Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America Review: Horowitz’s Insight and Perspective are Epic - I read “Take No Prisoners” by David Horowitz and thought it was so good, I bought a second copy and had it sent to my brother in West Virginia, so I couldn’t wait for this book to be published, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is probably the best Trump book I’ve read and Mr. Horowitz is as blunt as Dr. Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter. This book was so good I read it in one setting. Some books have tedious reading in some parts, but not this one. In the writing style of “Take No Prisoners” Mr. Horowitz writes “Big Agenda” in short, concise, easy to understand chapters. In the introduction Horowitz writes, “This book is a guide to fighting the opponents of the conservative restoration. It identifies who the adversaries are, their methods, and their motivations. It describes their agenda - not merely the particular issues with which they advance their goal, but the destructive goal itself. And it lays out a strategy that can defeat them.” He proceeds to brilliantly present this “guide” by dividing the book into three parts, “The Adversary”, The Agenda and The Strategy. In Chapter 1 of, “The Adversary”, Mr. Horowitz presents an objective assessment of the current situation of the country after eight years of liberal leadership. Chapter 2 looks at the divisions on the right. And in chapter 3 titled, “The Roots of Executive Tyranny” he goes into the history of how we got where we are. Mr. Horowitz states, “The founders were concerned about the chief executive they had created and the possibility that an unscrupulous occupant of the White House might attempt to make himself a new monarch. They were concerned that, like Obama, he might spurn the legislative powers of congress and rule by executive order. As Andrew McCarthy explain in an article for “National Review” the Constitution entrusted the House with two checks on executive tyranny. The first lay in the power of the purse, which the House could use to block any expansion of executive power by denying the president that means to achieve it. They could defund his unconstitutional programs and remove the means to execute his extralegal designs. The second check was impeachment, available when the president proved so lawless as to require removal.”” Mr. Horowitz then goes on to describe some of President Obamas lawless and unconstitutional actions with the following conclusion, “The result of the Republican’s cowardice was a breakdown of the constitutional system, the disenfranchised of Republican voters, the establishment of an executive tyranny, and the continuing corruption of government institutions like the IRS and the Department of Justice and Homeland Security.” Chapter 4 digs into the progressive movement in America and asks the question, “How can conservatives stop the Democratic Party's drive to dismantle the Constitutional foundations of the nation and reshape its social order?” “This movement is too powerful inside and outside the Democratic Party for an individual leader to deviate too far from the progressive path.” He goes on to discuss the progressives contempt for our Constitution and the Rule of Law, the hatred in the hearts of progressives and asks the question, “How many conservatives prior to this election year and the WikiLeaks document dump would have expected the Clintons were capable of so many criminal acts and such contempt for the safety of ordinary Americans?” His follows with some quotes of Hillary Clinton that I think you will find interesting, but you’ll have to read the book. Chapter 5 talks about how the Democrats use the race card, and the term “racist” and “racism” to attack and discredit Republicans, but I seriously doubt that conservatives need to be told that. Chapter 6 titled, “Hatred in Their Hearts, I found quite interesting in that Mr. Horowitz explained that in order to fight and defeat progressivism you have to understand the adversary, its motives, tactics, and means, before you can ever defeat him. Does that sound like identifying and saying “radical Islamic terrorism? Mr. Horowitz explains, “Progressives dream of a world of political correctness and politically enforced equality, where everybody is taken care of by taxing the rich until there are no more rich, universities and schools admit no ideas that are hurtful or offending, environments have no pollution, countries have no borders, and nations have no armies. Progressives are so enthralled by their dreams of heaven on earth that they see those who oppose their dreams as evil, which is why they hate them.” He goes on to say, “Progressives are social redeemers. They see themselves as saving the vulnerable and saving the planet.” I never heard it put quite so succinctly, but it makes sense. He talks about progressive’s belief that the ends justify the means (one of Saul Alinsky’s rule for radicals I believe) and that whatever it takes to reach your goal, moral or immoral, legal or illegal, truth or lying is OK as long and the desired end is reached. That sure doesn’t bode well for the honesty and integrity of progressives. Mr. Horowitz then reminds us that, “Hillary Clinton violated the espionage laws; she broke her oath of office, she lied to Congress and the FBI about her illegal server, which exposed classified secrets to American enemies, she lied to the general public to hide what she did and repeated her lies over the course of a year; she lied about the number of illegal, unsecured handheld devices she used, and she destroyed or “lost” all of them to hide what she had done; she obstructed justice - a felony – by destroying her e-mails days after Congress has subpoenaed them and warned her not to destroy them; she lied to the American public and the world about the deaths of four American heroes, including the ambassador who was her friend and whose demise came about as a result of circumstances in which she had played a significant role; she lied to the mothers of the dead over their coffins. Yet through all this disgraceful criminal activity which, would have disqualified anyone else has a presidential candidate, not a single Democratic elected official - not one – said, “This is a bridge too far; I can't go along with this.” Not one.” The end does justify the means for progressives. In Chapter 7 titled “No Rules for Radicals”, Mr. Horowitz goes into the writings of communist Saul Alinsky (which I’ve read ad nauseum and I won’t go into here) who Comrade Obama and Hillary Clinton are both disciples of, along with close Obama associates, convicted terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. One thing interesting that I did learn was that the term “Political Correctness” was originally coined by the Chinese dictator and mass murderer Mao Zedong. Mr. Horowitz says that, “By being “politically correct,” Mao meant adhering to the official position of the communist party, which the comrades referred to as “the party line.”” Another familiar term, enlightening huh? In Chapter 1 of Part II, titled, “The Agenda” Mr. Horowitz starts with Obamacare and calls Obamacare, “An attack on individual freedom.” He says, “Today, Alinsky progressives - first and foremost Obama and Clinton – are leaders of the Democratic Party, which they have transformed from a party of the liberal center into a party of the political left.” “The Democratic party has moved so far to the left in recent decades that it now