HE: One focus of your book is countering the predictable demonization of conservative politicians by the left-wing establishment.

Horowitz: To solve it, take away the target. My advice to Republicans is, You have to go over the heads of the media, because the media hate us. You have to do something that in one stroke makes it difficult for them to say, "These people don't care about black people, they don't care about Hispanics, they don't care about poor people." In their minds, we won't spend a dime on them, so you have to spend money, too. That's important. It has to be a really big program to get over the heads of the media to convince people that Republicans will actually violate their principles in order to help people.

It's like when Bill Clinton breaks the budget cap to put money into schools. Republicans say, "Gotcha! You broke the budget cap." No. By breaking the budget cap, he shows how important it is to help the kids. The education bill that I got Rep. Jim Rogan [R.-Calif.] to do is like a hundred billion dollars, and it's targeted at kids, in Title I schools: 12 million black and Hispanic kids getting $6,800-a-year scholarships, which is what we pay to educate them in the public schools. For conservatives, we made it locally controlled, and we made the school and the kid accountable.

GWBush did more for minorities as Governor and POTUS than any other leader. I swear the only thing that seems to matter to most blacks is the color of the skin and liberals in general see only party affiliation.

As demonstrated by the current pop-culture, identity politics and main stream media, this is all about the color of your skin and not character!

You call it "smoked", I call it "bone-chilling".

OK. My thing is that I didn’t feel like such a voice in the wilderness after seeing it. Didn’t show it to the other half, though. I like the other half. And, my TV.

When Horowitz started talking about how the liberal just wants to destroy whatever system is in place regardless of having their own system to replace it, is when I got the chill running down my back. I've never seriously considered the USA breaking down into total anarchy before that moment.

That's precisely the Alinsky/ Obama/ Soros/ Emanuel goal.

What does Soros have to gain by anarchy? Alinsky is dead and Obama and Emmanuel would get a free pass in (name a country that hates us), but Soros has investments.

"but Soros has investments. "

And just where exactly does he have investments? Seems like about a week or so ago I heard about Obama's sweet deal for Brazil(?) that enriched Soros.
