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.
Grover Norquist created Americans for Tax Reform in 1985 at the request of Ronald Reagan. Since then, his "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" has been signed by hundreds of Congress members, and Norquist has become one of the conservative movement’s most influential organizers and strategists. Not only does he chair the famous "Wednesday Meeting" in Washington, DC -- a weekly gathering of some 120 powerful conservative activists, Republican congressional and executive staffers, writers, think tank members, and business leaders -- but he sits on the board of the National Rifle Association, the American Conservative Union, and other conservative organizations. Now, in Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives, the man Newt Gingrich calls "the single most effective conservative activist in the country" explains the nature and power of the coalition he leads. read more |

The fifteen health-care experts who contribute to this book challenge the premise that we still have a free market in medical care. They demonstrate, in fact, that medicine is already the most over-regulated industry in America, which accounts for nearly all of its problems -- from skyrocketing insurance premiums to the rationing of care by HMOs. Then they explain why harmful consequences inevitably follow when government sets out to regulate medical services, goods, prices and qualifications. Finally, they show how deregulation, privatization and reliance on competitive markets would produce dramatic cost reductions, better quality, and greater access for all Americans. read more |

Conservatives have good reason to be fed up. Wherever we look, in every sector of our economy and every level of our government and politics, it's obvious that the prevailing policies are deliberately designed to benefit an elite few at the expense of the rest of us. It's time to transform our democracy back into what it was intended to be: no longer a government of the pampered congressmen, paid for by the lobbyists who pervert the process for the benefit of greedy special interests, but a government truly of the people, by the people, and for the people. In Outrage: How Liberals, Congress, Unions, Drug Companies, Big Oil, Banks, Lobbyists, Corporations, the United Nations, the World Bank, the INS, the TSA, and the Democratic Party Are Ripping Us Off...and What to Do About It, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann show just how bad things have gotten -- and outline a way to bring the American public square back to what it should be. read more |

by Clayton Cramer
Hardcover
Our Price: $9.95 You Save: 63%
For many Americans, guns seem to be a fundamental part of the American experience - and always have been. But in 2000, Emory University history professor Michael A. Bellesiles published a startling book, Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, that challenged this conventional wisdom. Throughout American history, opined Bellesiles, guns were much rarer, and more rigorously controlled, than popular culture and gun-rights advocates would have us believe. Gun-controllers were beside themselves with delight, and Bellesiles was showered with accolades -- including the Bancroft Prize, the nation's most prestigious award for a history book.
Within two short years, however, Bellesiles' scholarship would be exposed as not only shoddy but fraudulent – leading to the loss of his professorship at Emory, the revocation of his prize, and the withdrawal of his book from publication. The prime mover behind that truth campaign was Clayton Cramer, a fellow historian who had been challenging Bellesiles' false claims ever since they began circulating in academic circles. Now, in Armed America: The Remarkable Story of How and Why Guns Became as American as Apple Pie, Cramer delivers the definitive answer to Bellesiles and his anti-gun supporters – who incredibly, continue to argue that the problems with Arming America are confined to a few paragraphs. read more |

by James Fenimore Cooper
Hardcover
Our Price: $9.95 You Save: 72%
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 |
