Non-Fiction Political
One of the nation's most influential political strategists
provides a daring manifesto and vision for conservatives. The modern Republican party is a coalition of groups and
tendencies created during the political life of Ronald
Reagan, based on principle rather than region and history.
The new political movement that now controls much of the
Republican party is one of Americans who simply wish to be
left alone by the government. They are not asking the
government for others' money, time, or attention. Rather,
they want to be free to own a gun, homeschool their
children, pray, invest their money, and control their own
destiny. They are the Leave Us Alone coalition, at the heart of the
center-right, and Grover Norquist argues that it will grow
in power and size during the next generation. Directly
opposed to this coalition is the descriptively titled
Takings Coalition, which is at the heart of the
tax-and-spend left, and they will battle for control of
America's future over the next fifty years. It is
increasingly important to better understand these coalitions
than it is the Republican or Democratic parties themselves. In a compelling and powerful narrative, Norquist describes
the two competing coalitions in American politics, how they
are organized, what makes them stronger or weaker. What each
can achieve and what they cannot do. And how you may fit
into the contest as well as gain a deeper understanding of
American politics—where it's been, where it is and
particularly where it will go—through a series of
eye-opening economic, demographic, and political trends that
will shape these coalitions in the years to come. Required reading for any conservative who wants a deeper
understanding of politics in America today, Leave Us Alone
shows the order of battle for the next generation.
