Makers and Takers: How Conservatives Do All the Work While Liberals Whine and Complain
In Makers and Takers you will discover why:
* Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals
* Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.
* Liberals are 2½ times more likely to be resentful of others’ success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people’s good luck.
* Liberals are 2 times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don’t deserve.
* Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and “significantly more likely” to display positive nurturing emotions.
* Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents.
* Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else’s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.
* Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bill O’Reilly and Dick Cheney have given large sums of money to people in need, while Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, and Al Gore have not.
* Those who are “very liberal” are 3 times more likely than conservatives to throw things when they get angry. The American left prides itself on being superior to conservatives: more generous, less materialistic, more tolerant, more intellectual, and more selfless. For years scholars have constructed—and the media has pushed—elaborate theories designed to demonstrate that conservatives suffer from a host of personality defects and character flaws. According to these supposedly unbiased studies, conservatives are mean-spirited, greedy, selfish malcontents with authoritarian tendencies. Far from the belief of a few cranks, prominent liberals from John Kenneth Galbraith to Hillary Clinton have succumbed to these prejudices. But what do the facts show?
Peter Schweizer has dug deep—through tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, and private records—and has discovered that these claims are a myth. Indeed, he shows that many of these claims actually apply more to liberals than conservatives. Much as he did in his bestseller Do as I Say (Not as I Do), he brings to light never-before-revealed facts that will upset conventional wisdom.
Conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and Robert Bork have long argued that liberal policies promote social decay. Schweizer, using the latest data and research, exposes how, in general:
* Liberals are more self-centered than conservatives. * Conservatives are more generous and charitable than liberals. * Liberals are more envious and less hardworking than conservatives. * Conservatives value truth more than liberals, and are less prone to cheating and lying. * Liberals are more angry than conservatives. * Conservatives are actually more knowledgeable than liberals. * Liberals are more dissatisfied and unhappy than conservatives.
Schweizer argues that the failure lies in modern liberal ideas, which foster a self-centered, “if it feels good do it” attitude that leads liberals to outsource their responsibilities to the government and focus instead on themselves and their own desires. .

Who Am I To Complain A Quick Perspective Adjustment
Says Michael Harper, "If you can't call my complaints trivialities by this book's end, then you can take comfort in the fact that you've learned nothing." Shocked out of the complacency of a normal and active adolescence, Harper has had to come to terms with MS. The disease had progressed to the point where he required help to go about his daily life. Indeed, help arrived in the form of Isaac, who had survived genocide in Sudan. The stories he shared with Michael--and now shares with us--are almost unbelievable. They gave Michael a whole new perspective on how to appreciate his life as well as the lives of others..

You know me; I'm not one to complain: Essays on life and the way I see things
Dorothy Shea Chapman was the last person in the world to take herself seriously. When she first came to our Autobiography Workshop, held in the Community/Senior Citizen Center in Dana Point, CA, she entered the room with a bouncing flair and a spirited walk, while folding up her red-tipped white cane. One knew immediately that this woman was full of wit, intelligent without the egotism that often goes with it, possessing a self-deprecating manner that worked as a magnet. She drew others to her without any visible effort. Dorothy's essays and poetry hit their target every time. Nothing-no subject-was off-limits for her pen. She exhibits a sensitivity not often seen when she tackles life's most laborious challenges-even grief. She tackled everything from kitchen pots to kibitzing pols, from gravy to graft, so to speak. This book promises you one laughing-out-loud page after another! Let this mother, grandmother and great-grandmother regale you, teach you, and bless you..

Living by Faith One Day at a Time (Audio CD) (Joyce Meyer Ministries)
5 Audio Cds. Every day brings opportunity and challenge into our lives. No one is exempt. Life happens one day at a time. Even with the best of intentions, some days can be overwhelming causing you to feel weak, doubtful, and fearful. But focusing on the problems and challenges will only increase the forces of doubt and fear in your life. God has a better way. He has promised to strengthen you, to hold you up, and to sustain you. He is more than able to handle anything that you may ever have to face in this life. In this series, Joyce teaches the importance of being steadfast in your faith; the dangers of murmuring, worrying and complaining; how fear, doubt and double-mindedness work to steal your faith; how to activate powerful prayer. According to James 1:5-8, we have to ask for what we need in faith, believing that we will receive what we ask for. Make a decision today that you will start living by faith, one day at a time!.
