The Youth International Party was neither Left in 1968 nor remains today. The Students for a Democratic Society was not "New" in 1968 and is not left today. These plays on words and, in the case of the Yippies, words on play, will be entertained along with an examination of the character of the Old Left, the development of the New Left from Port Huron to the Days of Rage, and the status of the Left in America today.

"Robert J.

Thus, the volume argues that African American cultural production continues to engage in social critique and transformation and remains an important site for the (re)making of black politics"--

Conservative pundit Patterson (USAF, Ret.) lays bare the Left's campaign against their own nation's armed forces, revealing: the roots of liberal enmity toward our military; the five liberal lies about the war on terror; how the mainstream media, Hollywood, and academia perpetuate these myths; how liberal politicians engage in seditious acts for political gain, and what the costs of these acts are; how America can and must defeat the liberal assault on America's ability to defend itself against its enemies. Interviews with hundreds of soldiers, sailors, and airmen--including many on the ground in Iraq--reveal the alarming degree to which their burden is increased by second-guessing, pessimism, and outright revulsion for their mission on the part of the people they are fighting for.--From publisher description
