As it "illuminates the crisis of liberal education and offers
proposals for reform which deserve full debate" (Morton Halperin,
American Civil Liberties Union), "Illiberal Education" "documents
how the politics of race and gender in our universities are rapidly
eating away traditions of scholarship and reward for individual
achievement" (Robert H. Bork). (Education/Teaching)
In this enlightening new look at one of our most successful, most popular, and least understood presidents, bestselling author and former Reagan aide Dinesh D'Souza shows how this "ordinary" man was able to transform the political landscape in a way that made a permanent impact on America and the world. Ronald Reagan is a thoughtful and honest assessment of how this underestimated president became a truly extraordinary leader.
In 10 Answers for Skeptics, McFarland identifies the ten most
common types of skepticism that plague doubters' minds and offers
believers proven strategies for connecting intellectually and
spiritually with those who are skeptical about the claims of
Christianity. Today's skeptics are looking for authenticity,
integrity, and straightforward truth. Readers will learn how to
answer intimidating questions, identify the root issue behind those
questions, and dismantle the "spiritual bombshells" dropped by
atheists. Plus, they'll find encouragement to face hostility by
persevering in love--the ultimate apologetic Christians can offer
as witness to our loving God.
In this daring exploration of the history, nature, and ultimate
meaning of racism, Dinesh D'Souza breaks the accepted boundaries of
discourse about race in our country. When published in hardcover,
D'Souza's opinion and comments stirred much controversy. In a new
Foreword presented here, he responds to critics on all sides of the
political spectrum.
In a world of facts and figures, can an intellectual have "faith"?
Is it possible to believe anything the Bible says? Yes, and one man
will show you how.
Amidst scientists' attempts to debunk Christianity's truths and
atheists' assuming the Bible is a how-to-be-virtuous self-help
book, bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza resolves to both answer the
tough questions and challenge believers as well as doubters to
search for the ultimate truths about theories of origin. D'Souza
tackles subjects and events such as the Crusades and the Spanish
Inquisition, the Big Bang theory and Darwinism--everything you
always pondered but never scrutinized, now placed under the
proverbial microscope and studied thoroughly.
"Of course, everything [D'Souza] says here is accurate... But it's
not going to sit well with people on the American left who, of
course, are portraying themselves as the exact opposite of all of
this." -RUSH LIMBAUGH The explosive new book from Dinesh D'Souza,
author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Hillary's America,
America, and Obama's America. What is "the big lie" of the
Democratic Party? That conservatives-and President Donald Trump in
particular-are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC
host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it
was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this
audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a
fascist threat in America-but that threat is from the Left and the
Democratic Party. The Democratic left has an ideology virtually
identical with fascism and routinely borrows tactics of
intimidation and political terror from the Nazi Brownshirts. To
cover up their insidious fascist agenda, Democrats loudly accuse
President Trump and other Republicans of being Nazis-an obvious
lie, considering the GOP has been fighting the Democrats over
slavery, genocide, racism and fascism from the beginning. Now,
finally, Dinesh D'Souza explodes the Left's big lie. He expertly
exonerates President Trump and his supporters, then uncovers the
Democratic Left's long, cozy relationship with Nazism: how the
racist and genocidal acts of early Democrats inspired Adolf
Hitler's campaign of death; how fascist philosophers influenced the
great 20th century lions of the American Left; and how today's
anti-free speech, anti-capitalist, anti-religious liberty,
pro-violence Democratic Party is a frightening simulacrum of the
Nazi Party. Hitler coined the term "the big lie" to describe a lie
that "the great masses of the people" will fall for precisely
because of how bold and monstrous the lie is. In The Big Lie,
D'Souza shows that the Democratic Left's orchestrated campaign to
paint President Trump and conservatives as Nazis to cover up its
own fascism is, in fact, the biggest lie of all.
