Synopsis

“A harrowing journey through the corridors of the twenty-first century totalitarianism that goes by the name of progressivism. Must read!”

“David Horowitz is a modern legend. This book is critical to understanding the left and how we defeat them.”

— CHARLIE KIRK

AMERICA IS HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS

THE RADICAL MIND is both a stark warning and call to arms to protect the country from decline, ruin, and disgrace. It identifies the crisis facing the nation as 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. At stake? Nothing less than the American way of life and the liberty and freedoms all Americans enjoy.

In his latest broadside against the radical left, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz pulls back the curtain of secrecy and lies and exposes the dangerous methods and agendas of a woke left mob, and identifies what a decent society needs to do to keep the country from slipping away, including:

• Defend families against the intrusion of outside  forces, ideological and governmental, which  seek to capture the hearts and minds of children to serve their destructive agendas.

• Stop radicals from debasing Judeo-Christian values and silencing Christian communities and voices in favor of political state control.

• Reject progressive blindness, including false racist narratives that America is a racist country. 

• Challenge the existential threat to American  democracy from a Democratic Party that has  made dialogue, compromise, and bipartisanship  impossible and uses a corrupt and compliant media to unleash a constant tsunami of hate toward conservatives and ordinary Americans alike.

• Renew faith in the Constitution and in individual freedom.

Read THE RADICAL MIND and join the fight against the destructive plans of the woke left: 

“The hour is late, and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, reacquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful, and the haters of human diversity who have malice in their hearts.”

— DAVID HOROWITZ

About this title

About the Author

DAVID HOROWITZ is a noted conservative thinker, writer and commentator and the Founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles, CA, whose mission is “to defend free societies which are under attack from enemies within and without, both secular and religious;” and further, to defend the principles of individual freedom, the rule of law, private property, limited government and to reestablish academic freedom in American schools. The Freedom Center publishes the online news magazine FrontPageMag.com, where Horowitz serves as Editor-in-Chief.

David Horowitz grew up a "red diaper baby" in a communist community in Sunnyside, Queens, and was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts; but forced to confront some difficult truths about the political left, Horowitz ultimately found a political and intellectual home as a conservative activist. 

Cultural critic Camille Paglia has said of David Horowitz: "I respect the astute and rigorously unsentimental David Horowitz as one of America's most original and courageous political analysts. . . I think that, a century from now, cultural historians will find David Horowitz's spiritual and political odyssey paradigmatic for our time." 

Norman Podhoretz, former editor of Commentary magazine, says of Horowitz: "David Horowitz is hated by the Left because he is not only an apostate but has been even more relentless and aggressive in attacking his former political allies than some of us who preceded him in what I once called 'breaking ranks' with that world. He has also taken the polemical and organizational techniques he learned in his days on the left and figured out how to use them against the Left, whose vulnerabilities he knows in his bones."

 

Horowitz has written well over a dozen books, including The New York Times Bestsellers Blitz: Trump will Smash the Left and Win, and Big Agenda: Trump’s Real Plan to Save America, as well as Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, Unholy Alliance, The Black Book of The American Left, Take No Prisoners, Progressive Racism, The Professors and his celebrated memoirs Morality & Faith and Radical Son.

EXCERPT 

Coda: Defense of the Republic from THE RADICAL MIND: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left by David Horowitz

The present battle for America’s soul will take generations to resolve. It is a battle that pits America’s defenders - believers in ordered liberty - against believers in the unlimited power and authority of the state. In the conflicts that ensue, the two institutions that will lead the defense of America’s constitutional order are the American family, and members – or respecters – of Judeo-Christian religions.

Already the revolt against the progressive assault in the schools is being led by parents outraged by the efforts of teacher unions to come between them and their children, to enlist the defenseless innocent in racist attacks on their country and its freedoms, and to inflict on them life-altering drugs and ungrounded attitudes about “gender fluidity” and transgenderism, as part of their plan to “change the world.”

The family, for better or worse, is the shaper of values and the first defender of individual freedoms against the intrusions of the state. The health of society rises and falls with the health and strength of the family and its bonds. A decent society will be one that defends families against the intrusion of outside forces, ideological and governmental which seek to capture its children to serve their destructive agendas.

The second institutional pillar of the nation’s defense is religion – specifically the principles embraced, and the communities formed by members of Judeo-Christian religions. One doesn’t have to be a believer in divine origins, or trust in a divine destiny, to appreciate the fact that America’s constitutional order was the creation of believing Christians, whose vision was shaped by the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation.

American freedoms and America’s revolutionary ideal of equality can all be traced to the Christian values associated with Martin Luther and his disciples. Thomas Jefferson did not believe in the divinity of Christ, but he did rely on his biblical faith and what it taught him about human nature and human behavior, which led him to champion these values.

Every freedom enjoyed by Americans is a gift of the faith that they were bestowed not by a government of men, but by a divinity. Therefore there is no human authority that can take them away. They are unalienable.

Radicals hate the religious community because religious communities are based on allegiance to a higher power and moral authority than the political state. They are the defenders of the private sphere, of the freedom of conscience and its expression, which is the basis of all the freedoms we have.

The hour is late and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, re-acquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful and the haters of human diversity with malice in their hearts.
