The National Rifle Association is a conservative success story—and an alternative media success story, using them to stop the gun-grabbers and gun-controllers.  (Excerpt 31 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 29 of 45), we look at talk radio’s impact on the culture wars, and why it “worked” for candidate Bill Clinton but against his administration.

In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the most powerful voice on that new medium: radio.  By the 1990s, the most powerful voice on radio was Rush Limbaugh.  In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 27 of 45), we look at how that revolution took place.

“You owe it to your philosophy to learn how to win,” says Morton Blackwell.  Here is how his Leadership Institute has trained more than 191,000 conservative activists, leaders, and students in the skills needed to win.  (Excerpt 26 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By stopping the Equal Rights Amendment at the last moment, Phyllis Schlafly taught conservatives that nothing is inevitable.  We can do it!  (Excerpt 23 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

I was honored to be asked to be one of those who eulogized Phyllis Schlafly this past Saturday, along with Congressman Steve King of Iowa, Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas, Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition Ralph Reed, and several of Phyllis’ family members. General and Mrs. John Singlaub were also in attendance.

No matter how bad things looked on Capitol Hill during the 1970s, hope and encouragement came from Phyllis Schlafly and her legions of women who defeated the ERA state-by-state and in so doing showed conservatives what effective political organizing and bare-knuckle politics could accomplish when it was separated from the drag of the Republican establishment.
