Counter-Culture & Politically Incorrect
Challenging the Myths
Propagated by Mainstream American Media
You may hate American conservatives, or you may love them. Either way, the books below provide perspectives that are thought-provoking and quite different from what are provided to us by the main-stream American media.
On Religion
In this book, journalist Dave Shiflett explores the most important religious development of our times: the abandonment of the politicized mainline churches in favor of Evangelicalism, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Not so long ago, Bible-believing Christianity was commonly seen as "yesterday's religion"; now it is more accurately viewed as demography's religion of tomorrow. Shiflett has talked to many people at the forefront of the movement back to orthodoxy. One of them – Southern Baptist leader Richard Land – says of his liberal opponents "I'd rather be playing our hand than theirs".
Dan Brown's #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, has been entertaining readers with its tale of a conspiracy to suppress the "supposed" truth about Jesus and early Christianity. Now, Prof. Darrel Bock dismantles the reckless, quasi-nonfiction claims made in Brown's novel – and shows how they are misleading millions of unsuspecting readers.
I am not Catholic but the writeup for this book piqued my interest. – The Catholic church has shaped our civilization to a far greater degree than most people – Catholics included – have been taught. Thomas E. Woods, Jr., reveals how the Church's imprint can be found on every major achievement and institution of the West – from science and economics, to international law and "just war" theory, to the university system and organized charity.
The unvarnished, "politically incorrect" truth about Islam – including the shocking facts about its founder, Mohammad; its persecutions of Christians, Jews, Hindus, and other "infidels'; its cruel mistreatment of women; the colossal myth of its cultural "golden age"; its irreformable commitment to global conquest by any means necessary; the spiritual struggle that faces us; and what we must do if we wish to survive.
On History
PC propagandists have rewritten America's history – but this history book is different: it's true ! This book is a one-volume guide to America's past that has one key advantage over today's dozens of dreary PC history books: this one tells you what really happened—not what liberals wish had happened.
On Judicial Tyranny
From same-sex marriage, illegal immigration, and economic socialism to partial birth abortion, political speech and terrorist's "rights" judges have abused their constitutional mandate by imposing their personal prejudices and beliefs on the rest of society. No radical political movement has been more effective in undermining our system. And we, the people, need not stand for it.
On Leftist-Socialist Liberalism
From the bloggers who demolished Dan Rather, to the Swift Boat Veterans who sank John Kerry, to the gleeful anti-political correctness of such comedic send-ups as South Park and Team America, the American media landscape has suffered an earthquake. South Park Conservatives is an inside peek at how conservatives and the politically incorrect "anti-liberals" are starting to win the culture war – and are having fun doing it.
She's the most high-profile conservative intellectual on the scene today. Yet most publications find her too hot to handle. Her syndicated column appears in only a handful of papers. But now, in this book, Ann Coulter collects the best of these columns, including some that no one dared to print before.
In this refreshing and insightful look at the elites, Laura Ingraham unmasks the shallowness of elite thinking and reveals that is they, not we, who are the stupid ones – and that loudmouth liberals like Barbara Streisand would do better to just "shut up and sing".
As with any culture, some aspects of African-American culture are truly inspiring and ennobling, and some aspects are dysfunctional. Thomas Sowell show how white liberals have turned the dysfunctional parts of African-American culture into a sacrosanct symbol of racial identity. The attempts of many African-Americans to escape from dysfunctional cultural patterns have been consistently and repeatedly hampered by white liberals.
A child of immigrants, Michael Savage diagnoses "the mental disorder of liberalism" and offers a comprehensive cure-all. With grit, guts, and gusto, Michael Savage has made his talk show "The Savage Nation" a must-hear by fearlessly telling it like it is. Night after night, Savage savages today's rabid liberalism with verve and precision, speaking truths that other public figures are too politically correct to say.
Despite their failure in 2004, liberals have built the biggest, most effective political machine in American history – and they're working hard now to make it even stronger. But they're no longer able to do it under cover of darkness. Byron York tears the cover off this well-oiled machine, exposing its innermost workings and showing how it is continuing to trransform American politics.
Ann Coulter on liberals: "They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant." Coulter contends that liberals have stood with the enemies of America's interests in every major crisis from the fight against Communism to today's war on terrorism.
Mona Charen has a loyal following from her syndicated newspaper column (which runs in more than two hundred newspapers) and her many television and radio appearances. Her first book, Useful Idiots, was an eight-week New York Times bestseller. In Do-Gooders, Charen focuses on the facts to reveal exactly why liberals are wrong—and how their proposals hurt the very people they claim to be fighting for, as well as the country as a whole. It covers topics such as: Education: Do-gooders send their own kids to private schools while working to deny poor children a better education through voucher programs. Welfare: Do-gooders thought welfare reform in the 1990s would hurt the poor, and they still refuse to admit how much it actually helped. …
While Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich spearheaded the Contract with America – which brought us the first tax cut in sixteen years, real welfare reform, balanced budgets, and a strengthened militiry. In his latest book, he details how we can defeat secularist extremism and liberalism and restore the values that made American a great nation.
