The John Wayne Code: An American Conservative Manifesto (Volume 2) [Paperback]

Michael Turback (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 27, 2008

Updated and revised, this edition of THE JOHN WAYNE CODE presents a post-Bush perspective of Conservatism, contrasting wisdom and grit from an icon of the Old Right with a movement that's lost its soul. It's not an exaggeration to say that the modern Conservative movement in this country is dominated by propagandists and charlatans, people without intellectual integrity. Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have led the base astray. While they have been entrusted to lead the Republican flock, they've led much of it far away from anything that resembles its core values. It will take John Wayne, an Elder of the Republican village, to put Republicans back in the saddle again. "Words are loaded pistols," wrote Jean-Paul Sartre. John Wayne's words were as powerful as the six-guns he wore on his hips. THE JOHN WAYNE CODE is a must-read for every Republican and a valuable reference regardless of the reader's political ideology.
