Conservative Politics

Why do conservatives always seem to lose, even when Republicans win? With considerable firsthand experience in politics and an engaging, analytical perspective, Steve Deace provides the answer.

From a leading voice among young conservatives, an impassioned argument that to stay relevant the Republican Party must look beyond short-term electoral gains and re-commit to historic conservative values. In 1963 Richard Hofstadter published his landmark book Anti-Intellectualism in American Life. Today, Matt Lewis argues, America's inclination toward simplicity and stupidity is stronger than ever, and its greatest victim is the Republican Party.

The next red wave is coming: November 3, 2020. We face battles on many fronts. The Deep State bureaucracy will stop at nothing to undermine the conservative agenda, even when that's the agenda chosen by the American voter. The liberal bureaucracy will continue to work alongside former liberal government officials from, yes, the Obama Administration and Team Clinton. In this election, the Left's prized goal - exclusively - will be defeating President Donald Trump by whatever means necessary.

The 2016 election is conservatives' last, best chance to take back the country. So how can they win? The answer, conservative columnist and analyst Ed Morrissey says, depends on seven battleground counties in swing states Republicans must win. Each county pulled for Obama in one or both of the last two elections, but after eight years of misadventures under the Obama administration, the door is open for Republicans to win them - and the presidency - once again, making a decisive mandate against progressivism for the generation to come.

Politics are a detail in the story of what we call ideology. After a six-year effort that involved three tours of the US, help from dozens of the world's top academic experts, and hundreds of interviews with conservatives, writer and researcher J. Scott Wagner brings us on a rollicking tour of the conservative mind, looking at them through the lens of five sciences: neurology/cognitive psychology, personality, bias, social conformity, and morality.

Working class, blue-collar voters are staying home in droves instead of going to the polls to support Republicans. The reason? Despite their deeply conservative values, they don't think Republicans speak for them and their interests. In Blue Collar Conservatives, former presidential candidate Rick Santorum explains how we can reenergize the Republican base by showing these blue-collar Americans just how much Republican policies support their personal welfare and by making government the people's servant rather than the people's master.

The newly discovered diary of Boris Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson, aged 13¼, provides a fascinating glimpse into how Boris, a lazy, bumptious and overweening child, comes to believe he should be Prime Minister. Along the way, we see him hone the techniques and persona that will one day hoodwink a nation.

Immigrants have no rights! America is founded on Christianity! Unlimited guns are my birthright! These are just a handful of arguments being shouted by vocal conservatives even though the Constitution of the United States - the very laws of our nation - says something quite different. If liberals are going to counter these erroneous, angry, ill-informed positions with facts, they need to learn for themselves what the Constitution says. To remedy this knowledge gap, criminal defense attorney and unabashed liberal Michael A. Ventrella teaches the basics with humor and snark.

The local news anchor cited by some (affectionately, we hope) as the inspiration for Ron Burgundy reveals what he couldn't say on TV for 30 years. You'll see why most news reports - local and national - are a distraction from the crises both Democrats and Establishment Republicans are creating....

Of all our presidential elections, few were as stunning as the election of Donald Trump. The mass surge of nationalist populism that swept him into the oval office shocked both pollsters and pundits alike. But what if this nationalist populism has implications far exceeding 2016? In this thought-provoking audiobook, Dr. Steve Turley explains how the election of Donald Trump signals the demise of secularism as our dominant political paradigm and the dawning of a nationalist conservative future, not just in the US but throughout the world.

With the advent of several controversial social movements in subsequent decades, a non-traditional style of editorial persona began to take control of the news machinery in America. The weighing of ideas gave way to exclusive promotion of a specific world view, and the omission of all opposition within a devotee’s range of hearing. The American right found the voice it needed in the supremely gifted Rush Hudson Limbaugh III. Limbaugh possessed an unmatchable rhetorical reflex, a well-informed sense of each argument’s gist, and a flair for the politically incorrect.

This book examines two recent events that have apparently ended the conservative Reagan Revolution.
