Hardback. Zustand: Good. From concussion doctors pushing "science? that benefits their hidden business interests to lawyers clamoring for billion-dollar settlements in scam litigation, America?s game has become so big that everybody wants a cut. And those chasing the dollars show themselves more than willing to trash a great sport in hot pursuit of a buck.Everything they say about football is wrong. Football players don?t commit suicide at elevated levels, die younger than their peers, or suffer disproportionately from heart disease. In fact, professional players live longer, healthier lives than American men in general.More than that, football is America?s most popular sport. It brings us together. It is, and has been, a rite of passage for millions of American boys.But fear over concussions and other injuries could put football on ice. School districts are already considering doing away with football as too dangerous. Parents who used to see football as character-building now worry that it may be mind-destroying.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The American flag stands for hatred, warmongering, and imperialism.Our free-market system is responsible for killing and oppressing millions of people.This country breeds racists and sexists. Is America really that bad? It is if you accept the lies and propaganda from the anti-American Left in our own country. This dismal, distorted view of the greatest, freest nation in history comes from a Left who would rather idolize Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro than honor George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who burn down businesses and destroy property to protest free markets, and who fight alongside radical terrorists rather than against them. They trample the Constitution while hiding behind the First Amendment, and their idea of displaying the American flag is setting it on fire and parading it through the streets. Yes, this is a Left comprised of people who truly hate their country, and they will stop at nothing to tear her down--smashing our liberty in the process. Why the Left Hates America punches a hole right through the thin veneer of political correctness that has long protected these anti-Americans--exposing their rotting, vacuous core. Author and commentator Daniel J. Flynn digs deep into the American Left and reveals why they blame every bad deed in the world on the United States, while ignoring her myriad contributions. This book cogently points out that, of course, all Americans have the right to speak their minds. But, all too often, the actions by the anti-American Left become destructive and anarchistic. You need not look any further than the explosive 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, campus book burnings, or even John Walker Lindh to see that factions on the Left are the worst perpetrators of anti-Americanism. And what may be most shocking is that many of these anti-Americans are at the same time teachers, professors, journalists, news reporters, and even judges and politicians. Probing and controversial--without devolving into jingoism--this book proves once and for all that what you see in the news and learn in school is often tainted by the anti-American Left, and it shows you what you can do to keep them at bay. A compelling, breezy look at the political myopia and downright kookiness that characterizes the radical Left.The book shines when Flynn catalogs the excesses of people who loathe everything the United States has ever touched.The final chapter, a catalog of what's good about America, works even better.--Weekly Standard Piece by piece, Flynn demolishes the underpinnings of the knee-jerk anti-American bias that makes so many thinking people cringe at the sight of their own nation's flag. --John McWhorter, author of Losing the Race A wonderful book documenting that with the collapse of the Soviet Union and socialism, the American Left is left alone with its one motivating idea: hatred of America.--Grover Norquist, American Spectator An indispensable weapon in the battle for America's future. --David Horowitz, author of Hating Whitey Read this book and learn how to take our country back, before it's too late. --Tammy Bruce, author of The Death of Right and Wrong It is not so hard to understand why some foreigners hate America. Much more puzzling is why many on the American Left detest their country and work assiduously for its destruction. Dan Flynn exposes these America-haters and gives intellectual ammunition to thinking patriots. --Dinesh D'Souza, author of What's So Great About America.…
