When it comes to the conservative movement in America, Alfred S. Regnery has seen it all. He has watched conservatism go from a shining idea held by a few in response to an overwhelming liberal ascendancy to a mainstream ideology stoutly defended by millions of Americans -- and he has seen it up close and personal. Now, in Upstream: The Ascendance of American Conservatism, he tells the story of that historic movement as no one else can.

She's the author of three New York Times bestsellers: Slander, Treason, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors. She's the most high-profile and controversial conservative intellectual on the scene today. Yet most publications find her too hot to handle. Her syndicated column, although brimming with her trademark wit and incisive political observations, appears in only a handful of papers. But now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), Coulter collects the best of those columns, including some that no one dared to print before.

For the first time," writes Russell Kirk in his Foreword to The Essential Calhoun, "it is now possible to apprehend Calhoun and to seriously examine his thought within the compass of a single volume. This is an important accomplishment, for Calhoun's political thought is more original and more closely reasoned than that of any other American statesman." read more

In 1966, Ronald Reagan’s astounding million-vote victory in the California gubernatorial race against incumbent Pat Brown caught the liberal establishment by surprise. The entrenched Democratic party, which viewed Reagan with disdain, had mistakenly considered him more an annoyance than a political threat. Just how did conservatism deliver such a crushing blow to liberalism?

By most accounts, the year 1964 was a disastrous one for conservatives. After a series of liberal legislative victories, Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater by the biggest margin since FDR's 1936 landslide, and the Democratic Party gained its biggest majorities since the glory days of the New Deal. Yet this seemingly decisive shift in public opinion was illusory -- and the triumphant liberals would soon overplay their hand. Meanwhile, the conservative movement was quietly gaining strength, aligning itself behind an inspiring new leader who, only sixteen years later, would bring it to national dominance. read more

No one is better equipped to answer questions like those than R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., because no one has done more to unearth the truth about Clinton's character and carrer than Tyrrell and his magazine, The American Spectator. Tyrrell traces the formative influence on the young, fatherless Clinton of the hustlers and rogues who populated his real childhood hometown of Hot Springs (not Hope), Arkansas. He shows how the influence-peddlers who dominated Arkansas politics served as Clinton's real political mentors and role models. And he explains how these factors combined with Clinton's Sixties-era radicalism to create a new, more dangerous type of career politician. read more

As one of the most visible members of the Judiciary Committee that impeached Bill Clinton, Jim Rogan gained widespread attention -- and the enduring gratitude of conservatives -- for helping to spearhead the process. Though his liberal constituency responded by voting him out of office in 2000, Rogan remains a celebrated figure among conservatives. But this is just part of his amazing life story. Now, in Rough Edges, Rogan tells that story in what is certainly the funniest, most freewheeling -- and perhaps the most honest -- political memoir ever written.

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.”

Even before the presidential election of 2000 was resolved, numerous intellectuals, politicians, and journalists were calling for the abolition of the Electoral College. But is it really an outmoded and undemocratic institution? The writers assembled for this volume show why it would be folly to abolish the Electoral College by explaining its role in providing a measure of stability and sanity to our electoral and party systems: read more

Meet the elites. They think you're stupid. They think all freedom loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live -- anywhere but near or in a few major cities -- is an insipid cultural wasteland.

Fighting dirty is nothing new for liberals. But recently, writes conservative commentator Ann Coulter, things have gotten worse. Now, it seems, there's no limit to what leading liberals in politics and the media will say to discredit -- even destroy -- their conservative opponents. Result? "The spirit of the First Amendment has been effectively repealed for conservative speech."

Few contemporary Americans know that James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), best known for his creation of Natty Bumppo and the Leatherstocking Tales, also wrote profound social criticism of the Jacksonian era. Yet, while his three political works -- Notions of the Americans, A Letter to His Countrymen, and The American Democrat -- come from a distinct era of American history, Cooper's thoughts on the Constitution, limited government, the nature and abuses of political power, and the importance of morality and religion to a democracy, remain as relevant today as they were in the 1820s and 1830s. This edition, the latest installment in the Club's Conservative Leadership Series, is the first to combine all three works -- the entirety of Letter and The American Democrat, and numerous excerpts from Notions. read more

As usual, Ann Coulter gets right to the point. "Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason," she begins this book. "You could be talking about Scrabble and they would instantly leap to the anti-American position. Everyone says liberals love America, too. No they don't. Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. This is their essence."