operates on the sixties’ principle that the issues it advances are mere stepping stones on the way to more radical changes.” “Because Obamacare represented a radical departure, a stepping stone to socialized medicine already rejected by Americans during the Clinton Administration, Democrats had to resort to deception to pass it, even with their bicameral majorities.” “The lies were even used to deceive the Congressional Budget Office and the Democrats in Congress who passed it.” Jonathan Gruber, a principal architect of the plan said, “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever. But basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.” The end justifies the means. Under Obamacare, “the government, and more than likely a single government agency, would eventually have access to the health care and financial information that every American - all 330 million - and would also control their ability to gain life-extending drugs and medical treatments should they need them. “Death Panels” are an inevitable element of any government healthcare monopoly, which inevitably requires a rationing of services. It means that unscrupulous government bureaucrats would have vital information about any individual to use as blackmail against political opponents. This is the basis not only for a socialist state but for a totalitarian one in which every individual is at the mercy of the rulers.” “That a totalitarian infrastructure, in which the life of every individual comes under government scrutiny and control should be the endpoint of the progressive schemes should surprise no one. Ever-expanding control of the individual and “the private sector” is integral to the Democratic Party's agenda to create a progressive future and remold the people who inhabit it.” In Chapter 2, titled, “The Environment,” Mr. Horowitz makes the point I have made in previous book reviews; that all of this environmental panic and climate change hype is, as Horowitz puts it, “A pretext for government control.” Mr. Horowitz states, “The Obama administration's implementation of its environmental agenda, which (Hillary) Clinton promised in her campaign to expand. “Without congressional authorization,” write Yuval Levine and Ramesh Ponneru, “the administration has used the Environmental Protection Agency, the supposedly independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and other agencies to pressure energy producers, the auto industry, power utilities, and others to toe the president's preferred line. In one particularly egregious instance, the EPA moved in 2014 to require the states to regulate electricity production and consumption to meet a set of arbitrary carbon dioxide-emission targets-under threat of restricting their resident’s access to electricity. The environment provides the perfect pretext for the progressive in Washington to expand their control over the lives of Americans, whom they obviously regard as subjects rather than citizens.” In Chapter 3 titled “The Myth of Systemic Racism,” Mr. Horowitz explains that, “the 2016 Democratic Party platform states, “We will push for societal transformation” and that this should be, “a warning that progressives are serious when it comes to revolutionary change.” He goes on to explain that this began with Woodrow Wilson, and how progressives are not happy categorizing Americans in one group called “Americans;” progressives, “have assigned American Citizens to categories; “disadvantaged,” “oppressed,” “under-represented” groups and provide them with privileges based on race, gender, and ethnicity.” This he calls “identity politics” and that, “by empowering groups instead of individuals (progressives) are in fact, antithetical to the principles of the American founding, which proclaim that individuals - regardless of what groups that belong to - have God-given rights that are inalienable and that government cannot subordinate or take away.” While the 2016 Democratic Party platform promises that “Democrats will fight to end institutional and systemic racism in our society,” Mr. Horowitz explains that, “institutional or systemic racism has been illegal in America for 50 years.” This is a created problem for progressive big government to solve and that, “this “prejudice,” however, “is a progressive myth.” He demonstrates that, “there is no systemic racism in America's institutions, and if there is, it is already a legal and easily remedied.” And that, “It is no coincidence that the cultural dominance of the left, and eight years of the Obama Administration has divided the nation along racial lines to a degree not seen for generations.” In Chapter 4 Mr. Horowitz gets into globalism and radical Islam, the title of the chapter and opens with the statement: “The Erasure of the American Republic is the core agenda of the Democrat Party.” He goes on to support that statement by partially explaining the Democrat’s love for greeting immigrants with open arms even though some of them intend to exploit and kill American citizens by saying, “The dream of open borders captures the contempt with which Progressive regard America’s sovereignty and the hard-won achievements of its people.” I say partially explain because another reason is Democrats view immigrants as potential Democratic voters. Mr. Horowitz discusses Sanctuary Cities and refers to them as a “particularly aggressive instance the left’s anti-American agenda.” He say that, “Behind the movement to create Sanctuary Cities were two radical organizations – the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights.” He reproduces their resolution the Sanctuary Cities entered into and says that, “The resolutions – really acts of sedition – were passed by their Democratic allies, turning them into Sanctuary Cities.” Mr. Horowitz writes, “America is the target of a religious War. Consequently such a ban places serious obstacles in the way of officials attempting to assess threats and prevent them before they happen.” In Part III, “The Strategy,” Mr. Horowitz gets into the real meat of his book. I couldn’t wait to get to this part. Chapter 1 is titled, “The Goal and the Path” and Mr. Horowitz explains the goal and the path in one paragraph, “The goal is to put Democrats on the defensive. This can only be accomplished by taking away their moral high ground - their claim to represent the so-called 99 percent against the 1percent. The strategy is to expose their hypocrisy and turn their firepower against them - to focus on the races, genders, ethnicities, and classes who suffer because of their policies under their rule. The strategy is to go for the jugular.” And that’s the chapter, but it is a segue into his point in the next chapter that, “The progressive vision of American society as a hierarchy of races, genders, and classes is delusional and destructive, but it has been the dominant force in America's political culture for more than half a century. It is the creed of America's society-shaping institutions, schools, and the media - and its party line of political correctness is now the conventional wisdom in America's boardrooms and courts.” And “Resistance begins with the will to confront the adversary head-on. That is the attitude that characterized Donald Trump’s campaign from its inception.” This sure sounds like something that the weak-kneed sissy conservatives in Congress are not too likely to cheerfully embrace, and probably aren’t capable of. Mr. Horowitz quotes “Mike Tyson, who summed up this strategy with the following