The vast right wing conspiracy has found its General Patton, and his name is David Kahane. Kahane's pseudonymous, satiric column for National Review Online, lampooning the Left via his Hollywood-radical persona - Stephen Colbert's liberal doppelganger - is must-listening for political aficionados of all stripes.
Now, from the inside, Kahane proudly exposes the secret and not-so-secret winning strategies (and vulnerabilities) of the Left and gives desperate conservatives a roadmap to victory, in a take-no-prisoners manual modeled after Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, Machiavelli's Prince, and, of course, the Chicago Way.

It is exceptionally revealing to read or listen to this book to understand how those on the left of the political spectrum have taken over our institutions, governments and indeed most of the press. While there is too much sarcasm in the book for my taste, it is nevertheless an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of western democracies. I recommend it strongly.

Insightful and Interesting - A Credible Hypothesis Concerning the Destructive Behaviours of the Left
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 7, 2017
If you're a leftist wank, you will hate this book. It is fantastic, historically accurate, easy to understand, and as believable a hypothesis as any to explain irrational, destructive leftist behaviour. Indoctrinated Marxists need not apply.

The most confusing book I ever read, not mentioning the tiresome task of getting to the last page. It took me more than two months to complete, doing so in bed before turning out for the day, my usual relaxed period. I could not withstand reading more than a few pages each evening, trying to wend my way through the childish attempts at humour, to make sense of the contradicting verbiage.
By offering this book as a complement to Alinsky, Amazon did a great disservice to its customers, all readers and mostly to Alinsky himself. The mere mere few mentions of his name is no reason to read this thrash, there is no resemblance in their philosophy. Was Amazon swayed by the dishonest blurbs?
David Kahane should limit himself to writing movie scripts and remain out of politics.

Too clever by half
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2019Verified Purchase
The book rightfully points out that conservatives find themselves in a fight to the death and need to take off the gloves and start socking. However, he makes two mistakes that make the book less effective than it could be. Imitating the Screwtape Letters, he uses a leftist persona as C.S. Lewis used the devil. The author tries to sustain this device longer than Lewis did with less literary ability. At the same time, he constantly faux-proletarian prose style (e.g., "hoosegow" for "jail." This reader skimmed over the parts couched in this arch language and resumed normal reading when the author reverted to normal prose, thereby eliminating annoying surplusage comprising about one quarter of the book.

Kahane nails this.

Fantastic book for every single conservative and libertarian on the planet. Liberal DB's need not apply. This piece is spot on exposing the satanic agenda of liberalism and it's primary advance engine called the democrat party. Humorous and in a slight vein of the Screwtape Letters "Kahane" takes us through an exhaustive history of liberalism by way of the ever present evil of Saul Alinsky. I could not put this book down.

better than Rules for Rradicals by Saul Alinsky!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2015Verified Purchase
Great outline of the process to topple a democracy and turn it into a socialist state, and we're already there!
Hillary Clinton wrote her thesis on Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals', and Obama is a philosophical supplicant to Saul's theories.
Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' starts with, believe it or not, setting up national healthcare, increasing the debt, increasing the racial divide, controlling education, and more.
Sounds like we're already there with a horrible national debt, Obama care, Ferguson, and Common Core and NGSS, not to mention the hold the government will have on what our community colleges will be told to teach when they foot 75% of the bill for free college for the masses, whether they will succeed or not. It's creating more entitlements!

If you are only allowed to read one book this year, make it this one. It really works! Here's an actual Facebook exchange where I use these tactics with a liberal friend...
ORIGINAL SHARED LINK POST BY ME: A new classic! For what it's worth, Obama is definitely a Keynesian, but he's not a Kenyan. [...]
LIBERAL FRIEND: Pretty good, but I like this guy better. The questions are a little deeper. [...]
ME: Yup, this guy at the Restoring Honor rally did ask deeper questions and showed it was a largely partisan rally as well. As with this video, they selectively picked interviewees which weren't the brightest. But that's the point, it's easy to pick people from the other side to support your agenda. From what I saw, these folks couldn't articulate their position well, but their viewpoint is still solid in preserving our country. And as everyone knows, that's better than most of the folks at the Sanity rally who are unwittingly supporting an ideology which will eventually ruin them.
LIBERAL FRIEND: Or save us from the extremists, depending on your perspective. :)
ME: You can't possibly mean that! Extreme in this case is simply a label placed by the minority upon the majority (as today's election will reveal) to discredit and diminish them. A majority view is by definition never extreme.
