Obama zombies : how the liberal machine brainwashed my generation by Mattera, Jason.(CARDINAL)498913;

Includes bibliographical references (pages [209]-238) and index.The media muzzle and the hope-a-dope mantra -- Will you be my (Facebook) friend? -- The Dave Matthews electoral magnet-and other ways to manufacture a crowd -- The peacenik phantom -- Global-warming ghouls -- Health-care hypnosis -- The economic Igor -- I want my MTV -- The dynamic duo : Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.In 2008, Barack Obama lobotomized a generation. For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history. Top young conservative activist Jason Mattera created an internet sensation with ambush video interviews that exposed clueless young liberals and cunning Democratic officials. Now he reveals the jaw-dropping lengths Obama and his allies in Hollywood, Washington, and Academia went to in order to transform a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching followers into a winning coalition that threatens to become a long-lasting political realignment. Obama Zombies uncovers the true, behind-the-scenes story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign unleashed on youth culture. Through personal interviews and meticulous original research, Mattera explains why conservatism's future rests upon jolting the young masses from their slumber.--From publisher description.

The next great migration : the beauty and terror of life on the move / by Shah, Sonia,author.(CARDINAL)643574;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Exodus -- Panic -- Linnaeus's loathsome harlotry -- The deadly hybrid -- The suicidal zombie migrant -- Malthus's hideous blasphemy -- Homo migratio -- The wild alien -- The migrant formula -- The wall -- Coda: Safe passage."A prize-winning journalist upends our centuries-long assumptions about migration through science, history, and reporting--predicting its lifesaving power in the face of climate change. The news today is full of stories of dislocated people on the move. Wild species, too, are escaping warming seas and desiccated lands, creeping, swimming, and flying in a mass exodus from their past habitats. News media presents this scrambling of the planet's migration patterns as unprecedented, provoking fears of the spread of disease and conflict and waves of anxiety across the Western world. On both sides of the Atlantic, experts issue alarmed predictions of millions of invading aliens, unstoppable as an advancing tsunami, and countries respond by electing anti-immigration leaders who slam closed borders that were historically porous. But the science and history of migration in animals, plants, and humans tell a different story. Far from being a disruptive behavior to be quelled at any cost, migration is an ancient and lifesaving response to environmental change, a biological imperative as necessary as breathing. Climate changes triggered the first human migrations out of Africa. Falling sea levels allowed our passage across the Bering Sea. Unhampered by barbed wire, migration allowed our ancestors to people the planet, catapulting us into the highest reaches of the Himalayan mountains and the most remote islands of the Pacific, creating and disseminating the biological, cultural, and social diversity that ecosystems and societies depend upon. In other words, migration is not the crisis--it is the solution. Conclusively tracking the history of misinformation from the 18th century through today's anti-immigration policies, The Next Great Migration makes the case for a future in which migration is not a source of fear, but of hope"--