WHY HILLARY, OBAMA, AND THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE NO BETTER
THAN A GANG OF THIEVESIn the fall of 2014, outspoken author and
filmmaker Dinesh D Souza found himself hauled into federal court
for improperly donating money to an old friend s Senate campaign. D
Souza pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight months in a
state-run confinement center. There he lived among hardened
criminals drug dealers, thieves, gangbangers, rapists, and
murderers. Now the bestselling author explains how this experience
not only changed his life, but fundamentally transformed his view
of his adopted country.Previously, D Souza had seen America through
the eyes of a grateful immigrant who became successful by applying
and defending conservative principles. Again and again, D Souza
made the case that America is an exceptional nation, fundamentally
fair and just. In book after book, he argued against liberalism as
though it were a genuine movement of ideas capable of being engaged
and refuted.But his prolonged exposure to the criminal underclass
provided an eye-opening education in American realities. In the
view of hardened criminals, D Souza learned, America is anything
but fair and just. Instead, it is a jungle in which various armed
gangs face off against one another, with the biggest and most
powerful gangs inhabiting the federal government. As for American
liberalism, it is not a movement of ideas at all but a series of
scams and cons aimed at nothing less than stealing the entire
wealth of the nation, built up over more than two centuries: the
total value of the homes, the lifelong savings of the people, the
assets of every industry, and all the funds allocated to health and
education and every other service, both public and private. The
thieves I am speaking about want all of it. And who are the leading
figures in this historically ambitious scam that has turned the
federal government into a vast and unprecedented shakedown scheme?
Why, none other than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the current
leaders of the Democratic Party. This pair of smooth-talking con
artists, trained in the methods of radical activist Saul Alinsky,
have taken his crude but effective political shakedown techniques
to a level even he never dreamed of.As the nation approaches a
crucial election in 2016, Stealing America is an urgent wakeup call
for all Americans who want to prevent this theft from being
completed by eight more years of Democratic rule."
Who is killing America? Is it really Donald Trump and a GOP filled
with white supremacists? In a major new work of historical
revisionism, Dinesh D'Souza makes the provocative case that
Democrats are the ones killing America by turning it into a massive
nanny state modeled on the Southern plantation system. This
sweeping alternative history of the Democratic Party goes back to
its foundations in the antebellum South. The slave holding elite
devised the plantation as a means of organising labour and
political support. It was a mini welfare state, a cradle to grave
system that bred dependency and punished any urge to independence.
This model impressed northern Democrats, inspiring the political
machines that traded government handouts for votes from ethnic
immigrant blocs. Today's Democrats have expanded to a multiracial
plantation of ghettos for blacks, barrios for Latinos, and
reservations for Native Americans. Whites are the only holdouts
resisting full dependency, and so they are blamed for the bigotry
and racial exploitation that is actually perpetrated by the left.
Death of a Nation's bracing alternative vision of American history
explains the Democratic Party's dark past, reinterprets the roles
of figures like Van Buren, FDR and LBJ, and exposes the hidden
truth that racism comes not from Trump or the conservative right
but rather from Democrats and progressives on the left.
Written not by a journalist or politician but rather by a theology
professor with a Ph.D. in New Testament studies, Voting as a
Christian: The Social Issues begins with the assumption that God
intended the Bible to give guidance to every area of
life---including how governments should function. Derived from
author Wayne Grudem s magisterial Politics---According to the
Bible, this book highlights those social issues that have dominated
political debate recently. Throughout, author Wayne Grudem supports
political positions that would be called more 'conservative' than
'liberal.' However, it is important to understand that I see these
positions as flowing out of the Bible's teachings rather than
positions I hold prior to, or independently of, those biblical
teachings, ' he writes. 'My primary purpose in the book is not to
be liberal or conservative, or Democrat or Republican, but to
explain a biblical worldview and a biblical perspective on issues
of politics, law, and government.' Concise yet carefully argued,
this book is a must-read for any Christian concerned about current
debates over social issues such as abortion, education, homosexual
marriage, pornography, religious freedom, and others. Not every
reader will agree with the book's conclusions. But by grounding his
analysis deeply on Scripture, Grudem has equipped Christians to
better understand and respond to some of today's key political
debates wisely and in a manner consistent with their primary
citizenship as members and ambassadors of the kingdom of God."
