Product Description:
Half of all illegal immigrants came into this country legally--and we have no way of knowing they're still here!
Congressmen are putting their wives on their campaign payrolls--so that campaign contributions are really personal bribes!
The ACLU won't allow its own directors free speech.
Liberals want to strip us of the tools to stop terrorism.
The UN is a cover for massive corruption--and eighty countries, who pay 12 percent of the budget, are blocking reform.
Drug companies pay off doctors to write scripts--whether we need them or not.
Teachers unions block the firing of bad teachers--and battle against higher education standards!
Katrina victims are being stiffed by their insurance companies!
Special interests cost our consumers $45 billion--through trade quotas that save only a handful of jobs!
Never heard of these abuses? You won't in the mainstream media. That's why Dick Morris and Eileen McGann wrote Outrage. Their proposals:
- Ban immigration from terrorist countries
- Ban Congress putting spouses on their payroll
- Ban lobbyists who are related to senators or congressmen
- Ban nicotine additives to cigarettes
- Ban trade quotas that drive up prices and save few jobs
- Ban drug company bribes to doctors
- Ban teachers unions' work rules that stop education reform
- Ban insurance companies from backing out on Katrina coverage
In Outrage, you'll get the facts--and learn what we can do about them. You won't read about these outrages anyplace else; too many people are working hard to cover them up. Get them here instead--and learn how to fight the special interests of the left and right.

this author knows his principles.
and it is refreshing to see someone speak on the bovine dung that we call a government.
the same friend allowed me to borrow this tome as well.
after reading it I suggested a violent action to bring down the government
and to replace it with a community where all had a duty that contributed to the whole. and all were equal and there was no heirarchy.
again, I cannot say whether or not every tidbit is factual, having not worked in the ... Read More

If you follow Politics and Current Affairs,and more importantly if you watch Fox News,you are familiar with Dick Morris. Dick published this book a year ago and since that time he has published another blockbuster "Fleeced".
Dick knows Politics as well as anyone else around;and he tells it like it is.Even Bill O'Reilly stops and listens to Dick, even when he disagrees with him.
In this book, Dick addresses many of the "Outrages" that are being bantered around these days, as the ... Read More

I have not finished this book yet but it is one I feel everyone should read before they vote in the November elections. I want to say---------WAKE UP AMERICANS----the lobbyist and special interest groups are in control of Congress and the laws that are made. Both parties are equally at fault over the lobbyist problem and earmarks inserted in bills. The economy will always have problems when our politicians make promises and vote to enhance their own power and wealth instead of voting for what is best ... Read More

'Outrage' outlines a wide range of horrible conduct by Congress, corporations, and others.
Dick Morris reveals treachery and incompetence by Congress (both Republicans and Democrats), the president, the United Nations, pharamaceutical companies, the teachers' unions, Fannie Mae, the news media, and others. In addition to pointing out the problems, he offers some solutions.
Some of the most revealing sections include the following:
Congress - The evils catalogued in ... Read More

The book makes good and valid points, however much of it is filled with statistics, graphs, and long lists not many would be willing to wade through. It is very simply written, easy to read, but unfortunately mixes fact with opinion. The annoying "action agendas" at the end of each chapter were seriously annoying just because they are all the same and involve nothing more than common sense exhortations. Really not much I did not know already in here, and I probably would not buy another Morris book, although ... Read More

Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
