In vielen europäischen Ländern sind rechte Bewegungen im Aufwind. Oder mit den Worten Jan Zielonkas: Eine Konterrevolution ist in Gang gekommen. Im Jahr 1990 sah das noch ganz anders aus. Der Eiserne Vorhang war gefallen und Zielonkas Lehrer Ralf Dahrendorf begrüßte eine Revolution in Europa; es herrschten Euphorie und Aufbruchsstimmung.

Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild is Michelle Malkin's unrestrained and uncensored exposé of hate-mongering Leftists. With wit, wisdom, and a bullet-proof vest, Malkin ruthlessly and raucously skewers the myths of liberal tolerance, peace, and civility while responding to the incendiary insults and vile slurs directed at her and other conservatives. With infuriating details that are not for the faint of heart, Malkin chronicles the bizarre world of foaming-at-the-mouth Leftists in their natural habitats

Progressive upper-middle-class urbanites are deserting expensive liberal meccas like New York and San Francisco and flocking to traditionally red states like Colorado, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Texas. The result is a sudden, confusing purpling of small-town America. School boards and local governments are being reorganized around the progressive agendas of pushy transplants. Neighborhoods are becoming unrecognizable. And the implications for future Congressional and presidential elections are staggering.

George W. Bush arrived in the White House an untested governor with an unfortunate habit of tripping over his own tongue, presiding over an economy slipping into recession, and a nation more obsessed with reality television than with the reality of international terrorism. He was considered by many opinion-leaders a dupe, an illiterate, a cowboy, a preppie, a child of privilege. Now, it is clear to John Podhoretz that Bush has become, and will be remembered, as one of this nation's strongest leaders.

Liberal y liberalismo son palabras que se usan con demasiada frecuencia y poca precisión en la prensa y en los debates políticos contemporáneos. En este libro, Federico Reyes Heroles se pregunta qué es ser liberal, fuera de partidos y coyunturas. Y para contestar esta pregunta, más que volver a contar cronológica o escolarmente la historia del liberalismo, ofrece guías de razonamiento, preguntas clave: ¿es el liberalismo una ideología o una escuela de pensamiento? En la geometría política de derecha e izquierda, ¿dónde se sitúa el liberal?

Liberal contempt for Trump supporters is exacerbating the political and cultural rift tearing America apart. Beyond Contempt shows progressives how to communicate respectfully and effectively across the great political divide, defusing hostility, building trust, and, just maybe, discovering common ground.

Ken Stern watched the increasing polarization of our country with growing concern. As a longtime partisan Democrat himself, he felt forced to acknowledge that his own views were too parochial, too absent of any exposure to the "other side". In fact, his urban neighborhood is so liberal, he couldn't find a single Republican - even by asking around. So, for one year, he crossed the aisle to spend time listening, talking, and praying with Republicans of all stripes.

The Underdog in American Politics is an original analysis of how the underdog concept applies to the Democratic Party and American politics and culture. In particular, it analyzes how the power of the underdog has shaped, and reflected, the politics of Democrats running for president. From Thomas Jefferson to Barack Obama, the author uses biography, ideology, campaign strategy, and public policies to depict the many different points of contact between Democrats and underdogs. The core values of equality, fairness and non-discrimination are analyzed.

With a Senate career that has spanned more than four decades, Edward M. Kennedy has become one of the strongest voices in American politics.

Lo Impensable es para José Benegas que el liberalismo pueda confundirse con el nacionalismo, la xenofobia, el racismo y el proteccionismo. Sin embargo, tal parece que el miedo a los planteos de la izquierda sobre el multicultralismo, la intromisión en las elecciones privadas por medio de las políticas de “discriminación positiva”, el miedo a la “invasión islámica” y otros elementos combinados, han producido una extraña mutación, que mezcla el agua y el aceite, las ideas de la libertad individual, con el integrismo religioso, el fascismo cultural y muchas otras viejas rémoras de la llamada ultra derecha del pasado.

Once upon a time, liberals knew what they believed. They believed America must lead the world by persuasion, not command. And they believed that by championing freedom overseas, America itself could become more free. That liberal spirit won America's trust at the dawn of the cold war. Then it collapsed in the wake of Vietnam. Now, after 9/11, and the failed presidency of George W. Bush, America needs it back.

In Surrounded by Idiots, Mike Gallagher, one of the top radio talk show hosts in America, takes us to the front lines of the unprecedented cultural and political war confronting all decent Americans.

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.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan convinced many policymakers and scholars that the United States should pull back in international affairs and that restraint should guide grand strategy. Paul D. Miller offers a tough-minded critique of this trending body of thought, arguing that US security in fact depends on active, sustained support of the international liberal order.

The Election of 2016 was a wakeup call to intolerant digital liberals. They got what they deserved because they were delusional enough to not even see Donald Trump's victory coming.

Defender hoy en día las ideas liberales tiene mucho mérito estando como estamos, aleccionados sobre los males que una excesiva libertad implica, infectados por el virus del populismo en el seno de la izquierda europea y acomplejados por ideas proteccionistas y antiliberales en la derecha. Y si este alegato viene además de un representante de las nuevas generaciones de jóvenes liberales, la valía e interés que ha de suscitar es todavía mayor.
