A scary look at where the Progressives/Marxist are taking us
589667
This book is a must read for all those Americans who have not yet been awakened to the long term goals of our home grown and the international Progressive/Marxists and the kind of a world we or our children will live in if we do not stop this movement. The turnaround will not be easy without educating the masses since the Progressive/Marxists already control the White House and many leadership positions in the Congress.  This book is one little step in that education process.

Old-school economic Conservative Kevin Phillips confronts some of the most vexing issues facing the United States today.  Pulling no punches in this enthralling volume, Phillips blasts some of the most dangerous wings of the right today, namely madcap religious fundamentalists and big spending pet-project-earmark-pushing Republicans who no longer have Democrats to hide behind now that they're in control of the National Senate, House, and White House.  While not a perfect academic work as far as citing sources, the author forcefully debates real issues which threaten to have long-term effects on us and our children.

As a non-partisan without party affiliation, I appreciate Phillips stand and introspection concerning his own party's beliefs and actions.  It takes a lot of courage to examine those in power.  Our leaders have shown they need constant supervision and shouldn't have a free pass to do whatever they please.  Conservative, liberal, or otherwise, they work for and represent us--We The People!  So Phillips willingness to step up and provoke the wrath of the mealymouthed yes-men now weilding control over so much (media, gas, taxes) is welcome.

We should worry about issues concerning our constitutional rights, and we most certainly should be concerned about the absurd build-up of debt, loss of jobs in the American Manufacturing sector, and the insidious spread of blind irreason in our society.  Looking at the madness of theocratic regimes such as Iran should have kept our vision straight and sober.  It is time for people to act and express their discontent with the present embarassing incompetence in government.  Bravo, Mr. Phillips.

A wake up call!! This eerily prophetic book should serve as warning to all of the horrors of collectivist totalitarianism and of the seductive snares that lead us there. This books best value is a warning against collectivist totalitarianism. It is all the more scary, because of the stark parallel between the trilateral blocs of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia and our world with the European Union and it's developing superstate counterparts, the American Union and Asian Union.

If you read this book and it doesn't scare you, you haven't read closely enough.  The ludicrous degree to which the federal government now interferes with and intrudes upon our daily lives is disgusting, and it's only getting worse.  Levin details, step-by-step, how this has happened over the past 75-100 years.  From entitlement programs to fear-mongering on environmental issues, to immigration, he discusses it all.  This is the kind of conservative ideology we need in D.C.

This book is a gripping analysis of what has gone wrong in American society to produce the gap between rich and poor that is easily the widest in the developed world, and according to the author, the biggest wealth divide in the entire world. It's a frightening read. It traces the unwillingness to enfranchise and educate black Americans from slavery and the Civil War to Jim Crow to today's mass incarceration. It shows how the unwillingness of Southern states to accept black Americans as citizens, or grant them even minimal benefits--like Social Security which most black Americans didn't get until the 1950s--has also held back poor whites. If you travel in Europe, and you see the shimmering mass transportation system, the free universities, the low crime rates, and the national health care systems, you will have to compare it with the hollowed-out Rust Belt cities of today's America. It's obvious why upward mobility has died in America, and the dream of a vibrant middle class, low infant mortality rate, and longer life span has moved to Europe.

From the dedication to "Lucifer" to the specific mental derangement of communist ideals ... I learned exactly what makes Obama tick.  The ideas are slick and almost mesmerizing.  I was a child of the sixtys and was reminded how an immature youngster searching for meaning in life .. can receive a head full of all the wrong answers.  I bought this book because I suspected it might tell me just how this enemy to all that is America - thinks.  Knowing the actual presentation he made to the American public and comparing the words contained in this book, it is absolutely scarey. Obama follows the script to the bone. From Obama's unoriginal idea to sell the idea of "change" on to the many radical deceptions... they are ALL the recooked dogma born from this Alinsky charade.  This is definitely a view inside the evil mind of a man who made "Rules for Radicals" his bible. Just place the template of the communist-muslim's many illegal actions against this book.  We are in for a ride much worse than expected.

