First Navy Jack
Flag
The U.S. Navy is relying on a historic icon to remind the world of America's strength and courage. The rattlesnake has
been a favorite symbol of independence throughout America's history. Adopted as a uniquely American icon by early patriots, such as Benjamin Franklin,
the rattlesnake represents American unity. Individually, its rattles have no sound, but united they can be heard by all. And while it does not strike
unless threatened, once provoked, the deadly rattlesnake never surrenders.
The rattlesnake was used as a symbol of resistance to British repressive acts in Colonial America. Flags bearing
rattlesnakes and bearing the simple warning "Don't Tread on Me" were flown on the first ships of the Continental Navy in the Delaware River in 1775.
Today, as America faces unprecedented threats, this historic symbol of our founding has emerged as a powerful reminder of
our origin and true courage. Since May 2002, all U.S. Navy ships have flown the First Navy Jack from 8 a.m. to sunset daily while in port. The
temporary substitution for the Union Jack represents a historic reminder of the nation's and Navy's origin and will to persevere and triumph during
the global war on terrorism.
We have joined with the United States Navy Memorial Foundation to bring you a special edition First Navy Jack Flag.
Created to meet the standards of flag construction established by the United States Navy Memorial Foundation, each 3' x 5' flag in this edition is
handmade, piece-constructed together, and then marrow-stitched.
We have also arranged for each First Navy Jack Flag to be hand-raised according to tradition over the U.S. Navy Memorial. Your flag
will be accompanied by a certificate documenting that it was flown over the U.S. Navy Memorial.
We invite you to proudly display this American symbol and send a message to the world that America will stand up to its
aggressors and preserve liberty.

The
Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Founding Fathers
by Dr. Brion McClanahan
Exclusive hardcover edition -- not available in stores!
Our Founding Founders were extraordinary men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for the cause of liberty and independence. This was
a generation without equal, and it deserves to be rescued from the politically correct textbooks, teachers, and professors who want to dismiss the
Founders as a cadre of dead, white, sexist, slave-holding males. Now, a clear-sighted conservative historian, Dr. Brion McClanahan, does just that. In
The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to
the Founding Fathers, he profiles Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and other important Founders; traces the key
issues of the day and shows how they dealt with them; and in the process details the Founders' deep faith, commitment to the cause of independence,
impeccable character, and visionary political ideals. McClanahan shows that it was from their debates -- and their bedrock conservative principles,
that we secured our liberty. He argues that only by understanding their principles will we be able to keep the freedom that Americans have cherished
for generations. That makes this a vital guide to restoring a sane, sober, Constitutional sense of responsibility to today's public debates.

A Patriot's
History of the United States
by Michael Allen, Larry Schweikhart
For a half a century, the interpretation of America's story has drifted steadily leftward. Some of this has been the result of deliberate distortions
of the New Left, seeking to 'redress' the crimes in the American past by excessive criticism and clever slant. Some has come from the leftist
influences that shape many academics who write American history, with their obsession with race, class, 'gender,' and other 'oppressed/oppressor'
constructs. And, unfortunately, some of the shift has come from apparently deliberate factual errors based on political partisanship. Now, in
A Patriot's History of the United
States, Michael Allen and Larry Schweikhart take on what they call more than 50 years of bad scholarship.

A Century
Turns:
New Fears, New Hopes -- America 1988 to 2008
by William J. Bennett
Former U.S. Education Secretary William J. Bennett has given us one of the most gripping and memorable versions of the American story ever told: the
two epic volumes of America: The Last Best Hope, which cover Columbus’s discovery of the New World in the fifteenth century to the fall
of world Communism in the twentieth. He had intended to stop there -- but so much has changed in the last twenty years that he has now brought his
saga up to date with A Century Turns: New
Fears, New Hopes -- America 1988 to 2008. It has been a tumultuous and eventful twenty years. Two decades ago, John McCain had only
been in the Senate for two years. Colin Powell had just become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Fox News Channel didn’t exist. The word
“email” meant nothing to anyone, and “Amazon” was a river in South America. Saddam Hussein held a firm grip on power in Iraq,
and the Ayatollah Khomeini still inspired terror and religious fervor in Iran. George W. Bush was the fairly undistinguished son of the president of
the United States. And an ambitious young man named Barack Hussein Obama was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

America: America: The Last Best Hope, Volume I: From the Age of Discovery to a World at War
by William Bennett
America: The Last Best
Hope is a vibrant and unashamedly patriotic account of what has made this country great. Enormous (512 pages) and sweeping in scope,
this first volume begins before the Founding of the United States and ends as World War I looms in Europe. Unlike modern-day Leftist-influenced
histories that treat the American story largely as a series of missteps and injustices, this book is filled with the glory, romance, and uniqueness of
the American experience. Bennett tells the truth, gets the facts out, corrects the record, and puts forward a reasoned, balanced presentation of the
American story. In the process, he doesn't shrink from any hard truths about our nation's past; but he wrote this book because he recognized how
desperately we need to recover pride in our past -- if we are to have any future at all. Says Bennett: " America was, is, and -- we pray -- will
continue to be the place where more than anyplace else, dreams actually do come true."

The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran
by Robert Spencer
If we don't know the Koran, we can't defeat the jihadists: Osama bin Laden, the masterminds of 9/11 and those who have perpetrated the
over 13,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11 repeatedly point to it as their inspiration and authority, explaining that they're committing acts of
terrorism and hate because of it. Yet the Koran is not an easy read -- it has been called "wrist-slittingly boring," as well as confusing,
contradictory, and muddled. But Robert Spencer reads the Koran so that you don't have to! Now, in The Complete Infidel's Guide to the
Koran, Spencer, the bestselling author and Islam expert, shows exactly what's in the Koran, and why every military and intelligence
official -- and every American -- should be concerned about this revered and reviled holy book. This witty and breezily written guide to the Koran
explains who those who have vowed to destroy us think they are, what they think they're doing, and what they hope to accomplish.

A New
American Tea Party:
The Counterrevolution against Bailouts, Handouts, Reckless Spending, and More Taxes
by John M. O'Hara
In the Boston Tea Party, American revolutionaries fought for liberty against tyrants in a far-off land -- England. Today, a new generation of
revolutionaries known as "tea partiers" are fighting for liberty against tyrants in a different far-off land -- Washington, D.C. The issues are no
longer tea tariffs and imperial rule, but bailouts and handouts, stimulus programs, carbon taxes, socialized health care, and other outrages -- all
being perpetrated against the will and interests of the people. Now, in A New American Tea Party: The Counterrevolution
against Bailouts, Handouts, Reckless Spending, and More Taxes, John O'Hara presents the voices behind this fast-growing movement,
and shows how, contrary to liberal claims that it is somehow "un-American," it is actually an all-American response to a tyrannical assault on
country's founding principles.
