Reseña del libro "The GOP Bible for 2016 (en Inglés)"
The GOP is deeply in trouble, without any hope to win another presidential election in the foreseeable future! Here are four main reasons: 1)Democratic imperialism: The GOP has been too pro-war. Most Americans hate wars! 2)Religion: While the religious right supports the GOP, its positions on several major social issues (e.g. abortion) are no longer popular and are costing many votes. 3)Democratic socialism: "Democracy is the road to socialism". Who said it? Karl Marx! Because of this natural progression from democracy to socialism, the Democratic Party has been increasingly advantageous over the GOP, by attrition! 4)Ideas: To counter the natural advantage of the Democratic Party by attrition, the GOP must periodically come up with some grand new ideas that resonate with most Americans. Unfortunately, that has been missing for way too long ... What, then, should the GOP do? In principle, the GOP must come to the middle right, winning the middle 20% of the electorate. Specifically, the GOP must draw a stark contrast with the Democratic Party, and here it is: 1)The Democratic Party is the party of new slavery (i.e. pay without work). 2)The GOP was the party of Lincoln who abolished slavery (i.e. work without pay) more than 150 years ago. It can again be the party to abolish new slavery from the Democratic Party today! The image below shows my winning strategy for the GOP (omitted here). Specifically, 1)The GOP must denounce democratic imperialism, as perpetuated by the extreme right (e.g. John McCain and Lindsey Graham). 2)The GOP must denounce democratic socialism, as perpetuated by the extreme left (e.g. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid). 3)The GOP must be committed to restoring America as a republic with full-blown capitalism and a limited version of "affordable" democracy, largely as envisioned by our founding fathers. This strategy will resonate with most Americans, guaranteed! Furthermore, with a great party leader in Rand Paul or Chris Christie who will be committed to this strategy, the GOP can, and will, win the 2016 presidential election, guaranteed! This book is composed of 43 of my published articles in 2013, logically organized into a coherent whole in 10 parts as follows: 1)The GOP is dead; long live the GOP! 2)America: where are you going? 3)Correctly assessing American Presidents 4)My four open letters 5)Leadership 6)The race to the bottom 7)America: what are you doing? 8)America: a nation of self-made men! 9)America: let's have some fun! 10)Going beyond America Each part contains several chapters. Each chapter is an article previously published, with some significant re-writing to fit it in context. Some articles have their original publication dates attached, with the events at the time as the background. Part 1 is the core of the book. Parts 2-4 provide the first line of support for Part 1. Parts 5-10 provide the rest of the support. This book is also available as an e-book. This paperback is different from its sister e-book in two ways: 1)Like the e-book, the table of contents appears right after this page, without the hyper-links, of course. 2)Like the e-book, there is not a bibliography at the end of the book. Since all the references are available on-line, a reader can easily find them with a Google search by title. Now, just sit back and enjoy the book ...
