Control Freaks: 7 Ways Liberals Plan to Ruin Your Life Review
This is a perfect book for the times. Terrence Jeffrey clearly explains what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are trying to accomplish and demonstrates why their policies, actions, and legislative tactics are against our Constitution, our heritage as a nation, and the will of the majority of Americans. (Of course, I hope we correct this in 2010 and 2012.)
Chapter One shows how Obama, our disgraceful transportation secretary Ray LaHood (a nominal Republican from Illinois) are using the force of government to manipulate markets to force us out of our cars and even our homes to live in the "high density" housing environments they preferred we would inhabit. You see, they are not about enabling us to fulfill our dreams and live in freedom and liberty, but as far as they are concerned we exist to allow them to fulfill their dreams and visions.
The second chapter focuses on the lies that were used to create social security and why it is collapsing today. Mr. Jeffry shows why would all be better off caring for our own retirement and how to do it than allowing the control freaks to keep ripping us off. And no, none of this is about breaking our promises to those in or near retirement. The rip offs have gone on from the beginning. Did you now that Ida May Fuller, the first recipient of social security, retired at 65 after paying a 1% tax on her 0 salary as a secretary. She had paid in .50 from 1937 until her retirement in 1939. By the time she died in she had collected payments from 1940 until 1975. By her third check she had recouped everything from her "trust fund" and when on to collect a total of ,888.92 of other people's money.
We next explore the way our Federal Constitution has been tortured and ignored by Congress, abetted by "living Constitutionalists" in the judiciary to accomplish an expansion of government to intrude into every aspect of our lives. "Freedom, what freedom? We just want the illusion of security! No matter if we ruin the country as long as I get mine!" is what too many of seem to be saying with our votes and inattention to what our government is really doing to us. It cannot and won't go on, my friends. Not much longer, anyway.
I found the chapter on the perversion of "public use" into "public purpose" and an analysis of the "Kelo" decision by the Supreme Court to be most interesting and useful. I think you will to. This is a huge threat to our lives and property. Of course, the Left doesn't much like the idea of Private Property. To them, everything belongs to the state and they allocated it as the 535 demigods in Congress, the Chosen One in the White House, and the 9 great priests in the Supreme Court see fit. What was it the Declaration says about government existing to protect our natural rights and what we should do if the government fails to protect us in our rights?
The chapter on the way the Left strives to control political speech is exasperating and yet we know from what we see on the news and read in the paper that it is absolutely true. They act as if our Founders wrote the First Amendment to protect pornography rather than political speech. Another chapter on health care and our right to life is also a very important read. Obama pretends that the notion of when life begins is "above his pay grade" when he is a candidate, but when he is in office as a state legislator, a federal Senator or our President, no one is more pro-Abortion than he. Wait until some bureaucrat decides you aren't worth the healthcare sources they would have to allocate to treat you. Even if you have your own money, they will withhold it from you. We have to fight this, folks. Seriously fight it and repeal it.
Which leads us to the culture war the Left wants to fight while preventing the opposition (you and me) from resisting their efforts to "fundamentally transform" our culture and our nation.
An excellent book and you will find you can read it quickly while getting good information you can look up and verify if you want to.
Please get and read this book.

Control Freaks: 7 Ways Liberals Plan to Ruin Your Life Overview
If the Obama administration has one overriding objective—tying together health care “reform,” non-stop meddling in the economy, and hard-Left Supreme Court appointments—it is that big government should make decisions for you. When it comes to how you live your life, Washington bureaucrats know best.
Or so they tell us.
Nationally syndicated columnist Terence P. Jeffrey tells a different story. Jeffrey reveals how liberals are trying to transform America from the limited government of the Founding Fathers into the unlimited government of liberal control freaks.
Jeffrey dissects the relentless liberal attack on every freedom the Founders fought to secure for us, from where and how you live, to your right to criticize your representatives, to what you believe and teach your own children. Provocative—and thoroughly researched and documented—Control Freaks sounds the alarm that Barack Obama and the liberal establishment are stealing our liberties—and shows why we need to wake up and do something about it while they can still be stopped.

Great title - Archdlux - SC
A good summary of the many, and sometimes subtle, ways these power-hungry maniacs seek to lord over your life.
It's On the Way! - Leonard F. Harview -
Here's another 5 star rating without having read the book as of yet (Just ordered the book off Amazon). My absolute respect for Brent Bozell and the MRC in exposing the treasonous bias and far left wing protectionism provided by the mainstream media is enough for me to pre-judge. Here's hoping for a whacking in the mid-term elections and then on the 2012. Can't wait to hear how the mainstream media reports the hopeful massacre of these out of touch incumbents and non-constitutionalists.
Lefties - Richard Hamilton - Fleetwood, PA United States
Read the book. It's outstanding. Thirty to forty percent of Democrats today are hard left tin cup liberals and would vote for ANYONE with a D after their name. They simply are simpletons. Useful idiots. Look at any poll. No Democrat will ever poll under 30-40 percent. The useful idiots or simpletons won't allow it. They have no flexibility, no sense, no moral direction, hate God and Jesus, hate the constitution, want to kill babies by the millions, hate our military, hate and are afraid of guns and the shooting sports, love political correctness and hate America as it once was and what the founders like Jefferson, Franklin and Madison wrote into the US constitution and Bill of Rights, think we are the cause of non-existent "climate change". And we are supposed to take their insane posts on this comment page seriously? No Thanks. They are irrelevant without the other fifteen to twenty percent of real American democrats. You remember the old Democratic Party don't you? That's the party of Scoop Jackson, JFK, Harry Truman and Sam Nunn. You remember them. Honest opposition we respected, not the anti-America progressive-liberal morons that infect the Democratic Party today like Obama, Polosi and Reid. The Democrat Party (i.e., liberals, progressives, Marxists, socialists) is the culture of corruption. The liberals that post here are comparable to the "loyalists" during the Revolutionary War and we know what happened to that kind of scum. They would not fight for our freedom.They were sent packing and tarred and feathered. They objected to a free America. Sound like someone you know? Look in a mirror. Scratch a reactionary, Democratic leftist like those that infest this board, find the fascist writhing underneath. The one star people commenting here are the problem. They are too dumb to realize it.
Utter crap - Lance Gayhart - Lexington
I couldn't get past the first chapter without wanting to gouge out my eyeballs. Horrible author. His writing skills are like that of a toddler. My dad watches Fox News all the time, so I'm used to propaganda. I expected some first rate propaganda with this guy. It turns out it was second rate blabber. This guy must have graduated from Special Ed. after failing thrice.
