Patriotic Federalist

The abridged edition of the enduring masterwork—a classic portrait of America’s culture and people

Originally penned in the mid-nineteenth century by Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America remains the most comprehensive, penetrating, and astute picture of American life, politics, and morals ever written, as relevant today as when it first appeared in print nearly two hundred years ago.

This abridged edition by scholar and historian Scott A. Sandage includes a new introduction and editorial notes, and offers students and the general reader alike easy access to the preeminent translation by George Lawrence, widely recognized as the best translation based on the second revised and corrected text of the 1961 French edition, edited by J. P. Mayer.

1. Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.

2. If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse the conservatives of.

3. The amount of wealth in any given area is inversely proportional to the amount of Democrats running it.

4. Liberalism only succeeds when the public is scared into believing that it will not survive without it.

5. When liberalism conflicts with reality, reality must give way.

6. Facts are the enemy of liberalism.

7. Things are different when you are a Democrat [regarding his allegations of the media’s ignorance towards Democratic scandals and misconduct]. [Look at all the tax cheats exposed in the Democratic leadership since Obama took office – Editor]

8. A Liberal is any person for whom two thousand years of human experience and history means nothing now that they are here.

9. To liberals, intentions are more significant than the outcomes they achieve.

10. Liberals never think what they are doing is wrong, they only think they haven’t done enough of it yet or it is underfunded.

11. Profiling is what groups call bigotry when they have a problem they don’t want to talk about.

12. Democrats and liberals do not engage in debate, they try to silence you. If they engaged in debate, they’d lose.

13. Democrats are political opportunists.

14. Liberalism is based on unproved and/or disproved theory.

15. Every culture is unquestionable except the West’s.

16. Liberals view the world the way they think it should be, not the way it is.

17. Being a liberal is the art of standing on ones own head and telling the rest of the world that they are upside down.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Hollywood has been liberal for a much longer time than it was ever conservative, but the trend in filmmaking may be moving back to the right.

Although overshadowed by her traumatic personal life, Sandra Bullock’s nomination and 2010 Oscar award for her performance in the 2009 film, The Blind Side, put many Hollywood directors on notice that family-oriented films with realistic conservative narratives are an important new addition to the industry (see a review of The Blind Side).
