Joe Scarborough takes aim at the political establishment from both parties in this conservative manifesto. He argues that Republican Party leaders have abandoned core principles while Democrats have accelerated destructive policies. Scarborough examines how Washington and Wall Street created the housing bubble that triggered financial collapse. He critiques Barack Obama's stimulus plan as socialist spending that exceeds anything previous Democratic presidents attempted. The author challenges conservatives to study Ronald Reagan's actual record rather than mythologize his legacy. Scarborough presents his vision for authentic conservatism that can address twenty-first century challenges. He offers readers a framework for political reform based on what he calls the forgotten wisdom of conservative thought. The book serves as both critique of current leadership and blueprint for future conservative governance.
