Title: “Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation”

Author: Jason Mattera

Rank: 16

Blurb: “For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.”

Review: “I can’t wait for ‘Bush and his Conservative Idiots: How the conservative machine gave us two wars, illegal concentration camps, wiretapping, used our own religion to brainwash the rest of the country, and sank our economy to the ground — not to mention the fact that we gained more enemies around the world.'”

Author: Karl Rove

Rank: 6

Blurb:Courage and Consequence is ultimately about the joy of a life committed to the conservative cause, a life spent in political combat and service to country, no matter the costs.”

Review: “I must admit, I fell hook, line and sinker for the media’s version of Karl Rove as an evil man. Reading the book, he comes across as an intelligent, thoughtful and heartfelt person.”

Title: “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”

Author: Seth Grahame-Smith

Rank: 28

Blurb: “While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years.”

Review: “Forgive me for judging a book by its cover, but this book is ridiculous! Any decent minded American would know that this is an insult to Abe Lincoln and everything he stood for.”

Title: “Payback Time: Making Big Money Is the Best Revenge!”

Author: Phil Town

Rank: 6

Blurb:Payback Time’s risk-free approach is called ‘stockpiling’ and it’s how billionaires get rich in bad markets. It’s a set of rules for investing (not trading but investing) in the right businesses at the right time — rules that will ensure you make the big money.”

Title: “Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama’s Radical Agenda”

Authors: Sean Hannity

Rank: 14

Blurb: “Barack Obama and his radical team of self-professed socialists, fringe activists, and others are trying to remake the American way of life. They have used their new Democratic majority to launch an alarming assault on our capitalist system — while abandoning the war on terror, undermining our national security, and weakening our position in the eyes of our enemies. The ‘candidate of change’ is threatening to change our country irreparably, and for the worse — if we don’t act to stop him now.”

Review: “Either you’re not paying attention or you’re also a liberal statist.”

Customers Also Bought: “How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America,” by David Kupelian (“managing editor of online news giant WorldNetDaily”)

Footnote: Obama seems to be defeating Obama’s Radical Agenda just fine. Get back to us when he does something that reflects why we elected him.

Title: “A Patriot’s History of the United States: From Columbus’s Great Discovery to the War on Terror”

Authors: Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen

Rank: 1

Blurb: “For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of ‘dead white men.’

“As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin.”

Review: “This book has taught me more about our history than any I’ve read in years.” (Glenn Beck)