Dinesh D'Souza rose to national prominence as one of the founders
of the Dartmouth Review, a leading voice in the rebirth of
conservative politics on college campuses in the 1980s.He fired the
first popular shot against political correctness with his
best-selling expose Illiberal Education. Now, after serving as a
Reagan White House staffer, the managing editor of Policy Review,
and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover
Institution, he addresses the next generation in Letters to a Young
Conservative . Drawing on his own colourful experiences, both
within the conservative world and while skirmishing with the left,
D'Souza aims to enlighten and inspire young conservatives and give
them weapons for the intellectual battles that they face in high
school, college, and everyday life. Letters to a Young Conservative
also illuminates the enduring themes that for D'Souza anchor the
conservative position: not "family values" or patriotism, but a
philosophy based on natural rights and a belief in universal moral
truths.With a light touch, D'Souza shows that conservatism needn't
be stodgy or defensive, even though it is based on preserving the
status quo. To the contrary, when a conservative has to expose
basic liberal assumptions to scrutiny, he or she must become a kind
of imaginative, fun-loving, forward-looking guerrilla-
philosophically conservative but temperamentally radical.Among the
topics Dinesh D'Souza covers in Letters to a Young Conservative :

From THE ENEMY AT HOME:
"In this book I make a claim that will seem startling at the
outset. The cultural left in this country is responsible for
causing 9/11. ... In faulting the cultural left, I am not making
the absurd accusation that this group blew up the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. I am saying that the cultural left and its
allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the nonprofit sector, and
the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger
toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world. The Muslims
who carried out the 9/11 attacks were the product of this visceral
rage--some of it based on legitimate concerns, some of it based on
wrongful prejudice, but all of it fueled and encouraged by the
cultural left. Thus without the cultural left, 9/11 would not have
happened.
"I realize that this is a strong charge, one that no one has made
before. But it is a neglected aspect of the 9/11 debate, and it is
critical to understanding the current controversy over the 'war
against terrorism.' ... I intend to show that the left has actively
fostered the intense hatred of America that has led to numerous
attacks such as 9/11. If I am right, then no war against terrorism
can be effectively fought using the left-wing premises that are now
accepted doctrine among mainstream liberals and Democrats."
Whenever Muslims charge that the war on terror is really a war
against Islam, Americans hasten to assure them they are wrong. Yet
as Dinesh D'Souza argues in this powerful and timely polemic, there
really is a war against Islam. Only this war is not being waged by
Christian conservatives bent on a moral crusade to impose democracy
abroad but by the American cultural left, which for years has been
vigorously exporting its domestic war against religion and
traditional morality to the rest of the world.
D'Souza contends that the cultural left is responsible for 9/11 in
two ways: by fostering a decadent and depraved American culture
that angers and repulses other societies--especially traditional
and religious ones-- and by promoting, at home and abroad, an
anti-American attitude that blames America for all the problems of
the world.
Islamic anti-Americanism is not merely a reaction to U.S. foreign
policy but is also rooted in a revulsion against what Muslims
perceive to be the atheism and moral depravity of American popular
culture. Muslims and other traditional people around the world
allege that secular American values are being imposed on their
societies and that these values undermine religious belief, weaken
the traditional family, and corrupt the innocence of children. But
it is not "America" that is doing this to them, it is the American
cultural left. What traditional societies consider repulsive and
immoral, the cultural left considers progressive and liberating.
Taking issue with those on the right who speak of a "clash of
civilizations," D'Souza argues that the war on terror is really a
war for the hearts and minds of traditional Muslims--and
traditional peoples everywhere. The only way to win the struggle
with radical Islam is to convince traditional Muslims that America
is on their side.
We are accustomed to thinking of the war on terror and the culture
war as two distinct and separate struggles. D'Souza shows that they
are really one and the same. Conservatives must recognize that the
left is now allied with the Islamic radicals in a combined effort
to defeat Bush's war on terror. A whole new strategy is therefore
needed to fight both wars. "In order to defeat the Islamic radicals
abroad," D'Souza writes, "we must defeat the enemy at home."