observation: “Everybody has a game plan until you punch them in the mouth.” Mr. Horowitz somewhat humorously again refers to this quotation on page 142, which I'll get to in the review of that chapter. Chapter 3 titled “The Achilles Heel of the Democratic Party interested me because after 75 trips around the sun, I thought I’d never seen the Achilles heel of the Democratic, but this chapter causes some soul-searching and reminds us that things that go on every day in the inter-cities are rarely ever seen by people outside of them. Mr. Horowitz begins with a strong statement: “Progresses are willing to lie, defame, and destroy for their cause because they are imbued with the idea that what they are doing is noble. They see themselves as champions of the powerless, voices of the voiceless, and defenders of the under-represented, the downtrodden, and the “people of color” who are everywhere oppressed. They are intoxicated with their own virtue, which is why no crime they commit or deception they practice can shame them or cause them to break with their own ranks.” He says that “The only way to bring Democrats down to earth, where they might feel subject to the same standards as everyone else, is to attack them with the same moral force they use to prosecute their mission; the only way to do it is to turn their fire on them.” “To do this the Republicans need to direct their arrows at the Achilles’ heel of the Democratic Party: its Monopoly control of the inner cities of America and its responsibility for the misery and suffering inside them. This control stretches over a period of 50 to 100 years in major cities like Chicago, Detroit. Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Washington, DC, and many others. These are the centers of America's worst poverty, highest crime rates, failing schools, and general hopelessness. They have been in the hands of Democrats and under their rule for as long as most of the people who inhabit them have been alive. Everything that is wrong with the inner cities of America that policy can affect, Democrats are responsible for: every killing field; every school that year in and year out fails to teach its children the basic skills they need to get ahead; every school that fails to graduate 30 to 40 percent of his charges while those who do get degrees are often functionally illiterate; every welfare system that promotes dependency, condemning it's recipients to lifetimes of this destitution; every gun-control law that disarms law-abiding citizens and high crime rate areas and leaves them defenseless against predators; every catch-and-release policy that puts of violent criminals back on the streets; every regulation that ties the hands of the police; every material moral support provided to anti-police agitators like Black Lives Matter, who incite violence against the only protection inter-city families have; every onerous regulation and corporate tax that drives businesses and jobs out of inter-city neighborhoods; every rhetorical assault that tars Democrats’ opponents as “racists” and “race traitors” perpetuating a one-party system that denies inter-city inhabitants the leverage and influence of a two-party system.” “The war of the Democrats have declared on America’s social contract is a war on individual rights and individual accountability, which are the bedrock of American’s constitutional system. This is a flight for American freedom - the soul of what this country stands for and the foundations of all its success.” Mr. Horowitz points out in Chapter 4, “The Democrats Wars on Men and Women,” that, “Whatever page one turns to in the Democratic playbook, one is reminded that Democrats regard politics as war by other means. In war there are no rules, and Democrats have shown over and over that they are prepared to conduct that war with all the ruthlessness that they can muster.” “The strategy is to put Democrats on the defensive by taking away their moral high ground. The strategy is to focus on groups, races, genders, authenticities, and classes - that suffer under their policies and rule. The goal is to expose their hypocrisy by posing as champions of the voiceless, the powerless, and the oppressed.” Chapter 5 is with regard to obstructionism by the Democrats and Mr. Horowitz says it is a good thing if policy (liberal) policies are bad. Ending leftist indoctrination in our schools is the subject of Chapter 5 and Mr. Horowitz’s point is that “The societal transformation that progressives hope to engineer begins in our universities and schools. No institution has been more instrumental and laying the groundwork for this transformation, and training is its agents, than the American university. For nearly half a century leftists have been working to turn liberal arts colleges into indoctrination and recruitment centers for left-wing causes. And they have succeeded.” “To say that our universities now engage in systematic miseducation and indoctrination would be an understatement.” “The transformation of the academic curriculum into indoctrination program for the political left has been made possible by a steady purge of Republicans from academic faculties over the last 50 years.” And he says that “Any effort to stop the left’s plan for society transformation must begin with measures to restore universities to the institution they once were - to see to it that liberal arts faculties adhere to the same nonideological (sic) standards as the sciences and that faculties once again feature diverse political perspectives that reflect the diversity of society at large.” “As of 2014, Republicans controlled 68 out of 98 partisan state legislature chambers - the highest number in the history of the party. In other words, Republicans control the purse strings that can be used to restrain the progressive juggernaut. Why should half the country fund institutions that regard them as racist, sexist, homophobes, Islamophobes, xenophobes - in a word deplorables”? Republicans should use their leverage to represent the half of the population that academic ideologues would have put it into the basket of deplorables and restore intellectual diversity to institutions that have become one-party states. Republicans should use their leverage to restore academic standards and democratic values to the most important institutions shaping America's future.” Mr. Horowitz’s message is that Republicans must fight dirty politics with dirtier politics, fight dirty lies with dirtier truths about the liberal opponent. Chapter 7 is an eye opener as Mr. Horowitz tells us where the bulk of the money comes from, other than George Soros, to fund all of left-wing organizations of which the left-wing Ford Foundation is the largest. Surprise! Your tax dollar, and it’s about $249 to every progressive organization for every $1 to conservative organizations, and to make matter worse, most of these organizations are tax exempt. Mr. Horwitz says, “Instead of planning their heads in the sand, as they have for decades, Republican should be demanding revisions to the tax code and redefining charities to be institutions like hospitals and adoption services that exist for the benefit of everyone and not just political fractions. Nonprofits concerned with policy or political issues should not be getting subset subsidies from the taxpayers; truly charitable institutions should.” It turns out that, “government unions are the most important funding base of the Democratic Party and provide the lion's share of its troops” and