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-645" /> It&#8217;s no secret that Oliver Stone, the director of the motion picture W., is a screaming liberal. He, as well as Stanley Weiser the writer and actor Josh Brolin, who plays the part of George W. Bush, are big-Bush bashing southpaws who stop at nothing to advance their ideology. This is why when I first saw the preview for W. in theaters when watching <a href="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/2009/10/review-an-american-carol/">An American Carol</a>. I decided then and there that I would not give this movie the time of day. Not long ago I was talking to a friend who advised I watch the movie because he said it wasn&#8217;t as much of an attack on Bush as he had originally conceived. None the less, I went out and rented it. I was skeptical at the beginning but decided to sit back and take it all in for what it&#8217;s worth. As it turned out the movie W. was more of a video biography based on the life of George W. Bush than a satire comedy made to bash him. There were several biases that I picked up on though. First of all, this movie takes the stance that most leftists believe the Iraq war was all about oil. The movie paints a picture that Colin Powell is our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, because he is vocal in meetings about not sending troups to die for oil. No blood for oil, if you will. There are countless other jabs this movie takes at Bush which wouldn&#8217;t bother me so much except for the fact that they paint Bush as a conservative.</p>
<p>If nothing else, this movie does paint a pretty good portrayal of Bush&#8217;s personality and character. Bush was a party animal and was always the life of the party kind of person with a good sense of humor, these traits are all portrayed in the movie. After watching it you will feel sympathy for the former president because you realize he&#8217;s much like yourself or one of your good friends, but don&#8217;t let that fool you, that&#8217;s just a trick to lure in gullible Republicans to believe it is an accurate movie with no biases. When in all actuality it is a Bush-bashing movie that even takes jabs at conservatives by portraying Bush as a conservative in particular when he tells Laura he is reading Barry Goldwater&#8217;s &#8220;Conscience of a Conservative&#8221;. This movie sets out to make moderate Republicans like Bush look like conservatives thus giving every conservative or person who claims to be one look like a bad guy who will send children to die for oil. </p>

 Have you ever gotten sick of seeing the same old Hollywood Liberal bias in movies over and over again?

<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/An-American-Carol-213x300.jpg" alt="" title="An American Carol" width="213" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-650" /> Have you ever gotten sick of seeing the same old Hollywood Liberal bias in movies over and over again? Maybe it is just me, but it sure feels like every movie anymore is just a different interpretation of the last one. The same actors, playing the same character, just with a different name and a different setting. If you are sick of trying to be an upstream person in a downstream world then it&#8217;s time you start supporting media that shares your views and values. Conservative movies rarely happen in modern Hollywood. That&#8217;s why David Zucker&#8217;s new movie &#8220;An American Carol&#8221; is a one-in-a-million movie. With an all-star cast including, Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, and many others, Leslie Nielsen narrates the story of a Scrooge-like movie director named Michael Malone (who is a parody of Michael Moore). The tale is told in a format similar to Charles Dickens &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; where three spirits from America&#8217;s past come back to haunt Malone after he announces that he wants to abolish the 4th of July. General George S. Patton takes Malone back in time to show him what it means to be an American, what it means to be patriotic and along the way, An American Carol makes fun of the left in a way that&#8217;s outrageous and true at the same time. I have to be completely honest with you, I was a little disappointed when I watched it the first time I found that it was more Republicanesque than Conservative, for instance they speak highly of big government GOP programs like the Patriot Act, but don&#8217;t let that stop you from seeing it. This movie was written by, Myrna Sokoloff, Lewis Friedman and David Zucker, who has had huge success in the past working on movies like &#8220;Airplane&#8221; and the &#8220;Naked Gun&#8221; series. This movie was rejected from distribution and production deals in Hollywood because of its Conservative mockery of the left. This is why you didn&#8217;t see many previews for it when it was in theaters and there was little hype over its DVD release. Due to its lack of support from Hollywood, stores are not stocking many of these DVD&#8217;s. Many Hollywood &#8220;Conservatives&#8221; risked their careers to make this movie, to show us that they were listening to what we have been asking for, a movie that we can identify with. The very least we can do is buy this movie and support their cause. This was one of the few movies I went out to see on opening day and purchased on DVD on its release date. Be sure to buy this movie today! </p>

