    The Political Pope: How Pope Francis Is Delighting the Liberal Left and Abandoning Conservatives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    The untold story of the Left's efforts to politicize the Vatican and the battle to stop it - before the Catholic Church as we know it is destroyed. Pope Francis is the most liberal pope in the history of the Catholic Church. He is not only championing the causes of the global Left but also undermining centuries-old Catholic teaching and practice. In the words of the late radical Tom Hayden, his election was "more miraculous, if you will, than the rise of Barack Obama in 2008". But to Catholics in the pews, his pontificate is a source of alienation. It is a pontificate, at times, beyond parody: Francis is the first pope to approve of adultery, flirt with proposals to bless gay marriages and cohabitation, tell atheists not to convert, tell Catholics to not breed "like rabbits", praise the Koran, support a secularized Europe, and celebrate Martin Luther. At a time of widespread moral relativism, Pope Francis is not defending the church's teachings but diluting them. At a time of Christian persecution, he is not strengthening Catholic identity but weakening it. Where other popes sought to save souls, he prefers to "save the planet" and play politics, from habitual capitalism bashing to his support for open borders and pacifism. In The Political Pope, George Neumayr gives listeners what the media won't: a bracing look at the liberal revolution that Pope Francis is advancing in the church. To the radical academic Cornel West, "Pope Francis is a gift from heaven". To many conservative Catholics, he is the worst pope in centuries. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Holden Still.

    Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    The era of hope and change is dead...and it only took six months in office to kill it. Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals: Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites: bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet - including Hillary Clinton - are trying to hide Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration How Team Obama's first 100 days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends.In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden. ungekürzt.

    Democrats Are so Dumb: They Probably Think This Book Is about Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
    Democrats are so dumb they think it's cool to have a jackass for their party symbol. The association goes back to the election of 1828. Andrew Jackson's opponents started calling him Jackass Jackson as a term of derision. The story is the old general took a shine to the name and started printing up posters with a picture of a jackass next to his name. Over the years the symbol just sort of stuck. Sometime in the 1870s humorist Thomas Nast created a cartoon for Harper's Weekly that portrayed the Democratic jackass and the newly created Republican elephant. Ever since then they've been the party mascots. Pretty appropriate if you think about it, one is an ass, and the other one drops a really big load. Politics 101. All it takes is an ass and a really big load of shit. Put the two together and you've got a politician. This book is a snarky, somewhat twisted look at politics. Along the way, you'll meet Obama, Clinton, and Biden. Even though it's a book about democrats we're going to do a little Bush bashing - father and son. If you dislike Democrats this may be the book for you. If you dislike politics in general, this may be the book for you. I'm a political agnostic. I've got no love for Democrats, Republicans, or the Tea Party. And, yes, that irreverence shows throughout the book. If you're fed up with politics, politicians, and all of their BS - Read this book, and register a vote for sanity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Wright.

    Alpha-Männer. Die Wurzel aller Probleme dieser Welt: Und das hyper-männliche Prinzip
    Warnung! Dieses Hörbuch ist nichts für Männer, die sich selbst für ein 'Alpha-Männchen' halten oder zart besaitet sind. Warum? Weil dieses Hörbuch aufzeigen wird, warum gerade 'Alphas', 'Hypermännchen', 'echte Männer', die Ursache für das immer wiederkehrende Leid von Völkermorden, Kriegen, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption und Wirtschaftskollapsen sind. Genau diese Vorwürfe lassen sogenannte 'Hypermännchen' und kritikunfähige 'Alphas' erfahrungsgemäß sofort laut aufheulen und reflexartig um sich beißen. Dennoch bestimmt genau dieser Männertypus seit Jahrtausenden das Wohl und Wehe von Milliarden Menschen. Nicht etwa, weil sie die Besten und am Geeignetsten für diese Aufgabe wären, sondern vielmehr deshalb, weil es ihnen mit ihrem unbedingten Machtwillen und ihrer brutalen Rücksichtslosigkeit gelungen ist, ein ganz auf sie und ihren Egoismus zugeschnittenes Gesellschaftssystem zu etablieren: die hierarchische Pyramide. In diesem Pyramiden-System manifestiert sich das männliche Prinzip so überproportional, dass Völkermorde, Kriege, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption, Verteilungskämpfe und Wirtschaftskollapse unausweichliche Folgen sind. Glauben Sie nicht? Zu weit hergeholt und wieder mal nur böses, ungerechtes, gehässiges Männer-Bashing? Dann begeben Sie sich mit Lille Adams auf Spurensuche. Mit unverstelltem Blick. Lassen Sie dabei das perfektionierte Brain-washing, das jedem von uns in der patriarchal-hierarchischen Pyramide von Kindesbeinen an zuteil geworden ist, hinter sich. Wir wünschen Ihnen viele, erhellende Momente.