Mr. Horowitz discloses the details in Chapter 8, where he says, “government unions (are) a conflict of interest that needs to be ended.” “The ability of government unions to act politically represents an unacceptable conflict of interest. Government unions can raise slush funds for candidates and elect those who promised to raise their member’s wages and provide them with lucrative benefit packages paid by taxpayers.” And, “Today's unions are run almost exclusively by left-wing radicals, socialists, and communists.” Chapter 9 is titled “Corruption and Cowardice and pretty much covered stuff in other books I’ve read on Clinton corruption like “Clinton Cash,” but I did learn something that I must have missed elsewhere about Huma Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood. Mr. Horowitz asks, to “Consider the case of Hillary Clinton's right-hand aide Huma Abedin. Abedin (a Muslim) was hired by Hillary from a previous job working for an organization run by the Muslim World League the creator of al-Qaeda. Her boss Abdullah Omar Nasseef, was Secretary General of the league, and it is wanted by authorities in connection with the 9-11 attacks. Abedin's mother and brother are leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood as was her late father. She herself was a board member of the Muslim Student Association a Muslim Brotherhood front group.” Horowitz – “A reasonable question would be, did Huma Abedin, Hillary's Deputy Chief of Staff at the State Department influence America's tilt toward the Muslim Brotherhood during these turbulent events (America helping he Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt and opposing the al-Sisi regime) that affected American policy and eroded America's power in the Middle East? Congressman Michele Bachmann and four other House Republicans actually signed a letter to the Inspector General asking a series of questions to that effect, suggesting an inquiry was an order.” “Note that only five Republicans out of more than 200 Republican house members were even willing to ask such questions. The reason became quickly obvious, as the letter was denounced by liberal media as a witch-hunt, and the signers were attack with fellow Republicans, including Speaker of the House John Boehner, who said, “I don't know Huma, but from everything I do know she has a sterling character. And I think the accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Aberdeen's collusion in the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and violations of the Espionage Act do not indicate a “sterling character” and seem potentially far more dangerous than asking questions.” And we expect our Republican wimps in the House or Representatives to fight back, much less fight dirty? Yea right! Good luck with that. Chapter 11 urges Republicans to” go on the attack and stay on it.” “Reckless trade deals (have) sent Americans to the back of the bus and squandered the prosperity they had created over generations.” “Donald Trump's bluntness in confronting the corruption of both parties for participating in a rigged system that left their constituents out in the cold.” Mr. Horowitz suggests that, “To stop the Democrats and their societal transformation, Republicans must adhere to a strategy that begins with a punch in the mouth. (Thank you Mike Tyson) That punch must pack an emotional wallop large enough to throw them off balance and neutralizer assaults. It must be framed as a moral indictment that stigmatizes them in the way their attacks stigmatize Republicans. It must expose them for their hypocrisy. It must hold them accountable for the divisions they sow and the suffering they caused. Republicans need to turn the Democrat’s guns around and fight fire with fire.” My guess is it won’t happen unless Donald Trump leads the charge then maybe a few of the non-wimps will follow. Chapters 12 and 13 sums it up. “Republicans must drop their attitude if these political conflicts are “business as usual” and must begin to confront the fact that the progressive agenda is a dagger aimed at the heart of America social contract in the security of the American people.” “The new Republicanism must be a movement opposed to the progressives’ sell out of American sovereignty, of Americans historical uniqueness. It must be an unapologetic in its patriotism and in its commitment to rebuilding America economically and militarily. Third, the new Republicanism must show is contempt for political correctness that denies the virtues of America’s culture, which is founded on individual rights and equality before the law. It must oppose progressive “multiculturalism,” which seeks to replace this culture with an anti-American hierarchies of gender, class, and race.” “If this election season did nothing else it serves a dramatize Trump's claim that the system is rigged and the level of unchecked corruption is greater than anyone thought.” This is a very powerful book that puts political correctness in the trash can, calls progressives what they are in the no holds barred, in your face way they typically do to conservatives. Mr. Horowitz puts the shoe on the other foot for a change, so watch the progressives cry foul. The challenges President Trump faces with progressives in education, “charitable” left-wing political tax exempt organizations, government unions, corruption in government, the progress civil service moles deeply embedded in government and on and on and or are daunting seem almost insurmountable. He must really clean house and fire like Regan did with the Air Traffic Controllers, and we need to elect more representatives like him, businessmen not politicians. God help America if we don’t succeed. Review: Horowitz's "Big Agenda" is excellent writing by an author at the peak of his powers - David Horowitz gets it exactly right. A very well written book. Easy to read, clear and hardly an extra word. The book seems simple, like it was written at the junior high school level, but it only seems that way because Horowitz is such a master of his subject. Really, the content is at the highest level of the most current events with lots of detail. Every assertion is backed up by references which the reader can look up. The author's tone is calm and businesslike. No extreme statements, just all matter-of-fact delivery of train-loads of information and solutions. Truly excellent writing (and/or maybe the author has an excellent editor). I could not write the most commonplace piece, such as a cooking recipe, with such clarity and flow. I write quite a lot professionally, and I am nowhere near as good. Students should get and read this book just to learn how to write book reports and term papers. Horowitz's content is stunning. The left-liberal movement is shown to be as faulty and deceptive as many of us have been guessing for years. Thing is, Horowitz hardly makes any assertions (theses) or arguments. The facts are so clearly laid out that the thesis is self-evident, and when Horowitz finishes a section with something like "this means X", the conclusion is indisputable, and no argument is needed. Quite remarkable. Horowitz gives very concrete prescriptions for change. Many of them, quite specific. This is not merely an exposé but a solution to the present political quagmire in the U.S. Foreign readers will probably find many applicable points. I also think that Horowitz's solutions will be valid for many years or even decades. After all, the left has been up to the same game since about, oh, 1849 I'd say.

