Book Synopsis Mean Old Liberal by : Marc Munroe Dion
Download or read book Mean Old Liberal written by Marc Munroe Dion and published by Creators Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who says liberals are snowflakes? In this collection of columns, Marc Munroe Dion earns his "Mean Old Liberal" nickname by savaging bigotry disguised as color blindness, gun worship disguised as freedom, worker slavery disguised as economic freedom and a host of other viewpoints around which terrified elements of the white middle and working class have rallied even as the future bears down on them and their bosses lay them off in favor of robots. These aren't press conference columns, and they're not congressional hearing columns. They're political columns from the street, informed by Dion's 40 years covering housefires, shootings and the workings of small-town government. The language sometimes soars, but the ideas are tough, and this mean old liberal is spoiling for a fight.
Book Synopsis Why Liberals Are Assholes by : Noam Deguerre
Download or read book Why Liberals Are Assholes written by Noam Deguerre and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberals are Assholes This book isn't about name-calling; instead it takes an in-depth look at the forces of Liberal Fascism that are threatening to destroy America, and offers a new step-by-step action plan to save the country. It abandons the old dichotomy of Liberal vs. Conservative and replaces it with the more useful paradigm of the struggle between Reasonable People and power-hungry Assholes. Liberals are on a crusade to "fundamentally transform" the foundational ideology of American liberty into a Totalitarian Liberal Theocracy intent on controlling the thoughts, actions, and wealth of every person in America. Driven by an unquenchable thirst for power, Liberals are the primary existential threat to America because they lack the intellectual honesty and ethical standards of normal people. Liberals believe that their ends justify any means, so they will tell any lie, break any principle, and commit any injustice to achieve power over others. Why Liberals are Assholes was written to give Reasonable People a new perspective on how the entire world is being corrupted by Liberals and what they must do about it. For people already in the grip of Liberalism, this book will show them how to reject Liberal Fascism, and how to reclaim their reason, dignity, and morality. About the Author: Noam DeGuerre is an adventurer, itinerant philosopher, social observer, and provocateur. He is an unapologetic generalist and has been called the last true Renaissance man in America. His key insight is that the entire history of mankind is defined by the battle between Reasonable People and Assholes. This book explains why Liberals have inflicted so much pain and suffering on others with their anti-American ideas and how to stop them.
Book Synopsis The Liberal Tradition in America by : Louis Hartz
Download or read book The Liberal Tradition in America written by Louis Hartz and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1991-07-29 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “brilliantly written” look at the original meaning of the liberal philosophy has become a classic of political science (American Historical Review). Winner of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award As the word “liberal” has been misused and its meaning diluted in recent decades, this study of American political thought since the Revolution is a valuable look at the “liberal tradition” that has been central to US history. Louis Hartz, who taught government at Harvard, shows how individual liberty, equality, and capitalism have been the values at the root of liberalism—and offers enlightening historical context that reminds us of America’s unique place and important role in the world. “Lively and thought-provoking . . . Fascinating reading.” —The Review of Politics Includes an introduction by Tom Wicker
Book Synopsis The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order by : Steven F. Hayward
Download or read book The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order written by Steven F. Hayward and published by Forum Books. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Reagan brings to life the tumultuous decade and a half that preceded Ronald Reagan’s ascent to the White House. Drawing on scores of interviews and years of research, Steven F. Hayward takes us on an engrossing journey through the most politically divisive years the United States has had to endure since the decade before the Civil War. Hayward captures an America at war with itself—and an era whose reverberations we feel to this very day. He brings new insight into the profound failure of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, the oddly liberal nature of Richard Nixon’s administration, the significance of Reagan’s years as California’s governor, the sudden-death drama of his near defeat of Gerald Ford in the 1976 Republican primary, the listlessness of Jimmy Carter’s leadership, and the political earthquake that was Reagan’s victorious presidential campaign in 1980. Provocative, authoritative, and majestic in scope, The Age of Reagan is an unforgettable account of the rebirth and triumph of the American spirit.
Book Synopsis Polish Liberal Thought Before 1918 by : Maciej Janowski
Download or read book Polish Liberal Thought Before 1918 written by Maciej Janowski and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on solid research, this erudite study is a first attempt at presenting a comprehensive analysis of nineteenth-century Polish liberalism. Polish liberal tradition has generally been considered weak or even nonexistent. Janowski, on the other hand, argues that nineteenth-century Poland inherited a strong protoliberal tradition from the nobility-based democracy, and that in the mid-nineteenth century, liberalism was a dominant trend in Polish intellectual life, even if it rarely appeared in its pure form and did not create political movements separating liberal aims from patriotic ones.

Book Synopsis The Making of American Liberal Theology by : Gary J. Dorrien
Download or read book The Making of American Liberal Theology written by Gary J. Dorrien and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first of three volumes, Dorrien identifies the indigenous roots of American liberal theology and demonstrates a wider, longer-running tradition than has been thought. The tradition took shape in the nineteenth century, motivated by a desire to map a modernist "third way" between orthodoxy and rationalistic deism/atheism. It is defined by its openness to modern intellectual inquiry; its commitment to the authority of individual reason and experience; its conception of Christianity as an ethical way of life; and its commitment to make Christianity credible and socially relevant to modern people. Dorrien takes a narrative approach and provides a biographical reading of important religious thinkers of the time, including William E. Channing, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Bushnell, Henry Ward Beecher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Charles Briggs. Dorrien notes that, although liberal theology moved into elite academic institutions, its conceptual foundations were laid in the pulpit rather than the classroom.

