Republican Gomorrah Audiobook (Free)

That is a crackling, spicy, and investigative portrait of the freaky and theocratic fringe elements within the conservative movement who are actually calling the shots in the post-Bush GOP-and a roadmap to understanding the politics of personal crisis and redemption that unites them.

Republican Gomorrah is normally a bestiary of dysfunction, scandal, and sordidness from your dark heart from the forces that now have a leash within the party. It displays how those causes are the types that establishment Republicans, about Republican Gomorrah like John McCain, need to bow to if they have any wish of running for president. It shows that Sarah Palin was the reasonable choice of a celebration in the control of theocrats. But more than simply an exposé, Republican Gomorrah demonstrates many of the movement’s leading figures have more in common than just the energy they order within conservative ranks. Their personal lives have been stained by problems and scandal: depressive disorder, mental illness, extramarital affairs, struggles with homosexual urges, large medication, dependence on pornography, serial home abuse, and even murder.

Inspired by the work of psychologist Erich Fromm, who asserted that worries of freedom propels anxiety-ridden people into authoritarian settings, Blumenthal points out in a convincing narrative how a culture of personal crisis provides defined the radical right, transforming the nature from the Republican Party for another generation and establishing the stage for future years of American politics.