But it cannot survive treason from within.&#8221; So said Cicero in 42 B.C. This quote is how Michael Savage starts off his second political book &#8211; &#8220;The Enemy Within&#8221;. Savage is notorious for finding the most absurd stories that the mainstream media never touch base with. This book is full of stories examples and solid facts about the military, health care, and courts that you will not hear anywhere else. This book exploits problems with illegal immigration and the digress in education in this country. Everything can be grouped to the three things Savage believes our country needs to protect: its borders, language and culture. Unlike most &#8220;conservatives&#8221; Savage is not afraid to call out Republicans when they do stupid liberal things. I recommend this book to anyone who dares to think on their own to anyone who wants to be above the American sheeple. If not for this book I may have never become as passionate about politics as I am today. In this book Michael Savage is as aggressive, blunt and politically incorrect as he is on his talk show, which means this book, &#8220;contains adult language, adult content, psychological nudity. Readers discretion is advised.&#8221;</p>

<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/helmet-192x300.jpg" alt="" title="helmet" width="192" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-658" /> &#8220;Put A Helmet On&#8221; is quite possibly one of the funniest stand-up comedy acts I have ever seen. Stine has been featured on MTV&#8217;s &#8220;Half Hour Comedy Hour,&#8221; Showtime&#8217;s &#8220;Comedy Club Network&#8221;, and A&#038;E&#8217;s &#8220;Caroline&#8217;s Comedy Hour,&#8221; &#8220;Evening at the Improv&#8221; and &#8220;Comedy on the Road.&#8221; Brad has also been on &#8220;Hannity and Colmes&#8221; and &#8220;Glenn Beck&#8221; and <a href="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/2010/04/episode-77-interview-comedian-brad-stine/">a little show named The Conservative Declaration Talk Show Program</a>. Not to mention he was also hired to do stand up for the Republican National Convention in New York City hosted by Jenna and Barbara Bush. This, Brad&#8217;s first DVD really spells out for you who he is and what he stands for. Attacking everything from political correctness, animal rights activists, big government and even his fellow Christians who say the dumbest things. Yet at the same time there is a strong message of American greatness and Godly wisdom! Stine is growing in popularity with religious and secular crowds. This DVD brings you a style of comedy similar to that of Robin Williams and the late George Carlin without the vulgar edge, making this DVD a safe movie for the whole family to watch. I recommend anyone and everyone to at least give this gig a chance, but if you are a person who finds themselves getting offended easily, before the movie starts you may just want to put a helmet on! </p>

 Wow, what a great book this was. Regardless of your political views or opinion of Clarence Thomas, read this book. I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan of biographies, but this book got me inspired to read more of them. His story is incredible, inspirational, and moving. He goes into great detail about his life starting with childhood and his family situation all the way up to his confirmation hearings and beyond.

 American History X is a Tony Kaye film that tells the story of Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) and his younger brother Danny Vinyard (Edward Furlong) of Venice Beach, CA. They have become white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, due to a turn of events in their past. The movie starts out in black and white and flashes to color as it changes from flash backs to current time.