Horowitz’s Insight and Perspective are Epic
I read “Take No Prisoners” by David Horowitz and thought it was so good, I bought a second copy and had it sent to my brother in West Virginia, so I couldn’t wait for this book to be published, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is probably the best Trump book I’ve read and Mr. Horowitz is as blunt as Dr. Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter. This book was so good I read it in one setting. Some books have tedious reading in some parts, but not this one. In the writing style of “Take No Prisoners” Mr. Horowitz writes “Big Agenda” in short, concise, easy to understand chapters. In the introduction Horowitz writes, “This book is a guide to fighting the opponents of the conservative restoration. It identifies who the adversaries are, their methods, and their motivations. It describes their agenda - not merely the particular issues with which they advance their goal, but the destructive goal itself. And it lays out a strategy that can defeat them.” He proceeds to brilliantly present this “guide” by dividing the book into three parts, “The Adversary”, The Agenda and The Strategy. In Chapter 1 of, “The Adversary”, Mr. Horowitz presents an objective assessment of the current situation of the country after eight years of liberal leadership. Chapter 2 looks at the divisions on the right. And in chapter 3 titled, “The Roots of Executive Tyranny” he goes into the history of how we got where we are.

Does that sound like identifying and saying “radical Islamic terrorism? Mr. Horowitz explains, “Progressives dream of a world of political correctness and politically enforced equality, where everybody is taken care of by taxing the rich until there are no more rich, universities and schools admit no ideas that are hurtful or offending, environments have no pollution, countries have no borders, and nations have no armies. Progressives are so enthralled by their dreams of heaven on earth that they see those who oppose their dreams as evil, which is why they hate them.” He goes on to say, “Progressives are social redeemers. They see themselves as saving the vulnerable and saving the planet.” I never heard it put quite so succinctly, but it makes sense. He talks about progressive’s belief that the ends justify the means (one of Saul Alinsky’s rule for radicals I believe) and that whatever it takes to reach your goal, moral or immoral, legal or illegal, truth or lying is OK as long and the desired end is reached.

Under Obamacare, “the government, and more than likely a single government agency, would eventually have access to the health care and financial information that every American - all 330 million - and would also control their ability to gain life-extending drugs and medical treatments should they need them. “Death Panels” are an inevitable element of any government healthcare monopoly, which inevitably requires a rationing of services. It means that unscrupulous government bureaucrats would have vital information about any individual to use as blackmail against political opponents. This is the basis not only for a socialist state but for a totalitarian one in which every individual is at the mercy of the rulers.” “That a totalitarian infrastructure, in which the life of every individual comes under government scrutiny and control should be the endpoint of the progressive schemes should surprise no one. Ever-expanding control of the individual and “the private sector” is integral to the Democratic Party's agenda to create a progressive future and remold the people who inhabit it.” In Chapter 2, titled, “The Environment,” Mr. Horowitz makes the point I have made in previous book reviews; that all of this environmental panic and climate change hype is, as Horowitz puts it, “A pretext for government control.” Mr. Horowitz states, “The Obama administration's implementation of its environmental agenda, which (Hillary) Clinton promised in her campaign to expand. “Without congressional authorization,” write Yuval Levine and Ramesh Ponneru, “the administration has used the Environmental Protection Agency, the supposedly independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and other agencies to pressure energy producers, the auto industry, power utilities, and others to toe the president's preferred line. In one particularly egregious instance, the EPA moved in 2014 to require the states to regulate electricity production and consumption to meet a set of arbitrary carbon dioxide-emission targets-under threat of restricting their resident’s access to electricity. The environment provides the perfect pretext for the progressive in Washington to expand their control over the lives of Americans, whom they obviously regard as subjects rather than citizens.” In Chapter 3 titled “The Myth of Systemic Racism,” Mr. Horowitz explains that, “the 2016 Democratic Party platform states, “We will push for societal transformation” and that this should be, “a warning that progressives are serious when it comes to revolutionary change.” He goes on to explain that this began with Woodrow Wilson, and how progressives are not happy categorizing Americans in one group called “Americans;” progressives, “have assigned American Citizens to categories; “disadvantaged,” “oppressed,” “under-represented” groups and provide them with privileges based on race, gender, and ethnicity.” This he calls “identity politics” and that, “by empowering groups instead of individuals (progressives) are in fact, antithetical to the principles of the American founding, which proclaim that individuals - regardless of what groups that belong to - have God-given rights that are inalienable and that government cannot subordinate or take away.” While the 2016 Democratic Party platform promises that “Democrats will fight to end institutional and systemic racism in our society,” Mr. Horowitz explains that, “institutional or systemic racism has been illegal in America for 50 years.” This is a created problem for progressive big government to solve and that, “this “prejudice,” however, “is a progressive myth.” He demonstrates that, “there is no systemic racism in America's institutions, and if there is, it is already a legal and easily remedied.” And that, “It is no coincidence that the cultural dominance of the left, and eight years of the Obama Administration has divided the nation along racial lines to a degree not seen for generations.” In Chapter 4 Mr. Horowitz gets into globalism and radical Islam, the title of the chapter and opens with the statement: “The Erasure of the American Republic is the core agenda of the Democrat Party.” He goes on to support that statement by partially explaining the Democrat’s love for greeting immigrants with open arms even though some of them intend to exploit and kill American citizens by saying, “The dream of open borders captures the contempt with which Progressive regard America’s sovereignty and the hard-won achievements of its people.” I say partially explain because another reason is Democrats view immigrants as potential Democratic voters. Mr. Horowitz discusses Sanctuary Cities and refers to them as a “particularly aggressive instance the left’s anti-American agenda.” He say that, “Behind the movement to create Sanctuary Cities were two radical organizations – the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights.” He reproduces their resolution the Sanctuary Cities entered into and says that, “The resolutions – really acts of sedition – were passed by their Democratic allies, turning them into Sanctuary Cities.” Mr. Horowitz writes, “America is the target of a religious War. Consequently such a ban places serious obstacles in the way of officials attempting to assess threats and prevent them before they happen.” In Part III, “The Strategy,” Mr. Horowitz gets into the real meat of his book. I couldn’t wait to get to this part. Chapter 1 is titled, “The Goal and the Path” and Mr. Horowitz explains the goal and the path in one paragraph, “The goal is to put Democrats on the defensive. This can only be accomplished by taking away their moral high ground - their claim to represent the so-called 99 percent against the 1percent. The strategy is to expose their hypocrisy and turn their firepower against them - to focus on the races, genders, ethnicities, and classes who suffer because of their policies under their rule. The strategy is to go for the jugular.” And that’s the chapter, but it is a segue into his point in the next chapter that, “The progressive vision of American society as a hierarchy of races, genders, and classes is delusional and destructive, but it has been the dominant force in America's political culture for more than half a century. It is the creed of America's society-shaping institutions, schools, and the media - and its party line of political correctness is now the conventional wisdom in America's boardrooms and courts.” And “Resistance begins with the will to confront the adversary head-on. That is the attitude that characterized Donald Trump’s campaign from its inception.” This sure sounds like something that the weak-kneed sissy conservatives in Congress are not too likely to cheerfully embrace, and probably aren’t capable of. Mr. Horowitz quotes “Mike Tyson, who summed up this strategy with the following observation: “Everybody has a game plan until you punch them in the mouth.” Mr. Horowitz somewhat humorously again refers to this quotation on page 142, which I'll get to in the review of that chapter. Chapter 3 titled “The Achilles Heel of the Democratic Party interested me because after 75 trips around the sun, I thought I’d never seen the Achilles heel of the Democratic, but this chapter causes some soul-searching and reminds us that things that go on every day in the inter-cities are rarely ever seen by people outside of them. Mr. Horowitz begins with a strong statement: “Progresses are willing to lie, defame, and destroy for their cause because they are imbued with the idea that what they are doing is noble. They see themselves as champions of the powerless, voices of the voiceless, and defenders of the under-represented, the downtrodden, and the “people of color” who are everywhere oppressed. They are intoxicated with their own virtue, which is why no crime they commit or deception they practice can shame them or cause them to break with their own ranks.” He says that “The only way to bring Democrats down to earth, where they might feel subject to the same standards as everyone else, is to attack them with the same moral force they use to prosecute their mission; the only way to do it is to turn their fire on them.” “To do this the Republicans need to direct their arrows at the Achilles’ heel of the Democratic Party: its Monopoly control of the inner cities of America and its responsibility for the misery and suffering inside them. This control stretches over a period of 50 to 100 years in major cities like Chicago, Detroit. Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Washington, DC, and many others. These are the centers of America's worst poverty, highest crime rates, failing schools, and general hopelessness. They have been in the hands of Democrats and under their rule for as long as most of the people who inhabit them have been alive. Everything that is wrong with the inner cities of America that policy can affect, Democrats are responsible for: every killing field; every school that year in and year out fails to teach its children the basic skills they need to get ahead; every school that fails to graduate 30 to 40 percent of his charges while those who do get degrees are often functionally illiterate; every welfare system that promotes dependency, condemning it's recipients to lifetimes of this destitution; every gun-control law that disarms law-abiding citizens and high crime rate areas and leaves them defenseless against predators; every catch-and-release policy that puts of violent criminals back on the streets; every regulation that ties the hands of the police; every material moral support provided to anti-police agitators like Black Lives Matter, who incite violence against the only protection inter-city families have; every onerous regulation and corporate tax that drives businesses and jobs out of inter-city neighborhoods; every rhetorical assault that tars Democrats’ opponents as “racists” and “race traitors” perpetuating a one-party system that denies inter-city inhabitants the leverage and influence of a two-party system.” “The war of the Democrats have declared on America’s social contract is a war on individual rights and individual accountability, which are the bedrock of American’s constitutional system. This is a flight for American freedom - the soul of what this country stands for and the foundations of all its success.” Mr. Horowitz points out in Chapter 4, “The Democrats Wars on Men and Women,” that, “Whatever page one turns to in the Democratic playbook, one is reminded that Democrats regard politics as war by other means. In war there are no rules, and Democrats have shown over and over that they are prepared to conduct that war with all the ruthlessness that they can muster.” “The strategy is to put Democrats on the defensive by taking away their moral high ground. The strategy is to focus on groups, races, genders, authenticities, and classes - that suffer under their policies and rule. The goal is to expose their hypocrisy by posing as champions of the voiceless, the powerless, and the oppressed.” Chapter 5 is with regard to obstructionism by the Democrats and Mr. Horowitz says it is a good thing if policy (liberal) policies are bad. Ending leftist indoctrination in our schools is the subject of Chapter 5 and Mr. Horowitz’s point is that “The societal transformation that progressives hope to engineer begins in our universities and schools. No institution has been more instrumental and laying the groundwork for this transformation, and training is its agents, than the American university. For nearly half a century leftists have been working to turn liberal arts colleges into indoctrination and recruitment centers for left-wing causes. And they have succeeded.” “To say that our universities now engage in systematic miseducation and indoctrination would be an understatement.” “The transformation of the academic curriculum into indoctrination program for the political left has been made possible by a steady purge of Republicans from academic faculties over the last 50 years.” And he says that “Any effort to stop the left’s plan for society transformation must begin with measures to restore universities to the institution they once were - to see to it that liberal arts faculties adhere to the same nonideological (sic) standards as the sciences and that faculties once again feature diverse political perspectives that reflect the diversity of society at large.” “As of 2014, Republicans controlled 68 out of 98 partisan state legislature chambers - the highest number in the