TOXIC TALK: How the Radical Right Has Poisoned America’s Airwaves
Bill Press
Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's.
ISBN NA
310 pages
$26.99

Reviewed by Steven Levingston
The gist: The right wing rules American talk radio, setting the conservative agenda, and the abundance of its bellowing has drowned out the chirps and squeaks from the left.
In its own words: "Unfortunately, as we hear from listening to most conservative talk show hosts, (the influence of talk radio) has mostly been in a negative direction: tearing people apart, exploiting divisive issues, pitting one group against another, and denying honest differences of opinion. Toxic talk ... has seriously damaged the level of political discourse in this country."

THE BLUEPRINT: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency
Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski
Lyons
ISBN NA
296 pages
$22.95

Reviewed by Steven Levingston
The gist: Obama is working off a blueprint to turn America into a secular welfare state lorded over by an almighty central government by packing the courts, suppressing conservative media, changing voting laws and manipulating Americans' views of liberty and God.
In its own words: "We the People of the United States must choose whether ... President Obama's blueprint to reject and rewrite our Constitution will stand. We need to choose whether we will allow a permanent liberal government to emerge in this country, led by an imperial president of unprecedented power."
