The book addresses a perceived crisis threatening America's democratic foundations, arguing that current narratives portray the nation as inherently racist and deserving of destruction. It contends that these views are propagated by influential institutions, including the government and educational systems. By presenting a counter-narrative, it aims to reclaim America's historical achievements and its legacy as a symbol of freedom. Through the lens of Martin Luther’s ideas, the author asserts that racial progress stems from America's founding ideals rather than leftist agendas, advocating for a restoration of individual dignity and freedom.
New York Times Bestselling author, former Red Diaper Baby turned legendary conservative pundit, and founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Horowitz turns his focus to the upcoming mid-terms and 2024 presidential elections. As the far-left progressives and socialists masquerading as Democrats take over the schools, major media, high tech, and corporations, Horowitz says their real plan is the destruction of America. If the Democrats prevail in the upcoming elections, America will move even closer to a one-party state. FINAL BATTLE lays out what's at stake and provides what he believes is the best hope for saving America as we know it by creating a conservative mass movement that can defeat the left wing.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS IN CRISIS. The crisis facing our nation is a crisis of faith - faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in individual freedom and accountability, faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness consuming America is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington and in America's urban centers by a party that has fallen under the control of a radical left that believes in breaking the law for "social justice" and puts its faith in the supremacy of the state. This Left describes itself as "progressive," but is inspired by views that are hundreds of years old and have been discredited wherever they have been put into practice. Progressives are focused on "re-imagining" American institutions and principles to conform to an ideological conception of the future which they describe as "equitable" and "socially just." To achieve this future, the left's first goal is to dismantle the constitutional order that has created the prosperity and freedoms that have grown and spread since the American founding. The left views this order as "racist," "oppressive," and in need of a "fundamental transformation."
The best-selling author argues that the greatest threat facing the United States is the "totalitarian" faction of the Democratic party, such as the leaders of the Women's March and opponents of Brett Kavanuagh's Supreme Court nomination.
Conservative commentator David Horowitz looks ahead to the 2020 Presidential election, chronicling bitter backlash President Trump has faced and denounces left-wing socialist agendas.
In a narrative that possesses both remarkable political importance and extraordinary literary power, David Horowitz tells the story of his startling political odyssey from Sixties radical to Nineties conservative. A political document of our times, Radical Son traces three generations of one American family's infatuation with the radical left from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Marxist empire six decades later. David Horowitz was one of the Founders of the New Left and an editor of Ramparts, the magazine that set the intellectual and revolutionary tone for the movement. From his vantage point at the center of the action, he populates Radical Son with vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade, while unmaking America at the same time. We are introduced to an aged Bertrand Russell, the world-famous philosopher and godson of John Stuart Mill, who in his nineties became America's scourge, organizing A War Crimes Tribunal over the war in Vietnam. There is Tom Hayden, the radical Everyman who promoted guerrilla warfare in America's cities in the Sixties, married film legend Jane Fonda, and became a Democratic state senator when his revolutions failed. We meet Huey Newton, a street hustler and murderer who founded a black militia that became the Sixties' most resonant symbol of black power and black militance. Horowitz's encounter with Newton and his Black Panthers. The most celebrated radical group of the Sixties, becomes the focal point of the story when a brutal murder committed by the Panthers changes his life forever, prompting the profound "second thoughts" that eventually led him to become an intellectual leader of conservatism and its most prominent activist in Hollywood
Argues that a progressive war is being waged against America's Christian principles, contending that secular agendas for issues ranging from school prayer to globalism are linked to communist origins.
Mortality and Faith is the second half of an autobiography of David Horowitz whose first installment, Radical Son, was published more than twenty years ago. It completes the account of his life from where the first book left off to his seventy-eighth year. In contrast to Radical Son whose focus was his political odyssey, Mortality and Faith was conceived as a meditation on age, and on our common progress towards an end which is both final and opaque. These primal facts affect all we see and do, and force us to answer the questions as to why we are here and where we are going with conjectures that can only be taken on faith. Consequently, an equally important theme of this work is its exploration of the beliefs we embrace to answer these questions, and how the answers impact our lives.
In this, the sixth volume of his collected conservative writings, Horowitz examines the transformation of the civil rights movement from a cause opposing racism-- the denigration of individuals on the basis of their skin color-- into a movement endorsing race preferences and privileges for select groups based on their skin color. He shows that the civil rights movement has become an oppressor of African Americans by supporting a failed school system that blights the lives of millions of African American children and a welfare system that has destroyed the black family.
"David Horowitz spent the first part of his life in the world of the Communist-progressive left, a politics he inherited from his mother and father, and later in the New Left as one of its founders. When the wreckage he and his comrades had created became clear to him in the mid-1970s, he left. Three decades of second thoughts then made him this movement's principal intellectual antagonist. "For better or worse," as Horowitz writes in the preface to this, the first volume of his collected conservative writings, "I have been condemned to spend the rest of my days attempting to understand how the left pursues the agendas from which I have separated myself, and why." When Horowitz began his odyssey, the left had already escaped the political ghetto to which his parents' generation and his own had been confined. Today, it has become the dominant force in America's academic and media cultures, electing a president and achieving a position from which it can shape America's future. How it achieved its present success and what that success portends are the overarching subjects of Horowitz's conservative writings. Through the unflinching focus of one singularly engaged witness, the identity of a destructive movement that constantly morphs itself in order to conceal its identity and mission becomes disturbingly clear. In Volume I of these writings, "My Life and Times," Horowitz reflects on the years he spent at war with his own country, collaborating with and confronting radical figures like Huey Newton, Tom Hayden and Billy Ayers, as he made his transition from what the writer Paul Berman described as the American left's "most important theorist" to its most determined enemy"-- Provided by publisher