history of the party. In other words, Republicans control the purse strings that can be used to restrain the progressive juggernaut. Why should half the country fund institutions that regard them as racist, sexist, homophobes, Islamophobes, xenophobes - in a word deplorables”? Republicans should use their leverage to represent the half of the population that academic ideologues would have put it into the basket of deplorables and restore intellectual diversity to institutions that have become one-party states. Republicans should use their leverage to restore academic standards and democratic values to the most important institutions shaping America's future.” Mr. Horowitz’s message is that Republicans must fight dirty politics with dirtier politics, fight dirty lies with dirtier truths about the liberal opponent. Chapter 7 is an eye opener as Mr. Horowitz tells us where the bulk of the money comes from, other than George Soros, to fund all of left-wing organizations of which the left-wing Ford Foundation is the largest. Surprise! Your tax dollar, and it’s about $249 to every progressive organization for every $1 to conservative organizations, and to make matter worse, most of these organizations are tax exempt. Mr. Horwitz says, “Instead of planning their heads in the sand, as they have for decades, Republican should be demanding revisions to the tax code and redefining charities to be institutions like hospitals and adoption services that exist for the benefit of everyone and not just political fractions. Nonprofits concerned with policy or political issues should not be getting subset subsidies from the taxpayers; truly charitable institutions should.” It turns out that, “government unions are the most important funding base of the Democratic Party and provide the lion's share of its troops” and Mr. Horowitz discloses the details in Chapter 8, where he says, “government unions (are) a conflict of interest that needs to be ended.” “The ability of government unions to act politically represents an unacceptable conflict of interest. Government unions can raise slush funds for candidates and elect those who promised to raise their member’s wages and provide them with lucrative benefit packages paid by taxpayers.” And, “Today's unions are run almost exclusively by left-wing radicals, socialists, and communists.” Chapter 9 is titled “Corruption and Cowardice and pretty much covered stuff in other books I’ve read on Clinton corruption like “Clinton Cash,” but I did learn something that I must have missed elsewhere about Huma Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood. Mr. Horowitz asks, to “Consider the case of Hillary Clinton's right-hand aide Huma Abedin. Abedin (a Muslim) was hired by Hillary from a previous job working for an organization run by the Muslim World League the creator of al-Qaeda. Her boss Abdullah Omar Nasseef, was Secretary General of the league, and it is wanted by authorities in connection with the 9-11 attacks. Abedin's mother and brother are leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood as was her late father. She herself was a board member of the Muslim Student Association a Muslim Brotherhood front group.” Horowitz – “A reasonable question would be, did Huma Abedin, Hillary's Deputy Chief of Staff at the State Department influence America's tilt toward the Muslim Brotherhood during these turbulent events (America helping he Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt and opposing the al-Sisi regime) that affected American policy and eroded America's power in the Middle East? Congressman Michele Bachmann and four other House Republicans actually signed a letter to the Inspector General asking a series of questions to that effect, suggesting an inquiry was an order.” “Note that only five Republicans out of more than 200 Republican house members were even willing to ask such questions. The reason became quickly obvious, as the letter was denounced by liberal media as a witch-hunt, and the signers were attack with fellow Republicans, including Speaker of the House John Boehner, who said, “I don't know Huma, but from everything I do know she has a sterling character. And I think the accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Aberdeen's collusion in the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and violations of the Espionage Act do not indicate a “sterling character” and seem potentially far more dangerous than asking questions.” And we expect our Republican wimps in the House or Representatives to fight back, much less fight dirty? Yea right! Good luck with that. Chapter 11 urges Republicans to” go on the attack and stay on it.” “Reckless trade deals (have) sent Americans to the back of the bus and squandered the prosperity they had created over generations.” “Donald Trump's bluntness in confronting the corruption of both parties for participating in a rigged system that left their constituents out in the cold.” Mr. Horowitz suggests that, “To stop the Democrats and their societal transformation, Republicans must adhere to a strategy that begins with a punch in the mouth. (Thank you Mike Tyson) That punch must pack an emotional wallop large enough to throw them off balance and neutralizer assaults. It must be framed as a moral indictment that stigmatizes them in the way their attacks stigmatize Republicans. It must expose them for their hypocrisy. It must hold them accountable for the divisions they sow and the suffering they caused. Republicans need to turn the Democrat’s guns around and fight fire with fire.” My guess is it won’t happen unless Donald Trump leads the charge then maybe a few of the non-wimps will follow. Chapters 12 and 13 sums it up. “Republicans must drop their attitude if these political conflicts are “business as usual” and must begin to confront the fact that the progressive agenda is a dagger aimed at the heart of America social contract in the security of the American people.” “The new Republicanism must be a movement opposed to the progressives’ sell out of American sovereignty, of Americans historical uniqueness. It must be an unapologetic in its patriotism and in its commitment to rebuilding America economically and militarily. Third, the new Republicanism must show is contempt for political correctness that denies the virtues of America’s culture, which is founded on individual rights and equality before the law. It must oppose progressive “multiculturalism,” which seeks to replace this culture with an anti-American hierarchies of gender, class, and race.” “If this election season did nothing else it serves a dramatize Trump's claim that the system is rigged and the level of unchecked corruption is greater than anyone thought.” This is a very powerful book that puts political correctness in the trash can, calls progressives what they are in the no holds barred, in your face way they typically do to conservatives. Mr. Horowitz puts the shoe on the other foot for a change, so watch the progressives cry foul. The challenges President Trump faces with progressives in education, “charitable” left-wing political tax exempt organizations, government unions, corruption in government, the progress civil service moles deeply embedded in government and on and on and or are daunting seem almost insurmountable. He must really clean house and fire like Regan did with the Air Traffic Controllers, and we need to elect more representatives like him, businessmen not politicians. God help America if we don’t succeed.

