The Moral Depravity of the Democrat Party
David Horowitz: “Woke” has become a term to describe the enemies of our country who have colonized our schools and taught our next generations to hate America, hate white people and trash our history and national pride. How to explain this travesty? It began fifty years ago when the anti-American, Marxist left set its sights…

Five Grades of Agnosticism
In David Horowitz's Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America (Humanix, 2018), we read: My own theological views are those of an agnostic — one who doesn't know. I do not know whether there is a Divine designer or not. (p. 24) Well, I don't know either. I agree with Horowitz when he tells…

David Horowitz, Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey, Touchstone, 1997, p. 55: After the Russian Revolution of 1905, the philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev analyzed communism as a form of idolatry in a way that proved to be prophetic. Berdyaev traced the origins of what he called the Marxist “heresy” back to the tower of Babel. In that…