<p><img src="http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/american_history_x-212x300.jpg" alt="" title="american_history_x" width="212" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-671" /> American History X is a Tony Kaye film that tells the story of Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) and his younger brother Danny Vinyard (Edward Furlong) of Venice Beach, CA. They have become white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, due to a turn of events in their past. The movie starts out in black and white and flashes to color as it changes from flash backs to current time. At the beginning of the movie you watch as Derek defend himself against three black vandals who were breaking into his car. Derek fires multiple shots at the three men, killing one of them with gunfire and curb stomps the other one just before the police show up and arrest him.</p>
<p>The next three years go by with Derek behind bars and his family trying to move on with their lives. Danny has trouble forgetting what happened and starts following in his brothers footsteps and seeking the wisdom of Cameron Alexander who was Derek&#8217;s mentor when it came to white power propaganda (Cameron is basically a white Jeremiah Wright). Meanwhile Derek begins to change as he sees hypocrisy with his constituency in prison as some of the Neo-Nazis in prison deal drugs with the Mexicans. Derek speaks out against this inconsistency and is x-communicated from the group after they gang rape his in the shower. Vinyard winds up in the prison hospital with several stitches and is brought to tears when his old black English teacher who is now Danny&#8217;s principal (Dr. Bob Sweeney) comes to visit him. During his visit Sweeney asks Vinyard a question that leaves him in a stand still, &#8220;Has anything you&#8217;ve done made your life better?&#8221;</p>
<p>Later, Derek is released on good behavior as result of his help from Sweeney and another black inmate that he befriends. But being released from prison brings Derek more troubles than blessings as he now has to return to his old life, his old family and his old friends with a different out look on life. The movie takes some drastic turns and leaves you with a dramatic and saddening ending.</p>
<p>On the surface the moral of this movie is, &#8216;Bad people can change&#8217; the underlined meaning or hidden agenda is to say that &#8220;Evil conservatives&#8221; can change. What do I mean by this? Well this movie like many other Hollywood flicks has a very liberal agenda. Tony Kaye set out to depict Neo-Nazis as conservatives by making it look like if you are against, affirmative action, illegal immigration, and welfare you must be a Neo-Nazi.</p>
<p>At the beginning of the movie you are led to believe that Derek became racist as result of his father being killed by some blacks in a drive-by-shooting. Derek says, &#8216;Immigration, AIDS, Welfare, Crime, these are all problems with blacks, browns and niggers their not white problems.&#8217; However near the conclusion of the movie Danny explains that Derek&#8217;s racism started much earlier as it takes you back to a scene depicting a much younger Derek Vinyard sitting at the dinner table with his father as he tells his family about 2 black guys who got jobs at his firehouse, over two white guys who actually scored higher on the tests all because of &#8220;Affirmative black action&#8221;.</p>
<p>Seth, the fat and not so jolly friend of the family calls another character a &#8220;f***ing Democrat&#8221; as an insult! Derek complains to his gang about 2,000,000 illegals bedding down in his state and how the government spent $3 billion on them last year. Then he asks his gang of Neo-Nazis, &#8220;Are we just going to stand on the sidelines while our country gets raped?&#8221; Just before storming a grocery store and beating every immigrant they find relentlessly! There was even a scene ware they throw an African-American girl on a counter and pour water down her throat similar to a water-boarding session&#8230; Then Seth reprimands the store owner saying, &#8220;No green card, no f***ing work! Comprendhe?!&#8221; In another scene Danny also tells Hillary Rodham Clinton to, &#8220;Save the rhetorical bullsh*t&#8221;, &#8220;its not going to happen&#8221; in reference to racial equality.</p>
<p>Did I mention that they also portray Neo-Nazis as people of faith? For starters the opening sequence shows Derek banging his girlfriend with a crucifix hanging on the wall behind the bed&#8230; not to mention the fact that Danny says, &#8220;I hate everyone who is not white Protestants!&#8221; And to top it all off, the Neo&#8217;s call their gang of racists D.O.C. Which stands for, &#8220;Disciples of Christ&#8221; The list could go on and on! &#8220;American History X&#8221; is laced full of ant-conservative, anti-Christian rhetoric and propaganda. Without all of the political and religious bull crap I would say the movie was pretty good. However, I would not recommend this movie to just anyone. The movie is rated, &#8220;R&#8221; for, language, violence, sexuality and some brief nudity. Most movies have a tag line or subtitle&#8230; This one was, &#8220;Some legacies must end&#8221;. Well I got a tag line I would like to give to Tony the idiot Kaye to put in his pipe and smoke for a while&#8230; how about, &#8220;Some misguided stereotypes must end!&#8221;</p>

It&#8217;s okay, there&#8217;s hope for you yet. This conservative manifesto is as relevant as it was in 1960 when it was written. This book gives concise answers questions regarding conservative opinions on the matters of foreign policy, states&#8217; rights, civil rights, taxes, social programs, education and more. As a congressman he stayed close to the principles laid out in this unapologetic, radical manifesto, as it is occasionally called. One thing is certain &#8211; the ideology this book clearly laid out, has defined conservatism for our generation and the generations to come. Barry Goldwater is one of my heroes and this book definitely played a part in earning him that status. </p>