For anyone seeking answers to the ongoing societal calamities that engulf mankind today, Melanie Phillips scintillating expose clearly shows the destruction is demonstrably "man-made".

Ms. Phillips traces the lineage of those who are responsible for our plight and spotlights the truly pernicious strain of nihilistic individuals who all claimed to be altruistic; claimed to be doing good deeds for the masses; claimed to be freeing the masses from tyranny; to set the masses free, but rather were responsible for the violent death of upwards of one hundred millions of children, women and men in the name of radical egalitarian utopianism.  From Nietzsche to Hegel to Marx to Robespierre to Lenin to Stalin to Hitler to Mao to Pol Pot to Castro to Che to the Muslim Brotherhood and the conspiracy of the International Left to completely destroy Western civilization, Melanie Phillips skewers those who have the monumental effrontery and unmitigated audacity to think they have the right to remake mankind in THEIR image - the pseudo intellectual class of parasites who have (and still do) infest world philosophy, politics and academia.

Gar has written another great book that any American radical leftist or,progressive should read and study.
There are far more choices than the ugly capitalism we have now and statist instances of attempted socialism culminating in corrupt military dictatorships such as USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, and arguably Vietnam.
Many of Gar's ideas line up with those of economist Dr. Richard Wolff, Kshaha Sawant and others. It's time for a 21st/22nd centuries and beyond socialism.

Absolute must see if you want to know the REAL story behind the movement, how radicals who worship Saul Alinsky were behind the movement, and the purposeful division of the classes soon to be followed by the now prominent division of races to start a race war in this country. If you feel that we are being pushed into socialism and being forced to be dependent on the government, this is a great place to start (along with the book 1984 - which was written by George Orwell, a man that spun propaganda for the British government before he became a successful "fiction" writer)

What a scary look at the Spider's web of hard left politics. Like a metastatic cancer, almost, luckily almost, trapping our constitutional republic in a dark but determined conspiracy  to irreversibly change our free form of life into a socialist paradise for big brother.

If you are concerned about the left-wing liberal direction our country is heading in, this is a must read!

The Growing Gap between those that believe in Honor, Integrity and Values and those that sell themselves out to socialism and lack of personal accountabilty is pointed out so well in these reviews.

There is a dark and toxic cloud moving over America and I am afraid that too many do not see it coming. These reviews are a microcosm of the divide that is crippling America.

The premise of Card's book is all too real and frightening.

Political Correctness is a tool that the "Dark Side" is using to emasculate and neutralize those that hold values of absolute right and wrong and is a part of the set-up for the coming real conflict.

Card paints a picture that is daily coming closer to reality.

This is a must read for those that want to see how things will evolve in the near future.

It felt I needed to read what the progressive hang so much of their lives on. It find his thinking to be well defined but his conclusions are from someone who just enjoys hating anyone who has succeeded at all financially or otherwise. They is absolutely no consideration given to personal responsibility for your life.
The man is a mirror of Leninist ideas. Tear it all down and we'll worry about what to do with it later. It's so very sad and scary that so may of our current pols adhere to such nihilism.

This book is beyond terrifying. Jeff Sharlet takes you inside the organization known as "The Family", a Christian fundamentalist group which has a lot of influence over many of our elected leaders and private industry CEOs. This organization is dirty and, from my viewpoint, is partially to blame for the condition of our nation. I strongly recommend anyone with an interest in government read this. It's very eye opening and terrifying.

This is the business plan of the Progressive Party.  It is the Mein Kampf of the Democrat.  I commend it.  It is always good to know what the train that is about to hit you looks like.  Gives you a chance to dodge.

Excellent work - a must read! It's incredibly scary how the SJW Marxists are shutting down free speech and decent. They are the most intolerant people on Earth and Free Speech Isn't Free exposes their disgusting tactics. This book is critical for anybody concerned about First Amendment rights and human rights, in general. The author is a good writer who gives life to the story.
