3 Things about Islam
The following video gives three basic truths about Islam that I believe every westerner needs to know before confronting so-called "radical" Islam.
For more study, I highly recommend reading through Robert Spencer's Qur'an Commentary (you have to scroll to the bottom and read the articles from the bottom up).

Calvin Coolidge
On Friday he did a great show on Calvin Coolidge, a president I knew very little about (which is sad since I lived a large chunk of my life in a house on Coolidge Street in Wichita Kansas).

Restoring History: Calvin Coolidge Still Matters
Glenn Beck Show- August 13, 2010
Tonight, we continue the Restoring History series with the President that progressives NEED you to forget about-Calvin Coolidge. Ronald Reagan's favorite President, Coolidge drastically reduced the size of government and thwarted a depression in the early 20's that was bigger and deeper than the Great Depression that began in 1929. The country was in bad shape when he took office..but when he left, we were in the Roaring Twenties. Coolidge was probably one of the best Presidents we've ever had. So, just what was his secret? Find out tonight.
On a side note, I'm glad I stumbled across this web site as Glenn's show comes on either while I'm at work or late at night and I don't have a DVR.
