Dark Government

New York Times best-selling author David Horowitz exposes not only the progressive war against Christianity but also a war against America and its founding principles - which are Christian in their origin.

With lucidity and wit, he establishes that cybercrime has less to do with defective programming than with the faulty wiring of our psyches and society.

The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against "big government" led to the ascendancy of a broad-based conservative movement.
