If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans
Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as citing facts, is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that s when I feel truly alive.
So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that She s gone too far! and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you ll read Coulter s take on:
Her politics: As far as I m concerned, I m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.
Hillary Clinton: Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.
The environment: God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It s yours.
Religion: It s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.
Global warming: The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!
Gun control: Mass murderers apparently can t read, since they are constantly shooting up gun-free zones.
Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.
Illegal aliens: I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter. -

A Treasury of Sacred Maxims: Commentary on Legal Principles
This inspiring collection of sacred maxims is drawn from the genre known in Arabic as al-qawa‘id al-fiqhiyyah.
These maxims are pithy sayings that Islamic scholars use as a guide for Islamic practice in a wide range of areas, from the rituals of worship to financial transactions.
Though technically translated as “legal maxims”, the array of topics these maxims cover encompass the core ethical principles at the heart of the Shariah.
Given its concision, each maxim is rich in meaning, and the commentary provided by Dr Shahrul Hussain gives us a glimpse into the maxim’s significance.
The commentaries, written by a Western Islamic scholar, bring out the relevance of each maxim to the English speaking reader.
This latest instalment in Kube’s Treasury Series in Islamic Thought and Civilisation, will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions.
Each maxim has three elements which will be discussed:
1) The intellectual coinage of the juristic maxim.
2) Its legal justification (hujjiyah), and
3) Its moral philosophy.
Each maxim will be explained, followed by examples of how it is applied in Islamic law.
The Hujjiyah of the maxim will be discussed and concluded by discussing the moral message the maxim gives.

Peacekeepers at War: Beirut 1983— – The Marine Commander Tells His Story
On October 23, 1983, nearly simultaneous suicide truck bombings killed 241 U.S. peacekeepers in their barracks at the Beirut International Airport (BIA) and 58 French paratroopers at their headquarters two miles north of BIA. In this long-awaited book, the Marine Corps commander of the U.S. Multi-National Peacekeeping Force that was destroyed by terrorists in Lebanon tells his story for the first time. Together, these suicide bombings comprised the largest nonnuclear explosion ever recorded and are now recognized as a seminal event leading to the current war on terrorism. Such acts of war revealed a new, highly effective tactic, which complemented the terrorist’s strategic goals—the withdrawal of the peacekeepers and Western influence from Lebanon and a change in U.S. policy. Peacekeepers at War lays out, in detail, a sequence of events leading up to the suicide truck bombings from which one can extrapolate the rationale, motives, and perpetrators behind it. Geraghty argues that the absence of any retribution against the perpetrators emboldened the terrorists to assume they could attack Americans and Western interests with impunity. This led to kidnappings, torture, and the murders of Americans and other Westerners. Peacekeepers at War will be of interest to general readers who want to learn more about this seminal event and its effects on the current global war on terrorism.

Vote Thieves: Illegal Immigration, Redistricting, and Presidential Elections
Every ten years political representation in the U.S.House of Representatives is redistributed (reapportioned) among the fifty states. The process begins anew with the 2020 census, which will count the nation’s population as the basis for representation in Congress. The national census has a history wrought with failures and inaccurate counts. In Vote Thieves, geographer Orlando J. Rodriguez shows how our current method of apportionment creates an incentive for illegal immigration and polarizes our political system. This issue affects all U.S. residents–legal and illegal alike. Recent history has triggered a growing suspicion among Americans that their political system is flawed. Vote Thieves explains a singular flaw that voters suspect but cannot put into words and gives them the information they need to petition for a more responsive political system.
