Liberalisme og centrumsorienterede demokratiske ideologier

The "media" used to mean television, radio, newspapers, and magazines; but today it largely involves social media, which has swallowed up all of these other forms and is now controlled by a small group of Silicon Valley titans who decide what billions of people are able to see and hear online. The convergence of old technology and new has centralized unimaginable power into the hands of a few gigantic corporations that now dictate how we communicate with each other and perceive the outside world. Media analyst Mark Dice details how the rise of social media that tipped the balance of power regarding the production and distribution of information has also resulted in a massive backslash from those conspiring to regain the influence they once held. Now conservatives are experiencing widespread censorship as the tech giants scramble to put the genie back in the bottle. The liberal media has launched an information war against President Trump and his supporters, and are using their monopolies to manipulate public opinion in order to further their aims of a socialist revolution.

Exposing the LGBT attempt to convert America into a deviant society of licentiousness.

"I don't take responsibility at all." Those words of Donald Trump at a March 13, 2020, press conference are likely to be history's epitaph on his presidency. A huge swath of Americans has put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn't have a place for them. If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he does. Those voters aren't looking for policy wins. They're seeking cultural revenge.It is not enough to defeat Donald Trump on election day 2020. Even if Trump peacefully departs office, the trauma he inflicted will distort American and world politics for years to come. Americans must start from where they are, build from what they have, to repair the damage Trump inflicted on the country, to amend the wrongs that, under Trump, they inflicted upon each other. Americans can do better. David Frum shows how?and inspires all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform that will be read and discussed for years to come.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It's time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right.Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community's ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It's time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation—and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three. Owens explains that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the Left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democrat permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story, which ushered her from a roach-infested low-income apartment to1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality. Well-researched and intelligently argued, Blackout lays bare the myth that all black people should vote Democrat—and shows why turning to the right will leave them happier, more successful, and more self-sufficient.

Part 2 of "Why We Needed Trump" opens in 2007 as first-term Sen. Barack Obama begins his assault on the presidency and his effort to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America. Obama took advantage of the failed two terms of President George W. Bush (See "Part 1: Bush's Global Failure: Half Right") and openly worked to turn the United States into a post-Constitutional republic.The essays by Frank Miele in this collection span from 2007 to 2016, with special emphasis on the collapsing border, the war on terrorism and the birth of the Tea Party movement. These essays originally appeared in the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Montana, where Miele worked for 34 years, including 18 years as managing editor. Miele gained a wide following for his weekly conservative "Editor's 2 Cents" commentaries, which are now collected in the Heartland Diary series. One of those early readers was Richard L. Spencer, a Vietnam veteran and economist from the East Coast, who became a devoted reader more than a decade ago. Spencer writes in the Foreword: "What is so alluring about Mr. Miele's "Heartland Diary" entries is that they come from the soul, they are thoroughly researched, and they always have a critical point that causes the reader to evaluate his own opinions. That is one of the major clues of a solid thinker - soul in his writing that stands the test of time. Now, as the decade has passed, I seldom read other editors because when it comes to philosophic intent or critical thinking, Frank is the master. I am always astounded by how rich his mind is and how he has had the energy and intellect to produce such readable articles week after week for the better part of two decades. No one can match him. However, his readers are the winners, as they have the wisdom needed to appreciate such work." The author, who is now a columnist for Real Clear Politics, describes his work as a community journalist in his Introduction, and explains why his column became such a touchstone for conservatives: "My column ultimately was informed by love of country, gratitude for family and friends, humility before God, and an acute awareness of the cussedness of politicians and other wild animals. I repeatedly called on the American people to live up to the mandate set upon them by the Founding Fathers - to educate themselves and govern the governors - and I publicly repudiated presidents, both Democratic and Republican, who betrayed their own sacred trust to the Constitution. All along, as I wrote of the greatness of America, I felt our country willingly slipping away into mediocrity - and looked for solutions that would come from the people, not the politicians."Although Miele was a conservative, he found plenty to fault in the world view of George W. Bush, and saw him as providing Barack Obama with his foothold in the White House. In this new volume, Miele delves into the historical underpinnings of the Obama presidency in the progressive movement of the 20th century and the social upheaval of the 1960s. Toward the end of Obama's second term, Miele had started to lose hope for the United States, but then he like everyone else was taken by surprise by Donald Trump's arrival on the political scene in 2015. Unlike those who were amused by Trump, however, Frank saw him immediately as a pivotal figure and became one of Trump's few supporters in the world of daily journalism. Part 3 of "Why We Needed Trump" (subtitled "Trump's American Vision: Just Right") looks at the first two years of the Trump administration, with emphasis on border security, the war against Fake News and the philosophy of "America First."