Horowitz's "Big Agenda" is excellent writing by an author at the peak of his powers
David Horowitz gets it exactly right. A very well written book. Easy to read, clear and hardly an extra word. The book seems simple, like it was written at the junior high school level, but it only seems that way because Horowitz is such a master of his subject. Really, the content is at the highest level of the most current events with lots of detail. Every assertion is backed up by references which the reader can look up. The author's tone is calm and businesslike. No extreme statements, just all matter-of-fact delivery of train-loads of information and solutions. Truly excellent writing (and/or maybe the author has an excellent editor). I could not write the most commonplace piece, such as a cooking recipe, with such clarity and flow. I write quite a lot professionally, and I am nowhere near as good. Students should get and read this book just to learn how to write book reports and term papers. Horowitz's content is stunning. The left-liberal movement is shown to be as faulty and deceptive as many of us have been guessing for years. Thing is, Horowitz hardly makes any assertions (theses) or arguments. The facts are so clearly laid out that the thesis is self-evident, and when Horowitz finishes a section with something like "this means X", the conclusion is indisputable, and no argument is needed. Quite remarkable. Horowitz gives very concrete prescriptions for change. Many of them, quite specific. This is not merely an exposé but a solution to the present political quagmire in the U.S. Foreign readers will probably find many applicable points. I also think that Horowitz's solutions will be valid for many years or even decades. After all, the left has been up to the same game since about, oh, 1849 I'd say.

What matters from this point forward is not what we say but what we do. We must rise up and confront those who no longer believe in America as the exceptional bastion of freedom that it is. Along with Reagan, we must fight to defend liberty in order to bequeath it to the next generation. Let it not be said we shrank from the great calling of our times: to faithfully defend the “last best hope” of freedom that is the United States.
From the book.... Trump is actually the first Republican to speak to all Americans: to the Evangelical and LGBTQ communities; to blacks and whites; to Democrats, Bernie Sanders supporters, and Republicans. While the political battle we face is divisive, it is a battle based not on immutable characteristics like race and gender, not on identity, but on ideas, and specifically the ideas of America’s founding fathers and against the progressive assault on those ideas. Taking political agendas out of America’s classrooms must become a priority. It is unconscionable that K–12 children should be indoctrinated—at taxpayers’ expense—in the anti-American prejudices of the political left. “School Choice and Education Opportunity Act,” which would redirect education dollars and give to parents “the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice.”2 The US Department of Education should be restructured to administer the vouchers and its other powers removed. These measures will take the power away from bureaucrats at the federal and local levels and put it in the hands of the people. The movement galvanized by Trump can stop the progressive juggernaut and change the American future, but only if it emulates the strategy of his campaign: Be on offense; take no prisoners; stay on the attack. To stop the Democrats and their societal transformation, Republicans must adhere to a strategy that begins with a punch in the mouth. That punch must pack an emotional wallop large enough to throw them off balance and neutralize their assaults. It must be framed as a moral indictment that stigmatizes them in the way their attacks stigmatize Republicans. It must expose them for their hypocrisy. It must hold them accountable for the divisions they sow and the suffering they cause. Loved reading this book, great cross reference on facts, he points out failures of both parties, offers ideas and solutions and raises questions about our corrupt government. I definitely recommend reading this book for everyone!

This book was EXCELLENT. What an eye opener to how the Democrats have started out since day one to destroy America. Hopefully more Republicans will read this along with EVERYONE ELSE and OPEN THEIR EYES to what PRESIDENT TRUMP saw and sees and is "trying" to change. GET BEHIND HIM, PEOPLE and support his strategies. We all need to behind him to make change and truly MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! RECOMMENDED READING FOR ALL!!!

A book to read that will open the mind to the true state of affairs in our "government of the people, by the people, for the people" countries. What has happened how it happened what to do to. A revolutionary treatise that will empower all people who think. Not the story that the media tell us, but the truth.

Mahomet a toujours été un individu présentant de multiples troubles psychiques. Dans un acte d’accusation de plus de 300 pages, soit la forme qu’il a tenu à donner à son dernier et excellent ouvrage, Sheindlin auteur-procureur soumet cet acte au jury des lecteurs. Il laisse chaque lecteur décider, en connaissance de cause et impartialement, si Mahomet était un dément irresponsable, un innocent ou un coupable méritant une condamnation. Rappelez-vous le procès de Nuremberg, Hitler, son complexe du messie et ses fervents disciples sur le banc des accusés. L’assimilation du musulman dans nos sociétés occidentales est-elle possible ? Après avoir lu ce livre, je répond NON, parce que depuis 630 après Jésus-Christ, l’histoire n’a aucun souvenir d’une assimilation réussie, voir même seulement d’une intégration, de musulmans pratiquants et de l’islam-idéologie au sein de sociétés non-musulmanes. S’imaginer que nous puissions intégrer pacifiquement dans une société occidentale démocratique puis assimiler une vaste communauté musulmane, extra-européenne de surcroit, qui reste fidèle à son monothéisme théocratique et qui refuse de séparer le pouvoir politique de son « religieux » s‘est révélé une grande et catastrophique illusion. Vu que nos sociétés libres et occidentales sont fondées sur la démocratie donc sur la souveraineté du peuple alors que l’islam se fonde sur la souveraineté d’Allah et de Mahomet et exige d’appliquer cette toute-puissance en Occident, le conflit est inévitable. Il me faut écrire une revue de ce livre pour que les francophones le lisent.
