Our Mission |
Big government is not simply the size of the budget, or the number of federal programs; it is the role the federal government plays in our daily lives.
We at the Lincoln Heritage Institute will not sit idly by and allow bloated bureaucracies, burdensome tax policies, a failing public education system, an out-of-control regulatory system, and a growing disregard for the rule of law to become an accepted way of life.
Our purpose, through public education, is the revitalization and preservation of our traditional political, social, commercial, and legal environment in which the only limits to achievement are individual ability and effort. |

America’s Native Criminal Class
Locking up energy, driving up prices and destroying jobs to “save the planet”
by Paul Driessen
Editor’s Note: The Warner-Lieberman climate bill may be dead for this year, but it will assuredly be back – and it is symptomatic of the regressive, anti-energy legislation that has typified all too many congressional initiatives in recent decades. This week’s commentary analyzes the climate change and energy laws that continue to defy common sense – and derail the dreams and aspirations of countless American families.
It’s no wonder Congress of Racial Equality Chairman Roy Innis refers to them as “Jim Crow energy policies.” Their adverse impact on minority and other poor families is incalculable.
If Mark Twain thought Congress was America’s only distinctly native criminal class a century ago, what would he think today?

Blacklisted by History:
The Untold Story of Sen. Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies
by M. Stanton Evans
Drawing on primary sources – including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States – Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets.… Blacklisted by History provides the first accurate account of what McCarthy did and, more broadly, what happened to America during the Cold War. It is a revealing exposé of the forces that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its history since. — Amazon.com |

The Venona Secrets, Exposing Soviet Espionage and America's Traitors
by Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel
Romerstein and Breindel intend to create a new impression of treacherous Americans “who willfully gave their primary allegiance to a foreign power, the USSR.... For Communists, true patriotism meant helping to make the world a better place by advancing the interests of the Soviet Union in any way possible.” By using the now-celebrated Venona documents – top-secret Soviet cables sent between Moscow and Washington, D.C., in the 1940s – Romerstein and Breindel tell a frightening story of how deeply spies penetrated the U.S. government. — Amazon.com |

The Haunted Wood: Soviet Espionage in America – The Stalin Era
by Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev
The Haunted Wood fills in a valuable part of cold war history: the Soviet Union's attempts to spy on the United States from the time of FDR's New Deal, through the Second World War, and into the 1950s. — Amazon.com
The authors write as historians, not polemicists, eschewing both cheap moralism and apologetics..... [P]acked with plenty of intriguing characters and cloak-and-dagger tales of secrecy, subversion and betrayal. This is an important contribution to the history of the Cold War. — Publishers Weekly |
