Book Description

March 30, 2000
The Machiavellian Way to the Best Possible America

Machiavelli's ghost presents the perfect guide for conservative Republicans. The master begins by revealing the true Republican goal and principles. He then shows the value of lies, distortions, personal attacks and hypocrisy for promoting the conservative agenda.

Learn why compassion demands unemployment; the masses must be kept poorly educated; welfare, Medicare and social security must be abolished.

Learn how to manufacture facts, statistics and quotations; try enemies in the press; distort testimony to create damning evidence; appeal to racial fears and prejudices; always assume the moral high ground.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Eye Opener for the Critical Citizen, December 4, 2000
By 
Tom Allen (Oviedo, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machiavelli's The Republican (Paperback)
Machiavelli's Republican should prove to be an eye opener for any critical citizen. It is an excellent vehicle for stating what many of us have already intuited for years. I would recommend it highly to anyone who is serious about wading through the manufactured morass of "PoliSpeak and PoliDo" that is modern American politics.

Dr. Blue's, through the personna of Machiavelli, depicts the Republican philosophical platform and their methods in a clear and irrefutable form.

What this book is missing is an expanded view of how Machiavellian thinking affects all of American politics and not just the Republican Party form of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conservative Republicans Revealed, September 23, 2000
By 
This review is from: Machiavelli's The Republican (Paperback)
This book is a masterful summation of modern day conservative republican thinking and behavior. Although presented in an unflattering light, Mr. Blue provides concrete examples of their thinking without creative editing. At the same time he shows how they have distorted or ignored the writings of the founding fathers and the bible to support their twisted views. It's almost as if he has been channeling the right wing viewer callers to C-SPAN rather than Machiavelli.