First there was George W. Bush, then there was Barack Obama. The country could only stand so much. One Montana editor watched and wrote as the United States slipped closer and closer to chaos, and he prayed for a national savior. Then Donald Trump came down the escalator. Was he the answer? The essays by Frank Miele in this collection span from 2015 to 2018 during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and continuing through the first two years of his presidency. "Why We Needed Trump: Part 3" concludes the trilogy that started with an examination of the failures of the Bush and Obama administrations. Special emphasis in all three books is paid to the collapsing border, the war on terrorism, and the resurgence of U.S. nationalism.

Discusses the conservative ideological and political attack on welfare in the United States.

Bestselling author Stephen Prothero addresses the question of "Whose America is this," by exploring American political discourse and the significant texts that make up the living history of the American people.American politics is broken because we have forgotten how to talk with one another. Instead of arguing on behalf of of our nation, we argue on behalf of our party.The American Bible: How Our Words Unite, Divide, and Define a Nation reacquaints us with the oft-quoted (and misquoted) speeches, songs, and sayings that animate our politics, inspire social action, and drive our debates about who is?and is not?a real American. It reconnects us with a surprising tradition of civility that manages to be both critical of Americans shortcomings and hopeful for positive change.To explore these "scriptures," is to revisit what Americans have said about liberty and equality and to revitalize our ongoing conversation about the future of the American experiment.

They think Obama Isn't an American citizen.They think Obama wants to put Americans in Concentration Camps.They think Obama is the Anti-Christ.This isn't just the Tea Party?Welcome to the Backlash. The election of Barack Obama provoked unparalleled anger on the far right that eventually twisted important national discussions and pushed ideas from the conservative fringe into the mainstream media. In this gripping exposé, Pulitzer Prize?winning reporter Will Bunch reveals the secrets behind the crusade against the president, exploring how forces like radical militia groups, the Tea Party, pro-gun zealots, and Glenn Beck have combined old-fashioned populist outrage with digital-age phobias to produce a wave of resentment that many have ridden straight to the bank. Pulling back the curtain on the paranoid politics of a new generation, Bunch exposes the opportunists who have embraced apocalyptic fearmongering, and shows how events such as the election of America's first African-American president, the economic recession, and the rise of social networking have created a dangerous political moment that poses legitimate risks to democracy in America.

Americans find themselves in genuine confusion and dismay concerning the actions of President Obama's administration. None of Obama's most important campaign promises?ending the Iraq war, abolishing torture, closing Guantánamo, changing Washington's culture of corruption?has come to pass. Instead, he has bailed out the bankers, escalated the conflict in Afghanistan, launched a new war in Libya, and institutionalized the civil rights abuses of the Bush regime.Roger D. Hodge makes the provocative case that substantive reform was never even on the table. Behind the euphoria of Obama's victory was in fact a business-as-usual corporate machine. Obama's presidency has demonstrated that mere hope is never enough, that change will come only when the American people take charge of their own politics. A brilliantly crafted call to arms, The Mendacity of Hope offers an essential analysis of the American political system and the powerful interests that control our government.