    The Woman's Guide to How Men Think: Love, Commitment, and the Male Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min
    Comedian George Carlin once said, "Women are from earth. Men are from earth. Just deal with it." Though witty, this sentiment fails to recognize one of the real truths in life: that both genders are completely mystified by one another, and often have a mile-long list of complaints for the opposite sex. Yet, generally speaking, both men and women want to get along—especially if there's romance involved. A Woman's Guide to How Men Think offers a practical, humorous, yet compassionate guide for women who want to learn the secrets of the elusive male mind. With author Shawn Smith's trademark humor, you'll come to understand why men think and see the world the way they do, and how to work with men to cultivate understanding and communication in relationships, without expecting men to be creatures that they are not. This isn't a male-bashing book about how men should be more like women, but a book about how men actually are, and how women can use this understanding to get what they need from their relationships. You'll also learn why men often feel frustrated and criticized, how to deal with lack of communication in ways that don't put men on the defensive, and how being curious and compassionate (while not accepting disrespectful or abusive behavior) instead of dismissing men for their inherently male traits can lead to greater understanding between the sexes. The plain truth is that both men and women are from planet earth. But that doesn't mean we are the same. If you are looking for an insider's guide to the ever-elusive male mind, this is the audiobook for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Aulridge.

    Fighting the Good Fight: Why On-Ice Violence Is Killing Hockey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    A veteran hockey writer takes on hockey culture and the NHL, addressing the game's most controversial issue. Whether it's on-ice fist fights or head shots into the glass, hockey has become a nightly news spectacle with players pummeling and bashing each other across the ice like drunken gladiators. And while the NHL may actually condone on-ice violence as a ticket draw, diehard hockey fan and expert Adam Proteau argues against hockey's transformation into a thuggish blood sport. In Fighting the Good Fight, Proteau sheds light on the many perspectives of those in and around the game, with interviews of current and former NHL stars, coaches, general managers, and league executives, as well as medical experts. One of the most well-known media figures on the hockey scene today, famous for his funny, feisty observations as a writer for the Toronto Star and The Hockey News and commentator on CBC radio and TV, Adam Proteau is also one of the few mainstream media voices who is vehemently anti-fighting in hockey. Not only is his book a plea to the game's gatekeepers to finally clamp down on the runaway violence that permeates the sport even at its highest level, he offers realistic suggestions on ways to finally clean the game up.Includes interviews with medical experts on head injuries and concussions, as well as with other members of the mediaThe author not only wages an attack on the value of fighting in hockey, but also on the establishment hockey culture Covering the most polarizing issue in hockey today, Fighting the Good Fight gives hockey fans and sports lovers everywhere a reason to stamp their feet and whistle at a rare display of eloquence and common sense. ungekürzt.

