Book excerpt: From 2011, when Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives, until the present, Congress enacted hardly any major legislation outside of the tax law President Trump signed in 2017. In the same period, the Supreme Court dismantled much of America's campaign finance law, severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, permitted states to opt-out of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, weakened laws protecting against age discimination and sexual and racial harassment, and held that every state must permit same-sex couples to marry. This powerful unelected body, now controlled by six very conservative Republicans, has and will become the locus of policymaking in the United States. Ian Millhiser, Vox's Supreme Court correspondent, tells the story of what those six justices are likely to do with their power. It is true that the right to abortion is in its final days, as is affirmative action. But Millhiser shows that it is in the most arcane decisions that the Court will fundamentally reshape America, transforming it into something far less democratic, by attacking voting rights, dismantling and vetoing the federal administrative state, ignoring the separation of church and state, and putting corporations above the law. The Agenda exposes a radically altered Supreme Court whose powers extend far beyond transforming any individual right--its agenda is to shape the very nature of America's government, redefining who gets to have legal rights, who is beyond the reach of the law, and who chooses the people who make our laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Price of Right, Alicia Morgan explodes the myth that is modern conservatism: the myth of the free market, the invisible hand, the magical trickle-down theory, the myth that all you need are bootstraps, and that a rising tide lifts all boats. In graphic detail, she shows why the conservative agenda is inherently antidemocratic and how the 25-year experiment that began with Reagan may have done the country irreparable harm. Ending on a grace note, she outlines what citizens can do to take back their country.

Download or read book The Conservative Agenda written by Jack Donahue and published by Defenestration Press. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his provocative new book "The Conservative Agenda," author Jack Donahue lays out a vision for America's future rooted in traditional conservative principles. Donahue argues that over the past few decades, both major political parties have lost their way and no longer truly represent the values and beliefs of a silent majority of Americans who hold more conservative views on issues like taxes, government spending, regulation, and social policies. A key part of Donahue's thesis is that America needs a renewed culture of self-reliance, personal responsibility, faith, and family. He critiques the modern welfare state as creating a cycle of dependency and robbing people of dignity. Donahue makes a data-driven case that conservative policies like lower taxes, fewer regulations, and empowering states and local communities lead to greater prosperity, civic participation, and human flourishing. He also argues for policies that encourage two-parent households, church membership, and civic engagement. When it comes to hot-button social issues like immigration, race, abortion, and LGBT rights, Donahue advocates nuanced conservative positions grounded in compassion even while defending traditional values. He argues that real diversity comes from unity around shared American ideals, not just ethnic fractionalization. Overall, he strives for polemic-free, open-minded debate grounded in facts and evidence. Donahue puts forward a practical policy agenda for translating broad conservative principles into tangible change in Washington D.C. and state capitals. From economic, education, and tax reforms, to healthcare and environmental policies, he delves into the specifics of a conservative governing vision. Donahue concludes with a call for civic renewal in America, arguing that getting back to conservative ideals offers the best way forward.

Download or read book The Conservative Agenda written by Mark Meriwether and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each generation has their issues and their turning points. This is ours. This is a defining era in American history, when and where a minority radical faction of liberal-thinking politicians has colluded and conspired for decades, spawned from the psychedelic hallucinations of the Haight-Ashbury movement, to implement their socialist agenda in an attempt to transform a Republican representative-based democracy into a country mimicking the political persuasions of totalitarianism. At its core, the rudimentary problematic premise we face is a simple question of individual freedom versus a statist controlled society. Yes, it is really this simple. Never before has the electorate been so complacent and abetting in allowing such a radical political figure to inflict his sweeping personal ideology on the populace in order to actuate fundamental transformation of the established principles championed and embraced by our Founding Fathers. That is, until now.

They argue that Conservative principles adapted to the modern world are essential for national success. For Britain to prosper in today's global economy, we need a new era of responsibility, for governments as well as individuals. The Conservative Party last won a general election in 1992. The formation of the coalition in 2010 ushered in a politics of compromise for the important task of bringing the deficit under control. At the next election, the Conservative Party may well fight for its own mandate. What that will be and the ideas supporting it need to be defined now. After the Coalition is an attempt to do precisely this.

Download or read book No Mercy written by Jean Stefancic and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado provide an incisive analysis of the Right's rise to power. The authors show that, since the sixties, the Left has had little to do with setting the country's agenda and that conservative think tanks and foundations have been systematically abetting a conservative revolution by funding a variety of issue-oriented studies and programs. The authors focus on seven areas in which this battle has been waged and won by the powerful conservative coalition: English Only; Proposition 187 and immigration reform; IQ, race, and eugenics; affirmative action; welfare; tort reform; and campus multi-culturalism. How has the Right managed to gain the advantage in these traditionally liberal campaigns? How can this be stopped? During this research, the authors found themselves in partial admiration of the dedication, economy of effort, and sheer ingenuity of the conservative forces. But Stefancic and Delgado seek to inform the American public about how the juggernaut operates - not to celebrate but to combat it. They challenge the Left to adopt the same sort of strategic focus and issue orientation as the Right to bring this country back to the center - before it's too late.

Download or read book God in the Corridors of Power written by Michael Ryan and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God in the Corridors of Power: Christian Conservatives, the Media, and Politics in America is a comprehensive study of Christian conservative power in America's political culture—how it was achieved, how it is maintained, and where it is going. It came about in part because of an enduring influence in the school room, the seminary and in the pulpit, and in part because conservatives are so skilled at using commercial and non-commercial media, including religious media, to disseminate their views to broader audiences. Though their power has waxed and waned, they continue to be a potent force in public policy today. The authors argue that the astonishing electoral successes of Christian conservatives at all levels of national, state and local government was made possible by linking political, social, media and religious interests with an emerging consensus about what constitutes a conservative mindset in American politics. Christian conservatives unquestionably have been the most significant component in a coalition of religious conservatives, traditionalist conservatives and neoconservatives that has driven the Republican Party now for almost two generations. This multifaceted understanding of Christian conservative activists in religion and politics traces the impact Christian conservatives have had on American Christianity as a whole while also examining the limitations imposed on the Christian conservative agenda by American civil religion, the Constitution and case law. The authors explore women's reproductive rights in the debate over contraception and abortion, and gay civil rights in the debate over gay marriage and family rights. The debate over intelligent design and evolution is examined in the context of the campaign to transform public school education. The run-up to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is scrutinized against the background of the declared "war on terrorism." While the conservative religious and secular coalition within the Republican Party began to fragment even before the end of George W. Bush's first term in office, it remained a powerful force in the 2004 and 2008 elections. The book concludes with some thoughts about the impact of Christian conservatives in politics, media and religion in the future.