"The press has become a tool of oppression—politicized, self–aware, self–motivated, and power–hungry. . . . In short, these people can no longer be trusted."  —From S. E. Cupp’s Losing Our Religion It’s time to wake up and smell the bias. The go-to commentator for such programs as Fox News’s Hannity and CNN’s Larry King Live and Reliable Sources, S. E. Cupp is just that—a reliable source for the latest news, trends, and forecasts in young, bright, conservative America. Savvy and outspoken when shattering left-leaning assumptions as she did in Why You’re Wrong About the Right, Cupp now takes on the most pressing threat to the values and beliefs held and practiced by the majority of Americans: the marginalizing of Christianity by the flagrantly biased liberal media. From her galvanizing introduction, you know where S. E. Cupp stands: She’s an atheist. A non-believer. Which makes her the perfect impartial reporter from the trenches of a culture war dividing America and eroding the Judeo-Christian values on which this country was founded. Starting at the top, she exposes the unwitting courtship of President Obama and the liberal press, which consistently misreports or downplays Obama’s clear discomfort with, or blatant disregard for, religious America—from covering up religious imagery in the backdrop of his Georgetown University speech to his absence from events surrounding the National Day of Prayer, to identifying America in his inaugural address as, among other things, "a nation of non-believers." She likens the calculated attacks of the liberal media to a class war, a revolution with a singular purpose: to overthrow God and silence Christian America for good. And she sends out an urgent call for all Americans to push back the leftist propaganda blitz striking on the Internet, radio, television, in films, publishing, and print journalism—or invite the tyrannies of a "mainstream" media set on mocking our beliefs, controlling our decisions, and extinguishing our freedoms. Now, discover the truth behind the war against Christmas—and how political correctness keeps the faithful under wraps . . . the one-sided analyses of Prop 8 and the gay marriage debate . . . the media pot-shots at Sarah Palin’s personal faith . . . the politicization of entertainment mainstays such as American Idol and the Miss USA Pageant . . . and much more. Also included are her penetrating interviews with Dinesh D’Souza, Martha Zoller, James T. Harris, Newt Gingrich, Kevin Madden, and Kevin Williamson of National Review, delivering must-read analyses of the latest stunning lowlights from the liberal media.

Mattera uncovers the true, behind-the-scenes story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign and its allies used to transform a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching followers into a winning coalition that threatens to become a long-lasting political realignment.

This 352-page manifesto will put many other political books to shame. For its intriguing, enthralling assessments of the socialistic mindset and its detrimental hold on American society, The Ranting of an Uneducated Reactionary offers the reader an outrageously different, intellectually stimulating, iconoclastic, and sometimes wildly unpopular opinion. How can a person, like author Oscar Phillips, possessing a lack of credentials, create a book with such keen insight that has never occurred to anybody else? Writers of any ideological persuasion just plain don't think out of the box like Mr. Phillips does.

Sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project Dr. Bradford Wilcox reveals the social transformations and political posturing threatening the tradition American family and offers a way forward to protect and nurture it.America is in crisis. Trust is falling, crime and economic inequality are soaring, and loneliness and aimlessness are rising. The problems are visible to us all, but the solution is right before our eyes: Get married. According to new research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox, Americans who get married and have children today enjoy the kind of social solidarity and financial stability that result in more meaningful, fulfilling, and prosperous lives than most of their fellow citizens. And their kids and communities are much more likely to flourish.In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox refutes the anti-family messages and policies coming out of Hollywood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America. He shows that the benefits of the American Dream are still there for the taking for every American willing to take the plunge, settle down, and say yes to a family-centered way of life. Doing so will not only save them and their children from downward mobility, instability, and aimlessness; it will save America from ruin ?one marriage at a time.

Popular conservative blogger Pamela Geller and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer sound a wake-up call for Americans to stop the Obama administration from limiting our hard-won freedoms, silencing our democratic voices, and harming America for generations to come—now available in paperback. America is being tested in a way that she has never been tested before. Since taking the oath of office in January 2009, President Barack Obama has cheered our enemies and demoralized our allies. He is hard at work “remaking” America by destroying the free-market system and nationalizing major segments of our economy, demonizing dissent and restricting freedom of speech, turning against our longtime friends, and above all, subjecting us to the determinations of foreign authorities. In this timely and urgent battle cry, Pamela Geller, founder of the widely popular website AtlasShrugs.com, and bestselling author Robert Spencer team up to expose the Obama administration’s destructive agenda—largely ignored by the mainstream media—and rally Americans to protect the sovereignty of a country that is under siege. Geller and Spencer critically examine the Obama administration’s ominous and revealing moves against our basic freedoms, particularly as he seizes control of the three engines of the American economy: health care, energy, and education. The Post-American Presidency is a vital guide to helping conservatives prepare for the tough battles ahead.
