In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 29 of 45), we look at talk radio’s impact on the culture wars, and why it “worked” for candidate Bill Clinton but against his administration.

In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 28 of 45) we explain why talk radio became so popular, with its hosts enjoying audiences larger than virtually any print journalist.

In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the most powerful voice on that new medium: radio.  By the 1990s, the most powerful voice on radio was Rush Limbaugh.  In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 27 of 45), we look at how that revolution took place.

“You owe it to your philosophy to learn how to win,” says Morton Blackwell.  Here is how his Leadership Institute has trained more than 191,000 conservative activists, leaders, and students in the skills needed to win.  (Excerpt 26 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Conservatives should always be willing to learn, not only from our own experiences but also from the experiences on the Left.  We interviewed Roger Craver and found lessons that can benefit today’s conservatives.  (Excerpt 25 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

As with the "Access Hollywood" tape, NBC seems to be trying to do penance for the "sin" of building Trump's national profile over the years with "The Apprentice" and then "Celebrity Apprentice." These "news" outlets complain that when President Trump attacks them for pushing "fake news," he is undermining "democratic norms." That's not correct. He is decrying the media's Democratic norms.

Conservatives would no longer have the use of their “secret weapon” (direct mail) to themselves.  It was no longer a secret.  (Excerpt 24 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By stopping the Equal Rights Amendment at the last moment, Phyllis Schlafly taught conservatives that nothing is inevitable.  We can do it!  (Excerpt 23 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Conservatives created the Religious Right in the 1970s.  Then in 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected president, thanks in large part to conservative direct mail. America had entered a new era. (Excerpt 22 of 45 from America's Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Leadership of the conservative movement shifted from Barry Goldwater to Ronald Reagan, and from the Old Right to the New Right, in the 1970s.  (Excerpt 21 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Direct mail is more than fundraising—it’s also a cheaper and more efficient form of advertising than the political campaign ads you see on television. (Excerpt 20 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Direct mail gave conservatives a voice in setting the nation’s political agenda, free of dependence on Republican bosses and big corporations.  (Excerpt 19 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Direct mail has unique advantages for a political movement shunned and disparaged by the mainstream media, as we see in excerpt 18 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.

We didn’t realize how much the conservative movement had grown since 1964 – and the establishment certainly had no clue – until the pivotal elections of 1978 and 1980.  (Excerpt 17 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
When I first went to work for the new conservative movement, it didn’t take me long to discover that I really didn’t like asking people face to face for money.  I found that I had a knack for writing letters, though, so that’s what I began to concentrate on.  (Excerpt 16 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

The establishment elites who ran the Republican and Democratic parties thought they had killed the conservative beast with Barry Goldwater’s crushing defeat in 1964. They didn’t count on our perseverance and our ingenuity—or our secret weapon.  Excerpt 15 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
The Goldwater campaign was the first mass campaign in modern American history, and its grass-roots nature changed the face of American politics, as we see in this excerpt (No. 14 of 45) from America’s Right Turn.

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
The assassination of President Kennedy presented a new and unparalleled opportunity to smear conservatives, and the liberal media and LBJ took full advantage of it.  That worked in 1964, but conservatives would not be defeated that easily, as we see in this excerpt (No. 13 of 45) from America’s Right Turn.

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
By the numbers, 1964 was an unmitigated disaster for conservatives.  But it was worse than it had to be, since the liberals controlled all of the mass media, and used that pulpit to smear all conservatives as fascists and Nazis.  It worked—for the time being, in Excerpt 12 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Why did conservatives succeed in creating a mass movement, while the libertarians fell short?  This is not just ancient history—there are critical lessons here for today’s conservatives, in this excerpt (No. 11 of 45) from America’s Right Turn: How Conservatives Used New and Alternative Media to Take Power.
