A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012

From the author of -Isms and -Ologies and Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies, here is a deeply researched, fascinating history of the role that organized hatred has played in American politics. The New Hate takes readers on a surprising, often shocking, sometimes bizarrely amusing tour through the swamps of nativism, racism, and paranoia that have long thrived on the American fringe. Arthur Goldwag shows us the parallels between the hysteria about the Illuminati that wracked the new American Republic in the...

..".That to secure the Rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed..."

Only 17% of Americans believe our government has the consent of the governed.

These failures were not accidental; they flow directly from liberal contradictions. In Post-Liberalism, Fein demonstrates why...

AMERWRECKA is written in the spirit of Thomas Paine's immortal classic "The American Crisis," which officers read to their troops on Christmas Eve of 1776 before crossing the Delaware to attack the British in the Battle of Trenton. Unlike other books talking about the decline of America or America being at the crossroads, this book shows that America is on the wrong track and headed for its needless destruction unless the President is voted out of office this November. Unlike other authors bemoaning the sad state of affairs in America, Carpenter names names, calls out the bad guys, and...

It's hard work being a liberal these days. When you hate things most Americans love, it's tiring to have to endlessly correct/educate/fix/enlighten the poor dullards out there who just want to enjoy their lives. But it's not too late, liberals, to join the fun C'mon, crack open a Bud and throw another T-bone on the grill. But kindly check your disdain at the door...
