The Radical Mind: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left

by David Horowitz

Overview

“A harrowing journey through the corridors of the twenty-first century totalitarianism that goes by the name of progressivism. Must read!”

— DINESH D’SOUZA

“David Horowitz is a modern legend. This book is critical to understanding the left and how we defeat them.”

— CHARLIE KIRK

AMERICA IS HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS

THE RADICAL MIND is both a stark warning and call to arms to protect the country from decline, ruin, and disgrace. It identifies the crisis facing the nation as a crisis of faith — faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in individual freedom and accountability, faith in the principle of equality before the law. At stake? Nothing less than the American way of life and the liberty and freedoms all Americans enjoy.

In his latest broadside against the radical left, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz pulls back the curtain of secrecy and lies and exposes the dangerous methods and agendas of a woke left mob, and identifies what a decent society needs to do to keep the country from slipping away, including:

• Defend families against the intrusion of outside  forces, ideological and governmental, which  seek to capture the hearts and minds of children to serve their destructive agendas.

• Stop radicals from debasing Judeo-Christian values and silencing Christian communities and voices in favor of political state control.

• Reject progressive blindness, including false racist narratives that America is a racist country. 

• Challenge the existential threat to American  democracy from a Democratic Party that has  made dialogue, compromise, and bipartisanship  impossible and uses a corrupt and compliant media to unleash a constant tsunami of hate toward conservatives and ordinary Americans alike.

• Renew faith in the Constitution and in individual freedom.

Read THE RADICAL MIND and join the fight against the destructive plans of the woke left: 

“The hour is late, and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, reacquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful, and the haters of human diversity who have malice in their hearts.”

About the Author

DAVID HOROWITZ is a noted conservative thinker, writer and commentator and the Founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles, CA, whose mission is “to defend free societies which are under attack from enemies within and without, both secular and religious;” and further, to defend the principles of individual freedom, the rule of law, private property, limited government and to reestablish academic freedom in American schools. The Freedom Center publishes the online news magazine FrontPageMag.com, where Horowitz serves as Editor-in-Chief.

David Horowitz grew up a "red diaper baby" in a communist community in Sunnyside, Queens, and was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts; but forced to confront some difficult truths about the political left, Horowitz ultimately found a political and intellectual home as a conservative activist. 

Cultural critic Camille Paglia has said of David Horowitz: "I respect the astute and rigorously unsentimental David Horowitz as one of America's most original and courageous political analysts. . . I think that, a century from now, cultural historians will find David Horowitz's spiritual and political odyssey paradigmatic for our time." 

Norman Podhoretz, former editor of Commentary magazine, says of Horowitz: "David Horowitz is hated by the Left because he is not only an apostate but has been even more relentless and aggressive in attacking his former political allies than some of us who preceded him in what I once called 'breaking ranks' with that world. He has also taken the polemical and organizational techniques he learned in his days on the left and figured out how to use them against the Left, whose vulnerabilities he knows in his bones."

 

Horowitz has written well over a dozen books, including The New York Times Bestsellers Blitz: Trump will Smash the Left and Win, and Big Agenda: Trump’s Real Plan to Save America, as well as Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, Unholy Alliance, The Black Book of The American Left, Take No Prisoners, Progressive Racism, The Professors and his celebrated memoirs Morality & Faith and Radical Son.

EXCERPT 

Coda: Defense of the Republic from THE RADICAL MIND: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left by David Horowitz

The present battle for America’s soul will take generations to resolve. It is a battle that pits America’s defenders - believers in ordered liberty - against believers in the unlimited power and authority of the state. In the conflicts that ensue, the two institutions that will lead the defense of America’s constitutional order are the American family, and members – or respecters – of Judeo-Christian religions.

Already the revolt against the progressive assault in the schools is being led by parents outraged by the efforts of teacher unions to come between them and their children, to enlist the defenseless innocent in racist attacks on their country and its freedoms, and to inflict on them life-altering drugs and ungrounded attitudes about “gender fluidity” and transgenderism, as part of their plan to “change the world.”

The family, for better or worse, is the shaper of values and the first defender of individual freedoms against the intrusions of the state. The health of society rises and falls with the health and strength of the family and its bonds. A decent society will be one that defends families against the intrusion of outside forces, ideological and governmental which seek to capture its children to serve their destructive agendas.

