Title: “The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party”

Authors: David Horowitz and Richard Poe

Rank: 21

Blurb: “America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party.”

Review: “It really opened my eyes to how George Soros and Clinton want to change America forever into a cradle to grave progressive country that is extremely dangerous to our republic and our freedoms and liberty. America needs to wake up to these evil people.”

That 9/11 first-responders bill that finally passed last winter? There’s a catch:

The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list.

Credit goes to Florida GOP congresscritter Cliff Stearns, who tacked on the provision last May:

“This amendment was adopted in the full Energy and Commerce Committee without opposition and it merely requires that the names of those receiving health benefits be cross-checked with the terrorist watch list to ensure that no terrorists get these benefits,” Stearns said.

Additional credit goes to the Demrats who let the amendment pass during a voice vote.