    The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 947min
    The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds takes you on a merry romp with a band of twenty-something idealists looking for love and hoping to change the world in an alternate universe in which the Kennedys were not assassinated and the Vietnam War ended before it began. Joining in the fun are President Richard Nixon and Dr. Timothy Leary, the escaped convict Nixon calls "the most dangerous man in the world" for turning America's youth into no-good hippies. Nixon is the same profane, venal S-O-B that made him such a hit in our universe, but here he is unleashed in a world where there was no Vietnam War to slow him down and Watergate is just a fancy hotel. Elected on a pledge to wage an unrelenting "war on drugs," Nixon instead confronts a different kind of war: an energy war. The Arab oil embargo is driving the country toward a second Great Depression as motorists line up for hours to buy gasoline at any price. Desperate for alternatives to oil, Nixon learns of a plant which produces three times more biomass per acre than corn. America could farm its way to energy independence in just five short years. A secret weapon has dropped in Nixon's lap, but he is shocked to learn that, under another name, the secret weapon which could defeat the oil cartel is a primary target of his War on Drugs. If he can lead America to energy independence by convincing conservatives to legalize cultivation of the plant Thomas Jefferson called "America's most valuable crop" in the name of national security, the final spot on Mount Rushmore will be his. Nixon knows that only a law-and-order, hippie-bashing conservative like himself could hope to buck America's richest families and most powerful corporations to pull off a caper this crazy. ungekürzt.

    Everybody Is Awful: Except You! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    A rant-ish memoir by the veteran stand-up comedian and former cohost of That Metal Show, with a foreword by Jim Norton. Twitter Trolls. Facebook Freaks. Instagram Exhibitionists. These are just a few of the creatures our technology-obsessed culture has spawned in its quest to simplify our lives. The madness is so universal now that everyone has dealt with it. You log in to Facebook, read a stupid post, and immediately want to tell your "friend" to go have relations with himself. Sure, social media may keep us connected, but it is a breeding ground for idiots, and these idiots have crowd-sourced a storm of useless information, corny jokes, and douchebag drama that's wasting our time and screwing with our peace of mind. Thankfully, popular comedian and television host Jim Florentine has a solution for those of us on the verge of bashing our iPhones to bits. In Everybody Is Awful, Florentine attacks awful people and awful situations with the same biting satire and cringe-worthy humor that made him famous on television shows like Crank Yankers, Meet the Creeps, and That Metal Show. Along the way, Everybody Is Awful takes listeners through the author's formative years, a time filled with rebellion and horrible behavior, to the crazy early days of his career as a stand-up comedian. Florentine also recounts how he developed an obsession with pranks that morphed into his uniquely vigilante style of comedy and made him one of the most legendary prank callers of all time.Florentine excels at channeling the core rage we all feel at the seemingly small annoyances of life, and his fans love the cathartic experience of his hilarious ranting and raving, a tradition continued in Everybody Is Awful. Acting as a de facto therapist, Florentine diagnoses awful behavior, shames awful people, and offers comedic takes on how to reclaim our lives from it all.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Right Kind of Crazy: A True Story of Teamwork, Leadership, and High-Stakes Innovation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
    From Adam Steltzner, who led the Entry, Descent, and Landing team in landing the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars, comes a profound book about breakthrough innovation in the face of the impossible.The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is home to some of history’s most jaw-dropping feats of engineering. When NASA needed to land Curiosity - a 2,000-pound, $2.5 billion rover - on the surface of Mars, 140 million miles away, they turned to JPL. Steltzner’s team couldn’t test their kooky solution, the Sky Crane. They were on an unmissable deadline, and the world would be watching when they succeeded - or failed. At the helm of this effort was an unlikely rocket scientist and accidental leader, Adam Steltzner. After barely graduating from high school, he followed his curiosity to the local community college to find out why the stars moved. Soon he discovered an astonishing gift for math and physics. After getting his PhD he ensconced himself within JPL, NASA’s decidedly unbureaucratic cousin, where success in a mission is the only metric that matters.  The Right Kind of Crazy is a first-person account of innovation that is relevant to any­one working in science, art, or technology. For instance, Steltzner describes:How his team learned to switch from fear-based to curiosity-based decision makingHow to escape “The Dark Room” - the creative block caused by fear, uncertainty, and the lack of a clear path forwardHow to tell when we’re too in love with our own ideas to be objective about them - and, conversely, when to fight for themHow to foster mutual respect within teams while still bashing bad ideas The Right Kind of Crazy is a book for anyone who wants to channel their craziness into creativity, balance discord and harmony, and find a signal in a flood of noise. ungekürzt.
