Once upon a time, conservatives were called the “silent majority.” No more. The ascent of Talk Radio and rise of “fair and balanced” television and print reporting has at long last unleashed a flurry of conservative activism through the media aimed at recapturing the heart and soul of the country.

Who better to help spearhead this noble cause than Phil Kent, former president of Southeastern Legal Foundation and a new and rising crusader in the struggle against the corrupting and demoralizing influences of liberalism?

“Hillary Clinton described the conservative movement in America as a vast, right-wing conspiracy,” Kent argues. “I prefer to call it a conspiracy of freedom.”

The Dark Side of Liberalism: Unchaining the Truth lays bare the falsehoods and
distorted messages of liberalism and exposes it for what it is—an outdated, negative, anti-American gospel that mockingly undermines the values that made this country great. Packed with passion and commonsense ideas, The Dark Side of Liberalism offers a fresh look at America’s big ticket issues—race relations, political correctness, immigration, Hollywood, the media, the United Nations, the runaway court system, the war on terror, and Big Government’s role in our lives.

A “call to arms” for commonsense Americans, The Dark Side of Liberalism is a must-read user’s guide for arguing and winning the conservative cause for freedom. As a bonus, the book offers a number of clear and compelling tips on how conservatives can best get their message out in the media to sway others--something lacking in most “conservative” books.

“It is time for all Americans to step up to the plate,” Kent notes. “The fate of our civilization, our way of life, hangs in the balance.”

The Dark Side reveals:

*Why liberals hate America – and fan racial “victimization”
*Why liberals despise heroes—and excuse criminals
* Why the author pulls no punches on radical environmental shakedowns
*Why Martha Burk barks: an inside look at the Augusta National and Burk’s crusade against men
*How liberals have ruined our educational system: stark admissions from a young, burned-out public schoolteacher
*What “Religion of Peace?” The untold truth about fanatic followers of Islam
*What George W. Bush revealed to the author about immigration and bilingualism
*Why tort reform is needed
*What really happened at Strom Thurmond’s infamous birthday party
*How the “poor” steal billions from your pocketbooks each year
*What conservative activists need to help win the “cultural war”

Endorsements:

“We are reminded that conservative values can carry the day, whether in the courts of law or the court of public opinion. The Dark Side of Liberalism powerfully reveals the truth behind the beguiling facade of liberalism’s world view.”
--Kenneth Starr, Former Independent Counsel

“Three cheers for the truth! The Dark Side of Liberalism speaks the truth—facts over propaganda, permanent values over situational ethics—and does so by relating today’s issue debates to the standards of the Constitution.”
--Edwin Meese III, former Attorney General

“This book gives courage to Americans who refuse to accept liberal spin on today’s major issues. Phil Kent has given conservatives a blueprint for success in the public marketplace of ideas.”
--Congressman Bob Barr, Clinton impeachment manager

“Takes the fight to the enemy--and does so in a way that reminds many Americans that they agree with conservatives more often than not. That’s the way and the strength of Phil Kent.”
--Pat Buchanen, former presidential candidate

"I often disagree with Phil Kent, but we both agree to be feisty in the public arena when it comes to getting the hay down so the cattle can get at it. The Dark Side of Liberalism does just that. It makes you think."
--Sen. Zell Miller
