by Al Regnery; Grover Norquist
Hardcover
Our Price: $36.95 You Save: 30%
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 |

by Jed Babbin
Hardcover
Our Price: $9.95 You Save: 64%
We Americans are great talkers, but not often great listeners. When some dictator or terrorist threatens to end our way of life, destroy our economy, or end our influence in his region of the world, we usually find some way to ignore him or rationalize his statements. That's what we did with Osama bin Laden in his long, brazenly public buildup to 9/11 -- and it's what we risk doing again with other deadly enemies who are also making their intentions plain. Now, in In the Words of Our Enemies, bestselling author Jed Babbin (former deputy undersecretary of defense), exposes the demagogues, dictators, and death squads who openly threaten America -- with potentially devastating consequences, if we aren't alert to the danger. read more |

by James Fenimore Cooper
Hardcover
Our Price: $29.95 You Save: 14%
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 |
