Download Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism from Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond AudioBook Free

Why the proper Went Wrong offers a historical view of the right since the 1960s. Its key contention is the fact that American conservatism and the Republican Party took a wrong switch when they implemented Barry Goldwater's worldview during and after the 1964 marketing campaign. Since 1968, no traditional administration could surpass the rhetoric rooted in the Goldwater movement that began to reshape American politics 50 years ago. The collapse of the Nixon presidency led to the surge of Ronald Reagan, the defeat of George H. W. Bush, and Newt Gingrich's revolution. Bush at first undertook a partial modernization, preaching "compassionate conservatism". Conservatives quickly described him as an advocate of "big administration" rather than traditional enough on spending, immigration, education, and Medicare. A go back to the true faith was the only prescription on order. The effect was the Tea Party. The talk about of the Republican Party, manipulated by the strictest bottom part, is reduced, E. J. Dionne, Jr. writes. It has become white and elderly in a country that is no more that. It needs another to life because of its own health and that of the country, and in Why the proper Went Wrong, he points out how.
