The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy: The Untold Story of the Democrats' Desperate Fight to Reclaim Power
“We ARE building a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.” With those words, the influential left-wing blogger Daily Kos confirmed the argument of National Review ’s Byron York in this fascinating and meticulously reported book. The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy provides a startling behind-the-scenes look at the well-oiled (and well-funded) political machine built by Democratic operatives, eccentric billionaires, liberal activists, and assorted celebrities. And in this newly updated paperback edition, York exposes how this powerful movement is redoubling its efforts for the 2006 elections, with its eye on the ultimate the White House in 2008. The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy is a stunning look at how the Left is radically remaking the American political scene.

Sometimes dry and technical, other times an interesting, in-depth look.

He mentioned Ann Coulter 4x (therefore, I got my money's worth - library equivalent anyway.)
This liberal Democratic Smackdown was written in 2005 it seems. The U.S. was going through what Canada is putting up with in 2015 - Yes, it generally takes Canada 10 years to catch up with America's debauchery and ungodly rebellion. So this book had some prophetic like abilities. (Almost as insightful as a Family Guy or South Park episode. But don't tell anyone.)
Indeed: Canada is now blessed with a Liberal Premier thanks to millions of Marijuana promised Abortion loving Capitalist haters. (may small businesses indeed grow into huge Superbowl like Shopping extravaganzas.)
Anyway, I'm not much for reading political propaganda - unless it's Ann Coulter and her smarmy humor: She's my hero.
So is the author correct: Is there a vast left wing conspiracy? Back in 2004? Apparently. And guess what: IT WORKED! Obama was the eventual payoff. And this book shows us how to build a campaign that only rebellious children of Right Wing Republic campaigns could appreciate. And surprisingly there was basically no mention of Homosexuality on the media agenda... That NOW seems to be a Rainbow contender for the core foundation of liberal propaganda. Just sprinkle in a few other social issues and SHAZZAM! The liberals are incharge. This book hints at what they'll do once they are incharge...Why they'll hate some more of course - there's always something to hate in the name of tolerance.
It's not that liberals seem to have a few good ideas they are hoping to force on the peasants - they just HATE the other guys ideas. That was the most insightful Point Byron York got across. Horrifyingly, the Left Wing has now discovered those ideas: They are the poor, abused, oppressed, underprivileged, Uneducated...SOMETHING. This they can use to WIN. Win what exactly? Why are people so desperate to be in charge? Sounds like a lot of unthankful work to me. Bryon even shows this a time or two.
"It's about Republicans who liken John Kerry to Hitler," Miller said with clear indignation in his voice. (Perhaps ten minutes had passed since Miller himself had compared Bush's appeal to Hitler's.)
Yes, that is the Ironic comedy of the liberals. We Canadian's have endlessly experienced the same thing. Liberal ads that ought to embarrass any educated citizen with even a basic short-term memory. Political campaigns really just come down to endless attacks on some form of morality and humanistic Utopian dreams.
Which leads me to my biggest insight into Liberal agenda's:
Since liberals are always about being NEW and PROGRESSIVE: At what point do they stop and let society enjoy this achievement? Do they just keep brutally embracing New...? Enforcing New? Demanding New...Is there a day when all is achieved and what was once Liberal is now a healthy Conservative historical foundation? Or must NEW be demanded, once again, by the next generation of rebellion? All that's left is to HATE what once was so endless progression can happen BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES.

This books chats abit about Michael Moore and his Crap Emotional Documentaries. I recall many years ago suffering through the "Bowling For Columbine" hype. Even though I basically had no horse in the race - It wasn't hard to see when liberal propaganda and Moore's personal pet peeves weren't waved in our faces.
Just for comedies sake (which is always somewhat healthy) I would love to remind you of The South Park's creators side project "Team America" and how they portrayed Michael Moore and the Film Actors Guild (FAG). Yes, when all the annoying actors from Hollywood joined forces with North Korea... Hmmm, that might not be far off. But I mostly remember Michael Moore's character mumbling and waving hotdogs around. So funny!
Thankfully this research mentioned a few religious issues.
Disturbingly the author mentioned Al Franken (comically) mentioning John Kerry (exaggeratedly )stating that he would ban the Bible.
Air America's Al Franken said: "It was a mistake when Kerry announced, in the first debate, that he would put U.S. national security in the hands of other countries. And then there was his decision to announce that he would ban the Bible..."
It was funny - but somewhat insightful. Not as horrifying as John Kerry's ACTUAL Biblical theology and general historical understanding of Christianity and Islam. (i'm not sure George Bush was actually much better. But at least he tried.)
----------------
Apparently there's a movie called The Patriot Act? Beats me. Don't care really.
But some Miller guy (movie's creator?) said: "Bush and his fellow theocrats, on the other hand, see their adversaries as demons-"hateful, sex obsessed, unpatriotic demons" who are engaged in all sorts of dark plotting.
Author says (pg. 245): "That idea was at the very heart of Miller's theory. And yet in A Patriot Act, Miller portrayed HIS adversaries as hateful, sex obsessed, unpatriotic demons who are engaged in all sorts of dark plotting. The irony was so obvious..."
What would the world do for entertainment without liberal propaganda and hate?
Finally: A great quote
Podesta (Democratic party) keeps saying, "What's our bumper sticker?" my source said with more than a little frustration in his voice. "The problem is not the bumper sticker. The problem is the car."
Since this book was written before Obama took over the world - I wonder what the author is up to now? Is he still flitting about with political who's WHO'S and observing the truth -- or is he a drunk crying into an empty bottle and musing that the World HAS Gone To Hell? I'll have to go find out. Either way: Time for a NEW election.
For pure entertainment value: I hope Donald Trump Wins...cause there's not much debauchery left for liberal American's to swoon over.

Eh, it was so-so. It probably made more of an impression back in 2005 when it was written than it does now. Moral of the story: liberal democrats are crazy awesome propagandists. My mom has been telling me that for years so it comes as no big surprise. More than anything, this book just served as a reminder that I need to be well-informed and read all the views on political debates and subjects. Or just be ignorant on the subject entirely. ...Which, is bliss, in a way...

I get it; there's too much money in politics on both sides and Soros has a hyper-Libreral agenda along with billions of dollars.