The second institutional pillar of the nation’s defense is religion – specifically the principles embraced, and the communities formed by members of Judeo-Christian religions. One doesn’t have to be a believer in divine origins, or trust in a divine destiny, to appreciate the fact that America’s constitutional order was the creation of believing Christians, whose vision was shaped by the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation.

American freedoms and America’s revolutionary ideal of equality can all be traced to the Christian values associated with Martin Luther and his disciples. Thomas Jefferson did not believe in the divinity of Christ, but he did rely on his biblical faith and what it taught him about human nature and human behavior, which led him to champion these values.

Every freedom enjoyed by Americans is a gift of the faith that they were bestowed not by a government of men, but by a divinity. Therefore there is no human authority that can take them away. They are unalienable.

Radicals hate the religious community because religious communities are based on allegiance to a higher power and moral authority than the political state. They are the defenders of the private sphere, of the freedom of conscience and its expression, which is the basis of all the freedoms we have.

The hour is late and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, re-acquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful and the haters of human diversity with malice in their hearts.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for THE FINAL BATTLE: THE NEXT ELECTION COULD BE THE LAST by David Horowitz:

“With his trademark incisiveness and clarity, David Horowitz exposes the outrages perpetrated by the Biden Administration and the Democratic Left, which are maddening in themselves but are made all the more chilling because they seem to be part of a project to establish a one-party socialist state in America. We cannot let this happen!” — Dinesh D’Souza, New York Times bestselling author and filmmaker

 

“It is one of the many credits of David Horowitz’s powerful book that after reading it, one no longer regards the subtitle as hyperbole. That is how perilous the times are in which we Americans live. And no one spells out these perils more clearly than David Horowitz. FINAL BATTLE may be the most devastating book length indictment of the Democratic Party yet written. The book is so important, many parts of it are worth committing to memory. This is nothing less than a handbook for the salvation of the United States of America.” — Dennis Prager, Nationally Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host, Co-Founder of PragerU, and bestselling author of The Rational Bible

“Factually rigorous and meticulously documented FINAL BATTLE is the most devastating indictment of the Democrat Party that has yet appeared, and an ominous warning about what the future may hold if the present course is not reversed. Don’t miss it.”  — Peter Schweizer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of RED-HANDED

“I could not be a bigger fan…David Horowitz has been telling the truth for decades, in a way that almost nobody else has been willing to.” — Pete Hegseth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of BATTLE FOR THE AMERICAN MIND

Praise for New York Times bestselling BIG AGENDA: President Trump's Plan to Save America by David Horowitz:

"Provides a clear assessment of the challenges the new president faces and a road map for a winning agenda." — Rush Limbaugh, host of The Rush Limbaugh Show (America's Anchorman) & recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom

"With trademark candor, Horowitz lays out a Trump agenda for restoring the country and sinking the ship of the left once and for all." — Dinesh D’Souza, New York Times Bestselling author of Hillary's America 

"Progressives have declared war on America and Donald Trump. Every conservative should arm themselves with this brilliant battle plan for beating them back and winning the war." — Ann Coulter, New York Times Bestselling author of Adios, America

"A compelling road map for Donald Trump — a must read for everyone concerned about the future of America." — Peter Schweizer, New York Times Bestselling author of Clinton Cash

"Trump was vilified like no other presidential candidate in history, yet he still defeated the Democrats… All Republicans should read it for the battle-cry it represents. High school and college students should also study it to understand both sides of the two political ideologues." — HuffPost

Praise for bestselling DARK AGENDA: The War to Destroy Christian America by David Horowitz

"The Best Book on Politics for Christians in 2019." — The Stream.org

"Read this disturbing but vital book." — Tucker Carlson, TV Host of Tucker Carlson Tonight 

"Exposes the intolerance of many atheists toward those who believe in God.

"An eye-opening account of the left's sixty-year war against America’s Christian foundations. If you want to understand the political crisis our country is facing, read this book." — Gary Bauer, former Reagan Chief Domestic Policy Adviser, former President of Family Research Council and former President American Values

“David Horowitz understands the attacks on Christianity better than any academic—he has been in the trenches of the Left and knows exactly what makes them tick. His keen eye, sharpened by his experiences, offers the reader a magnifying glass to see how and why these assaults are so vicious and so relentless. Thank God we have him on our side." — Bill Donohoe, President of Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights 

"If you want to understand the Leftist, secularist war against Christianity and our First Amendment freedoms, you must read Dark Agenda. It will make you think, it will make you pray, and it will motivate you to action.” — Michael Youssef PhD, is the Founder and President of Leading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef and author of The Third Jihad