Book Synopsis The Wayward Liberal by : Thomas E. Vadney
Download or read book The Wayward Liberal written by Thomas E. Vadney and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first political biography of Donald Richberg, Thomas E. Vadney traces the continuities and discontinuities in the American reform tradition from the days of the Progressives to the years after the New Deal. Richberg's strong advocacy of the earlier liberalism contrasted with his equally strong rejection of post-New Deal liberalism. At the beginning of the New Deal, Richberg supported Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration program, but as time went on he was unable to accept the growth of big government and the welfare state that later evolved from it. Many of the old liberals firmly believed in the viability of competition, opportunity, and individualism, and abhorred the later efforts of younger liberals to expand the functions of government. Donald Richberg's story is one of a persistent faithfulness to the older concept of liberalism.
Book Synopsis The Closing of the Liberal Mind by : Kim R. Holmes
Download or read book The Closing of the Liberal Mind written by Kim R. Holmes and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Kim R. Holmes surveys the state of liberalism in America today and finds that it is becoming its opposite—illiberalism—abandoning the precepts of open-mindedness and respect for individual rights, liberties, and the rule of law upon which the country was founded, and becoming instead an intolerant, rigidly dogmatic ideology that abhors dissent and stifles free speech. Tracing the new illiberalism historically to the radical Enlightenment, a movement that rejected the classic liberal ideas of the moderate Enlightenment that were prominent in the American Founding, Holmes argues that today’s liberalism has forsaken its American roots, incorporating instead the authoritarian, anti-clerical, and anti-capitalist prejudices of the radical and largely European Left. The result is a closing of the American liberal mind. Where once freedom of speech and expression were sacrosanct, today liberalism employs speech codes, trigger warnings, boycotts, and shaming rituals to stifle freedom of thought, expression, and action. It is no longer appropriate to call it liberalism at all, but illiberalism—a set of ideas in politics, government, and popular culture that increasingly reflects authoritarian and even anti-democratic values, and which is devising new strategies of exclusiveness to eliminate certain ideas and people from the political process. Although illiberalism has always been a temptation for American liberals, lurking in the radical fringes of the Left, it is today the dominant ideology of progressive liberal circles. This makes it a new danger not only to the once venerable tradition of liberalism, but to the American nation itself, which needs a viable liberal tradition that pursues social and economic equality while respecting individual liberties.
Download or read book Liberwocky written by Victor Gold and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2004-07-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laid out like a dictionary A-to-Z (much like Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary), Liberwocky takes a close and comedic look at how liberals use and abuse language to manipulate the citizenry and their attitudes. Having forty years of political and media experience, Gold sees through the trickery of today's political rhetoric. And in this book, he exposes their techniques, their verbal twists and devious turns of phrase, in a way that is both provocative and hilarious. Including sections such as: "Truly Stupid Liberal Ideas" (poking fun at the U.N., Peurto Rican statehood, and voting rights for felons) and "The American Liberal's All Time Enemies List" (fifty conservatives liberals love to hate), this book-both mocking and informative-is an enjoyable romp through the language of modern politics.

Book Synopsis Why Liberalism Works by : Deirdre Nansen McCloskey
Download or read book Why Liberalism Works written by Deirdre Nansen McCloskey and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful and passionately written book explaining why a return to Enlightenment ideals is good for the world The greatest challenges facing humankind, according to Deirdre McCloskey, are poverty and tyranny, both of which hold people back. Arguing for a return to true liberal values, this engaging and accessible book develops, defends, and demonstrates how embracing the ideas first espoused by eighteenth-century philosophers like Locke, Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft is good for everyone. With her trademark wit and deep understanding, McCloskey shows how the adoption of Enlightenment ideals of liberalism has propelled the freedom and prosperity that define the quality of a full life. In her view, liberalism leads to equality, but equality does not necessarily lead to liberalism. Liberalism is an optimistic philosophy that depends on the power of rhetoric rather than coercion, and on ethics, free speech, and facts in order to thrive.

Book Synopsis The Liberal Tradition in Focus by : João Carlos Espada
Download or read book The Liberal Tradition in Focus written by João Carlos Espada and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liberal Tradition in Focus is a collection of essays by prominent scholars in their fields on the nature of liberalism at the close of the twentieth century. Using a variety of analytical and substantive approaches, the authors compare the "old liberalism" of Locke, Smith, Hume, and Montesquieu to the variety of "new liberalisms" of thinkers such as Rawls, Dworkin, and Foucault. Each chapter of this engaging volume takes up a particular theme--democracy, capitalism, morality, feminism, toleration, constitutionalism, Third Way liberalism--and considers how the new liberalism's understanding differs from the old. The Liberal Tradition in Focus will be a valuable addition to the collections of scholars and students of political science and political philosophy.
