- The death of right and wrong : exposing the left's assault on our culture and values / by Bruce, Tammy.(CARDINAL)666103;
- Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-325) and index.Through the looking glass -- The Left's inquisition -- Then and NOW : feminists and killers and men. Oh my! -- First the culture, then the children : the agenda of the radical gay elite -- Enslaving their own : betrayal by the Black elite -- A weapon in the hands of the Left : the real agenda of the academic elite -- Destruction of the innocents : the Left targets children -- Trashing the public trust : media's destruction of culture -- The injustice system : putting the decent in danger.If you believe children should be seduced into warped sexual behavior by the Gay Elite, if you think confessed murderers should be set free by defense attorneys who know how to wield the race card, if you feel promiscuous gay men should be empowered to spread AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, don't read this book. But if you've always suspected that factions on the Left are trying to destroy the values that define our civilization, this book proves it. Through the pages of The Death of Right and Wrong, author, activist, and pundit Tammy Bruce takes you inside the chilling world of the Left-a place where morals and decency have been turned on their heads and the crisp distinction between Right and Wrong has been blurred into a mushy, gray mess. In this world, the Gay Elite exploit our children-under the guise of tolerance and education-to satisfy their sexual obsessions. In this world, the Black Elite laud convicted murderers as community heroes and award-winning artists. In this world, the Feminist Elite fawn over a woman who mercilessly killed all five of her children. And much more that will offend your sense of decency and threaten your basic values. Ms. Bruce smashes the facades of "Tolerance," "Understanding," and other Leftist slogans to reveal the ugly truth of their agenda. As a gay activist and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization of Women, she witnessed firsthand the Left's attempts to undermine our millennia-old code of morals and values, aided by politically biased media and academia. And if the news headlines of today are any indication, they're winning the culture war. Unless we act now, we are doomed at the hands of special interest groups on the Left who want nothing more than to undermine our ability to judge right from wrong in order to foist their own selfish, anything-goes society on the rest of us. This book reveals what they're doing, how they're doing it, and what we can do to restore decency in our society. You'll discover powerful tools in these pages to help you understand the psychology of the Left-what makes them tick and, more importantly, how to stop them from eroding our values completely. Full of controversial opinions and countless examples ripped from the headlines, The Death of Right and Wrong is a powerful, eye-opening book that you won't want to be without.
