Book Description
eric (yes, lowercase e) is politically conservative, morally liberal, and – by his own admission – completely off kilter. These quirks have allowed him to pursue his goal of being the world’s preeminent Republican Jewish blogger (www.tygrrrrexpress.com). eric has dedicated his life to fighting ideological bigotry – what he defines as a pervasive disdain for conservatives merely because they exist. With this book, eric presents his best columns as a cohesive discussion, ranging from serious to senseless, of why questioning issues such as the legality of gay marriage does not make one a homophobe; wanting to privatize social security does not mean one wishes to see seniors bleeding to death on the streets; and examining whether affirmative action succeeds does not make one a racist. With engaging and often amusing insight, eric illustrates how people can disagree without impugning their humanity. With Ideological Bigotry and his ongoing blog, eric’s ultimate goal is to make the world a better place. Within these pages, he illuminates that until liberals see conservatives as a noble opposition, they will continue to live in the intellectual, ethical, and political wilderness reserved for those who prefer rage, hatred, and anger to rolling up their sleeves and creating solutions.

Book Description
Ideolotical bigotry is the hatred of people simply due to their political or ideological beliefs and is as destructive as racial or ethnic bigotry, although it receives far less attention. The author believes it should be handled in the same way as all other bigotry, with swift, loud condemnation and full throttled self-defense.

Book Description
Are antisemitism and white supremacy manifestations of a general phenomenon? Why didn't racism appear in Europe before the fourteenth century, and why did it flourish as never before in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? Why did the twentieth century see institutionalized racism in its most extreme forms? Why are egalitarian societies particularly susceptible to virulent racism? What do apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, and the American South under Jim Crow have in common? How did the Holocaust advance civil rights in the United States? With a rare blend of learning, economy, and cutting insight, George Fredrickson surveys the history of Western racism from its emergence in the late Middle Ages to the present. Beginning with the medieval antisemitism that put Jews beyond the pale of humanity, he traces the spread of racist thinking in the wake of European expansionism and the beginnings of the African slave trade. And he examines how the Enlightenment and nineteenth-century romantic nationalism created a new intellectual context for debates over slavery and Jewish emancipation. Fredrickson then makes the first sustained comparison between the color-coded racism of nineteenth-century America and the antisemitic racism that appeared in Germany around the same time. He finds similarity enough to justify the common label but also major differences in the nature and functions of the stereotypes invoked. The book concludes with a provocative account of the rise and decline of the twentieth century's overtly racist regimes--the Jim Crow South, Nazi Germany, and apartheid South Africa--in the context of world historical developments. This illuminating work is the first to treat racism across such a sweep of history and geography. It is distinguished not only by its original comparison of modern racism's two most significant varieties--white supremacy and antisemitism--but also by its eminent readability.

Book Description
The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Book Description
Conservatives are busy trying to save the world. The world is going to heck in a handbasket, and liberals are trying to figure out whether to hold angry peace rallies or celebrate the environment by leaving their signs on the grass for productive people to clean up. If only they knew how many trees and bunny rabbits were murdered on 9/11 by people unconcerned with carbon emissions. Liberals like to declare every conservative on the planet to be either evil or stupid. Ideological Idiocy is about their declaration of our being unenlightened dolts. This is ideological idiocy. Having liberals declare the author stupid is like listening to members of the KKK call him insensitive. Conservatives must remember that our critics do not matter. Nobody listens to these crying children. For those that do not have a blunt instrument nearby, or are looking for a solution that avoids jail, humor is a powerful weapon. Use it against the left every moment they breathe. They may get offended, but that is the point. The only thing that the author wants to communicate in this book is that without love and laughter, there is no life. Nothing he does will change the world, but if it gets a stiff person to lighten up and smile, he is pleased.

Book Description
Ideological Violence is dedicated to the enraged mobs who try to destroy everything that is decent and right with this world through any means necessary. Islamofascist Jihadists use bombs. So have many environmentalists, animal rights activists, college professors, college protesters, community organizers, and other leftist organizations that truly believe in forcing their world view on innocent Americans trying to live their lives in peace and quiet. Hollywood sanitizes violence when committed by third world genocidal lunatics while glorifying violence against CPAs wearing red and blue diagonal neckties. The author’s Judaism has shown him a plethora of liberal Jews that shrug off Osama Bin Laden wielding a bomb and preaching Jihad but froth at the mouth over Pat Robertson wielding a book and preaching love thy neighbor. His goal is to end ideological violence and force liberals to confront their own pathological demons and stop blaming conservatives for their own failures. Once they realize that we are human beings, we can come together and work on solutions to benefit the world. If the left insists on war, war is what they will get, and they will be crushed. If this makes him a hero to conservatives, resulting in him being sandwiched between a pair of hot Republican Jewish brunettes who fan him and drop grapes into his mouth, all the better.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed linguist John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric. Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We’re told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is “appropriation.” We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we’ll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion—and one that’s illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of “white privilege” and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the “woke mob.” He shows how this religion that claims to “dismantle racist structures” is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called “antiracism,” but it features a racial essentialism that’s barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it’s not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.

Book Description

In Eric's true, take no prisoners style he impales liberals with a mixture of facts, wit, and outright humor melded together in a writing style guaranteed to grab your attention and not let go. This is a must read for anyone who is wondering why America is upside down." Lt. Col. Bill Cowan, Fox News military analyst and author of Snatching Hillary: A Satirical Novel "Eric has two ambitions: To impregnate a pretty Republican Jewish brunette (after marrying her) and to save his beloved America. This book will further both goals. Incisive, impassioned and laugh-out-loud funny, what smart politically conservative Jewish girl could possibly resist Eric after reading this? What loyal American could not be inspired after reading Eric's cutting arguments?" Trevor Loudon, international speaker and author of The Enemies Within "Eric has done it again. His new book Ideological Lunacy is politically conservative 'Lenny Bruce.' I love when somebody can restate an idea from a perspective I haven't thought about, and be clever and funny. The opportunities for derivative thought in Eric's work is endless, and I suggest adding Ideological Lunacy to your library as a 'must read.'" Kevin Jackson, Syndicated Radio Host and Best-Selling Author of The Big Black Lie. "Eric makes me laugh. Not just because I feel his opinions about liberals are complete lunacy; but because he can make politics fun and entertaining." Leslie Marshall, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host and Fox News Contributor "A raucous roller coaster of Republican rants worth the ride." Dee Dee Sorvino, Emmy award winning TV host and commentator; former Chairman, Young Republican National Federation Ideological Lunacy is what happens to the left when their worst plans inevitably fail. The world is on fire. Islamists are trying to spread a worldwide caliphate. Terrorists are running wild. There is global financial instability. Conservatives are busy trying to save the world from domestic and foreign threats. Liberals led by rich white leftists are worried about temperature changes in a world God created and the name of a football team. From pointy-headed witless academics to celebrity bimbos, Ideological Lunacy calls out the craziest people in society and attempts to teach them how to act normal. Whether your favorite charity is Burn the Forests or Molotov Mocktails for Metrosexuals, the political spectrum has space for you. Have some dead cow and some sugar-flavored carbonation and enjoy this book. For the perpetually angry left, Ideological Lunacy is an intervention.
