Setting the Political Record Straight - A Book That Takes You From Left to Right

By Lance Winslow
Every once in a while a good book comes along that sets the political record straight and helps us understand what is nothing more than media driven political rhetoric, or political opposition attacks. The book I'd like to recommend has a red cover with a little smiley face, which has a Hitler mustache. If that isn't enough to shock you into thinking, I'm not sure what would. The book is called:

"Liberal Fascism; the Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning" by Jonas Goldberg; Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group division of Random House; New York, NY; 2008. ISBN: 978-0-385-51184-1.

The first chapter completely sets the record straight on Mussolini, and the second chapter gives a historical account of Adolph Hitler. In the Third Chapter Goldberg discusses the concept of "it couldn't happen here," and explains how it was. He goes into a full account of Woodrow Wilson's rise to power and political exploits once in power.

Chapter 4 explains how Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" was a Fascist New Deal in reality. In chapter 5 you'll get a totally different historical account of the 1960's movement, while in chapter 6, you'll find yourself quite alarmed at the Kennedy myths. He also shows how the "liberal agenda" works to turn the nation into a god and nationalism into a religion, which makes for a particularly interesting conversation and dialogue in the book

Another interesting set of contentions is put forth in the chapter on eugenics, and how the "liberals" in the US support such concepts, as did Hitler; the author also weaves in, the abortion issues to these talks. Still, I found the chapter entitled; "Liberal Fascist Economics" the most interesting perhaps due to the current economic challenges we face. The direction of our government in the economic system of the US is completely troubling and so similar to past fascist, communist, and socialist governments of the past, all of which have failed by the way.

Everyone should read the author's sub chapter on the "Fascist Bargain" when it comes to business and government uniting and promoting each other. And the very important sub-chapter; "The Liberal Fascist Bargain," all this is absolutely true and scary to the core.

You might like to read the chapters on the Clintons; "Brave New Village," as well as the new age chapter entitled; "The New Age: We Are All Fascists Now!" there is a sub-chapter called "Hollywood Fascists" that is very interesting, perhaps should be read by anyone awestruck by Hollywood Movie Stars telling them how to vote. The author concludes with the reality that many conservatives fail to realize how far they've been coaxed towards fascism and what they can do to resist it in the future. I think you will enjoy this book, or hate it, depending on your political persuasion.