"In Dark Agenda, Horowitz exposes the sloppy logic elitist bullies and leftist cranks employed to impose their eccentric agendas on America." — John Zmirak, Senior Editor of The Stream

Praise for New York Times bestselling BLITZ: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win by David Horowitz

"'BLITZ, Trump Will Smash the Left and Win', by David Horowitz. Amazon #1 Bestseller. Hot book, great author!" — President Donald J. Trump

“BLITZ... it’s already a New York Times bestseller. [It] must kill the New York Times that this book is a bestseller. You should read this book!” — Mayor Rudy Giuliani

“We love David Horowitz. He’s a former New York liberal raised by communist parents, saw the light one day, and has become one of us — and he’s got a new book called BLITZ: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win. He thinks Trump is gonna win in a landslide in November, and he gives reasons why in the book, and he says Republicans are gonna be singing “Happy Days Are Here Again” once November comes and the election is over and the votes are counted.” — Rush Limbaugh

"He is one of the bravest guys. He found the real intent [of the Left] was to control America. He has never, ever sat down. A true national treasure.” — Glenn Beck

“David Horowitz is one of the boldest and most brilliant thinkers and writers of our time. His latest blockbuster BLITZ spells out why Trump will be reelected and how it will put the left in a deep sink hole of their own making. A must read for those who want to better understand what is really happening in the ‘idea war’ for the soul of America.” — Governor Mike Huckabee

“David Horowitz has written an indispensable book —BLITZ—explaining why today’s Democrats are so dangerous and why President Trump is their nemesis.” — Mark R. Levin, New York Times bestselling author of Unfreedom of the Press

“David Horowitz has been at the center of our national conversations about politics and culture for more than fifty years. BLITZ is the latest must-read from Horowitz: insightful, hard-hitting, controversial, and uncompromising. Ignore him at your peril.” — Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash and Profiles in Corruption

“This book is not simply a very, very good book. It is a great book. I rarely use that term, and I read a lot of books. This is the book your anti-Trump relatives and friends should read. It is a fact-based, highly-footnoted defense of Donald Trump as President of the United States—and it is as clear a moral indictment of the anti-Trump left as has been written. It also has the virtues of being as clear as water and as readable as a page-turning novel. Finally, it is written by David Horowitz whom I consider a modern-day prophet. Prophets hated evil and told the truth.” — Dennis Prager, President of PragerU and New York Times bestselling author

“David Horowitz is an icon and leader in the conservative movement whose books and writings have shaped conservative policies and thinking for decades. BLITZ: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win provides unparalleled insight into the current political climate and David’s expertise and experience give him a unique understanding of how we got here and what it means for 2020 elections.” — Sean Spicer, Host of Spicer & Co., Newsmax TV

“David Horowitz hits it perfectly in this book. Horowitz understands the left better than anyone else in America. He recognizes their malevolent goals and how to stop them. This is a must read book!” — Charlie Kirk, New York Times bestselling author of The MAGA Doctrine

“The definitive summing-up of Donald Trump’s efforts during the last three years to enact his “big agenda” — and of his enemies’ obsessive campaign to foil those efforts at every turn. More cogently than the work of any other commentator, David Horowitz’s book spells out the nature of Trump’s success as president and explains why his re-election is not just a desideratum but a world-historical necessity.” — American Thinker

“BLITZ is the go-to recap of the first Trump term, from the first days of the so-called “Muslim ban” through a deconstruction of the “partisan impeachment,” as Horowitz labels it. BLITZ is a comprehensive reset at the end of the first Trump term. It is catalog of how we got here and how the Left have lost their minds over President Trump’s new way. Horowitz diagnoses the causes and effect of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  He also documents how Trump has thrived despite the unhinged hatred aimed at him. In BLITZ Horowitz catalogs where we are, and how we got here since election night 2016.  He inventories the fake scandals, the Democrat’s derangement, the sell-out of the American economy to China, and what really motivates Trump. The most fascinating part of BLITZ is Horowitz getting to the essence of what makes Trump unique, effective, and so unfamiliar to the political establishment. BLITZ is a sharp guide to where we are as a nation, and what we face this election. It is a handy inventory of the worst that has happened since election night 2016, and why it is that Trump has survived, all the while remaking the art of American politics. BLITZ leaves readers with the ‘Nine Biggest Dangers to America from the Anti-Trump Left.’” — PJ Media
