As Islamic terrorists took advantage of lax immigration policies to embed themselves deeply into American society and operate beneath law-enforcement radar, what was the liberal press doing?

"The last few decades have seen a welcome revival of scholarly interest in how we should live. But in an age of relativism that asks us not to be judgmental, the idea that laughter signals inferiority will seem very old-fashioned. And so it is." With that unapologetic salvo, F. H. Buckley, in this entirely entertaining book on the serious subject of laughter, takes the side of the guardians of moral and aesthetic standards in the battle against the soulless forces of modernism.
The "Hottest Book in the Country"!
Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left, it's far worse than you think.

Robert Nisbet, a conservative sociologist who lived from 1913 to 1996, anticipated by almost 50 years what is currently being said by academics and politicians who bemoan the demise of community. Now Brad Lowell Stone, a leading authority on Nisbet’s life and work, offers a close and clear exposition of his worldview, as well as a systematic survey of his contributions to the conservative movement. Nisbet’s writings, says Stone, “are an excellent place to start when persons are serious about the truths of our social world and when they seek guidance as to how they might better it.”
In these days of astonishing confusion about what it means to be a man, Brad Miner has gone back into the riches of our Western cultural heritage to recover the oldest and best ideal of manhood: the gentleman. In The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry, he revives a thousand-year tradition of chivalry, honor, and heroism, providing a model for modern masculinity that our fractious culture needs more than ever.
Former CBS News journalist Bernard Goldberg's controversial book Bias removed any lingering doubt that the mainstream media is deeply, irredeemably tilted toward the Left. Now he follows up that bestseller with an even more scorching exposé of the real aims and views of the media's most powerful figures. Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite goes far beyond simply identifying bias. In it, Goldberg once again fearlessly names names and explains why media titans not only remain in denial about the prevalence of liberal bias in news reporting, but are now advancing the fanciful claim that the media is actually biased toward conservatives!
Dr. Laura Schlessinger said it best. Faced with a hostile crowd of day care supporters, she asked them: "OK, if you could come back as an infant, stand up if you would rather be raised by a day care worker, a nanny or a babysitter [rather than your own mother]. Stand up now." No one stood up. "Then why," she asked, "are you going to do this to your children?"

Along with liberalism and secular humanism, a pernicious cause of societal imbalance has been feminism, writes W. Edward Chynoweth. In Masquerade: The Feminist Illusion, Chynoweth shows how feminism subverts the natural order of male-female relations -- creating unhappiness for both men and women, destroying families, and wreaking havoc on society. He also points the way to recovering truer, age-old norms of manhood and womanhood.
As social and political turmoil engulfed the United States during the Sixties, Eugene Davidson was there: as editor of Modern Age, he wrote regular commentaries on the events of the day — commentaries which exposed the Left’s irresponsibility, irrationality, Reflections on a Disruptive Decade reveals how today’s controversies all have their roots in the Sixties — and the same destructive forces that wreaked such havoc then are even more powerful now. read more

In this fascinating work, historian John Julian Norwich examines how nine of Shakespeare’s plays merged actual fact and poetic license. Norwich’s entrancing conclusions will likely keep historians (and Shakespeare buffs) up late at night. As the Kirkus reviewer explains, Norwich “uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeare’s writing. Norwich’s analysis of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III emphasizes factors Shakespeare added for dramatic effect and his equally strategic omissions.” read more
For decades, conservatives have lamented the Left's stranglehold on the institutions of opinion and information. Liberal opinion makers have presented their views as rock-solid truth, sweeping aside ideas and beliefs they don't like as unworthy of argument -- and because they controlled the media, no one has been able to challenge them. Until now.
All across America, young warriors for liberty are springing up, unwilling to fall into lockstep with the liberal ideology pervading campuses throughout our land. With “fire in their bellies and quills in their hands,” these passionate, truth-seeking students are forming independent campus publications that have become the most important voice of our times -- the conservative counterculture taking on the left-wing orthodoxy in the battle of ideas. They are the Sam Adams and Patrick Henrys of our era, as student Morgan N. Knull of the Wabash Commentary points out in one of the book’s many inspiring essays: “In the years before the Liberty Bell sounded a call to arms, patriots flooded newspapers and town squares with pleas for independence, sparking debate and influencing public opinion. They planted the philosophical roots for the United States...Independent papers serve as the conscience of schools, the guardian of traditions, and the voice of reason amidst the rot of higher education.” read more
From 1999 to 2003, Ari Fleischer was one of George W. Bush's most trusted advisers -- first as a top campaign aide, then as White House press secretary. As such, Fleischer had an insider's view of the most dramatic events of the President's first term -- including the disputed 2000 election results, 9/11 and its aftermath, and the pressure-filled buildup to the war in Iraq. Through it all, Fleischer had the unenviable task of putting out the President's message through a mostly Bush-hating White House press corps, which habitually took out their disdain for the President on Fleischer himself. Now, in this revealing memoir, Fleischer takes readers behind-the-scenes in the Oval Office during a time of almost continual crisis -- and tells what it was like to "take heat" from a hostile media bent on destroying the Bush presidency.
It was no coincidence that when the American family system came under critical assault, our society began to unravel as well. What's more, a series of government policies have steadily eroded the family's strength, resulting in a rampant hyper-individualism that threatens our nation's very life. Allan Carlson demonstrates this and much more of critical importance to defenders of the family in this incisive new study of the family's importance, The "American Way": Family and Community in the Shaping of the American Identity.
So says Peter Hitchens, who in the last three decades has seen the England of his youth vanish without a trace — only to be replaced by Tony Blair’s “Cool Britannia,” an internationalist welfare state brimming with ignorance and contempt for the glories of British civilization. In Abolition of Britain,details how it happened; in doing so, he reveals the Left’s full agenda for the United States.
